The best thing since pants with pockets...

Posted: Monday, January 12, 2009 – 2:23 PM


If you dont know whats up with the good ol' Red Box, i feel sorry for you.

Theres one about 5 minutes (walking time) from my apartment, right outside a Walgreens, and its god damn awesome.

$1 a day, and tons of the new releases on the day they release. I watched Righteous Kill last Tuesday when it came out. I spend about $5-6 a week on this thing, which i have no complaints about. If i was watching 5 or 6 movies from Blockbuster, which is a 3 minute walk for me, id be spending $25-30 easily.

Netflix is great, and my girl has it so i watch tons of DVDs through them, but while youre waiting for that little red envelope to show up in your mailbox, check out the big red box outside your local drugstore. (or wherever else they may be popping up)

    I've had one at the McDonalds by my house for about a year now... love it... except for when it's down (like once every month and a half).

    Plus McDonalds is always giving out free rentals and shit. Check redbox.com, you can sign up to receive free rentals on Mondays. The code works for anyone, so if you use two different credit/debit cards you can rent multiple movies for free. It's sick.

    There is one of these at the grocery store I go to, walk by it all the time and never really pay it any mind. Even though it says it right on the front, I never realized it was only $1. Not a big movie watcher but for $1, I'll watch The Notebook.

    Also, thanks to the WC and its love for Sailor Jerry, I have refound my passion for spiced rum. Thank you gents, you have made me see the light....again.

    Speaking of rum. Mixing rum with cranberry(i know it sounds gross) is a very tasty and dangerous way to end up too drunk, try it some time.
