Friday Happy Hour Video: A bootleg tape!

11.30.2018 by David Murray // Leave a Comment

Not only unsafe for work but grounds for mandatory dismissal, this ancient tape of a Kingston, Ontario resident calling Kingston Cablenet many years ago is set to music and digitally remastered. I think it works as a nice grace note to conclude what organically became "Rage Week" here at Writing Boots.

Thanks to Ron Shewchuk for reminding me of this, and forwarding the further background that the man left more than 40 messages in the course of only four hours of having his cable out; each time he called, he had to endure a long message about the greatness of Kingston Cablenet.
