"This account is actually run by a few of us at the store. Were a small operation, so we take turns running social media, working the registers, and cleaning out the return drop box. A lot of people seem to think its a trash receptacle even though we taped up a sign that says its for movies and games only," "The Last Blockbuster" revealed in an interview to The Daily Dot.
According to one of their tweets, "The Last Blockbuster" is located "in the Oak Park Shopping Center between Ace Hardware and the former O'Kelly Dojo." The hugely popular twitter account already has more than 169K followers but it's not entirely clear whether they exist or it is just a parody account.

These tweets made my day, but I dropped my Twitter account because they refuse to require Drumpf and his ilk to follow the rules the rest of us were required to follow.

@erolsvideo I used to slide your Red, Plastic, Foam-lined cases on my forearm and pretend it was a laser cannon.

Amazon reviews (and questions) of the Hutzler 571 banana slicer
Q: I bought one of these and from the day I set it down in my kitchen, my bananas have stopped talking to me. What now?
A: They are plotting to kill you. Move immediately. Leave bananas. Take slicer. Buy new, non-confrontational bananas.
No more winning for you, Mr. Banana!

For decades I have been trying to come up with an ideal way to slice a banana. "Use a knife!" they say. Well...my parole officer won't allow me to be around knives. "Shoot it with a gun!" Background check...HELLO! I had to resort to carefully attempt to slice those bananas with my bare hands. 99.9% of the time, I would get so frustrated that I just ended up squishing the fruit in my hands and throwing it against the wall in anger. Then, after a fit of banana-induced rage, my parole officer introduced me to this kitchen marvel and my life was changed. No longer consumed by seething anger and animosity towards thick-skinned yellow fruit, I was able to concentrate on my love of theatre and am writing a musical play about two lovers from rival gangs that just try to make it in the world. I think I'll call it South Side Story.
Banana slicer...thanks to you, I see greatness on the horizon.
It goes on and on and on

Yet another fabulous wonder thanks to Amazon.
