So I was poking around one of my local Hard Offs today, and in the laserdisc bin, I saw a sleeve that was the wrong size.  Rather, a size that I don't think laserdiscs came in.  So I pulled it out.  Then I noticed a Honda logo.  I knew I immediately had to have it, regardless of what it was.  It didn't matter that my family's laserdisc player was on the other side of the planet.

Yeah, so I dicked up the first article. This one will be a little bit better, but still needs improvement to be perfect.
