Some Beautiful Maniac Built An Entire Old School Video Store Inside Of His House During Quarantine

Well that son of a bitch just blew my quarantine project out of the water. Granted, my quarantine project was just adding 20 pounds directly to my already humongous gut and somehow not losing my mind as my two kids ran wild in my house during lockdown. Nonetheless, this is still the most impressive quarantine project I've seen yet. My nostalgia bone gets tickled pink just looking at old Blockbuster pictures until I can smell the old popcorn mixed with thousands of plastic boxes or even the old school wrestling PPV displays showing off some of Coliseum Videos finest work.

But that bone would be tickled until completion if I had an entire old school video store in my house. No need to worry about driving to the store only to discover that the movie you planned your entire night around was sold out before settling on the best Plan C available on those dusty ass shelves since you know your backup choice was sold out too (we truly don't know how good we have it these days). Granted, this guy essentially built himself a doghouse as well considering how thrilled his wife sounded that he didn't spend his unlimited time to fixing up those cabinets in the kitchen. But while happy wife, happy life may be a nice saying, refinished cabinets don't give you a shot of dopamine directly to your core by reminding you of a time when bills and pandemics were things you occasionally heard adults talk about. The local video store in this guy's town may have died, but its organs helped bring this masterpiece to life, which is pretty beautiful when you think about it.

Since you are a degenerate reading this blog on Barstool Sports, I know your next question is whether or not they had a porn section since there was no rush like trying to sneak a peak at a boob on a cardboard box at the curtained off porn section of the video store before some thirsty old man bustled his way out. Maybe it was a teacher, a friend's dad, or just your every day derelict. But that was truly living.

What was I saying? Oh yeah, they do have a porn section!

You gotta be one sick son of a bitch to put the porn right in plain eyesight of the kids. Or a pretty cool video store owner in the eyes of a teenager. Or a guy with wayyyy too much time and money on his hands that was able to build a fucking old school video store in his basement. I'd say I want to be this guy when I grow up but I'm probably older than him yet still couldn't correctly build a Lego version of a video store if I tried yet this guy is building stores inside of houses like a goddamn wizard.
