- knde, on 10/10/2007, -2/+79That was a surprisingly entertaining read. Even more so, as I didn't know people still rented porn! I thought everyone just got it on-line these days.
Best-yet-worst-line : "I am deeply relieved to report that V8refers to fingers. How sad that I've reached a point in my life that the fact that a woman is only having four fingers jammed up her anus while another four are jammed up her vagina is a relief." - rudy23, on 10/10/2007, -6/+49"Safe for Work as long as you don't read it aloud."
I loled - omnithought, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37Solution for the hand sanitizer abuser: surgical gloves. If I worked in a porn store I'd sure as hell use them.
- sensoukami, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35Damn, that's a good read. The lady has gift with words. I've read far worse writing from people who get paid to do it...
- RealmDown, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26This is porn. The object IS to go down as fast as possible....
- Bahimiron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23I absolutely loved True Porn Clerk Stories back when it was new.
Which was a while ago.
She's since moved and is a part time actor. Her livejournal is funny, interesting and sad. http://alidavis.livejournal.com/ - NinjaPig, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23this is the funniest blog since maddox

This "blog" was from 2002. Before DSL became the majority. Hell, before the word "blog" became popular. In the old days at the turn of the century, people were still showing up to rent tapes. - mwolfzorn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14That's just the intro, pages 1-4 below

Damnit, I always forget that subtle technicality! - Sandurz, on 10/10/2007, -7/+18Maddox is a giant pile of contrived fail
- f4nt0m4s, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Dugg for the amazing writing skills of the author. Telling a story requires detail and good writing skills.
You learn a lot about people working retail for over a year, I know I did. If you haven't worked in retail I highly recommend this as a read, because it's pretty accurate and probably without exaggeration. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I used to work for the power company and one day I went to shut the lights off to a porn shop who didnt pay the bill. Well the meter, where you cut the power, was inside in a large closet. Well, i had to argue w/ the guy to let mw back there and when he did there was a bad smell and old couch with a dvd/vcr w/ TV setup in front of a gianormous pile of cum rags and a roll of paper towels laying on the couch. I did my job w/out vomitting and left quickly. Porn shops are sick.
- techsmack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8It is amazing how so many of these stories parallel my horror stories from working at GameStop... Perhaps there was not as much semen on everything, or maybe that is what that was, on second thought, but it didn't mean that people didn't bring stuff in that was utterly nasty. We burned through our fare share of hand sanitizer, and washing our hands in the back sink. Some of us made it a point that after dealing with said merchandise (mostly trade ins from scummy people) we would stop what we were doing and go wash our hands, regardless of line, or customer levels in store.
I can't recall the specific number of game systems (from NES to XBOX) that when the customer would plop the machine on our counter, about 50 of his household friends would come running out. The would run and hide, and for the rest of the day, you'd be spraying them with the disinfectant spray or smashing them with paper towels. How can people live like that?
Not to mention DVDs or CD/DVD games that get traded in with what was nearly obviously cleaned by the persons tongue, with nice tongue streaks and everything.
I could go on, but I think you understand... - RedSkies, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7http://alidavis.livejournal.com/
Take a look yourself... - bightchee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Reminds me of Acts of Gord (stories from a videogame store owner/ clerk)

- queekus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5i don't see her, just a bunch of other people at some sort of party.
- ronaldinho, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Haha, all the Mr.Buddy, Mr.Creaky, Mr.Glasses pseudonyms are making me think this girl is the reincarnation of Sayuri in the Memoirs of a Geisha.....I think I need to see pics of the girl
- Worldchrisis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Maddox used to be the e-king of the comedy blog world, people only really started hating him since he wrote a book and "sold out". Now he just writes an article every two months and they're generally short and lame. His older posts are pretty good though.

There's a New Porn Freak in Town
Posted on 03-31-2002 at 10:01 PM
We have a new vistor to the porn section. He's been in twice now. Actually, he's been in at least three times, as he is a registered member, but he's only stood out twice.
He comes in, goes down to the straight porn section, and whips out a hand mirror. Then he applies makeup for about an hour.
Seriously.
No browsing, no chatting people up, no whacking. In, mirror, makeup and out. And again, he's in the straight section.
No one's sure what to do yet.
The last time he was in, two clerks went down to ask him a) what was up and b) to leave. He pointed out that he was a registered member, and that he wasn't stealing, whacking off, or bothering anyone. Since he wasn't hurting anyone, why did he have to leave?
Nobody's thought of an answer yet, and we're not really sure we want to toss him for loitering. He is, after all, just putting on makeup.
But why in our porn section? It has such harsh fluorescent lighting.
I'm sure we'll find out eventually. I can't wait. - redthirteen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4This is a classic.

So I'm in the little adult section room and put away all of the straight tags first, then just as I start on the pile of gay tags a guy I sort of knew, who didn't know i worked there, walks in. Luckily I think he didn't see the 30 or so tags in my hand.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It went down after I clicked it just now, I only got this far:
Back in February of 2002, Ali Davis began keeping this journal of stories about her experiences working at a video store. For a while, it was a well kept secret how good her journal was. Then she appeared on NPR's "This American Life" and all hell broke loose.
Within days, the link of her journal started circulating around the internet via blogs, emails and chat rooms. It peaked at number two on the Daypop Top 40. Over a million people have come to read this journal so far. It caused a lot of new traffic which was hard to absorb by our site. But somehow we managed it. We had to upgrade to a semi dedicated server to handle the increased traffic, and that was made possible by the generous donations of our members and those who visited the site.

Improv Resource Center - napsack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2They work wonders. No need for sanitizer or money sponges. Bags and bills stick to it.
- Sandurz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm reading it right now with no problems or mirrors...
- RevEng, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You obviously didn't read her post about people spelling come "cum". Come is actually the original spelling; who knows why people ever started spelling it "cum".
- mahdaeng, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2She does look like the nun/mother/etc. that she mentions in her blog.
- JonnyTrombone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Not unless the internet was brand new in 2002.
- daecrist, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Everything old is new again.
- dbzer0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I read this so loooong ago. Still great though
- daneyuleb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2A. You didn't, in fact, warn anybody about anything.
B. She's no porn goddess, but she's ok--a normal looking woman.
C. You don't know how to post a useful link. Try:

At least I can laugh about it. Sometimes I have to pull my lips into a rictus grin, peel my tongue off the roof of my mouth and punch myself in the solar plexus, but a laugh is a laugh."
lol - r00ts, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I still miss tardblog though :(.
- rayxtime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Bookmarked
- daneyuleb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1A. I'm holding up my 3 middle fingers. Can you read between those lines?
B. Normal would not be what was implied with your candy-assed, insulting "Don't say I didn't warn you..." comment. Don't pretend otherwise.
C. Uh, no. It's called a "screenname". But it has some basis in fact (as many do). In this case, my name is "Daniel". As for the factual nugget in your "screenname", Blimpmaster... Are you really a zeppelin shaped loser with delusions of grandeur? Or do you just like to masterbate with inflatible things? - evilpig, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://www.filmmakermagazine.com/blog/island_fever_3_s.jpg
- NSResponder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I guess we'll just have to take your word for that. Please don't tell us how you know.

- Darkyuubi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Only started the read but man this is gonna keep me occupied for a LONG time.
Most. Hilarious. Blog. EVER. - CompIsMyRx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Especially since this is a woman writing the blog.
- Rodman930, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Anyone notice that none of the titles followed the (A) B N format she gave?
- mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, I was looking for an RSS feed before I realized how old the page is. Darn.
- datamyte, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Just spent the better part of 2 hours reading this, very entertaining laughing at the brainless customer.
