It was twenty years ago today (1 December 1989) that the National Film Archives of South Africa first opened its' doors to a 22 year old, wearing a pair of 100 year old underpants.  Buggedout

I cannot believe that I have been here since then and that my childhood hobby has actually become my job, my bread and butter (or actually, my bread and a little bit of butter).

I look forward to the next 23 years when both me and my undies will go on pension  Smile TeddyR

Congratulations Trevor!  Twenty years can go by so quickly when you are doing what you enjoy.  They must appreciate you: clearly the underpants have not been an issue!

200 years from now, archaeologists will dig up the remains of the film archive, open a film can, and find a pair of soiled underpants.  And they will wonder about the significance of this discovery for many years . . .

If our air conditioners were still somehow working, those underpants would have been frozen solid and would need a blowtorch applied to bring back their unique aroma.  Buggedout Buggedout

Thanks ~ it is quite a cool job. The pay's not great but it is an interesting job. If it weren't an interesting job, I would have quit long ago.  Smile

You might have a great marketing idea:  TREVOR'S UNDERPANTS IN SIX UNIQUE AROMAS:

* Asparagus
* Beer
* Beans
* Broccoli
* Dairy
* Mixed Special

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
