Hey man it required effort!
Try hiding a videotape when you live with parents and siblings.
Try using a toploading vhs videoplayer... quietly! And getting the thing to stop, eject the tape and give you time to hide the damn thing when you hear a car pull into the driveway...
Try acquiring said tapes when you can't buy them anywhere, and anything easy to find is not usually worth it.
Try acquiring magazines when they're on a top shelf, you can't buy them, and their content is nothing like the stuff available across the rest of Europe at the time (that one I got in Rome on a family holiday and hid in my case was a revelation!)
You had to be inventive back then.
So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.
