Wanted: one or preferably two cassette tape decks or walkmen that the lender doesn’t mind getting back in the form of a pile of parts (or a thankful email). The second one (if available) needs to work and have the ability to record. The first doesn’t need to work at all.
Alright, you’ve got the parameters for the riddle. Now, what could I be up to? How does this scenario end with a dead man in a puddle of water in a locked room? How many legs have I got at various times of the day? And whose son am I? Etc.
I’m serious about the request, though.
ALSO: This is an unintentionally great name for a site.
I could gift you at least two working-but-destroyable walkmen. I’ll have to check on the “record” function, though.
But it it worth mailing across the country? Let’s just say I’m skeptical…
Also, am I the only person out there who really, really hates the word “bleg”?
Yeah, I appreciate the offer, but I suspect there are more-broken options closer to home. But thank you.

This criticism would carry more weight if you hadn’t just used “gift” as a verb. But you’re right, it’s a terrible word, like pretty much every term descended from the word “weblog”.
I have an old one at my parents’ house that you can use; I’ll grab it when I’m up there, some time in the next few days probably.
awesome. thanks, Matt.
tom, there’s a broken-looking component-style dual cassette deck that has been living in our breakroom, slowly making its way towards the trashcan. “Free to a good home,” it declares. E-mail me if you’d like me to rescue it for your no-doubt nefarious purposes. My delightful roommate is headed your way this weekend and could probably bring it along.
