I can’t believe you got your hands on a State VHS and I wasn’t informed!!!! Porcupine Racetrack alone is guaranteed to make me hyperventilate and/or fall out of my chair laughing.

Sorry; I was going to tell you but then I got sidetracked by $240 worth of pudding. My only complaint about this tape is that it doesn’t have the Bacon sketch.
