On Thursday, Blockbuster Alaska announced that the rental chain's last two Alaskan stores will shut down on Monday, with liquidation sales to follow. The news means that only one Blockbuster store will remain in the United States, in Bend, Oregon.
"We hope to see you at our stores during the closing, even if it's just to say 'Hello,'" the final two shops' managers posted in a Facebook announcement on Thursday. "What a great time to build your media library and share some Blockbuster memories with us."
Blockbuster fans, act now to return your late videos! Perhaps your late fees can keep them alive.

At the time the Mac came out (1984) and Lisa (1983) the single button moose was a good idea. When presented with multiple buttons, people were confused as to which button they should press.
In the 2nd decade of the 21st century, things are different. Multiple button mooses (meese?) with a scroll wheel are good. And op-tickle.
Some people take the multiple button moose too far. Just take a keyboard, put it on rollers and use the keyboard as a moose.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.

The single button moose was originally only available in Alaskan and Canadian markets although I think I spotted one while I was on vacation in Montana in the mid '80s.
It should not be mistaken for the single button mousse which was developed by L'Oreal which I was probably wearing at the time.
