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.

    I always liked this one:

    Are you sure you want Windows to shut down?

    I would change the word down to up.
