   There is no way I could keep a TV in front of my bed.

   The Internet, on the other hand…

   How long will it take her to detremine that it is only part of a much greater conspiracy intended to deprive her of her divine right to be entertained.

    That’s why you keep your old-fashioned antenna – for emergencies!

    Couple times a year (near equinoxes), we can get that, as the satellite passes close to the line to the Sun; noise overcomes the signal. It’ll be better tomorrow.

    The only scream more agonized than that of the lost-satellite-signal, is the very specific scream of the I-have-to-keep-14-small-children-entertained-but-the-tv-is-broken-and-it’s-raining-and-that’s-the-doorbell. It’s the moment of horrified realization that no matter what you come up with, your house is going to be destroyed.

    Why are my “My Comics” gone? They completely deleted my favorites. I have nothing. I wish they would stop dinking around with the site. It was fine last week. Whatever they’ve done screwed up My Comics.

    The BLIT would only really bother me if if I’m watching a football game that isn’t on in the local market.

    Ah satellite T V. Just another modern fool-proof technology to make our lives better.

    Do you hear that Fezzik? That is the sound of ultimate suffering. My heart made that sound when the six-fingered man killed my father. The Girl in Black makes it now.

    I agree with Carmy, read a book! I haven’t had TV of any kind for several years now and only miss things like Animal Planet and Discovery. Not to mention it is a great way to save money!

23. 

    Doctor Toon said, about 1 month ago

    I only watched History and Discovery (sometimes Animal Planet) for the last year had cable.
    Don’t miss them much.
    Now when the internet futzes, yeah, that’s a problem.

    Logicman said, about 1 month ago

    All you people PAY for television (cable/satellite)? There’s no logic in that!

    Do you also pay to be otherwise insulted and tortured? You PAY to be condescended to? And to top it off you get bad service for the payment too?

    Yep – no logic at all. Turn the tele off and go do something intelligent man!

    Digital Frog - excellent.

    Satellite? - never again

    Cable? - 500 channels of nothing much to watch.

    I enjoy mindless entertainment. Even blackouts amuse me.

    MatureCanadian said, about 1 month ago

    Must admit I enjoy great writing on some of the shows on TV. West Wing, Gilmore Girls, Boston Legal, to name a few. I know it’s an eclectic mix but the dialogue fascinates me. I read during commercials (which I mute).

    I agree about the site. Takes much longer to add comments.

    df - Princess Bride rocks!

    “Snake” Pliskin had it right at the end of “Escape from Los Angeles” when he destroyed the device that would have prevented the other device from knocking out all the electronic devices around the world and orbiting the world, that would have put us back two hundred years.

    We need to not rely on all the computers, satellites, relay switches, phones, cars, and such and go back to being a little more primitive.

    Of course, that would mean no more communicating thru the internet, or computers, etc. Oh well, I wish I could say I would miss you all………

    Ah yes–a solar powered, analog, quasi-digital form of information transfer technology.

    I’m with carmy on this one. Nothing on T.V. since “Trailer Park Boys” decided not to do an 8th season.

    I’ve always avoided “The Princess Bride” - maybe I’ll have to read (or watch) it after all. Does anyone recommend the movie?

33. 

    ds133 said, about 1 month ago

    I recommend both the movie and the book. They are both highly enjoyable in their respective mediums (though I saw the movie before reading the book, so those who read the book first might not agree).

34. 

    SaraCVT said, about 1 month ago

    Actually, the movie follows the book more closely than any movie I’ve yet to see, and that’s definitely a recommendation. It even in several places identically reproduces dialogue, which is good, because the dialogue in the book is hilarious. But you do miss the backstory and I think you lose on that account, so I would recommend both. I think the book first, movie second, the way I did it, is perfect. They are both incomparable specimens of their genre, and each have something to offer to the story, which is delightful.

    Maybe Lars could do something about her TV reception.

    Maybe it’s a viagra commercial.

    Yeah, maybe it is something that her parents put a block on and she just turned it on at the wrong time.
    Stuff happens, no problem.

    For Danae, when stuff happens, somebody better watch out!
