What did you think of it?

I'm actually considering partially dismantling my RPTV because I'm sure that it's accumulated dust on the inside by this point.
I'll put it on my list Wink

I know it's scary but he had to have a heck if a reason to quit. Hopefully he'll find something better ASAP and we know you are the best at stretching $$$ at the grocery and elsewhere. hug

It's a Paul Verhoeven movie, so it's a bit graphic. I actually saw it when it was in theaters Whee

It's the Vizio E502AR [amazon.com], and I like this HDTV, a lot. I didn't see any problem with the picture, but the wife doesn't understand how the automatic brightness/contrast compensation works, so I turned it off for her benefit.

I helped a co-worker repair his rear-projection set last summer, and there was surprisingly little dust inside his set. True story.

Fair enough.

Maybe I'll use that to justify not doing it laugh out loud

Would you date someone else if they asked? Just curious. I always say a person is fair game until they have the talk, but it's not the coolest after you start sleeping together on a regular basis.

I've always said that once you kiss someone then you're exclusive. It's just a personal preference, and I don't mind other opinions on it.

Roll I don't go out and fire because I don't want to wake the kids or waste the ammo, but there is a hail of gunfire at midnight on New Year's Eve around here. It's rather funny.

I did, however, fire off a clip from my Glock when the election was called for Obama back in 2008. It wasn't celebratory; it was to freak out my neighbors. At that time I lived in a historic neighborhood with 500 homes all on 0.18 acres each. They thought the black folks from literally "the other side of the tracks" were raiding the neighborhood. The usual gunfire had never come from inside of the neighborhood before. Now THAT was hysterical. My phone was ringing off of the hook because I was the president of the neighborhood watch at the time.

Looks like we're technically going over the fiscal "cliff". What a bunch of jackasses. Mad

I imagine there are going to be a lot of layoffs. And I'm going to get his by the alternative minimum tax this year thanks to those farkers. That is, of course, unless I now get laid off myself.

Well, he's a government employee. The thing is that his job is reasonably important, and he's one of the more capable people working at that facility (I know a lot of them from when I was there in my AF days).
