how do I convert a videophile to HUMAN?
Some people tell me I'm in love too much with TV, you see...

How's that for a copycat? And that rhymes, no drat! :P

1. Kill your TV.
A well placed sledgehammer is a good start.
You could instead torture it with a dart,
But I suspect that you have too much heart
to be so cruel to an electronic part.

:P

8. Looking at upconverting DVD players and gawking at people fondling each other in store aisles
Edited on Fri Jul-13-07 09:14 PM by HypnoToad
I have to wonder why people do that so brazenly - fondle, that is; if I started fondling DVD players the way they fondle each other, they'd probably start thinking weird things too... :D

Thx! Good to be back... you should see my front! :rofl:
