How can you watch tellevision????
I have no stomach to watch it...

Am sick to my stomach!


I can't watch it!


I will not watch it....


I care not watch it.....


I will not watch it....


I hate watching death on innocent!

=============

Death! By Harold Pinter

"I have referred to death quite a few times this evening. I shall now quote a poem of my own called 'Death'."

Where was the dead body found?
Who found the dead body?
Was the dead body dead when found?
How was the dead body found?

Who was the dead body?

Who was the father or daughter or brother
Or uncle or sister or mother or son
Of the dead and abandoned body?

Was the body dead when abandoned?
Was the body abandoned?
By whom had it been abandoned?

Was the dead body naked or dressed for a journey?

What made you declare the dead body dead?
Did you declare the dead body dead?
How well did you know the dead body?
How did you know the dead body was dead?

Did you wash the dead body
Did you close both its eyes
Did you bury the body
Did you leave it abandoned
Did you kiss the dead body

3. Very easily
I love the SciFi, Discovery, Science, Animal Planet, History.

I don't watch dead bodies, except maybe fossils or mummies........

I have to wonder what it is you were tuning in to.

TV is not for everyone, but it sure makes the evenings more interesting for me !

17. I can't stand horror movies.
I'm more of a historical or documentary type of watcher.

4. Normally, I watch it
sitting in a recliner. Sometimes, though, I watch it in bed.

I can watch it by pushing the button on the television set, or I can do it with one of my remote controls.

In the mornings, I can even watch children's programming, where I can learn to spellevision tellevision.

8. with a 60-inch 1080p plasma, it's pretty godamn easy.
Edited on Tue Dec-30-08 02:07 PM by QuestionAll
add the yahama rx-z1 reciever and combination of ohm and b&w speakers with svs and snell subwoofers to form a homemade "surround system", and the viewing experience is muy fantastico.
smoke some bongs, and it gets even better.

54. not always.
when you're disabled, and can't do many of the things that other people can, television is information and entertainment both.

9. I can watch it
in a chair.
I can watch it anywhere.

I could watch it all my life.
I can watch it with my wife.

I can watch it for the news.
I can watch it 'til I snooze.

I can watch it if I please.
I can watch it while I sneeze.

I can watch it when I'm ill.
I can watch it for a thrill.

I can watch my TV set,
As long as I don't get it wet.

11. It helps to have a bit of judgement about what you watch.
That way one isn't as likely to become so freaked out.

38. Yeah
I looked up the imdb entry on the film and learned that Sharon Tate had a body double for the trampoline scene. She also produced the movie.

Every time I've seen TV lately I end up ashamed and disgusted and kind of scared.

Using the tube for movies is great though :headbang: lots of them are Art.
