Why don't you go create your own little kingdom for us all to worship and adore?

That post was completely insulting.

Ask Radar about his Constitution.

Not really. Frankly, if you had lived a few thousand years earlier, you would probably have said something like "Nice rocks Moses, but the golden calf is easier to polish and my neighbors wife is pretty damn hot.'

..nah.. no way. Claudette is a live and let live person. I don't think she would be obsessed with converting others to her beliefs.

Except that UG does have really good posts about food. That's the only place I've seen him rational, well-informed and interesting.

But you forgot "tasty."

No one told me I was supposed to be seeking virtue.

Now I have to rethink everything. [/whiny voice]

High time they did. Virtue; it does a body good.

I can't help but agree with that one.

I do not believe that a real human being could consistently self-parody the way UG has on a primary account, even anonymously.

There's a part of me will always be convinced he's a guy I knew on another forum who liked playing the right wing neocon to the max.

Now he (see thread title) is going to postpone the digital tv conversion..... Why he's already performing miracles at 1600. Do they start the annoying ass 'days till' countdowns on the local stations back to new deadline?
I think if you are not prepared by now, you're too lazy or stoopit to be ready on any date. Whatever happened to "special ed"? Cheese & Rice!

Frankly, I wish they wouldn't do it until they've perfected digital. We have cable, 3 TVs have cable from the wall, and one has a digital box. I can't tell you how often the damn box pixalates (sp?) and the picture gets all screwed up and the sound goes out when it happens. It's very annoying, especially since it costs more. You miss important things being said. I've already had the box replaced more than once. They all do it. Comcast SUCKS. Analog actually works better.

What I really wish they would do is make cable truly competetive. It isn't really now. there can be more than one cable company, but they each have their own territories, they don't directly compete with one another. If this was opened up, they way it should be, the way it was meant to be, I think service would go up and prices would go down.

I also wish you could just pick the channels you want and pay for them, instead of having to pay for 150 channels (or now, 900, with digital. who can watch 900 channels?), when you only watch 12 of them.

I'm thinking of just having high speed internet, and watching everything I want to see on TV over the internet, connected to the TV. Only problem with that is when people are watching different things in different rooms. *sigh*

It's not because people are too stupid to know what's going on, it's because there's a huge waiting list for the converter box coupons and the fund has run out of money. They weren't expecting so many people to consider $40 to be worth the nuisance value.

Shawnee123 · 01-27-2009, 08:54 PM

I don't know. I got my converter box coupons after waiting until early December to do so. That was after about 10 months of constant commercials, infomercials, and little marquees running down the bottom of the screen explaining to people they might want to pay attention.

Now there are people on the news pissed off 'cause no one told them but especially if they're actually antenna viewers like I was you couldn't get away from the ads. Doesn't government housing include basic cable? Around here it sure does.

Lady on the news was bitching that they wouldn't just bring her converter boxes to her house, like they do the phone book.

Geez...maybe they don't need to watch spongebob that badly.
