I don't want to give anyone the impression that I'm anti-DVD. I'm just getting more selective in my purchases. My DVD Profiler listing shows 1051 titles including all of the Star Trek season sets, Six Feet Under, Sex in the City, Band of Brothers, Red Dwarf, Babylon 5, CSI, and Sports Night...
Since this has gotten around to TiVo's I'll chip in with what I know about them. I'll discuss the DirecTivo since that is what I have and am familiar with. Cost of installation: $0 I've seen three room packages with one TiVo and installation advertised for free. Additional TiVo's are $99...
I started watching Northern Exposure a few weeks ago and got sucked into it. Great show, I don't know why I missed it when it first came out. I like it enough to buy the DVDs but it's on 4 or 5 nights a week so I don't feel the need to go out and get it right now. Plus they just ran the pilot...
My wife's parents gave their daughters only a first and last name so that when they got married they could keep their family name as a middle name and add on their husband's name for a last name, with no hyphen.
If your only exposure to beer is the likes of Coors, Budweiser, Miller or even some of the lesser mass-produced brews, then I can understand why you would not like beer. I don't particularly care for them myself. According to Michael Jackson (the beer hunter, not the perv), there are...
I hate it when that happens! I'll pass over what I think is a marginal film and then when I get home I'll just happen to read a comment on it that will heighten my interest. Of course it's gone - it's always gone when I go back. The only DVDs I don't see at pawn shops are concert DVDs. For...
http://www.mesalek.com/colo/icnames.html The Mousetrap I feel this is one of the most unique interchange names in the US. Everyone in the metro calls it this, from drivers to the media to CDOT. The "Mousetrap" name dates from the late 1960s when airborne traffic reporter Don Martin observed...
That tarantula story has been going around the internet in one form or another for as long as I can remember. The most popular variation has a lady poaching a cactus in Arizona and taking it home and putting it in her living room. She notices the cactus is moving slightly and... well, you know...
It's an old one but... Ralph was driving home one evening when he suddenly realizes that it's his daughter's birthday and he hasn't bought her a present. He drives to the mail, runs to the toy store and says to the shop assistant, "How much is that Barbie in the window?" In a...
I don't remember my first purchase. The day my HDTV and DVD player were delivered I went over to Blockbuster and got in on the 30 DVDs in 30 days deal. I remember the first DVD I watched on it though - Gladiator.
I was carded and then told that I was too old to buy "Who Fingered Freddy." :b I lied and told them it was for my grandson so they went ahead and let me purchase it. Ok, so I made that up. lol Actually, I think the last time I was carded for a movie was at a theater when I was buying myself a...
Well, since I've been afflicted with Home Theater Forum Syndrome, otherwise known as Terminal Upgraditis, I'd have to say...
