Finally broke down and bought a TV. - GoFuckYourself.com

blackmonsters · 05-24-2011, 04:03 PM

Went to get some blank CDs and, while picking my ass, saw one of those flat screen
gizmos for $250. It was made by #@#%&&, yeah that's how good I knew the name.

I picked one up and while heading to the door I saw a big guy standing there and
decided that it would probably be better to go ahead and just pay for it.

Got home and threw out my trusty 15 year old 25 inch and plugged the new one
in after breaking a mad sweat looking for the AC cord connection and playing
wanga-wang with those fucked up mounting screws for the base.

Turned it on and answered a few questions and after a while the picture
came up.

Damn! This 32 inch cheap shit looks good.

I might actually watch this TV.

Shit, at least once a week.

Quit being hardcore and go ahead and buy one of these things.

No way, fuck that.

Seriously, I still use the hand crank.

But then again, I actually know how to cook and only use it for tuna fish.

Man, 60 inches sound too big for a TV!

I'm just not used to hearing these numbers.

That 32 inch looks big as hell to me.

I guess you got one of those ones hanging in the back of the store real high up.
I went back there for a second.
I saw $1700 on something and went right on by that shit.

I'm not paying $1700 for a TV. Ain't nothing but coke heads winning and steroid users
on that MoFo!

when you say wanga wang, does that refer to some loose or floppy 'point of reference', point of reference usually being clothing or body parts?

lol

seeandsee · 05-24-2011, 05:01 PM

i made chicken and pottato today, with sliced onion and mustard on top, factor of care for what i did? :D

I just needed a phrase for these wacky screws with the mount hook attached and
how I kept dropping them and twisting the mounts trying to get them in.

Old school fingers.....they're only good for flipping the bird, man.

Unless you got that recipe off a flat screen TV, WTF does that have to do with this
thread?

Did you bake the chicken with the potatoes or.....?

Yeah, thanks for the details.

Also, I bet you can't cook.
How many females have you dated that have suffered internal injuries from your meals?

Mustard on top....who the hell eats that?

L-Pink · 05-24-2011, 05:27 PM

OK, so you got one inch per hours a year that you watch it.

You watch one show per week time 52 weeks = 52 hours.
Then add in the times that you look at it when walking by en route to doing
something else.

WHY????

OK, wait!!!

I just thought for a second.

If you are watching sports then never mind.

Back tracking here.

Yeah, if you are watching sports then that's some hours.

I'm watching the games at the bars, so yeah, wasn't counting those hours.

I watch blueray films and tv series... some cable documentaries. believe me it's well worth it... and don't forget as a video shooter and editor a large monitor is part of my editing system

and I have the screen in a back room that I only go into, to watch shows

That does sound kind of good when I think about it.

I'm looking at a painting on my wall that is 48x36(width x height), so
I have to think of it as putting the TV on the wall.

I put this TV on a regular TV stand.

I guess TV stands are some old shit too and that's going to go away.

Yeah, a 65 inch TV is just stupid on a stand.

Makes more since on the wall, duhhhhhhh!

Didn't think about that at first.

V_RocKs · 05-24-2011, 07:40 PM

My LCD broke some time last year.... So I got the Verizon protection plan... They came out and fixed it a couple of months ago. But it didn't actually fix it, whatever they did... So it took many weeks to finally get the fucker fixed. Several times in the shop.

Now I am a happy camper.

Football better fucking happen this year!

I got this. Samsung 46" 6500 Series 1080p LED HDTV
http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN46C6500VFXZA

But I paid a lot less than the price listed on their site. It has apps on it, I have Hulu Plus, Netflix, Blockbuster OnDemand, Pandora, and a bunch of other services.

And it's 1" thin. The 46" is the perfect size for my living room setup.

lcd tv and a networked media centre PC for me, though I end up just sitting here most often and playing something in a window on my second monitor

Well next time buy cheap shit like me so that it's not worth fixing and just throw it
out.

If this TV breaks then I will fix it by taking it outside and slamming it on the sidewalk.

Ok, I'll admit it.

I did have a velvet Elvis; but not any more.

I traded it for a transmission to a '73 Trans Am.

You just wait until I get the rest of the parts buddy!
Then we'll see who the wise one is.

Ahhh shut up Richie Rich, before I slip a candy bar into the fuel tank of your
learjet.

Lets see how good your HDTV looks when your engine is sputtering at 20,000 feet.

blackmonsters · 05-24-2011, 09:36 PM

Ok, I guess I'm fully drunk now.

Whew!

If I took a breathalyzer now, fire works would go off.

Too drunk to watch TV.
