Hey - what about those lenses - your buddy got any of those?

Lense? Waht lense? My TV doesn't need a lens.

What I'll need is a digital converter box eventually.

Now I *know you're lying - *you liar liar pants on fire.

There is no way in hell those mechanical tuners, in particular on that
Zenith, would have held up all those years.

NO FREAKIN' WAY.

Actually. I DO have an old Emerson "Home entertainment center." with a
color 20" at dad's that DOES still work well. the pots on the BSR
turntable are a bit scratchy, but it still plays 45's, 33's and 78's
pretty good. It's not one of the belt drives. it has a rubber roller
that runs on the inside of the platter. I did ahve to clean out some
mud dobber nests and lube it with some light oil, but it took off jsut
fine.

I haven't investigated the 8-track player yet.

Many folks think Andy is dead but he's still broadcasting so I'm
guessing he's still with us.

Channeling is indeed acting as a spritual channel for the dead but, in
humor, you can use it to channel the living.

If that's the case, try DK....an example of the 'undead' if I ever heard of
one.

have you seen Andy do his monologue recently?

I think he qualifies as passed on.

The miracle of video editing. He's been dead for years, they just
keep cutting and remixing his old stuff to make it new. :)

Yep and Shirley MacLaine was once Charlemagne’s mistress, an orphan
brought up by elephants, Nefertiti’s handmaiden and a model for
Toulouse-Lautrec among other things.

I was Hannibal and Attila the Hun. :)

Not sure. But if sounds like Dirty Harry would say it, probably
something to it.

Most people don't expect a prick like you to be following them around

What the **** is so wrong with your life that you'd do this?

Did your father beat you?

You are new here, right? Your asshole buddy WAFA is the KING of
trashing people based on **** they posted years ago.

Dumb Donnie, on the other hand, is so dumb that he posts **** like this

The fact that you live and die by the posts in this group is obvious and

your mindless bull****?

Probably did for very good reason.
Trouble is, he wasn't successful.



STFU, dummy. Don't you have a shopping list from your adult children to
attend to?

Very nice. You're a good son for your dad.
Last Christmas one of my sons bought me this flat widescreen I'm
using. So I've got a perfectly good 21" CRT sitting on the table
behind me.
Alongside the brand new 19" CRT I had picked up on sale as a spare.
Total waste of his money. Devalues my spare too.
He should have given me the cash or kept it for himself.
Either one of us could have put it to better use at Cabelas.
I'm using it just so I don't hurt his feelings.
Sort of hoping it burns out so I can put the CRT back.
I kept paperwork stacked up on the CRT - bills to pay and the like.
Had room for 4 stacks, by priority.
You can't put anything on the flat screen, so now everything is all
messed up. Could lead to bankruptcy.
Got an automotive GPS unit still sitting in it's box for a birthday
gift in January. I kinda doubt I'll ever use it.
It has buttons to push and a screen to look at. And it talks at you.
Quite a distraction when driving a car, don't you think?
Probably harder to turn off then telling the wife to shut up.
Tried to sell it back to the wife and kids, but they don't want it.
Seems everybody already knows how to get where they're going.
Went to a daughter's graduation at U of I in Champagne yesterday.
I asked everybody if we should take the GPS in that box over there.
Anybody want to operate it?
They said, "You know how to get there?"
I said, yep, Lila e-mailed me directions. Exit I57 at 345A, right
on Lincoln to Green, right on Green to 6th, left on 6th to Armory,
enter parking lot E3.
That's what we did. I admit I had that on a piece of paper.
Won't remember tomorrow.
Tom mentioned color TV. I didn't get my first one until 1982.
Somebody gave it to me, because the color didn't work.
It just showed B&W, and the tuner was touchy.
I took it to a local shop - hard to believe you used to be able to
get stuff fixed - and the guy had it ready for me the next day.
Tuner fixed and he replaced the "color chip" for 40 bucks.
Very nice, had it for years.
Never went back to B&W. Got modern.
But there's modern, and then there's "bleeding edge."
A man's got to know the difference.
