I hope the shrimp was better than the crap. :-

ROTF!!!!!!!! Good call and funny!

My bad...........I meant to say CRAB.

Regardless.........it was funny! Thanks for the heads up. ;-)

If you knew what crabs ate... :-)


We ate Alaskan king crab claws/legs. Perhaps better than the
crab from your area but realizing they are all bottom feeders.


I like softshell crabs from this area, because you can eat the
whole thing. Never been into the spicy crab banging business of
crab eating so popular around here...lots of work for a little bit
of crab meat. I prefer the Alaskan claws and legs, too.

A crab picking is a social event as much as it is an eating event.
If you had friends you would know that.




Perhaps if I had my prefrontal lobes drilled, I could hang out with
a bunch of swell guys like you and pick.

Us prefrontal lobe drilled guys would most likely reject your
overtures for inclusion in our group. You wouldn't be up to our
standards.



Yeah, I probably still wouldn't be a Drooler like you.


It gives you something to work towards.



Yawn. I'm sure Reggie and the Retardos will be along sometime today for
you to play with...bye-bye on this.

I don't believe you can pass HD over S-video cables. You need composite
video or HDMI cables. And even if the program you are watching Says it's
broadcast in HD, Time Warner might not be sending you HD. To be sure you
are getting "all HDTV can be" watch the OTA broadcast for free.

Someone else said the same thing but I can see a difference between nonHD
and HD channels.

If you're watching over S-Video you can not be watching in HD.

JimH, is there a reason you must tell us for at least the third time that
you're giving your 16 year-old TV to your daughter?

We all believe you are a most generous person!

How many times did you tell us you were giving your old boat to 'the kids'?
Did you ever actually do that?

Actually, he lied about that. He only *loaned* them his old boat, and
then he took it back to use as a trade-in for his new boat.

I understand that but the picture is still damn good and better than with
the composite cables. I will keep playing around to see if I can get the
HDMI to work.




No expert on this here, but my memory of hooking up an HD TV was that
there were five cables going from the cable box to the TV, and the HDMI
cable went from the DVD player to the TV.

How many times did he tell us about the race for the cure and squeeze us for
money?

Herring gets his jollies here by putting folks down. The old man needs to
get a life.



I thought Herring was moving to the Carolinas? Shouldn't he be watching
his wife pack?

My day was great. I spent some bucks on fishing gear, and my wife bought
me some new "resort" clothes for my trip next week.
I spent the afternoon with Mrs. H shopping for a stand for our new HDTV as
we will be giving our old 36" RCA (1994 vintage) cathode ray and stand to
our daughter since receiving our new 46" Sony HDTV.

The payoff was a great shrimp and crap dinner followed by a movie on the new
TV.

BTW: Time Warner sucks big time as it does not appear to recognize HDMI.
Although the S-Video input works on our box/set the HDMI input does not,
despite swapping out TW HD boxes, HDMI cables and trying various settings on
the new Sony.

I can't figure out what else he would have done with the TV, a 12 yr old
non digital, standard format TV has no value.

My math sucks!

Actually, if one has cable the company will rent a box that will enable the
use of an analog TV when we go all digital next year. So, that TV will
still be have significant value.

Maybe about $4.37.

I think you are confusing audio video cables with composite video cables.
