This is new how? :)

My friend, "Seth", was taking an asthma drug that the FDA now says causes heart attacks, etc. "Seth" had a heart attack while taking said drug. Legal experts in the box, would "Seth" be better off finding a friend to help "him" along on his legal journey vs. a class action lawsuit? Last I heard, "Seth" is not sue happy, but a bit pi&&ed off that said drug wasn't vetted enough and caused what was probably a very premature heart attack.

Yes, the boxes Comcast sends are complete garbage. Good luck... :rolleyes:

I think The Box should petition CO to rename Alex to Rolle Yes, Pandy Retersen or Claudio.

I see YouTube isn't likeing me. I uploaded my vide:rolleyes: of London's St. Patrick's day parade and the screen shots it gives me for the video are of the PW County police car. How un-Irish and un-London could that be?:rolleyes:

Video here

Night Box.

Actually the Flyer_70 residence met the poop quota far earlier as it's a 4 dog night.. all seeming to make efficient use of a nicely cleaned back yard.

Share a round of drinks! Send a hug! Give a smile! Take a quiz! Become a fan of crab people! Most of this crap isn't even possible, much less a passing excuse for social interaction. Never in all my life have I been more thankful for the, "block this application" feature than I am with Facebook.

.... but it is still sheer crap.

In a clean package.

:) Facebook is great for reintroducing you to people you never wanted to see again (for the most part!).

Yes, but she shouldn't have to ask his. We've been talking about this for at least a month. I'm ready to book tix and hotel and she's :rolleyes:

Does she work? Does she travel much? No doubt you know the drill but some people need more of a kick in the butt than others. :D Heck even I had to decline a vacation to Costa Rica with a gf as I had no vacation left at work.. (sob!!)..

Fantastic series. From The Earth To The Moon, Band of Brothers, and Curb Your Enthusiasm make HBO worth it in my book.

I'm sure it is crap -- but I figured it was free and I could at least see what my options are with it. The fabulous Mrs. Xyzzy wants to be able to see CNN and apparently we'll need some kind of box to see anything other than the local broadcast channels past July 28. What irks me most is that we have a lovely TV mounted on the wall with absolutely no visible wires anywhere and a DVD player on a shelf nearby. Where am I supposed to put the dumb box? The TV already has a digital tuner and picks up lots of digital channels. Why can't they just broadcast the digital channels in the clear? I know the answer -- they want to be able to sell me pay per view movies and other garbage. Blech!

If it were up to me I'd just turn off the extra channels we currently pay for. Actually, I'd probably just turn the cable TV altogether.

I almost hate to say it but the news of the passing of Walter Cronkite finally pushed the MJ garbage to a 15 second "also mentioned" towards the end of the half hour. How refreshing not to have to hear all the crap regurgitated ad nauseum.

Or just program it to reply to unknown or complex questions with "Is Not Possible!"

I had not slept in 2 days before my last post....I was going to take a 1.5 hour nap and go to Bourbon Steak....I missed that one by a mile! It is after 2am now when I woke, sleeping right thru that alarm.

Oh I could, but I don't want to eat it now :)

They do room service from 3 of the restaurant menu's 24x7 :)
It is just more the fact that I'd prefer a sit down 3 course dinner than room service, I will go tomorrow night :)
