  1. Authentic Andre Reed #83 that the inlaws bought me for Xmas.
  2. Sorry to hear that, mead!!
  3. Niagara Falls. It's one of the wonders of the world. Duff's for wings.
  4. Brett Favre taking a page out of Bufflao's book - checkdown.
  5. The Bills are starting them for the marketing potential. Just imagine this commercial: Wood is in his home, wearing a Bills jersey (money for the team!). He's having dinner with a lovely woman. After they finish eating, she seductively motions for him to follow her up the stairs to the bedroom. On the way up the stiars, Wood trips and falls to the base of the stairs. The woman looks on in horror! Then Levitre (also in his Bills jersey!) walks up to Wood, offers his hand, and pulls him up. Wood thanks him, and goes up the stairs to embrace the woman. Fade to black. The voiceover guy says, "If Wood can't get up, Levitre will help."
  6. John Adams said that he couldn't get rid of his landline until someone he knows gets out of prison, since the prisons don't allow collect calls to cell phones: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...t&p=1547015 So I did a search to see if I could find out why that was so. Found "Prisontalk.com," and was like, "Hmmm, interesting." Then started digging in a bit more and found that thread.
  7. Ok, maybe this is a little tasteless -- but I thought this thread was very amusing: http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139051 Some of the posts and pictures are priceless.
  8. Not far fetched at all (although I've read that current cables may actually work... But who knows?) http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/09/11/panas...s-on/#continued
  9. Actually, the talk about MRV (Multi-Room-Viewing) is that you'll be able to do it over the existing coax. Or at least, that's what was being talked about a couple of years ago. Not sure if that's still true. That said, you can never have too much copper in your house! At a minimum, I'd install 4 runs of RG6 (coax) and 4 runs of cat5 to each location you might expect to have a television at. You don't have to use it all right away, but it's nice to have, just in case. I'd then run 2 RG6 and 2 cat5 (minimum) to other locations in the house - office, behind the sofa, etc. Cable's cheap, and when the walls are down it's easy to run them - so why not? No matter how much you run, you'll always wish you had run more.... I'd also highly recommend installing conduit to a few key locations, so that you can string new cables in the future in case some get damaged, a fancy new technology is released, etc. Even PVC piping is fine. Just make sure you put a string in there, so you can tie it to the new cable and pull it through in the future. It's a lifesaver. I wish I had done that in my theater, but I thought, "Eh, I have enough cables here, I won't need more." Then my HDMI cable broke.

  11. That's what I was initially posting about. A CRT (4:3) diag is "taller" than an LCD (16:9). It's not "playing games;" it's in essence just comparing the diagnal of a square to a rectangle. So like I said, a 32" CRT (4:3) is only 4" shorter than a 42" LCD (16:9). Go to the site I linked in a previous post, and type 32" inch for both a 4:3 compared to a 16:9 and you'll see what I mean: Diagonal screen measurement (4:3):32.00 inches Screen Width:25.60 inches Screen Height:19.20 inches Diagonal screen measurement (16:9):32.00 inches Screen Width:27.89 inches Screen Height:15.69 inches
  12. Well part of that is because the CRTs are 4:3, whereas the LCD/Plasma screens are 16:9. So, for example, a 32" CRT TV is about the same height as a 42" LCD/Plasma TV - you're gaining width. http://tv09.org/ Comparing a 27" CRT to a 42" widescreen TV, the latter is only 4" taller.

  14. Then like I said, you obviously haven't heard much music.
  15. There's a huge difference between "Nickelback sucks" and "Nickelback is the worst band I've ever heard. That is not hyperbole." The former is understandable. The latter implies that you don't listen to music, because there are FAR worse bands out there.
  16. You, sir, must not listen to much music.
  17. No need. They're all talk on a message board, but we wouldn't be so lucky to thin the heard.
  18. Great post. And that was before I even knew JW was run off of the board. That really sucks
  19. Some people are pretty good with Photoshop: http://www.worth1000.com/contest.asp?conte...ge=5000#entries
  20. Marketing folks should take note -- simple, cheap, and very effective promotional material: http://www.viddler.com/explore/Joystiq/videos/1907/0.867
  21. Jackson was hurt in PRACTICE. What does the number of possessions have to do with anything?
  22. You do realize that Schobel didn't actually play most of last year due to an injury, right? And you do realize that he was averaging 4 tackles a game before he got hurt, right? And you do realize we were undefeated until he got hurt, right? If Schobel comes back and plays like he used to, our line will be MUCH improved over last season.
