Snork @ Punkin, I read it too fast too. Did you see the Test instead.

Who needs football? get Jack up on that thing. Yahoo!

WOO HOO! STEELER Season is almost here!
Posted by: LucyVanPelt who has loved the Steelers since she was a little girl | July 25, 2006 at 10:47 AM
Okay, at first I thought that Dave was suggesting that I needed a pink tentacle, which I thought was pretty wierd since I already have one. I sometimes wave it at the competitors in a figure-skating event but so far have not used it at a football game.

Kee-rist! That is one gigantic screen.

hmm I dunno but, whoever gets this, is gonna need a MUCH bigger house...
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2006 at 10:53 AM
It would be cheaper to buy the front row at the stadium. Two or three stadiums, in fact, including a jet to get between them.

I'm gettin' one!!
I may have to save up for a month or so.

I'm still stunned by the name of the website. who thinks up this stuff?
Posted by: OkieDokie | July 25, 2006 at 10:56 AM
Why would I need another one?

Oh, and I may be slow sometimes, but I finally got Punkin's post. I think they make a cream for that.

obviously would have to build the house around the teevee. but what good is it if you cant find the remote?

Lucy - You know the bestest part of this new Stiller season? No more "One for the Thumb" song! (Side note: if you're a 'Burgher, you will like this.)
Um, am I the only one a little scared at the thought of Warren Sapp's fat @ss on that screen? Or, Stiller fan that I am, The Chin?
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 11:12 AM
P.S.: Dave, some of us women of the female gender also like football. We may not watch 27 hours of it per weekend, but we like it nonetheless.
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 11:13 AM

Blurkie - it's probably the lack of oxygen from your foray into the crevasse yesterday.
Your brain function should return shortly.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 25, 2006 at 11:37 AM
Well, it'll be nice to have oxygen but I doubt that it'll help my brain function. That's a problem that started...now that I think about it, right about the time that whole puberty thing hit.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 25, 2006 at 11:41 AM
Better not watch any porn on this screen, then. You may just explode.

Mud: We didn't even know you figure-skated.
Ann: "P.S.: Dave, some of us women of the female gender also like football. We may not watch 27 hours of it per weekend, but we like it nonetheless."
27 hours is just a warm-up. You don't qualify for the TV.

Lab, I was thinking the same thing. How can she say she likes football?
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 25, 2006 at 11:50 AM
Lab: You can have it. I find the wider the TV, the wider the viewer.
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 11:52 AM
blurk: I like football, not 12 hours of football and 15 hours of trashy bazoomage and the suggestion that a particular brand of beer will lead twins to commit incest with someone with the looks and smarts of Jim Belushi.
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 11:57 AM
Ann, you mean it won't? I gotta switch beers.

Ladies of the blog: I am here to tell you that Mr. 24 watches no sports - none, nada, zilch, zip! I actually see my guy on weekends! And he's not gay or hiding in the closet....

"giving it a surface area of 744 square meters (8,000+ square feet), or the equivalent of 3 tennis courts."
Nowhere NEAR big enough, but a good start. Try the size of 3 FOOTBALL fields.

You should see the size of the remote. You're gonna need bigger batteries.

24-aholic: That's good that you spend weekends together. And I definitely think that's the issue. Sports aren't per say a bad interest, but certainly the professional sporting leagues have been very successful at encouraging obsessive behavior on the part of fans. We've become our hobbies the same way we "are" our jobs. It's why we see parents getting into fistfights at little league games, and it's bad, bad, bad. Everything in moderation...
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 01:12 PM
Annie, go to the doghouse. And no drinking!!
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 25, 2006 at 01:14 PM
For a while I thought I might grow to like Annie. Now she's back at zero, or worse. consider your thigh shot.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 25, 2006 at 01:15 PM

Yes. Severely and repeatedly.

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2006 at 01:25 PM
You can zip, Annie, but you can't hide. We're gonna broadcast your photo on the giant screen. At least until football season and then...well ya gotta have priorities.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 25, 2006 at 01:42 PM
Men and their toys....geez
I guess you all agree then - bigger is better hmm?
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2006 at 01:45 PM
SNUCC - girl, where are you from? My response is a simple DUH!
Posted by: 24-aholic | July 25, 2006 at 01:47 PM
well just sayin' MEN now agree - we've known all along :)
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2006 at 01:49 PM
Susy and 24, of course bigger is better!! I mean, just think of the picture quality and the amount of detail you'll...be....able.....Hey! Wait a minute!!!
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 25, 2006 at 01:50 PM
blurkie, dear, you put me up on that screen, you're not gonna wanna put me down.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2006 at 01:52 PM
Whatsa matter, blurkie? Feeling like your pixels might not meet muster?
Posted by: 24-aholic | July 25, 2006 at 01:52 PM
24: Thanks! I think I'm usually pretty cool about stuff, but I can't take the O-V-E-R-L-O-A-D. I mean, I love seafood, but it's not the only thing I eat, y'know? It's the same thing with football. It's fun to watch, but so is hockey, or "24," or "Psych." Anything at all becomes too much at some point!
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 01:54 PM
So, Ann, my Kiefer obsession is not cool?
Posted by: 24-aholic | July 25, 2006 at 02:00 PM
I would like to point out that bigger is not always better. I guess the exception proves the rule?
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 02:01 PM
hmm yeah blurker - "picture quality" - that's exactly what I meant... ;)
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2006 at 02:01 PM
Emperor's New Clothesline - it's not so much the football, but the Annual Autumn Sit-on-yer-butt-and-drink-beer-all-day Festival...in some areas this is know as the Annual Sit & Sip, or A-S-S Fest.

Mahtma you have really made me think about this whole crisis going on right now.
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | July 25, 2006 at 02:03 PM
Depends on the "man-hours" spent obsessing. I have my own obsession, but only devote a few minutes a day to it. Similar to having a small piece of chocolate each day, but only going full-on crazy with the triple-fudge brownies when you reeeeeeeeaaaallly need them.
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 02:07 PM
TCK, where are you??!!
Annie, 24 and SNUCC got me surrounded here.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 25, 2006 at 02:11 PM
blurkie - I thought you guys liked surround-sound.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2006 at 02:12 PM
Layzee: I think most everyone is with you on that, Eagles fans or not. Don't know if you follow other Philly-area sports, but just gotta say, despite my roots I always liked this guy and was happy to see him finally get his due.
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 02:12 PM
I REALLLLLYYYY need Kiefer. Or some chocolate, whichever appears to me first.
Oh, and blurk, you've never had it so good, don't pretend otherwise!
Posted by: 24-aholic | July 25, 2006 at 02:15 PM
blurk - guys usually LOVE being surrounded by women...wazzup??
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2006 at 02:17 PM
Well, since you put it that way...never mind, TCK, I got this handled.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 25, 2006 at 02:22 PM
For 24-aholic - hopefully Kiefer can keep his pants on when he appears on this show.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2006 at 02:26 PM
Susy.....Cruz - maybe one of us is blocking his view of the tv.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2006 at 02:32 PM
Yes, or he may send Marge into a tizzy. The last thing I need to see is another image of drunk Kiefer showing off his dangly bits...it's just wrong on so many levels!!!!
Posted by: 24-aholic | July 25, 2006 at 02:35 PM
I know...that's what so great about it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2006 at 02:36 PM
Ann, I'm from Scranton so I do try to follow Philly sports, plus I went to school there.
However, our local hockey team is the Penguins affiliate and the Phillies just announced that they're not renewing their AAA contract with our local team, so Philly is losing a lot of us Pocono-ians.
Still love my Iggles, though.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | July 25, 2006 at 02:41 PM
Annie-figures huh? - god forbid he'd miss a second of his precious foolsball!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2006 at 02:42 PM
I know this is off topic, but I picked up Starcatchers on Friday night, Finished it on saturday morning. Darn you and Ridley for getting me hooked on a new series. Next year when you do the Strumpet tour for hopefully book three, could you please visit a store closer to Boston.
Great writing.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese (back in training) | July 25, 2006 at 03:03 PM
Layzee: our boys out there in WB/S always do us proud (unlike the big team lately, not that this diminishes my love for them).
I never thought Eastern and Western PA had remotely similar dialects, but apparently we all say "Iggle." Huh.
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 03:25 PM
Sure....Giant Iggle
Philadelphia Iggles
The Americaaannn Iggle
Yinz people don't know whatcha missin'!

Ah, jumbo. In Johnstown they call it "roundsteak." Miss me some Isley's...
sthn: I've found that many a yinzer appreciate Yuengling. I'm not a beer gal myself, but it sure looks better.
Sadly, my folks are forced to leave Pixburgh for Allentown shortly. If Mom gets another dog (quite likely - our boy died last fall), she will name it Yinzer in honor of our real home.
Posted by: Ann | July 25, 2006 at 05:20 PM
You Stillers and Hawks fans need to watch out for the team that beat you both like redheaded Kumquat Parade queens last year. The Jags should be fierce this year. It wouldn't matter if I could shoe-horn this TV into my backyard, though, 'cause I live in sold-out Tampa Bay [area] and they don't broadcast other games in sold-out cities. Freakin' NFL even blacks-out internet radio broadcasts of games from other cities!
