    OK. Because if you want to make it in NYC with 50 bucks, first thing you need to do is rob a dealer and ice his azz, GTA4 style.

    From the N&A preview I saw, it looked like a flabby ass was a prerequisite, but then I never saw more than the one commercial for it.

    The internet has reintroduced me to tv. I now subscribe to 2 services, and have my credit card on file for a third one that has more shows than I can imagine, for a fee. I still spend about 1/4 of what a good cable, or satellite plan would charge. There are thousands of programs to choose from. I do remember when I was a kid there were 3 channels, and it seems more was on.

    That's because the average loaded cable or sat package includes 60 channels of QVC types plus all the channels that change over to infomercials at night. You can get alacarte with some providers but they'll deny that it's available until you argue with them for 45 minutes. We have that option but but if you ask for it they'll say that is only offered in certain markets or they don't do it anymore of they never did etc.

    Same here, and I had to walk through that snow barefoot, uphill both ways.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Yeah, but I had to do all that in front of an FCC examiner.
