Of what?? The candle lit dinner?
I heard a line from my co-singer in the band. She's a teacher and when asked what she did when people really pissed her off replyed, I try to mentally step back and remember that we are all in our own home movie....then I try to watch theirs. Well, I guess that can be seen as trite or whatever but I liked it. |

Reading your posts is like watching a no-legged monkey fuck a football.
Btw, if marc was "defending" you, why was I the target and not Lorne? After all, it was Lorne's joke; I was just laughing. Literally. My actual post in response was "Bwah-hah-hah-hah!" |

I was a Nielsen (well, probably the other polling place, whose name I'm blanking on) for a week. Unfortunately for them, not only do I not watch tv, I never bothered getting cable after 9/11 (when I lost what reception I had). They got a lot of blanks on my form. |

| Do they pay for your cable? |

No, it was just a form (which is why I think it was the other people whose name I'm blanking on).
Nope, they don't pay for cable. (The landland's "nice" period included washer/dryers, but no cable. The period's over, so the washer/dryers don't work anymore.) |

They don't pay for cable, but they replaced a VCR of mine that broke and they send you $50 every time you get a new piece of equipment they can read, plus $100 a year just for doing it.
I'm not in it for the money, though. I was against the invasion of privacy, but I thought that this was my chance to keep the programs on the air that I like instead of complaining that my liking a show is the kiss of death. |

I recently had to move, and I was paying two cable bills (don't ask). When I cancelled one of the accounts due to the move, Time Warner billed me $250 bucks until I returned their whack-ass equipment.
Once I returned it, they informed me they would send me my check for $150 dollars in the mail promptly.
I didn't know what the fuck they were talking about, but I was like, "Okay. Send me my check promptly." |

This story is supposed to be funny because once I returned the equipment they voided the $250 charge. As far as I knew, my account balance was zero (who overpays the cable company?), so I don't know what the $150 was for.
I was hardly a good customer; I'd constantly call them up and bitch when I couldn't access reruns of Entourage and Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO in Demand and write them nasty emails about their shitty movie selection - why the fuck is I, Robot available for 5 goddamn months but a motherfucker can't get no Good Bye Lenin or Crash? No wonder I'm so stupid.
Maybe the $150 was a whoop-ass tax.[/code] |

I'd be in it for the money. That sounds like decent money. |

| My family did the form-fill-out one back in the late 80's. It was tedious. I'd never want to do it again. |

She was certainly the best thing happening in The Aristocrats.
No, Bob Saget (and Gilbert Gottfreid) was the best thing in that film
(and Billy Connolly the worst thing - how many times can he say "oh that effin joke...") |

Word. Where do I sign up?
Of course, since I watch nothing but The OC, I doubt I would be doing any good for anybody. |
