Pleasantly Demented

her thought process appears to be disorganized with the presence of flight of ideas and hallucinations

April 4, 2011

Well, it's official.  We have come out of the dark ages of television and replaced our gigantic, monstrous, old-timey TV with a flat screen HD thingamafuck.

Don't misunderstand me.  This son of a bitch is a 55-inch flat screen thingamafuck.  Oh yes, nothing but the biggest for Sarge.  At least the biggest for sale at Target.  Surround sound is currently in the hands of UPS as we speak.

You have no fucking clue how imposing that humongous black rectangle is on my wall.

We've resisted the urge to replace our perfectly good TVs so far.  Sarge would say it's because I'm cheap.  Wait, no.  My best good friend Bobby would say it's because I'm cheap.  Sarge would say it's because I'm frugal (with a wink).  I would say it's because I couldn't care less about material shit like that.  I get my rocks off on things like dollar-cost averaging and high-yield bonds. 

However, as soon as I started spouting off about American material excess and the fact that I would be perfectly happy replacing our couches with huge bean bags and stringing up Christmas lights in the living room, Sarge would say, "Well, what about the $100 worth of panties you just bought from Victoria's Secret?  They have perfectly good panties at Wal-Mart!"

And then I would say, "touche." 

But that still doesn't fix the problem of this eye-gouging black rectangle on my wall.

At least I have sexy panties, though.  

And no, I'm not showing them to you.

Sucker.

I knew there would be no panties being shown, but then again I am a smart guy.

Yvonne said...

Well there's that, the sexy panties. That trumps a stupid tv screen, thing, whatever, every time! lol

Bobina just got new Wal Mart panties. I wanted a tv.

damn it

The things is panties fall apart and if you need to you could buy panties at Wall Mart. TV's like that don't go away. They just sit there, and they take over the minds of whoever places themselves in front of them.
And you know what else? Suddenly movie stars are not perfect anymore! I swear you can see every freckle and spot and wrinkle you never knew they had. I was disgusted. I use TV for escape. it's the perfect world. No suddenly the people are not so perfect anymore. Who wants to know that Bruce Willis has freckles and spots! Or that Tom Cruise has more wrinkles than I knew.
But like yours, my hubby wanted one. It's was on his 'when I grow up' list. I would just as soon NOT have a TV. But it is as it is.

I like panties & buy them (wait for it) at wal-mart. I just don't always wear panties...

and I never wear tvs' not even the little ones.

bean bag chairs & christmas lights...maybe we should hook up & get an apartment together.

hook up...heehee

I've seen panties. Show us the TV!

Maasiyat said...

I don't wear panties and I don't own a TV. I feel like we are growing apart. Nahh moment has passed. Got any dip?

Barb said...

Well kudos on the thingamafuck.

I covet one because it would free up some more floor space. We're not crowded, but the more open space the better. But then, someone would come along and start playing "Angry Birds" or "Just Dance" on the thingamafuck or watching "Teen Mom." (That show scares the shit out of me, but then I think, those people are such fucktards it might dispel the illusion for my daughter).

I became somewhat exasperated with the affair my husband is having with the PS3 and Call of Duty. He had the gall to ask me how I would feel if someone wanted me to limit how many books I read. NOOOOOOO! So yes, I had to retreat,as I likely spend more time reading than he does playing.

Neither of us spend much money but I guess time is our currency.

Wonder how much scarier "Hoarders" would be on HD flat screen??

Rafa said...

Why u gotta be teasing like that yo? shit aint right.

BTW Jealous of huge monster TV. I still have old school fat TV. My TV needs to go on diet.

No more Man-VS-Food

Trouble with said Wal Mart panties is they they were sown by eight year old Taiwanese little girls fed on 2 pieces of rice a day and not allowed potty breaks.

Victoria is, I'm fairly certain, in support of fair labour practices.

So really you're just doing the world some good, kitten.

Touche back atcha.

Sapphire Dragonflies said...

HA! @ Barreness! I'm soo gonna take that touche and run straight to my husband with it!

Aimee -- if hubby had his way we'd have the big thingamafuck tv too. I rarely watch TV so it makes no difference to me. We bought the medium sized thingamafuck and then I took the money we saved and went to trade secrets with Victoria. :) Technically, he won on both fronts, don't you think?

I just made the switch myself to a flat screen, and...it's everything you said and lacks depth. More technology isn't always best. I would prefer the bean bag chairs and christmas lights. I was happier in those days. (Hugs)Indigo

Aimee said...

Why is it when you tell someone you don't see a difference between HD and non-HD, they practically slam your head into the fucking screen and say, "are you fucking BLIND?" I think it's because it justifies the money they spent on the fucker. At least, that's my story.

@ Anonymous: Look here, bitch. Don't piss me off or I'll out you in a heartbeat. I know where you live. Fucker.

my motto: in times of sacrifice (or when choosing priorities), never ever give up sexy, feel-good undergarments or the cleaning lady.
