Well, I could be the whole package -- which could go a long way towards explaining why I'm not gettin' laid, hm? ;)
You see this goofy lookin' cable? Yeah... it appears to have a yellow RCA jack on one end, and a USB plug on the other... and you know why? Because that's precisely what it is. Yes, folx, what we have here is a video-to-USB cable, for some unknown (buy possibly knowable) reason.
Do you see where I'm heading with this? Yes, that's right -- I'm here, dickin' around... awake for 30 hours now, punch drunk. And I'm looking for a workaround to my slowly-but-surely dying 10+ year old Sony 27" TeeBee. Sleep deprivation in service to a commitment to wake with the sun (in order to right a wrong that I inflicted upon myself less than 48 hours ago) no later than Monday (and by Sunday's looking like a pretty good bet, at this hour) can really align your productive haidbone with some very strange lines of force, indeed. The scary thang is... I seem to think this is a good use of my Saturday.* Think of the fun I can have, posting Bart Durham commercials, and outher quaint, local, low-budget, hick-trash TV spots that most y'all don't get to see! ;) Think of the possibilities!
Why couldn't I just watch college football, like an ordinary guy with a penis the size of mine? Oh, that's right -- the TV's about to take its final dump on me, which is how we got here in the first place.
But don't cry for me, my friend, Sheena (who WAS a punk rocker, btw... but I digress... seriously: I'd be quite upset if a TV showed up here, no matter how old or idled or unwanted and unloved -- please, I beg of you -- don't even go there). I hates TV programmin', generally, and I can still get about an hour of video out of the ol' Sony, providing I leave it idle for a good long time, beforehand. Selective viewing is a good thang. And, when the video goes, most of the stuff I like to watch I can just as well follow by listening to it -- I don't need to see Tony Blankley or David Brooks to know they're both, respectively, still complete asshats (doesn't work for comedy, or more subtle drama, because of the sight gags and visual cues, but... I get ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Fox, The CW and MyNetworkTV -- how much of any of their shit-programming falls into the categories I just outlined? Not enough to inconvenience me in the slightest, I assure you). And, as always, I have two serviceable PCs (that people just up an' GAVE me!) that both play (and record) DVDs, and there are THOUSANDS of DVD titles I have never yet sought out at the Gnashvegas Public Library... more than enough video entertainment to last a lifetime, should I have future hankerin' for such. No, if anyone out there feels moved to send me something completely unnecessary, a single bottle of one of your local, hoppy ales would be inexpensive, and provide us all with entertainment, potentially, as I would photograph the bottle, and review it as a faux-snobby beer critic. ;) No, really -- don't do that, either -- but you do have to admit that scheme has far greater potential to provide quality entertainment (to me, at least), than any TV with those seven programming choices might provide.
Okay, I'm gettin' sleepy. It's 17:21 CST ("The reason for that will be made abundantly clear to you in due time." -- extra credit ID-the-quote game), and the good/bad thang is, I'll probably get up early enough to see Tweety's syndicated show... [Tweety]HAH![/Tweety] :) Good night, sweet, sweet Curlyophiles, wherever you may be. See y'all soon.

* You haven't seen all the parts I have layin' around, heah, collectin' dust. Of course, the easy thang to do would be to look for an old TV on that FreeBay giveaway/swap site, whatever it's called... but where's the fun in that? ;) That'd be like Dr. Evil letting his son just shoot Austin Powers, no? In any case, I'm not gonna tell you what I did or tried to do -- if it seems like something fun, please use the comments to speculate whether I got this workin' before I crashed for the next half-day, or not... and why. Show your work! ;)

Call 460-9111 for a ride to the polls.
I got that off one of my many Doug Henry for State Senate mailers, so you'll owe him one!
Thanks, Halfdan! You rawk!
But, I think nashvegasdawg wants to meet up, and he's offered a ride to the polls. I'll call him today to make sure we're still on, but I've put this number in my cell, as a backup plan. Thanks again!
