(In a sing song voice, repeat after me) We got a new TV, We got a new TV. It's a 50" Samsung DLP, anything else and you will have to ask Dastard. It is hooked up and the 360 looks wooonderrrful!!!! I've been waiting all weekend. Saturday we moved furniture around to accommodate the beast and the games got disconnected. HH (Dastard) did say he could reconnect the 360 easily, but I figured it was a good excuse to actually get some studying done since the first round of tests begin in the next two weeks. But, I am planning on being online this weekend while he is gone!!

Manners:  the way a person behaves toward other people
Chivalry: a courteous manner.

Two definitions of seemingly different words yet, both really mean the same thing.  So, why bring this up on a Monday morning?  Because it seems that chivalry and manners have died in our society.  I take that back, chivalry and manners are dying a slow and painful death.  I still see signs of manners from strangers I meet but over all, they are missing.  Granted, I live in a college town and the majority of people I come across are under the age of 40.

Just for a change of pace, I decided to add another picture from the Jim Warren collection.  Now, who can't admit to feeling like this picture at times?  The woman not withstanding.  Every now and again, the tiger feels the need to come out.  This usually occurs when I run across those out in public who cannot take responsibility for their actions.  Since when did it become the responsibility of the government to take care of people?  Why do some feel as if they are "owed" a job, the privilege to drive, that their destination is more important than mine?  Yes, this is the beginning of a rant a

One topic that hadn't been discussed is the infamous "Walking Farts."  Those embarrassing, yet, persistent squeaks that you can't seem to control as you take a number of steps.  This situation can cause further embarrassment if the perpatrator is wearing tight-fitting pants.  I believe Larry the Cable Guy painted a much more picturesque image when he described a relative of his at the local flea market.  The individual was wearing spandex pants and with each step seemed to produce pockets of air that could not escape and looked like gerbils traveling down the legs until there was sooo much tra

Hastings has a rule that new rental accounts can only have two game rentals out at a time. Fine, so I rented COD3 and Zelda for the Wii to see what I liked and might buy. They were due back on Thursday.
