Well, I have a 65″ widescreen HDTV and I was going to invite all of you over for the game but I guess I can’t do it now. Seems the NFL doesn’t want folks having SuperBowl watch parties where the TV screens are larger than 55 inches, unless, of course, you happen to have a sports bar.

Party at Vivian’s! 🙂
And, yes, MB needs a good, swift whack!
The copyright law (as lobbied for and “changed” for corporate interests) should show everyone WHY corporations need to be regulated (IF you didn’t know that already….)
We need a NEW copyright law that us consumer friendly….instead of corporate friendly and one that will let us once again view great documentaries like Eyes on the Prize that used to be legal (like big tv screens and are no longer legal…)
So let’s bring back the right to see (and make) documentaries like Eyes on the Prize AND get our right to have as big a tv we want in our home without corporations feeling they have the right to enter our homes and start making rules….BUZZ BUZZ
I wonder if similar rules will affect my Water Polo Championship viewing soiree this year?
In all seriousness, though, I do think it’s kind of sad that the NFL would be so heavy-handed in a situation like this.
Like the NFL doesn’t have enough money, they need to carp about licensing fees….
We just got a 65″ Mitsubishi HDTV last weekend. I am still hooking it all up. We had wanted to get one anyway, but when they said no interest for two or three years, we said, “ok”.
So, if anyone wants to come out to BFE Virginia (Cumberland County) and watch, we always have good snackies.
Megan?
🙂
There’s a football game this weekend?
It’s this weekend? Like in the next two days?
Is that directed at anyone in particular, Whackette?
Mark – nice 🙂 Isn’t it always cool to use somebody else’s money?
All of you in BFE VA (love that!) can head to Mark’s. Mitsubishi makes a fine HDTV 😉
Not really, Mark. I’m just surprised that it’s here already. Kinda late for grabbing a sitter and I can’t just take them with me ’cause one is grounded.
I don’t think I’ve ever been invited to a super bowl party before.
Maybe next year?
I KNEW IT! Vivian proves why she is a liberal:
“Isn’t it always cool to use somebody else’s money?”!
Well, that’s just good economics, Jim, not liberal politics.
Whackette,
We always have something, even if it is just family.
You are welcome to come over when ever you want. 😉
Jim – It’s not like they told us they were giving us a TV, we can just avoid paying interest for a few years, hopefully long enough to pay it off.
Vivian – I forgot to mention the new Yamaha A/V receiver, and Klipsch surround speakers; it’s the nicest gear I have ever had! 🙂
Oops! That includes a 12″ subwoofer, also Klipsch
Whackette, I also forgot to mention we make our own salsa and other tomato products (V8), and we will probably have some crab dip as well.
We gave some away to a campaign last year, and the volunteers couldn’t get enough!
Salsa that doesn’t come from a jar!!! YUMMY!! I can’t wait for fresh tomatoes– real tomatoes, not gassed under ripe impostors.
Last year, we had well over 100 tomato plants, plus a lot more.
Corn, Black eyed peas, snaps, blueberries, peppers (3 kinds), rhubarb, sweet potatoes, yukon gold, reds, canteloupe, watermelon, gourds, onions, cucumbers for pickles, cabbage, broccoli, etc
God I love living in the country!
