TIVO's not for old Farts!

[DarrellP]

I was at the Vet the other night picking up my cat and this guy behind me was getting very agitated waiting in line. He finally gets up to the counter and the lady is trying to tell him something about medication for his pet and he rudely interrupts her saying "Can this wait till another time? I have to get home to watch the World Series"

I looked at him and said, "You need a TIVO". :o
He says "A what?" :confused:
I say, "A Tivo".
He says "What the Hell is that?" :mad:
I say "So you can timeshift programs. You could go home and back it up and catch the part of the game you missed". :righton:
He says "No way, I want to watch it Live".:thats:
Well, bust my britches you old Fart, :bang excuse me for breathing and offering you a solution to your delimma! (BTW, he was only a couple of years older than I am and I ain't talkin' ).:D

A classic story. Next time. tell him that a Tivo makes the umpires delay the start of the game until he gets home. :D

As a "certified" old fart, I'm here to tell you that the legendary old fart mentality can be found in both males and females of all ages, even children.

If he only knew how easy it is to watch
a 4 and a half hour ballgame in two hours,
minus the commericals!
That's the biggest problem PVR manufacturers
have...educating consumers.

Pete, you are so right and us "old farts" need to save all the time we can...LOL

Reminds me of the Who's lyrics from My Generation, "hope I die before I get old". Some people are ancient before they get out of their 20s and some keep going and can accept new things into their later (don't want to put a number on it) years. I'm at an age where I know I would have thought myself an old fart.

Somebody like that wouldn't even like your avatar, DarrellP. :)
