HD-Day was coined by "binkatl" as far as I know...

So it's the 14th, 15th, 16th or 19th. Whatever the day HD-Day is, what are your plans? Are you gonna watch transponder signals, HD sports, or just spend countless hours flipping through the new HD channels and not really watch anything.

Me, I'm gettin' lit.....BooYaaah!:D

ROFL working late - installing a huge VOIP phone system starting the 16th through the 23rd, doubt I will see anything but the office, my cell phone and my bed until it is finished

We will start and contribute to long threads tracking the progress of D11 and asking "when will we get MORE HD channels?".:D

I don't know...but with HotPass, ST/SF, and the new HiDef channels - I may need to do something bad in order for the wife to put me in the "doghouse" this week-end.:D
I'll need some alone time.;)

I did see a pretty Samsung last week-end, and my wife said "Are you sure"?. We "need" one for the bedroom. I could put the 32" upstairs in the bedroom...(this has to happen before I tell her I upgraded our Directv programming with ST/SF, HotPass, and Starz).

That will get me to the doghouse.:D

Is that because she'd be in SD 4:3 and stretched onto HD 16:9? Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I plan on working in a 140 year old house, riding atv's and falling asleep in a recliner while the Discovery network shows all the same shows on it's variety of channels. Really now....how much "Take Home Chef" can one handle?

Hopefully there will be a movie I haven't seen on HDnet movies.

I'm glad someone clarified that the "50 pounds" posting referred to a commercial.

I thought it was an insult aimed at chazbochuckie!

I don't see many commercials--I didn't even know who the Budweiser frogs were when I heard them in a radio commercial several years ago. I thought they were a couple of guys talking about eating bugs!

I think the LOL should have been a clue for most people as a joke not an insult. But hey no matter what you can never please everyone so why try.

And if your team is getting creamed YOU TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!!!:lol: :lol:

Not if you're a Steelers fan. That game will be a snoozer.....i mean, the Bills? :rolleyes:

How's Steely McBeam working out anyway? My money says he won't make it the whole season.
