  - My Trojans historically underachieve against teams with little to play for but the future. - musubi Sep 2, 10:20 2
    - hee hee. my trojans historically underachieve....nm - x Sep 2, 10:21 1
      - Marriage has made you giddy as a schoolboy. (nm) - musubi Sep 2, 10:23
So I'm sitting in the Chinese buffet at lunch, slowly killing myself one crab rangoon at a time and I can overhear the old guys at the next table talking... - Ender Sep 2, 10:16 1
- You should have asked him what he thought about the moon landing. -- nm - Trish Sep 2, 10:27
If this conference call ever ends (ugh) I'm going to the post office (SS package!) and bank before the airport. - ty97 Sep 2, 10:16
Nevermind all that. Help me talk myself through my home A/V setup and decide on a receiver or new tv. - Max Sep 2, 10:15 13
- honestly, for $900 you could probably get both a new tv and receiver. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 2, 10:25
- 1+1a -- nm - decline Sep 2, 10:21 2
  - With his TV lacking HDMI, I'm not sure that will work. I know my receiver will only output HDMI inputs on HDMI outputs -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 10:22 1
    - ah, I missed that point. you are probably correct. -- nm - decline Sep 2, 10:25
- my receiver (yamaha, obvs) allows me to run my tivo in composite and out on the HDMI bus. you don't need to worry; it'll convert the signal for you. -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 2, 10:19 1
  - (I would upgrade the tivo anyway and get a cable card rather than a cable box. it's cleaner.) -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 2, 10:20
- As long as you confirm your receiver will upscale analog inputs to HDMI outputs, this is your best route (and what I do) - oblique Sep 2, 10:18 6
  - reverse: I need to downscale hdmi inputs to legacy outputs. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:19 5
    - you just need one to downscale to only one format though, not multiple - tRuMaN Sep 2, 10:21
    - there's no clean way. didn't you say new TV above? new tv. -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 2, 10:20 2
      - the more I think about it the more the new tv sounds like better bang for buck (mwah) - Max Sep 2, 10:22 1
        
        That being said, plan for the receiver. It is what I do and I find it a preferable method to running everything into the TV - oblique Sep 2, 10:24
    - That is far more rare because of the whole copy protection schemes, etc. -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 10:20
A post on B2 that missed till just now. It made me laugh (link) - musubi Sep 2, 10:14 [Backboard] 1

  - some things can't be faked. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 10:15 1
    - Happy anniversary! -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 10:17
- But you've been here for year. How can you still be 33? - ty97 Sep 2, 10:14 3

- You should put up a sign in your apartment: [N] Days Without Fire -- nm - nubby Sep 2, 10:11 1

  - It's such a buyer's market. We listed a couple of sofas we have in storage and I noticed that there were 700 (!) furniture listings a day. -- nm - David Sep 2, 10:11 5
    - I'll bet that if you put some of the phone numbers through cl's own search you'll realize that some are dealers listing their whole inventory individu -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 2, 13:58
    - we're such a college town that august and sept CL is like no man's land. a furniture listing goes up and comes down within hours. - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 2, 10:13 2
      - We're a huge college town as well. That's probably the explanation right there. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 2, 10:17 1
        
        yeah, a bad time of year to sell. can you wait till october? -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 2, 10:21
    - lot of dealers, and lot of crap, if it's like here. but still... -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 10:12
- "Maybe instead of buying it, I could just come over and watch it?" - TFox Sep 2, 10:10

  - I'd like my slice without the Groiny ... thanks! P.S. Was it baked? (the cheese cake that is ... not Groiny) -- nm - JenBro Sep 2, 10:13

What I really want to know is how the hell are we taking longer than Cavemen to draft? - musubi Sep 2, 10:00 2
- I know! -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 2, 10:01 1
  - I'm not saying people should be drawn and quartered, but severe beatings are in order. (nm) - musubi Sep 2, 10:03
Not that I'm dying to to drag this to another board, but my .02 for Cappy got LIR. -- (link) - pmb Sep 2, 10:00 [Backboard] 12
- I own that I just dont really worry about cleaning them up. At work I have to be so very careful - that here I just let it fly. Its more about the - Capstern Sep 2, 10:15 2
  - If you care that little about the people here, then why do you come back time after time? - Trish Sep 2, 10:24 1
    - whatever. more like lazy -- nm - Capstern Sep 2, 10:29
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Typo's signify disrespect? Hmmmm, well maybe. - musubi Sep 2, 10:02 8
  - bubers, there's a difference between an occasional typo in a three line message and six paragraph - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 2, 10:08 4
    - the other is also "I can't be bothered to learn proper adult communication or to care about whether you find it grating or not." -- nm - Max Sep 2, 10:16 1

    - I shall have to be more aggressive with my b-slapping. *rar* (nm) - musubi Sep 2, 10:13
  - You're the occassional and hilarious typo person mububi. We all make typos sometimes. Cappy's posts are barely in english. -- nm - pmb Sep 2, 10:05 1
    - I think you may have hit on something. My typos *are* a subconsious b-slap to TT. Take that, suckas. - musubi Sep 2, 10:06
  - /slaps you for that superfluous apostrophe/ I demand satisfaction -- nm - Dr., I say, Dr.Vermin Sep 2, 10:04

      - bah, boring. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 2, 10:00 2
        
        Unreal Tournament on Morpheus with extra-low gravity, big head mode, and the Translocator is *not* boring. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 10:01 1
        
        heh. on a semi related note, I wonder about the future fps war - tRuMaN Sep 2, 10:02
