I figured you guys would get a kick out of this. Cable for the city has been out for two days. I was talking about sundays football games. Everybody was confused "how are you watching TV, let alone HDTV with cable being out?"

"Easy, I just plugged in an antenna"

The look of confusion was interesting. Apparently most people don't know that you can use an antenna to watch TV. They really thought you needed cable or satellite to get TV and HDTV especially.
:confused:

Heh heh...

Incoming "Dude, can I come over to watch the game?" requests to you if the cable stays borked.

Charge admission. Profit!

That will probably violate the NFL warning they give during each game ;)

All I use is an antenna...albeit you can't see any of them in my house

He's charging for refreshments and 'party favors'. The game is free. :)
