What do you do when the cable goes out?

Last night I got home from class and went to play some Counter Strike. I got as far a getting a list of availible servers when the cable died. I called the cable company and got a time frame of "by morning" for when it would be back up.

I ended up watching The Empire Strikes Back on my new flat screen TV.

What does everyone else do?

no what I mean was she was in bed and sleeping when the cable went out....
It was late and I had just gotten back from class. I am a little more coniderate than that. I don't view my wife as a piece of meat for me to have sex with when i am bored, so as I said that was not an option. :p
