everytime palin looks hot take a drink. i plan to be drunk within 10 minutes.

I would be as sober as the OP with that game. I'm sorry, I need alcohol to get through this bloodfest, and that's a piss-poor way to do it.

Oh, by the way:

P&N------->

everytime sarah palin looks like an idiot take a drink?

alcohol poisoning in 5 minutes. I need some kind of happy medium. plus, I don't have nearly enough alcohol on hand...

lol

As for the TV tuner, I am indeed considering one, but I can't get one right now due to money tightness. I am just a college student after all.

Anyone else have some suggestions?

poor kid find one under 25 bucks and ill paypal you some money so you can get a tv tuner

Me too?

depends. which college do you two attend? ill pick the one i like most

Just graduated from Arizona State. We have the hotter girls.

you graduated! you aren't a poor college student anymore

Well I just blew myself out of the water. This competition was rigged from the start

Georgia Southwestern State University.. I'd say we have very hot girls and in the climate where they all wear short shorts! 😛

But I can't really find any ATSC/NTSC tuner.. We have to use NTSC for now but we were told that it will be slowly changing to ATSC as the stations do.. Also clearQAM would be a plus, But even with the basic ATSC/NTSC requirements, I dont see anything under $50..

And it still has to be USB or ExpressCard, since I have a laptop 🙁

the problem is that the ditto heads are deaf to anything she says, b/c all they see is this "image" of some wholesome, god-fearing, gun shooting, "independent" woman.

much like you keep your g/f 2000 miles away?

You can buy a SMALL tv, or even a freaking TUNER CARD For your PC for less than $50

All major networks will broadcast the debate at 9pm.

Pretty much. i'm reluctantly separated from both. But I do intend to buy a tuner when I have the money to spare. Right now I come out about $20 ahead at the end of each month after helping our grandparents with bills along with our own and chipping away at tuition. Also saving for plane tickets for obvious reasons.

I can't get radio reception here and all my hangars are plastic.. But I wanna see their faces when asked the questions anyways, so the web stream will work fine for me!

wow helping grandparents, sharing a car with your bro, having a chick out of state. You'd think you'd have a lot of reserves in cash rather than none.

It hurts my head to think you are really in college though and just not sitting at home in a single wide.

My money has to be very carefully rationed to work for me over these next 4 years of hell 🙁

Having a chick out of state doesn't make things any easier though, you're right about that..

I'm sure you can afford some tylenol though for your head. And you may even be able to go to the www.gsw.edu sight and look up my name.. But I'm not sure.. I haven't been anywhere else except the RAIN, RADAR, and WebCT areas for classwork.

I wish it was a single wide.. It has more room then this silly little apartment room with 4 guys..

No, for some reason radio reception can't get out of this room. I can get a bit of AM, but not a clear enough signal. As for wire hangers, I dont really need them, I have lots of plastic ones..

Ha ha.. yeah thats misworded.. 4 little rooms with 1 livingroom / kitchen area. Can't put a TV in the living room cause we can't agree on payment of it 😛 I aint footing that bill myself. And everyone else has their own TV's anyways. But they all had 19" CRTs from home. Mine was a 27" CRT television and I looked it over and the space for work, documents, etc. is more important than the vast footprint taken by the television.
