Oh Lord, Won't You Buy Me a Color TV
KV-32XBR48, Sony - Of San Diego, CA, age 7 years, died today at exactly 11:37 AM. Beloved friend and companion, dependable and full of vibrant life and color, KV passed away doing what he did best: entertaining his owner, with an accurate and heart-wrenching rendition of the Speed Channel presentation of the SpeedGT series out of Denver. KV-32XBR48, or "The Big TV" as his owner affectionality referred to him, was born out of a small Good Guys store in La Jolla, California, one fateful spring day in 1998. He had always been overshadowed by his famous and (now legendary) bigger brother, KV-32XBR100, but his owner had found a special place in his heart for the 200lb black frame, digital honeycomb filter, component inputs, and invar black mask. It took some settling in, but they eventually adjusted to each other, sharing memorable moments like the first rendition of Gran Turismo 4, the repeated beating of roommate competition on Madden NFL 2000, and the amazingly precise color and detailed imagery as Farmer Hoggett turned to his chubby four legged friend and uttered the words, "that'll do pig...that'll do". The relationship with his owner went through some good and some bad times, including 7 apartments, a 500 mile journey from southern California, 1 storage unit, and countless Initial D episodes. Yes, "The Big TV" will be sorely missed. Private services will be held in South San Francisco on 8/21/2005. In honor of KV's tireless dedication, please make all donations to your local charity in his name.So if ever there was a sign to tell me I watch too much TV...sheez.

that or you need to go out more often. :)
Heck yeah. Once I find a place next month, hopefully the pieces will start falling together...tennis camps, racquetball games, photography expeditions, hiking, pilot training, race weekends, and a real honest-to-God workout regiment. And some bar hopping. :)
don't forget kickball beer league!
Right! Forgot about that!
Looks like it happened just in time for those newly announced LCD rear projection XBRs!
True that. But after seeing my co-workers' cheap big screen setups, I'm going projection, baby!
my set's currently one step away from ICU. it's almost 13 years old this coming january.
