TRP: Free of political butthurt since 1999.

It's pretty old, and its been going pretty grey, but probably best not to chance it.

Ah what's a little arsenic in the air? It'll go nicely with the lead from the paint chips he ate as a child.

Question that I didn't think needed its own thread:

The wife and I have been enjoying some TV episodes we've missed by hooking her laptop up to the HDTV and watching them online. Is there a Roku/AppleTV/BluRay-Player type device that can visit websites like ABC.com and stream the episodes that way, or should I just save up for a dirt cheap desktop with HDMI out? (Kinda like a Media Center PC)

I'm leery of going the Roku/AppleTV route because apps like ABC Viewer and Hulu don't say they stream in HD. The HD streaming from NMUKat's laptop (from MLB.tv to ABC.com) to the HDTV has looked amazing.

I'm not sure if it would be feasible, but maybe a smartTV with access to those sites could play back in HD directly?

You know, I'm all for prostate cancer research and all that, I mainly just can't get behind "Movember" because I don't spell "mustache" with an "o".

I can't get behind it because I don't want to look like a 70's porn actor. Or a cop.

This needs a Venn diagram of the intersection of '70s porn actor and cop, with the intersection being Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck.

Do you spell November with an "o"?

He's an important person from NYC...he has no time for silly little facts like this!

I do, but if the two words don't have anything in common and it's just sticking the first letter from one word onto the rest of the other word, then it's just not a good play on words at all. Why not call it "Bovember" and grow a beard, or "Hovember" and wear a hat all month, or "Nopantsovember" which I think it self-explanatory?

You do realize that it has multiple spellings and that "moustache" is one of them, right?

Yes. That was part of my original point.

I don't partake in November because by the time the month would end, you might notice the attempt of a moustache.

Yes. That was part of my original point.

Just making sure that this whole thing is just your hangup. St. Clown's reason is much better.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. It's just a silly hangup, is anything serious ever discussed in this thread?

I'm one of the last people to latch onto technology... I do have to admit, however, that THESE GOGGLES LOOK PRETTY BADASS... This seems like one of those things that I saw on a cartoon in the early 90s and wondered when it would become real... For once, technology is a welcome game changer.... I really wonder at what some of the data is from when I ride... Now I have a way to find out (and probably scare the crap out of myself as well )
