And tonight? Guacamole for dinner
jarbaby
Welcome to the club.
Good stuff, isn’t it? Learn to work the menu guide and timer and you’ll be stylin’ in no time.
Tacos for dinner here. And on BRAND NEW COPPER BOTTOM cookware! WOO!!!
But I’ve had direct TV since it looked like the Cubs were going to make the playoff in 1998. What’s the deal?
shhhhhh … no no no jonathan! you’re supposed to act like I’m in an exclusive club.
You’re ruining everything!
jarbaby
Well, yes. But that has nothing to do with your TV.
I remember TV! Sort of like a webcast except with lousy video, and you can’t send out or use the box for anything else? Looks like a CRT monitor except with big honkin’ controls & stuff? Analog storage on polyvinyl tape?
…I may yet bow at your feet, though, if the guacamole is truly fine 
jarbabyj:
Sort of. It’d be more proper to say I want you to live in my house, serve me grapes and lick my toes. But I guess DirecTV is good, too.
It has been almost three years since I’ve had cable or any sort of television I can’t get via the rabbit-ears on top of my set. From all I’ve heard from everyone, I think the only thing I’m really missing is those cool shows on the Sci-Fi Channel. I’ll persevere without it.
And now that you have Food Network, you can catch up on the phenomenon that is Iron Chef. Be careful… they suck you in.
Soon, you’ll be in your kitchen trying to come up with seven new ways with an avocado in an hour.
You should do something for that cough…
And the Make Believes (AKA Maple Leafs) are chopped liver?
We’re gonna kick some serious ass this year.
We might win a few games, too.
Too bad about the Cubbies, though. (Oh, my sides!)
Yes Slip, yes they are.
Hawks hawks hawks.

Jarbaby, I’ve been willing to bow at your feet ever since reveling in the glory of a couple of pictures of you at a dopefest.
Jeez, jarbaby- That’s cough’s getting out of control. You should get some antibiotics for that.
Indeed. And if AR ever moves in, can I stop by periodically with my videocam? 
Enjoy your new toy, jarbaby!
DirecTV is one of the few reasons I still love my parents.
Their washing machine is the other.
