A friend and I were discussing our sleep schedules (we are 3rd shifters) and he mentioned that to keep from disturbing his wife he sleeps on the couch with the TV on when he gets in. He thought that was a little harsh as most “guys” are known for doint this, so I had to explain my reasoning.
I told him I didn’t want the evil TV pixies to control his mind. Of course I’m not sure their evil, they may just be communists or democrats (I can’t tell the difference), but I still don’t need them beaming their evil plans into his sleeping mind. Everyone know when you are asleep you can be told anything and are more likely to do it on waking.
What are TV Pixies? You see them as the things with the different colors that make up the picture on screen. They live in the data inbound data stream, in the transmitted frequencies recieved, in the high-pitched harmonics created while the screen is on. Most people call them “pixels”, but they haven’t seen them up close. They are hard to see in the wild, specially around LCDs, but pop open a CRT and you’ll have a better chance at it.
I’m not sure what their agenda is but consider:

[li]Dogs generally don’t like TV, their smarter than that[/li][li]People actually laugh at some of the most idiotic sitcoms. Just sit a while and watch some “prime-time” then read a transcript of the same show and think back … :smack: [/li][li]Some of the most popular shows have been game shows and reality TV. Why? WHY? [/li][li]Why do people by some of that **STUPID[\B] crap? Info-mercials, Ron Propiel…ugh[/li][/ul]
My son is a good kid. Heavy on sports, not so much with the computers. But he has a bad habit of laying on the floor to watch TV. When I’m in the living room he wrestles with his dog or plays fetch with the cat. If I leave to work in the computer room or fiddle with my motorcycle, he starts to fade out. He knows I don’t want him sleeping infront of the TV but the TV pixies tell him its ok and he does it anyway. I usually prod him away with my foot (
) and send him to bed but this has been ongoing for +8 years. He’s learned most every lesson but this one, and I know it’s because the pixies are telling him otherwise.
Anyone have this same problem? Anyone have any solution beyond getting rid of the TVs? I can’t convice the wife to dump them because she is under their evil spell already.
Well, guess I better post this before the drugs wear off.
