> [@The King of Soup](#): > > So you should just go with it. Enjoy the frolics of our southwestern neighbors, perhaps with a nice snack. If you ask nicely, your refrigerator may suggest something tasty that you never knew you wanted. My fridge suggests things I never I knew I wanted _all the time_. It’s really gross and I wish it would stop that. I’d like the fridge that _throws that out_ when it starts talking, please. Or sets it free, whichever. ---

Am I the only one wondering what mega-deluxe cable package you have to sign up for to get Mexican porn? I’m pretty sure it doesn’t come with extended basic. ---

Why does Mozilla, after 6 months of using it, still think that email from my sister-in-law sending pictures of my 3 yr old niece is porn, yet email with subject lines that contain “MILF”, “Vicodin”, and “Greeetings from Nigeria” make it straight through? I’m thinking TiVo and Mozilla bought into the same lame AI package. :dubious: ---

Hey I’ve got the mega deluxe package. Digital cable and at least 5 movie channels, pay per view, I control and yet here I sit, completely and utterly devoid of Mexican Porn. (and mexican corn for that matter) Maybe the cats have it. ---

But, damn, it makes toast? That pretty much rocks. I’ve learned since I moved into a dorm that, yes, you can use an iron - like you use to get wrinkles out of clothes - to sorta make toast. And heat other food stuffs up. Multi-function, I tell you. ---

My Tivo kicks ass. I remember one weekend I went home to visit family and while I was there I watched maybe 8 or 9 shows at home. When I came back to Bloomington my TiVo had recorded about 3 of these shows I watched at home as well as some other shows, so I guess i’m predictible as hell. What was weird is it recorded dexters laboratory, I have never watched dexters lab on my Tivo, but I have about 10 hours recorded on VHS, I have no idea how it knew I liked that show. ---

Multi-function, I tell you. I’ve never lived in a dorm, but I work in one, and I assure you they’ve got a kitchen with microwave, oven, stove, and craaazyyy stuff like that, even in Kentucky. Surely it beats an iron! I don’t get Mexican Porn, but I do get the Spanish language channel where everyone’s always dancing - news anchors, weathermen, whatever. If I just squint my eyes I can imagine them naked … ---

And the interface! - I just have to think of a channel and it takes me there. I am telling you, man, my thumb rocks. But you can’t sit in front of the TV 24/7 waiting for good shows to come on, people have other things going for them. The shows I watched at home were shows I just happened to see while browsing through listings and TiVo knew they were the types of shows I wanted to watch. Had I been outside doing something the shows would still get recorded and I could watch them later. ---

I picked up a Mexican hentai magazine when I was down in San Felipe last New Years. Yes, a Mexican hentai magazine. I’m pretty sure it isn’t just a Spanish translation – I think I saw artist credits. I don’t feel like digging it out right now. ---

My TiVo is starting to piss me off. It’s taken to dialing for updates when I’m in the middle of a phone conversation. I tell it to listen for a dial tone first, but like a surly teenager it ignores me and then screeches in my ear about how it wants to call its friends RIGHT NOW.
