fisha only gets a toothpick because of that six month special they had when I was in college. All the channels for $25, including HBO, TMC, Encore, Starz, etc. Since I moved out of my parent’s house 8 years ago, I’ve only had cable about 1/4 of the time, and most of it was in the dorms (part of the package). ---

Is that the thing that you need to see any TV pretty soon? Or is it the thing that you need to unscramble signals for regular cable/dish/sat that you are cough:stealing:cough? If you steal the signals, I get your toothpick. If it’s just that thing we are all going to need soon, you can keep it. Or is it something else entirely? ---

I have never paid for TV either! I currently have cable, but my wife pays for that (we are newlyweds and won’t be co-mingling our funds until the new year) and before I met her I didn’t have a TV, before that my room mate paid for the cable, before that college where I again didn’t have a TV and before that my parents. Booya! No toothpick for you Oh, and I am jewish, so no baptism either.
