I’m a Seahawk fan and since they are going to the Superbowl and I only have a 36" non-high definition TV I asked a long time aquaintance if he would contribute to a worthy cause- donating the cost of a 60" HD plasma TV so I can watch the Superbowl in dignity. He made light of it! He said I would only get a stiff neck because I would sit too close to it. Of course, I was devastated. Please advise. No, I am not currently medicated. ---

Root for the Houston Texans, then you won’t need _any_ TV. ---

Who wants to watch the Superbowl in dignity? I plan on making a complete and utter pig of myself. An HD pig, but a loud, rootin’ tootin’ swine nevertheless. ---

I hope that whatever screen you watch the game on will allow you an unobstructed view of the shellacking your team is going to take at the hands of the Steelers. ---

Meh, it’ll be more like a view of Cowher and his Oscar portrayals of _manufactured indignancy_. Someday when he meets Gruden on the field, maybe they can do a split screen of those two in a hamoff. Course, Gruden does get points for personality. Go Seahawks! ---
