those things are fucking insane. My wife's cousins are opening a bar and they bought one for behind the actual bar. It's a 50 inch screen and it was over $7000!!! But it hangs on the wall like a painting, and the picture is so incredibly clear. Needless to say i know where i'll be for the rest of football season.Lagmonster wrote:Married, professional.

You can get one for as little as 5000$ Canadian (about 3700$ US), if you don't mind only having a 40 inch and can stand a lesser brand like Panasonic.Col.

Though the scheme of things I would trade off the excess income(which is why I can get the darned thing) for a wife...it'd be nice to have something other then my turtle and cat to greet me in the morning, aside from other things

Yes, I know, that's a generalization which isn't always true, but it's still a fairly good rule.

As for relationships...I get much more out of the quiet ones. The louder ones, and only a rare few have shown me otherwise are of somewhat the same mold.
As for Valdemar of trading two women for the TV...nope...this thing is worth more then my car. A wife yes...just two women...while perhaps intriguing and very kinky, nah.
