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.

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.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.

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

Proof, gentlemen, if ever there were any, that money can't buy you happiness.

I'd gladly trade the two girls in my flat for that TV, I just need to get rid of my bed in order to fit it in.

I know I'd be happy, I still have my porn.

One suggestion: go after the quiet wallflower girl, not the party girl. The quiet wallflower girl wants somebody to share her life with; the party girl just wants somebody to spend the evening with.

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

I usually do...this one was because well she came up to me during an animecon(she was 24...and wearing a rather nice Budwiser dress), we started talking and well things went the way they did.

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.

You're too good for anyone... except me.

Come, let us run off together. We can steal a plasma TV along the way on our forbidden honeymoon. I'll make it worth your while!
