    My remote (philips TSU2000 btw.) aparently stoped charging and has just died on me.

    Instead of getting up and moving over to the DVD player to hit 'play' on another MacGuyver eppisode, one of my favourite shows, I'm just going to go to bed.


    Damn I work hard at being this lazy.

    My last DVD player croaked and was promptly replaced by another one, right on top of the old one. Six months later, it's still there, #2 out of four components stacked on the TV.

    The first dead DVD player took two years to get rid of, and I've still got a brand new 40~" TV in the garage (2 years now) that took all of two weeks to stop functioning properly. I'm big on hope, not so much on action.

    The ironic thing is that I never watch movies or TV unless I'm at the girlfriend's house.

    No. He fell asleep in the sofa just after posting his message with a laptop and wireless internet connection.

    I predict he will move a few hours after his laptop battery dies sometime around 3 PM later today.

    Does anyone know where Artherd lives? Call the police claiming you are him and state that there's a strange long-haired man sleeping in the living room.

    Pfft.. any good laptop couch surfer has an a/c connection nearby. The only question is when will it heat up enough to burn through his first layer of skin.

    Ah, but did you have a string with a fish hook at the end of it near your bed so you could hook things and not have to get up when you were a kid?

    I did.

    The question is, when will they start making remote controls that last?

    I've got four of them currently on my coffee table and not one of them is fully operational.

    I sure did. One for the TV (with a cantilever made out of LEGOS no less) and another for the room lights.

    Then Lutron started making their decora dimmers with remote-controls. I was like "oooooo, get some!"

    Here’s a good tip if you are really really lazy: Instead of having to sit up in the bed to watch T.V. just turn the set on it’s side. That way you can lie on the pillow and drool/snore during the adds and when Kirk and Spock come back on you won’t have to shrug yourself into an upright position any more. You will save yourself burning off tens of calories that way, heck, after a month that’s a whole Mars bar.

    Good tip there!

    Also, I will never again buy any car without the radio controls on the steering wheel. After getting use to it, I groan and grumble when I have to actually lift my right hand from my beer to change some function on the radio thats not on the wheel.






    No, I don't really have a beer, just for color.

    Alright, nobody's really, truly lazy until you've had occasion to use a bedpan without having any real reason to do so. My freshman roomate in college (many years ago) was so lazy he often substituted his trashcan for the bathroom (#1 and/or 2 !!) rather than heading across the hall into the real thing! Needless to say, he was my roommate for only a couple of months until I moved out! This was only the tip of the iceburg when it came to this guy, but decorum prevents me from delving into it further here.
