T.V.'s. I have NOT dropped $4000 on a T.V., or a T.V. on my

[Strong Atheist]

foot! In fact, I own no T.V. at all, which does not bother me OR make me proud either.


So the question:

How many T.V.s do you own?

Edited: Dang, the "0" in the poll did not show up. Yet another oddity on D.U. Lets see if this fixes it....

Edited again: Yay! put a "." after the "0"!

[Neshanic]

1. And they are off! This should be somewhat hysterical.

5. You have the best smilies! But I still like the babe from

your earlier post today ...

[In_The_Wind]

22. Are you talking about this one?

Thank you Darlin'

[Strong Atheist]

26. That be it! A babe! nt.

[Call Me Wesley]

4. One.

Big enough.

:popcorn:

[Strong Atheist]

6. What's with all the

:popcorn: ? Is this really THAT controversial?

[Neshanic]

7. Are you kidding? TV set quantity ownership on DU?

[Strong Atheist]

12. So? Whats the big deal? Some of us own nice T.V.'s, some

have old T.V.'s, and some (ahem) have none at all. So what?

[Neshanic]

16. It's kinda like the Volvo litmus test for liberals...get my drift?

[Strong Atheist]

17. So, lie and say you only have 1 if you have more than 1.

I promise I won't check :eyes:

Owning more than 1 T.V. should not be a crime (or a sin, whatever).

I don't have one, but I don't feel that people who have more than one are BAD people.

Do a lot of others here really feel that way?

[Neshanic]

18. But Bush will...he can see me in on my couch with a bag of Dorritos.

[Strong Atheist]

21. Ooookkkkkaaayyyy ....... nt.

[Call Me Wesley]

8. Uhhm, kinda.

It doesn't make sense if you ask me, but who am I?

:popcorn:

[Strong Atheist]

11. One of the Celebrities of the lounge, that's who!

I still don't understand the T.V. thing; explain please.

[Call Me Wesley]

15. Celebrities of the Lounge?

I'm not, believe me.

Give me a few minutes ...

[Heidi]

39. Do _not_ call him a "Celebrity of the Lounge"!!!

I have to live with this guy, Strong Atheist, and if he thinks he's a celebrity, it's not gonna be pretty around here. :cry:

[Strong Atheist]

41. ROFLMAO! nt.

[Heddi]

9. We have three...

but one of them is a Sears TV and the manufacturing date on the back is 1974--older than me! It works rather well for its age, and is in the kitchen. We don't really watch it because we don't spend alot of time in the kitchen, but sometimes if I'm making dinner I'll put it on the news and listen to the news.

It has one of those old-time cable converter switches on the back, and it used to be my grandparent's, then they gave it to me about 15 or so years ago and I've had it since. It used to have my Nintendo hooked up to it. We have the cable attached to it now, but you have to go through the VHF/UHF channels to get anything, and you can only get a few channels that are really fuzzy.

I think if the tube ever went out, I'd pay to get it fixed. I couldn't throw it away. It'd be like throwing away a part of the family!

The other two---one's in the middle room---we only use it at night to have the TV on when we're in bed, then the huge one in the living room--huge as in old and large. I'd like to get rid of it one day. It's too much of a pain in the ass to move...

[Strong Atheist]

13. Ah, a youngster! nt.

[Heddi]

24. Yeah. My TV is quickly approching middle age :)

it's already what...32? I turn 30 in less than a month, so the TeeVee doesn't have that much above me :)

I have a feeling that TV will outlive me. I forsee it being the prize heirloom of my estate....

[Strong Atheist]

29. 30! Not a youngster at all, almost a geezer!

:sarcasm:

Happy birthday soon!

[Heddi]

32. I know. I feel half dead

My 33 year old husband says that 30 isn't that bad (even though he wept like a small child on the eve of his) and everyone OVER 30 tells me to stop my whinin and get with the agin'.

30 is such a responsible age. I'm not out of school, even! I feel like at 30, I should suddenly start to "act my age"---the thought of which makes me retch. Ugh. now I'll REALLY get the "So, when are you two gonna have a kid/buy a house/get a real job/etc" questions like never before....

[Strong Atheist]

33. Actually, I have found that I am an adherent of the "You are

only as old as you think" school, because that is how I happen to live. I think of myself (in my mind I am) 18-21, so that is my mental image of myself, even though I am really 41 and have started to get aches and pains and such nonsense...

[no name no slogan]

10. Just one

I got custody of the 22" in my divorce, and it's the only set I own.

And most of the time, it's only used to watch movies and videos.

[Strong Atheist]

14. Cool. Sorry about the divorce. nt.

[no name no slogan]

19. Dont' be sorry

It's the best thing that could have happened to me! :D

[Strong Atheist]

30. Ok. Congratulations! nt.

[LSK]

20. i have 3 and they are all at least 10 years old

Although I might buy a new 27" this spring.

[Call Me Wesley]

27. W00t!

Then you can get BrazTiVo!

[RockaFowler]

23. I love having 2 TV's

I watch one and the hubby plays games on the other. I'm still conventional, though. No Plasma's or LCD's yet. I kind of like the tube TV's

[Omphaloskepsis]

25. 19" Goldstar..

I like watching TV. If it makes you feel better then me because you don't.. Great. I don't really give a fuck. And typing that might make it seem like I do care. But, really, I don't.

I like rap music too.. And pizza.

[Strong Atheist]

31. Actually, I was rather careful to say

that I was NOT proud, just to avoid hypersensitive posts like this. Geeze, you can't please people ....

[bleedingheart]

28. We have one a 53" Mitsubishi....nicknamed the Kaaba

[Left Is Write]

34. 6, if you count the one in the garage that needs to be repaired.

[Strong Atheist]

35. Count it any way you like! As if I could stop you... nt.

[Benfea]

36. I've never paid more than $100 for a TV

As far as I'm concerned, it's just a monitor for showing my DVDs.

Computer monitors, on the other hand, are something I'm willing to splurge on. I *heart* my 19" LCD.

[Strong Atheist]

37. Ah. I also splurge there. I had a 19" and loved it, till it started

spouting smoke. Then, I found a reconditioned 21" for a good price, and have had it for over a year ...

[Benfea]

38. I can never go back to CRT.

These things are so much easier on the eyes.

[tyedyeto]

40. There are 2 in the house

But only one is plugged in. The one not being used is one that was lent to a friend for about a year and returned to me recently. So.....

do I vote 1 or 2?

[RandomKoolzip]

42. I bought my TV for ten bucks.

It's a thrift store special!

[CottonBear]

43. 3 TVs, 3 VCRs, a Playstation and an X-Box.

None of the TV's are very fancy or expensive. One 19" no frills TV dates from the early 1990s. One is a 2 year old 19" stereo TV. The other one is an all white compact combination TV/VCR/FM radio/alarm clock set in my stepdaughter's room. We play DVDs through the Playstation
