Google TV Is No Hoax

I got Google TV, and they're paying me 40 large just to watch it.

Here's a screencap:

The only program available is some weird show with two aliens stacking boxes. It hurts my eyes a little, but it is kind of addicting. And anyways who cares, I'm getting paid 40 big ones to watch.

[I realize that by combining two extremely obscure references in the same post, the population of readers who will get it is basically nil.]

I think it must be finals time; Annie seems to have lost it again.

P.S. He said "Forty large", not "Forty Big Ones"; in the venacular, that means $40,000, not the $40.00 he's being paid.

This entire video looks like it was made by someone on acid; I didn't think they used hallogens anymore.

Or maybe it was just a third year law student being bored to death...

I just watched the Mark Ericson videos; there must be thousands of geeks pulling their hair out trying to get that little TV antenna.

Only Annie could find this stuff.

Is that why we check this blog?

Back to the books, Annie.

"halogens?" I never touch the stuff. Flourescents are my bulb of choice.

LMAO!

I didn't even get the reference at first, but I had a feeling that was "Carl-speak" in your post. I hadn't seen that episode before, until today.

Two questions: Don't you people feel guilty for wasting time watching stuff like this? It's not even funny, or good. It's just a bunch of pothead rambling.

What am I going to do with forty Orlocks?

"Don't you people feel guilty for wasting time watching stuff like this?"

Nope, not me. Each episode is less than 15 minutes long. That's a reasonable price to pay for bizarre humor.

However, watching 5 minutes of this made me feel a deep sense of shame and regret.

Reagan 80, thanks to you, I had to click that link and click "PLAY" to watch that hideous monstrosity posing as parody.

I have to wash my eyes now.

The other day I was walking my dog in Santa Monica and a homeless dude said "hello, dog."

I swear to God he sounded Just Like Carl.

Probably wasn't him, though. I can't imagine Carl is too fond of dogs after the Handbanana fiasco.

Are you all 3rd year law students?

At least Annie has an excuse for being balmy.

Posted by: shelly on Jan. 30, 2007

Shelly, I'm not but I used to be.

Anyway, spend enough time in a law firm and you'll find that ATHF can at times be less bizarre than real life. I'll admit the most recent season seems trippier than the others though...

OT: top Super Bowl ad this year!

CHICKS DIG CHOCOLATE!

I'm sorry about that, Mark.

It could've been worse, though. Instead, it could've been a link about tentacles or something.

You my dear have an uncanny sense of timing. I told you these fuckers were stoned. Do you think they told the cops to... "just tilt your head back"?

Posted by: Casca on Feb. 1, 2007

Definitely Dickesode.

Damn, I was sure it was "All your BABES belong to us".

At that point, I was ready to enlist with them...
