Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Well, I guess what my next Tivo purchase will be. Here's my choice:

what to do with my tax refund:

a) new couch

I'd been telling myself that I didn't need an HD TV set until Tivo came out with their HD version. Now...

Of course, DVDs are still stuck in SD, at least until the studios pick a format. Maybe I'll wait until everything can be played in HD.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I wonder how long it'll take Weaknees to blow up the storage?

I wonder how necessary that'll be with the E-SATA port?

Weaknees didn't provide a technically complex solution--they bundled a solution for the lazy or clueless. Those people won't disappear when S3 comes out.

But is it bigger than Batman? Maybe only literally.
