What's up with that crap?
All of the local tv channels here, via DirecTV are unavailable right
now, since 12:00 PM this afternoon when I clicked on WLBT (NBC
affiliate) channel 3 Noon News.
It says on my tv screen, same as it says on WJTV (CBS) and WAPT (ABC)
and WMPN (PBS) and WRBJ (CW Television Services) and WUFX (MNT
Television Services) WDBD (FOX Television Services) No need to call us -
We are aware that this TV station is temporaraily unavailable,,, We'll
have this channel back as quickly as possible.Sorry for the
interruption.

Those tv channels are still unavailable right now as I am typing this.

This isn't the first time they have done that, unavailable bullsh.t.

Screw it!,,, I am going to the food store.

When foolish Americans abandoned off air TV and rushed to hook up to cable
and satellite TV, they begged the providers to have their way with them.
You've
given up all the power to jackasses like Turner, the cable outfits and the
satellite scumbags. Americans have backed themselves into a corner. They all
want to drink from the hose but the water valve is now controlled by someone
else.

You ain't seen nuttin' yet...wait till the REAL digital "high def" bull****
TV begins their squeeze on what you can watch and what you can't.

I am seriously thinking of turning off the TV cable altogether. There
are only five or six things on that are worth watching *ever*, and
most of them are available elsewhere.

know what time they came back on the air, it was about 2:20 PM when I
got back home.I have some tv antennas, three or four of them are
amplified tv antennas.I can hook up one of them to this tv set I use
only for WebTV and pick up those local tv stations over the air.My other
tv set I use only for DirecTV sits next to the one I use only for WebTV.

Can't expect cable tv and satellite tv to be free, those companies have
bills to pay too, the employees, utilities, maintnance and upgrading
equipment and pay for new equipment, lots of things.Unless it is Free To
Air satellite tv.

Who cares if satellite companies and cable companies have bills to pay.
That's their problem.
It wouldn't be an issue of Americans were content to take the stuff free off
the air like we did
for years before we were hypnotized into thinking we had to pay for TV.

They're probably using a Winegard antenna clamped to the side of an

Heyyy, Jay Leno will be on Top Gear this coming Monday, on the BBC

vehicles and Jay Leno had a feather up his arse, we would both be

I have a pair of old rubber boots I sometimes wear, if it is muddy when
I am working outside.I also have a pair of white heavy ass thick
insulated U.S.Army, Korean War era ''Mickey Mouse'' boots.

Yesterday, on my way to the food store I saw a 1964 Chevrolet Impala
car.Looked like it still had the original factory paint job, the body
wasen't rusted out, only one or two dings in the chrome strips on the
body of that car.It was running Good, no smoke was coming out of the
tail pipe either.I was driving my 1983 Dodge van right behind that car,
right up at the top of the hill from doggy's couch.

Good old Detroit Iron, you just can't beat it!

I don't ever want any Toyotas or any of that furrin brand name crap
vehicles.

I still own two of the three Toyotas I ever had. One, a 1994 Corolla
wagon, has well over 200k miles, all original, and still runs great.
The bets car I've ever owned. The other is a 2005 minivan with 86k
that never has a problem of any kind, unlike my earlier Dodge minivan,
which was a worthless lemon from the word GO. I also had two Ford/
Merc sedans - both crap by the time they reached 100k. The only
reason I do not have my older Toyota, which had over 200k, 40-mile-a-
gallon, trouble free miles on it, was that some butthead smashed into
it and totaled it. It still ran, though. I donated it, and a few
weeks later, I saw someone driving it around with some patchwork on
it. For all I know, it still is operating, with 300-400k miles on it.

That "old Detroit iron" let me down too many times.

I never see any real old furrin name brands of vehicles runnin around
here.My big old full size 1978 Dodge van I bought in 1989 already had
about 184,000 miles on it.The speedometer cable wasen't hooked up to the
rear of the speedometer.The guy I bought the van from said it has at
least twice that many miles on it.He was in the Air Force and he and his
family did a Lot of traveling in that van, all over America.He said he
disconnected the cable in it because it had a kink in it.I bought a good
cable at a junk yard.I have put about 75,000 miles on the van myself.
My 1983 big old full size Dodge van has an original 146,000 miles on
it.I am the second owner of the van.I rebuilt the carburetor last
January because it needed rebuilding.

Personally, I'd be more honoured to meet some gals, rather than some boys.

But then, some of you clown 'tards would indeed be happier to meet some boys.
