HRFL Tiger peed on the TV cable box and blew it up last week, so I have
been arguing with NTL to sort it out since. Eventually after much
ranting down the phone, the engineer came out and replaced it, but not
before HRFL sprayed the engineer and the new cable box. <Sigh>

I think Tiger is trying to tell me something about my TV viewing habits.
I know that Stargate SG1 is not everyones cup of tea, but really!

It's not SG1 that's the problem - 'fess up - you've been watching reality
TV, haven't you!

Now if you were watching drek like "reality shows" or talk shows, he'd
have a valid point. :-)

I'd threaten him with a Zat Gun, one shot only of course. ;-)

A house is not a home, without a cat.

OMG!!!!  ROFL!!!

A cat peeing on the cable box?  That's just hilarious

It beats out what happened to me last night.  I'm trying to go to sleep
when I hear this huge crash from across the room.  When I turn on the
light and put on my glasses, my VCR has been knocked partially off the
TV.  And Mischief is looking all innocent like she didn't do ANYTHING.

Purrs that your cable box gets fixed

My tiny Mimi used to knock my phone off the table (that was when
phones weighed something), and the computer keyboard off the desk.
That was to get me out of bed. :

I have an argument with the cable people every time they come to the house.
They tell me not to put anything on top of the cable box, because air needs
to circulate through the vent holes.  I tell them that if I don't have
something on it, I'll have cats on it because they like the warmth.

The last time they came out to replace the box, they told me I had "fried
the hard drive" (it's a DVR).  I think I came up with a solution, though.  I
put a wire VHS tape rack on it.  That keeps the cats off, but there's room
for air to circulate and it doesn't block the holes.  So far it's working.

ROTFL... sorry, but that's pretty funny! Maybe he's giving you some
not-so-subtle hints that he'd rather see more Animal Planet programs (or
shows of that sort, if you haven't got access to that specific channel) on
TV. ;o)

Yes it is, all 5 seasons. I still prefer Stargate, SG-1 and Atlantis.

I'm starting to get into Atlantis - of course, it helps that Joe
Flanagan (Major Shepherd) is SERIOUS eye candy. ;o)

As for Stargate SG1.... apart from season 6, which was total pants
because of Jonas Quinn and what the writers did with the script, I love
it. Can't wait for season 9 in Sept.

My latest addiction is Battlestar Galactica, the new series. It's by far
the best sci-fi series out there. EVER. I was originally a BSG purist
for the original series and refused to watch the new series because of
Starbuck being a girl. Then my brother said give it go, so I did, and I
AM HOOKED. Makes Stargate look cr*p in comparision!

If you haven't seen BSG, do so....it's awesome. It's the first sci-fi
series I have ever bought on DVD and I don't regret a single penny. You
*DO* have to watch the mini-series opening pilot to understand what the
hell is going on in the first season though.

No, I haven't seen BSG, I didn't even realise it had been remade. Now
I'm going to have to buy it, more expense. :-)

YUP!!!  :-)  We bought our copies at Barnes and Noble.  They have a sale
going on right now for their DVDs buy 2 and the 3rd is free.  Of course that
means that the cheapest one is free, but at $100/season getting four seasons
plus the movies for $300 is a bargain.  I got the fifth season and a couple
of the movies through Freecycle.  I also got most of Mike's "Red Dwarf"
collection taken care of and the first two seasons of my must have "All
Creatures Great and Small".  My mid month goal (can you tell that we got our
income taxes back?) is to get the complete Horatio Hornblower series, which
is out now, and complete the "Creatures G & S" series.  That takes care of
those times when what is on TV is lousy reality series, and bad comedy.

For you other Sci Fi fans, Star Trek, Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek Deep Space
9, and Voyager are also out, in varying amounts, on DVD, as are some of the
HBO and Showtime series like 6 Feet Under, Dead Like Me (Mike has the first
season and is hunting for the second season), Sex and the City, and The
Sopranos.

I *still* haven't seen the last episode of B5. I missed the original one
because the TV station mucked around hte times so the programming ont he VCR
didn't catch it, and every time its been on since, I've been busy, have
forgotten, or was unaware it was on until too late.

Very frustrating.

I also missed the end of Angel by being stupidly pregnant and not being able
to stay awake long enough to watch anything.

As to Stargate, I didn't like it at first, but Joel is a major fan and would
insist on watching it no matter what. Once I was forced to sit through a few
episodes, I started to like it too. The fact that Daniel Jackson is a real
honey helped, of course :-)
