This is one of my favorites. I love the cleverness, the brevity, and the pun in the title.

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

Wow. I just watched the John Stewart on Crossfire video. You know, the one everyone's been talking about.

It's like the 5th Presidential Debate, only without the president. I think the winner of this debate was pretty damn clear, though.

John, in you we trust. Thank you for taking your guest time on their show to hold them to their obligations. Thank you for sacrificing your chance at comedy for a chance at truth. You didn't sell out. Thank you. And I love how you said Carlson wouldn't get a chance to eat with you even if he wanted to.

By the way, you looked really good, and your hair wasn't as grayish in their lighting as it is in TDS lighting.

Grrr.

So we just spent a lot of money, and got two things:

1. sansung liquid crystal display monitor
2. tv tuner (turns my monitor into a tv screen, effectively)

Unfortunately, I am unhappy now.

1. My monitor isn't as sharp as it was when we were looking at it at the store. All fonts have this blurryness instead of a defined edge. I have played with the resolution and all the display settings to death and I can't make the blurryness go away. It's that typical LCD blurryness that I loathe. This is why I was reluctant to change from a regular monitor, which was hella sharper than this, which is supposed to be fantastically high quality. But still the blurry font. Even typing now is pissing me off because I hate looking at it. I feel like I need glasses or my eyes are tired or something. There's no hard lines around the fonts.

2. The S-Video port on the back of my tv-tuner is made incorrectly, so my Playstation2 S-Video plug doesn't fit. God knows why.

3. The vcr quality is really blurry on my monitor.


I am very discouraged.

I wanna cry. And over technology! Stupid. But it makes me want to cry because I'm so frustrated. Or maybe that's just the BLURRY FUCKING MONITOR pissing me off and making me think I want to cry because my eyes are tired of trying to focus on a BLURRY FUCKING SHIT MONITOR THAT'S BRAND FUCKING NEW.


I hate LCD screens. Really hate. I don't want this crap if it can't even display hard lines without making my eyes feel tired.
