Compared to most of the people leaving threads here I am a god. I have that 5.1 Surround, and for anyone who will be looking for a 5.1 Surround System let me say that you will go far with a Altec Lansing system! You know those speakers in the local theaters; those are Altec Lansing 9 times out of 10. In other words, Altec Lansing is perfect! As for HDTV's I have a Phillips 30" that does 720p! Most of you are probably going "Damn you must be bringing in the cash for that kind of TV." Well actually no, I found the HDTV at Sams Club; you know that store owned by Wal-Mart. Now I did see the TV in the store but it was around $1,600 or something like that. If you are a Sams Club member or if someone you know, like your parents, is a member go to their website and check out the actions area. I got the HDTV that was around $1,600 for $530 + S&H. It took a while to show up, but if you get one now it should be at your house 1 or 2 months before Halo 2 comes out. As for those Routers mentioned in Frankie’s update, I can say that the D-Link can be tricky at first but if you do something most people don't do and READ THE DIRECTIONS it’s so simple that a monkey like the Bungie webmaster can use it! Of course the Bungie webmaster isn’t one of those monkeys you see in the zoo, so he is probably not a good example. But the D-link has a sticker on the box claiming that its Xbox compatible. So unless you’re a computer techi who maintains a network at a multi-million (or billion) dollar company, I recommend that you get the D-link or one of the other ones Frankie mentioned.
Now for those things that could help you get out of work or school, I would like to add a few of my own.
1. Food poisoning - just claim that you went to this fast food place or you got some Amish food and now you have to stay at home.
2. Bi-polar episode - obviously you have to be diagnosed bi-polar for this one to work but claim you had an episode and the doctor says you should not do any work for a while.
3. Heart condition - this might work better for larger people than it will for slim Jim people but it’s worth a try!
4. Sick day - this is for the working population only, but all you have to do is make sure you don’t get sick between now and November 7th. This gives you 2 days to start showing symptoms at work, like excessive sneezing and hacking stuff up.
5. Friends wedding – just say that a friend from college of high school that you have kept in touch with is getting married and has asked you to be there. Of course make sure you say that its in another state 3 states or more away and that you were invited to do a ton of other stuff for the entire week before the wedding and you don’t want to disappoint the friend.
