My Sony surround system has an upconvert DVD player, yet I don't seem to notice that much of a difference in picture quality... also, I hate how 4:3 DVDs tend to have these annoying black bars on the sides (I keep an older TV around for those DVDs that are in 4:3...)

This is why I always buy the special edition or widescreen version of movies. I can't stand 4:3 pan and scan. Has to be widescreen, even with the bars on the top and bottom. ____________________

Yea... you're forgetting about older TV programs that are only in 4:3 and don't have a 16:9 version available. *looks at some older anime series, and Futurama/early Simpsons*

Still don't know why Family Guy isn't in HD. At least Simpsons fits on my screen.

Neat. Wonder if it will be mentioned in the show by the characters.

My little brother has an adorable Charmander, Agumon, and Gabumon costume (guess what shows he likes to watch?). I used his Marill one for Halloween one year. Instead of a full-body outfit, it ended up just being enough for my torso.

It was flipping awesome. I had a dance-off with a pair of brothers who went as Neo and Cloud. Black coats all around!

Today, my POS phone initiated a long-distance call while in my pocket, folded shut. Fortunately I noticed when I pulled it out to take a photo only a minute later.

That phone will make a great baseball someday. (Actually no, it'll find some way to fail at that too.)

The problem with my cell phone is that the ring is too quiet for me to hear it when I use it as a house phone. Landline service in Michigan is too damn expensive, but I wish I could make my LG (which I just keep at home) as loud as a landline phone.

I've got a Nokia 6600. Front has suffered screen mutilation. I need to get a replacement at some sort but I'm really not in the mood of figuring out yet another phone that's going to break on me.

	I've had only 3 phones since 2004. My original Sprint phone that had Push to Talk before they merged with Nextel, then an A900 after I could upgrade, and now my Blackberry Curve 8330. Next will probably be an iPhone if I ever decide to switch, or maybe the Evo 4G if I stick with Sprint. ____________________

I have an LG (my "home phone" which is actually a cell phone) and a Motorola which I sometimes take with me, but I keep forgetting to charge it

My parents do have a landline, so while I'm here I've been explaining "No, my mom is in Italy" over and over again.

	Full qwerty makes texting and emailing so easy. I never texted before I got this phone. Well, I did a little on my A900 because it had Speech to Text but it... was... awkward... waiting... three... seconds... between... each... word... People would look at me funny. ____________________
