Just my luck
This is another one of my stories, and let me assure you that every ounce of it is true. I even have pictures to prove it, I will post when developed...........
I have a floor model, wooden, 1983 zenith TV in my living room. Do yall remember them? Anyway in a heated game of Tiger Woods 2001 last night, ol woodie just shut off for no reason. Being the technical genius that I am, I assumed that the tube had gone bad, thus rendering the TV useless. Upon coming to this realization, and being blown out of my mind on bourbon, I quickly lept (hahaha, lept) from my chair and went down into the garage to retrieve my 029 Stihl 18inch farmboss chainsaw. Awww yes, much to the delight of my comrades who upon seeing the saw in my hands began to chant things like "you dont have a hair on your ass to cut that TV in half" yadda yadda. 2 pulls and the saw roared to life. One cut down the side of the TV and everyone is laughing their ass off, but alas, I cant get to the other side of the TV to finish the job, as it is against the wall and now my whole place is filled with 2 stroke smoke and the carpet is covered in sawdust. My roomate talked me into putting the saw up and going to bed, assuring me I had done a fine job.
Got up this mornin, stumbled downstairs, forgetting that I had attempted to cut my TV in half with a chainsaw the previous night, and out of habit attempted to turn on the TV so I could watch the weather channel before I got in the shower. Guess what? The friggin TV came right on and ran like a champ. Just my damn luck, but really I think the TV is in slight denial, its time is limited. Its really just a matter of time now before I get plowed again and the TV and I go another couple rounds. I'll keep everyone posted and try to post the pics when I get the camera developed, if I dont wind up chopping it up too.
