    truTV has quite a recipe for success--get free clips from YouTube or news, get D--no, F-listers to make comments that last longer than the video; show video snippet 10 times, half in slow motion. Then "preview" upcoming yucks with little snippets.

    Cut to commercial.

    Come back--repeat the video you just showed. "So far we've seen..." (replay all videos)and coming up next--preview snippets.

    Roll video...

    Everyday I enjoy the view of one of my neighbors parking her car.. she has a small car and the spaces are large, but every time she manages to get it wrong, and again and again.. It takes her at least 5 minutes to park her car, everyday. I should set up a webcam for her.

    btw this is the same neighbor that takes her car to the gym, the gym being a 3 minute walk from here... of course in the gym she uses the walking machine.. sometimes I really want to slap her in the face and shout "you are a f#cking stupid cow" in her face...


    ps she is a perfectly healthy person.

    @sos10: I watched a person try to back out of a spot. Well, yes, it was a female. And she clearly didn't understand which way the ass end of the car goes when you turn the steering wheel to the right, for example.

    It was a very painful but hilarious lesson in the trial and error empirical approach to problem solving. We all stopped to see how long it would take. Easily 10 minutes to back out of a simple parking place, nose in.

    This is why you always make sure that the car is in gear and the parking brake is engaged. One of those things that they really drill into you at drivers' ed in Colorado.

    There is a lovely young woman named Paige that sits across from me at work. I am tempted to hit Enter, then page up & page down repeatedly, but I think the company has a policy against it.
    I know my wife does.

    Just go take a Pause/Break and F key yourself.

    Or, just stay in F Mode for as long as I could.
