Those Wegas weighed 13 metric tonnes I swear. You needed a crane and 3 holstered elephants to get the thing into position in your living room.

Oh yeah, I had to hire the âGot Junkâ guys to come out and haul all 200 pounds of it down the stairs. They earned their fee that day. I did feel kind of sad as the TV was still working but wife wanted to start watching Blu Ray disks and well the converter kind of worked but yeah. Replaced it with a Sony 49" 950H and whoa, wife is very happy.

I remember having a revolt about blue rays. I had just finished upgrading all my favorite movies from VHS to DVD and then this! Outrageous!
And just this past weekend I cleared out my study and turfed all my DVDs anyway. Who needs them today?

You recently move your CRT out, while 8 months ago I finally pull my 32" Sanyo HD (wellâŚ720p/1080i) CRT out of storage (with some helpâŚitâs ~175lbs) after 10 years or so that I could finally transform a spare room into a classic gaming roomâŚjust to still throw my back out for a few days. 
. And, I didnât even take it upstairs, unlike at times in the pastâŚ

Thatâs the opposite for me. I can now pack away a whole pizza, but when I was younger, half a pie was more than enough.
Pizza is already dairy overload. Youâre washing it down with milk???
Wow, Iâve been a vet for 21 years and I enlisted when I was 19. I just realized that.

When you see these words and wonder⌠Who, exactly? Dave Matthews? Foo Fighters? Man, I still remember when Dave Grohl was in NirvanaâŚ
And the âearly 2000sâ feels like yesterday.
Itâs amusing to see old timers in WoW talk about firing up the game in 2004 when they were a kid and think to myself âI was in my 2nd year of grad school when WoW came outâŚâ
