*The big question comes down to, how do we get the leftists to reap the bankruptcy/chaos of their own selfish stupidity without taking the rest of us down with them? Federalism is the only way I know how.
And why does it take three remotes to watch TV? It makes me long for the old days when my father would simply order a small boy to change the Television.
Random thought: Shouldn’t wedding vows include something about “promise to fetch your man’s remote control from between the couch cushions, and get him snacks and beer in a timely manner till death do you part of something?” There’s a couple of other things I would add to that but Frank does want a family friendly blog…
I guess I’m still hoping he’ll give us what we want, Nuke The Moon and Fred Thompson for President shirts. Of course, given the complete lack of success this plan is having, maybe it’s time to quit being Mr. Nice Guy and start whining and crying like progressives do. Or maybe it’s time to form an IMAO Posters And Bacon Eaters Union. Maybe at least we can get some bacon treats outta this guy. Mmmmm, bacon!
Use duct tape to firmly secure the remote to a large-ish piece of 2×4. When Sarah complains she has just volunteered for for the family friendly part of Proud Infidel suggestion. You just might be a redneck if…
I have like 6 remotes. So what’s up with that? TV, Cable, VCR, two DVD players!!! I would expect all of this to be controlled by my IPHONE by now by NOOOOOOOOOO! Or better yet, why can’t I just say “Channel 5” and my TV goes to Channel 5? This isn’t hard stuff people! The problem is that TV’s and remotes are built by “Engineers”! You know the type. Pocket protector, thick glasses, daughter named Butter… oops…
Velcro, Frank, Velcro. The grabby part goes on the bottom side of the remote, and if your couch is naugahyde/leather, then the fuzzy part of the velcro goes wherever it’s most convenient to put the remote(s).

or perhaps anti-gravity remotes that just float next to you.
That’s why they are called remote controls – because wherever you are they are somewhere else.

Living next to saltwater here in the NW, I’m watching for “random” water height fluctuations. That’s the extent of my randomness today.
You have union workers to thank for that…
You’d think in this day and age they’d better build couches so the remote won’t slip between the cushions.
The only reason to have a wife. Then the remote also gets beer.

So, why would we care what Frank wants?

I’m not sure we’d be any good at whining and crying, so let’s go with the bacon option.
“Bacon Option” has a nice ring to it.
It does, doesn’t it. Maybe every solution we come up with should have a bacon option.
Bacon just brings out the best in this crowd. The Bacon Option it is!

Really, you watch TV? Did they finally produce a good program? What am I missing?
