Preferably someplace really CLASSY that still receives television over analog radio waves. Oh and IT WILL ALL BE OKAY EVERYONE. From here on out… the world is going to be different for us. ---

Well… you know how people celebrate new years and their birthdays and christmas and summer solstice and the birth of James K. Polk and the day the iPhone came to the world and Hail Bop, except we won’t be killing ourselves Why can’t we celebrate the digital transition? I NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY WOULD COME. ---

“Did you know that starting on June 12th you will need a digital converter to view over the air broadcasts?” No, I’ve been living under a fucking rock for the last 2 years, thanks for bringing this to my attention. ---

Anyone want to take a guess at the approximate weight/number of teeth that the person the news will inevitably find for the broadcast tomorrow saying they had no idea why their TV stopped working? I’m going with 350+ lbs and 10 or less teeth. ---

Just ran a scan on my hdtv with an indoor antenna hooked to it. We get two channels, I live right in West Seneca, a few miles south of the city. Christ, I hope the cable never goes out for an extended period of time, or I’ll be watching fox 29…
