rcgay

tonight i taped a television show for dominique. to do this, i have to hook up my smaller television to the cable, since it has a built in vhs player and i dont have a separate vcr to attach to the regular television in my living room. this is all fine, until the end when i have to hook the cable back into the rca television i have in my living room.

the jack for the cable is on the back of the rca, just like any normal television. however, for whatever reason, the brilliant designers over at rca put it in the corner of a setback portion on the bottom of the reverse side of the tv. what this really means is it's almost virtually impossible to fit your fingers in the setback portion well enough to screw the cable wire back into the television. especially when you have manly fingers like i do (read: i crack my knuckles all the time. i just did it again). my fingers are so manly that tom cruise said "normally i take 3, but 2 of yours will do." naturally, i replied "sorry tom. first, that was not an offer, and second, i thought the restraining order said 500ft." but i digress.

but then i got the cable back in, and the world was right again.
