103 INCHES OF PURE HEAVEN!

Jenna Jameson always looks better on a big screen.

For those of you mathematically challanged that’s 8 feet 6 inches of TV…Now thats a TV

Or for any of you metric folk thats 261 cm or 2.6 meters of TV

and so will NCAA 2006.

I just rurnt mapants.

Are they using a small chinese guy so that the TV looks bigger? Just a little free word association: Ginormous, Godzilla, Double D breasts, won-ton soup, chinese delivery guy on bike, pizza.

“Isn’t technology great.” is a question. It requires a question mark. You really should not be knocking an FSU (or any other college) education until you learn the extreme basics of punctuation.

Jesus, and first I thought you posted something about my johnson.

““Isn’t technology great.” is a question. It requires a question mark. You really should not be knocking an FSU (or any other college) education until you learn the extreme basics of punctuation.”

If it is a rhetorical question (a question that requires no answer) it does not need a question mark. Ain’t THAT a bitch.

I think I hear sirens. It must be Grammar Police Officer Matthew… Dude, why are you worried about a missing question mark when there is a 103" TV to be dealt with?!? Do you like that punctuation? It’s wrong, you know.

Anybody else think Matthew is one of those assholes that ignores 2,000 words of beautifully written arguments, because the writer accidentally used “your” instead of “you’re” in paragraph 2, line 6?

Yeah, me too.

Just in time to watch that great Redneck love story, which comes on USA this weekend.

That movie, is ‘Deliverance’ of course.

Seeing Ned Beatty in Superman on a 103" screen would be horrific enough. Now you have to bring up Deliverance.

I won’t sleep for a week.

And to think, I had to be the guy to post something on Florida football, what with Orson out of town and Stranko indulging in his TV fetish.

Actually, Matthew, it’s not incorrect, because Stranko is using it in a humorous ironic sense. He’s not asking a direct question; he’s referencing a common cliché. Imagine if he were speaking aloud— the question mark would indicate that his voice should rise on “great”, instead of taking the falling intonation that would occur with a deadpan delivery.

Anyhoo, part of the beauty and fun of the English language is its malleability. Intentionally incorrect punctuation and spelling can be utilized to great comic effect by those with a sufficiently competent grasp of the language.

This is in no way an insult, but I think the phrase “extreme basics of punctuation” is odd but quite funny. It sounds like the catchphrase from an X Games public service announcement for proper comma usage. :^)

BTW: That TV is bitchin’.

Everyone’s got nice stuff but me and Orson.

Southern Papa-

Orson just called me from a hotel room in New York where he was watching “Deliverence” while waiting to go to dinner with Warren St. John. Synchronicity!

Not to be a stickler but The Conscience of a Nation you used a double negative when you said “its not incorrect”. You should have said was “it is correct because”.
Honestly I dont care I just thought Id ruin Matthews night by putting that before him.
How bout that TV. How much tin foil do you think you have to use on the rabbit ears for that thing? My cousin would totally blow me if I had that thing coat hangered up on the side of my trailer.

Sorry, Sam, but you’re wrong. It was a factual counterstatement: Matt said “It’s incorrect”, and I replied “It’s not incorrect.” If he’d said “It’s incorrect”, and I’d said “No, it’s not”, would it still have looked wrong? It would have the same meaning. A double negative would have been something like “That there ain’t no good english”. Et cetera.

Again, though, who give a shit besides bored English majors catching up on work while their husbands are whooping it up in the Big Apple? That tv is truly a thing of beauty, and I wish you success in all your cousin-fellatio efforts.

Yes, I know I made a typo in post 16. Dammit.

Wow you guys don’t see the f ing TV do you?
You can turn that question mark sideways and stuff it up you candy ass.
“Tell em about the gun line boss”

PSURob: “Are they using a small chinese guy so that the TV looks bigger?”

Well, judging by the fact that Panasonic is a Japanese company, (Parent company National makes just about everything over here), I’m guessing he’s a small Japanese guy, not a small Chinese one. Though you’re point is probably still valid.

Did you notice in the article that the manufacturer “pitched a tent” outside the New York Stock Exchange. That was not unlike my reaction on seeing the television. It was a small tent, but it was, nonetheless, pitched.

I’m going to stir a lot of ire here, but if Matthew should have gotten his panties in a bunch for anything, it should have been for the use of “EA Sport’s” instead of the more gramatically correct “EA Sports’”

Think of it… the division’s name is “EA Sports” not “EA Sport”, and ownership is shown with a “’s” except in cases where the word ends in a “s” whereupon a “’” is added thereafter. E.B White anyone?

Yes, I am drunk. I will now throw myself in front of a truck.

And who argued that the USA isnt a hegemonic superpower? We have so much money, idiots can debate grammar on college football fan blogs. Eat that, France. Despite W’s best intentions, I can clearly see everything is functioning smoothly. God Bless America.

Damn! How much does that thing cost? I know, I know, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. I bet you will see those 103" behemoths in a lot a trailers watching Bama football this fall. Quite a few will be shot out with cheap pistols after a fumble or God forbid, a loss to Mississippi State. But, that’s OK. The Bear would have wanted it that way.

Jenna Jameson always looks better on a big screen.

I dunno man… HD porn ain’t all that. I don’t need to see every pore… that’s why playboy always looks like it’s shot with vasoline on the lens, to soften it up a little.

It’s ‘uge! It’s the size of Sputnik!

Does anyone have a clue as to what this thing will cost? Ive already started saving up by donating some sperm as well as blood. If I can make it twice a week Ill have saved enough hopefully for that sweet moving picture machine.

Conscience of the Nation I extend my deepest apologies aa well as my most sincere thanks for your well wishes toward me and Misty and our fellatio in front of this mammoth TV. Best of luck to you and your 17 cats in the coming year.

For you grammar police, I have only one thing to say:

“I’m Ron Burgundy?”

Hey E-man how’s this weeks ESPN column about the Red Sox coming?

You know, not everyone who reads this blog is a freakin’ english major and while i(oh no, that “i” needs to be capitalized) might enjoy the occasional bickering between a couple of prissy wine-sippers, it becomes quite…ugh, whats the word…fucking annoying.

The best thing about this blog, besides football, is the sense of humer of the participants. Most blogs would have jumped all over Matthew. Here everybody gets into a semi smart ass, and very funny, gramatical argument about grammer. Well done kids.

SUCK IT, suck it Trebeck.
I like wine. Its delicious and gets me and my life partner/roomate buzzed enough to forget what we did the night before.
Lets be honest you chose that name because you really have a thing for Trebeck and you think hes even more dashing post-stache (even though we all know a muSTACHE is the true sign of manliness) and wich upon every shooting star to be that card so he could hold you in his strong hands.
Shut it suck it trebeck unless you have something funny, smart or derogetory to say toward Matthew.

RJM,

Ouch, that hurt. Below the belt man.

No cats here, Sam. Orson don’t like em none.

I heart you guys, I really do.

This is easily the most entertaining site I ever visit.
