this weekend, my husband accompanied his father to Costco to look at new tv options.
my husband’s brother-in-law also went along.

3 hours later, this was the scene.
this gives a whole new meaning to: Home Theater.
a 50 inch monster Plasma High-Def Television.

now the “boys” swear up and down that they tried to persuade their old man into sticking with the smaller options. maybe, one that wouldn’t require having to go and buy a new pickup truck in order to bring the tv home!

they said the store even had one or two that were bigger than this one!
what for? watching tv in your living room from the comfort of your back yard!

I watched the hubbies eyes glazing over as he set this thing up for his father.
and I’m sorry to say……
mine were too.

I repeatedly expressed absolute disgust at this thing the whole time they were playing with it.
but secretly, I was in total awe.
we already have an HD tv and the picture is gorgeous! but on a tv this size…
WOW!
as far as size difference, I noticed when my FIL pulled up the menu screen, IT was about the size of our tv!

but luckily, being a woman practical person, I can recognize the impracticality of such a purchase given our humble and modest circumstances.

but Ohhhh, how I want one!
