That, my bloggy friends, is the smell of my television...burning into oblivion.
Yes, our television has died. FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE SUPERBOWL. You know, the where the STEELERS are playing in? We couldn't be more ticked off. We never, and I mean never, buy those extended warranties. However, with the newness of the LCD tv, Remodel Man thought it would be a good idea. So, if our tv had broken one month from now, we would be able to head to a local retailer and exchange it for a new one. The whole process might take an hour. Door to door and back. But no, our luck is so much worse than that. Nope, we're still in the manufacturer warranty time frame. This means that we had to fax over a form today, then we will call back MONDAY to get the info on sending it back and we might just have the replacement tv by one week from Monday. This would be 8 freaking days after the Superbowl.
You know, I'm thinking that anyone who lives within a certain radius of the home city of each of the Superbowl teams should be given top priority with tv manufacturers.
So, can I come over to your house to watch the game? That is, of course, if you 'll be wearing black and gold...
You know you can come to my house. That seriously sucks.

Oh. My. Gosh. That is perhaps the most tragic post I have read this year! YES! YES! Come to my house! While it may be a bit of a commute (probably around 9 hours or so) you will be in good company - we have a group of Steelers fans down here! Pack your Terrible Towel and head down south!
