I went to Best Buy the other day to buy a new DVD player.  I went into the tv department where I was approached by a young salesman.  He asked me if he could help me and I replied, "I would like to buy a new DVD player."  He said, "What...?"  Again I said, "I would like to buy a new DVD player."  He looked at me and shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't know what you are talking about..?"  I said, "I think I'm saying it right, it's a DVD player.  You put little DVD movies into it, and you can watch movies on your tv.."  He said, "Oh....., you want a Blue Ray Player...!" 

It's really starting to get weird.  The older I get the faster my words are become obsolete, and causing me a big communications problem.

I think the next time this happens to me, I'm going to say, "Aaaaaa, the new word for DVD player is Blue Ray.  What do they call Pussy..?"

That's weird. As far as I know, they're still called DVDs. Blu-ray is a bit different. I suspect your salesperson was a dick.

Try and find a DVD player in a store anymore. Blu-Ray players will play DVD's, so actual DVD players are going extinct. But yeah, the employee was either a dick, clueless, or both.

Actually, the salesman was pretty nice.  He seemed honestly to have not understood the term.  He also smelled very nice, but I figured I'd keep that to myself.  After I left I could still smell him for the remainder of the day.  I guess I must have been standing too close...?

You're making me uncomfortable.

You don't smell too good?

Me too.   I asked for a simple straight forward small sized DVD Player for Christmas to watch my old b&w tv show dvd's on and Warden picked me up a sony one somewhere but it was just wha ti needed.  Play, FF, Back-Up and stop with a simple remote, hdmi slot and only an inch or so thick and about a foot wide at most.

I got a Sony too (BDP-S6500) for $99.99.  Since I've still not purchased a new tv as I said I was going to do last year at this time, I made sure it had all the features.  Wi-Fi wireless streaming, 4k upgrading, and 3D.  I think it will convert a 2D to a 3D..?  I hooked it up to Netflix on the tv in the bedroom (HD), and it was very impressive.  Now I'm going to have to watch that program on Netflix that everyone has been pissed off about, "Making a Murder."  As for as the new tv, that's an unknown.

Don't know. But I sure as hell don't want Dad smelling me.

I finally tried that Aging Room Small Batch M356 Rondo, aged 7 weeks without its wrapper, last night.  It was relaxing, as I always enjoy, but it mostly just tasted like aged tobacco very slightly on the strong side.  One dimensional without any added flavors.  It went out twice, and needed a couple of minor corrections.  Over all, I'd rate it, "I'd take one if some one gave it to me, but I'm not going to buy any."  Any other thoughts out there..?

Many of the Aging Room receive very favorable reviews by "the biz" including people who I generally agree with.  I thought them very ordinary with no particularly interesting features and below average construction and burn.  Just as with the Stogie Guys article for today, different tastes!

It sounds like we all agree on this one.  Thank god I was able to agree on at least one cigar..

Mine is a Sony, cost $29 at Walmart she said, has no bells and whistles and does everything I need which is play my shows when I push the button..  I got some kind of fancy smancy blu ray on another tv that I can't even figure out how to turn on and off.  Warden and the boy use to use it but chit she can barely turn the tv on and off so it just sits collects dust.

got my 2nd box of BV's.  I had one on Saturday and it smoked ok as well.  No big change in the flavor profile in a week but not unpleasant.  still a bit mild for my tastes, but will probably make a good morning smoke.  Very bland on light up, but it does pick up some when you get about 3/4" into it.

I went to my friends party, and there was about 30 or 40 people there.  I had to use the bathroom, and I noticed a bottle of Polo sitting there.  I thought to myself, "No one will notice," so I splashed some on.  I'm not sure if any of you have smelled Polo before, but you can smell this stuff a mile away.  I walked back into the crowded room, and everyone turned and looked at me, and they all damn well knew what I had done...  So if you go to a party and see Polo sitting on the counter, "Don't do it...!"

Everyone bitches at me if they watch me cook, but they sure like it.  Let's see, a 1/2 shot of whiskey, 1/2 a glass of wine, a little brown sugar, some Greek seasoning...  Actually, it's really good, and I can't wait to eat.

Which one was the BV...?  Was that the bargain buy..?
