That's one thing that's aired, they also show a lot of macho 80s flicks, grindhouse fare, and Robert Rodriguez projects. The Dusk 'Till Dawn TV show is on it, for instance.

They just shove channels wherever there's receiver space. When FXX came on, it took over some Fox Sports channel, so FXX is in the middle of a bunch of sports stuff in the lineup.

To note,
Frontier is like the only service that refuses to carry Cartoon Network in HD. So it's not like it's top notch TV service. It's just a matter of, which Satan do you want to do deal with? For my household's money, I'm not touching Comcast. Dish Network is virtually garbage (and continually has rate wars with local station affiliates) and DirecTV is alright, but really too expensive. Also, we'd be using Frontier for internet regardless of anything else, due to the awesome FiOS infrastructure Verizon setup and sold off. Thankfully, on that front, they're excellent. TV is something Frontier doesn't want to continue doing, and that's why the service isn't great, but they're forced to soldier on thanks to service laws in my area.

That is true of all carriers actually. They would much rather sell you data and voice only, and not have to pay licensing fees for lineups. Despite being more complicated product sets, they have far less service headaches.

Smile: Discussion with friends concerning the first time we said "I love you" in a relationship.

I thought about starting a thread with a poll that asks:

Who said "I love you" first?

I think it is very interesting to see who said it first, and if people even remember who uttered those three words. Surprisingly about 10% of my friends remembered who said it first, and under what circumstances.

Cool story brah: Had a two year long relationship with a gal who didn't want to use the "L-word" around her parents, so her code for "I love you" was "I want to punch your face". Over time it wasn't just around her parents. We'd go to a restaurant, I'd order a bottle of wine, and in front of the waiter she'd announce "I want to punch your face".

Sounds weird, but it was cute.

There is an original wrestling series that airs on El Rey called Lucha Underground, it just wrapped up its first (?) season.

For me the best part of El Rey is the uncut Shaw Brothers films they show Thursday afternoon/evenings and Sunday afternoons. They also show lots of action and horror movies.

New apartments come with new residents and with these new residents, we are greeted with absolute laundry-based lunatics!

Our building has only 4 apartments in it and with that a single washer and dryer for clothes. This is how it goes. The family of 500 lives on the second floor and not directly above us. In front of their front door sits about 20 pairs of shoes that block the walk ways. They have a parrot, try to peek into our windows to see our apartment, they have a parrot, spend their days staring at people in the parking lot, have a parrot and... OH! Did I mention? THEY HAVE A PARROT!

Why do I bring this up? I don't know! BECAUSE THEY KEEP TELLING ME THIS EVERYTIME I PASS THEM AND THEY STOP ME!

They tell me their parrot craps on them. They tell me their parrot loves their oldest son more than them. They tell me their parrot likes to sit on a picture frame. They tell me their parrot loves to... FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry....laundry....we are talking about laundry!

We have just a single Washer and Dryer and they don't do their laundry, more importantly, they just set their clothes on the washers and dryers and don't do their laundry. Their stuff can be done and in laundry baskets, but still be left there. Why do they do this? I DON'T KNOW BUT I DO KNOW THEY HAVE A PARROT! Here is the thing, they did their laundry today and just left it in the dryer, as well as left their clean clothes on top of the dryer and on top of the washer.....FOR 3 HOURS! Policy is that they can leave their stuff in the facilities for an hour before I can move them to do my stuff. I do so. I take their clothes out of the dryer and set them on top of the washer, but not in their baskets because, HEY! I don't know if these are really theirs! I don't want to mix people's laundry, that would be rude!

So I go to grab my laundry and I see that the dryer door is open and my clothes are soaking wet with a note that says, "Don't touch my clothes again."

TAKE YOUR FUCKING CLOTHES OUT OF THE FUCKING DRYER! DON'T LEAVE THEM THERE FOR 3 FUCKING HOURS!

GAAAAAAHHH!!!

So the moral of the story is. I hate people who hate on the wii U and people who won't take their clothes out of the dryer. Also..why do you leave your clean clothes in hampers on top of the equipment. THEY ARE CLEAN! JUST FUCKING CARRY THEM TO YOUR APARTMENT GAAAAHHH!!!!!

Well, if they are leaving those clothes out for so long, they must be offering them up for grabs. My suggestion: use them for napkins. Eat something with a lot of mustard and wipe your mouth on those clean clothes.

Yeah I don't want to wipe my mouth with women's underwear and Taco Bell uniforms. I shudder at the thought!

That's fine. Just squirt the mustard directly onto the clothes.

I am more mad about wasting $1.50 on the machine AND my time.

Having a baby has made me a crazy person when my time is wasted. That was 1 hour where I could have been sleeping if I didn't know I had laundry waiting!

Ok, fine. My suggestion then is to shit on their clothes...just like their parrot.
