Make sure it's at 1080p.

It's almost creepy. Pretty expensive still though.

I don't think you could be disappointed with a tv hanging on your wall as opposed to being another dust-collector sitting on a floor.

I can't hang it on the wall in this place.

I am not rich.

I am also not buying one of them HD DVD or Blu-Ray things.

Most likely the TV is coming from Costco.

I've seen the demos. They look like TV's to me. I hate how they cheat in the stores by showing computer-animated movies like Happy Feet or Ratatouille.

We drove all the way out to the "Saint Louis Mills" location (actually located on the outskirts of Hazelwood, MO) tonight, based on information from the website which said that the store would be open until 8:00pm tonight (Sunday).

We are shopping for a new laptop computer for her, and wanted to check prices at various retailers. We had arranged our schedule tonight according to the hours listed on the respective stores' websites, deciding to stop in at this Circuit City last because we 'knew' they would be open the latest.

We arrived just minutes before 7:00pm and the employees were already locking up the store. We were annoyed and at first we thought that maybe it was just a one-time event because of the Super Bowl(?) but we noticed on the glass door that their posted hours say that they do close at 7:00pm on Sunday (not 8:00pm as posted on the website).

One younger employee saw us and came to the door. I told him that we were confused because the website stated they were open until 8:00pm on Sunday night, and he politely said I must have been looking at the wrong page for a different location. We double-checked, and we did look at the right webpage, it's just that the information posted was incorrect.

Here is a screenshot of the page I took after we got home tonight:

And here is the webpage itself (if it hasn't been changed already):

Obviously, had we known the proper store hours ahead of time, we would not have wasted the trip out there (our we would have at least planned our evening accordingly).

(Ironically, at the exact moment that we were turned away from the door, loud music was being piped to the outside speakers in which the refrain was "Let me in... let me in..." - I recognized this song as "Immigration Man" performed by Graham Nash & David Crosby, but still it was definitely adding insult to injury at that point!)

the french men i've met have been equally as arrogant.
i'm sure this is not indicative of all french, just the vast majority.

Sorry, but to me, this is a fucking stereotype if there's any !!!
just like the same we have here about you saying that Americans IN THEIR VAST MAJORITY are fucking fat self-absorbed idiots, crazy about guns and hamburgers and unable to spot another country than the USA on a map !!!

Good luck with that. Some key business concepts you might want to acquaint yourself with if there's still time:

REACH AROUNDING (outside of the box, natch)
