It's absolutely wonderful, and I can actually enjoy movies without the fun of trying to figure out what's happening on the 1 foot segment of the 3 foot screen that's not blocked by the giant man sitting in front of me[1], while being wholly unable to hear the dialog clearly. >>Peeve: Car-owning friend has already seen _Shakespeare in Love_, so I'll >>have to wait for video for that one, too. > >Can't you pull rank? >Or can he out-wrestle you? He's ranked 2nd in the house; I've got the coveted 7th ranking (of 9 people; the only people ranked below me are those who have declined to participate in an eligibility match). He can easily out-wrestle me. >(Or is your ninja costume out at the cleaners?) He's actually the one who owns the ninja outfit. (After he won a hard-fought match to get his #2 ranking, he commented: "I wanted to give up, but I knew that if I did, I would be dishonoring the ninja outfit. It was the only thing keeping me going.") -Mike K., who knows how silly that sounds, but it's cool [1] Giants always sit in front of me.
