the TV incident.

Skip likes Heroes. Other people also enjoy the show. So Skip, without any outside input decided that people were missing out on the director's vision, without a TV set that displays video at proper definition, so he would bring his 46'' fancy-pants HDTV to Teri's room allowing everyone to watch the show together. No one else really cared about this mission, but The Skipper made an executive decision and enacted his plan.

How would this one play out?


The TV purportedly weighs 76 pounds, and Skip was unable to lift such an incredible load on his own, Before anyone knew what was happening, Skip had enlisted help and was hauling this behemoth of technology out of his room, moving into Teri's. The efficiency with which he organized a work crew then followed through was no doubt impressive. The Skipper proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he can meet his goals, at least when they include watching TV.

After a half hour of relocating the beast, setting up cables and connecting video devices, the audience had lost interest. They had moved on to games of skill and left the Skipper standing impotent, with his remote in his hand.

The people had spoken, the show was to be postponed for a bit, until they had accomplished the individual tasks they had set their minds to while waiting on Skip. However, Skip was not down for this plan. He insisted that he didn't have time to wait, this 46'' TV was also his computer monitor which he needed back so he could comfortably enter the mystical realm of WOW.

The people pleaded for him to just wait a bit, till the morning at the latest, to watch the show after all the work that had gone into Skips plan of relocating the TV. Skip refused. He needed his computer monitor.

I'm not sure exactly why the 7 tested & working monitors we have sitting in the corner wouldn't work for him, but I'm just a journalist, not a techie, so I can't speculate.

At this point no one wanted to help Skip move the TV back at that exact moment, everyone was engrossed in their activites. The Skipper fumed around the communal living space before convincing his girlfriend to help him.

He sneered for the rest of the night.
