The mating rituals of human females require that the man max out his credit card or inheritance, to provide better experiences for girly girls than the stud bad boy with the motorbike. I did this with first a B/W pocket Sony TV portable (with an actual miniature Cathode Ray Tube that pointed at a mirror), then a flat LCD screen, to watch the latest episodes of Star Trek Enterprise in the quite at night Havemeyer 309 room of the Chemistry Dept. of Columbia U, where they filmed a crucial scene from the movie Malcolm X etc.. Guess what? 20 years later, I still have the hottest chick in the world. You know what I mean. The type you don't lose attraction for. Her latest demand? Sort through all of Bob Marley's 309 songs, for her iPod nano. 21 to go. I had more respect for Mr. Dreadlock before I heard the bad recordings of hundreds of bad Marxist (work at Circuit City instead of go to College hippie sh*t theme) junk. But also, Bit Torrent and Netflix are merely the latest. This is an example of simple mating behavior. Old days? Reading the Bible or Marche de Sade outloud to the glow of a fireplace, or fire-burning stove light/room-heater. Why do you think they called the "boob" tube, early on. It was bling, the likes of which, especially in miniature form will likely never exist again. "Hey hoochie mammie, my iPod is thinner than Brent's and Buck's combined, if you understand math." And what were they watching? Real news, back when Journalism wasn't a Leftist political club, and real movies back when they really made real movies for TV. Then they f*cked. Why? Because video porn was unheard of, and Madonna and Britney had not yet made sex so boring that it was a mere form of foreplay for actual dating. The latest/greatest? Charlie Chaplin's 'Great Dictator' and a couple of his early works. The COMPLETE pilot and latest seasons of the new BattleStar Gallactica, the ENTIRE 4th Doctor Who Episodes, Connections by James Burke (Season 1, and the decade later seasons 2&3), along with all the good Fellini movies such as 'Amacord' ("I Remember"), along with 'Streetcar Named Desire'. I could go on, but I can't give away all my continuing tricks of beach seduction technology. Don’t laugh.
