Due to my girlfriends ex, (her three kids father) we have an overabundance of electronics in the house. We have...3 puters (mine, hers, and the kids) 5 TVs (living room, 3bedrooms and kitchen) 3 VCRs(all bedrooms), 1 PS2, 1 X box, 2 gamecubes, 3 stereos and 1 dvd player (not including the ones in the puters, X box and PS2) And a partridge in a pear tree! I am in electronics hell!

I would fully class that as an overabundance of electronic appliances :D Just hope the kids clean up the cables and stuff when they're not using the stuff ;)

LoL! Instant brain-washing during the nights! :D
You'd think he'd start thinking in binary after a few nights with all that blinking! (what a terrible sentence to write at this time in this state of being..... [img]graemlins/1drunk.gif[/img] ) :D

I also wouldn't wanna pay your electricity bill!!

Hold on now I have to do a count up, just to satisfy my curiosity...
3 TVs (One in 2 bedrooms and the lounge room)
2 VCRs (Lounge room and my room)
DVD Player (My room)
4 Sterios (2 in Lounge room and one in 2 bedrooms)
3 Computers (One in Lounge Rooms, 2 in my room[Ok so one is in pieces [img]tongue.gif[/img] ])
Not to mention the collection of older gaming consoles (SNES, Atarie, playstations, N64, etc.)
Yep I am happy [img]smile.gif[/img]

5 TV's! I have 3, and I thought that was a bit excessive.

<font color=pink>Meh, we have one tv...a fat mitsubishi diamond 72 incher [img]tongue.gif[/img] . DVD, VCR, and surround sound/stereo go with it. Other than that, all we have is this computer [img]tongue.gif[/img] . My parents don't want me to have an xbox or any other gaming console besides this one. They don't want entertainment in my room because if i had a TV and a comp, they'd never see me again [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

Manuals? What are those? Oh, wait... those are those direction-like thingies.

Yep, a real man isn't allowed to ask for those, either [img]smile.gif[/img] Every one I've ever had is in a pile by the fireplace, in case it's needed. I mean, what can possibly go wrong? Just hit buttons until it works, that's what I always say.

The count here, BTW.... five working PCs (and three non), two TVs, two VCRs, one DVD/VCR combo, one stereo stack (CD/Tape/receiver) and one CD/Radio. All the other stuff is kids' stuff or throwaway.

*note: sarcasm smiley, folks, sarcasm smiley ;) *

Heh. My sister finished college and moved in with her boyfriend. So now I have the entire attic as my own personal Multimedia-Landscape™, a large bedroom with an even larger bed (don't ask :D ) and my own closet-room for all my clothes and stuff that doesn't fit somewhere else (the attic is huge, but also full! Again: don't ask :D ). My mother only sees me when I gotta eat or when I go to school, so I do get your parents point about the console ;)

ANyway, if someone brings along popcorn and soda we can have movienight at your place! Never saw a fat diamond TV before in my life!! :rolleyes:
