    so I am in Circuit City last night, staring blankly at a wall of TV screens/monitors, you know the sweet stuff--big screens, flat screens, plasmas, all that stuff--when an ad for the MLS comes on...no lie....

    the ad was very well done, maybe about 7 minutes long...showing some pretty sweet highlights from this past season...welcoming newcomers Ruiz and Twellman, keepers Howard & Rimando, what have you...

    then they lead into the top 10 plays of the year...and who was number 1? Our own Ronnie Ekelund....

    can I just say how sweet it was to see that bomb of a free kick v Columbus on like 40 monitors, super loud and vivid and beautiful...i got chills in there....chills....

    just wanted to share a little Quakes Magic.....

    That must have been sweet!!!

    I remember seeing the Strike Force commercial like that. I happened to be standing in front of the sweetest HDTV in the place. Sony. Beautiful. My mouth dropped open and I said, "My goodness!!! You can see each stinkin' blade of grass!!!!" It was so gorgeous!!!

    It's a DVD.....I told you guys I tried to buy it from the guy at Circuit City.....he wouldn't sell. It has a bunch of other stuf on it but I wanted it just for the MLS stuff.

    Tell him he should show you how good his DVD burners are and get a copy that way.

    Make sure he makes several copies, you can never be too sure about the quality.

    I saw the same DVD playing at a Sam's Club in Sioux City, Iowa.

    So, dop...after that experience, tell us how big a TV did you end up buying? (or did you opt to put several on the wall of your own home?)

    wasn't there buying a tv....just picking up some blank cds and a power strip....and the new 4 disc Fellowship....and I am standing there, in the middle of the aisle, arms full of product......with a glazed over look as people file past me like I am part of the display...

    "you too can be mesmerized by this HDTV..."

    I admire your will power. After such an experience, I probably would be running home to my living room to take measurements--all the while lobbying my wife on the merits of an 85" screen!

    Oh crap! I knew it was impossible. "Lindsey", and "running fast", doesnt go good in the same sentence. *sigh* I AM a goalie, you know!

    But I can drive fast, so Ill be the getaway driver:)

    First off.....it's a DVD, not video. Secondly, rather than go through the whole application, interview and rejection process, just shoplift it and make copies and then sell them, course I get a freebie for the idea. :D

    This is a personal pet peeve of mine - a DVD is still a video. A VHS cassette tape and a DVD are both videos. I think what you meant is that DVD is not VHS - which is not what she said :mad:)

    Yes, I intend to remind people of this until the day I die :mad:)

    That's awesome. Is the VIDEO out yet. They were promoting a dvd during yesterdays U.S./ ElSalv. game. Is it the same video? I'm totally gonna buy it cause it looks interesting.

    Did you ever buy a tv?

    I know this....i was speaking to lindsey specifically, she would have been looking in every VHS player on the floor to find it......frustrated and defeated, she would have left thinking it was an magic invisible store copy. You have to know your audience. :D

    Erin and Lindsey, you two are making it way too complicated. Instead of applying for a job or shoplifting, why don't you two just sleep with the store manager? I figure the least he could do is give you a copy, maybe two copies, of the video.
