Finally he accepted his name. Too much?

After being persuaded, I drove to the reservation, handed my ticket to the shaman, and wondered what I was in for. The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to me, and with a grip on my shoulder, warned, This is powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say ‘1-2-3.’ When you do that, you will be more potent than you have ever been in your life and you can perform as long as you want.’

I was encouraged. As he walked away, I turned and asked, ‘How do I stop the medicine from working?’

Your partner must say ‘1-2-3-4,’ the shaman responded. But when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon.

I was eager to see if it worked I went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited my wife to join me in the bedroom. When she came in, I took off my clothes and said, ‘1-2-3!’

Immediately, I was the manliest of men.

My wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes. And then she asked, What was the 1-2-3 for?

And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition.

Sasquatch

Not much is known about Sasquatch. As much as we know is that he is a hermit living up in the mountains of Taipei. We also know he is absolutely crazy and likes to go off topic a lot and confuse people. While he not scheduled to appear in beginning part of season 2, he will definitely be featured soon. Like most characters in the TD universe he is based off of an old friend of mine from the US. This friend even did some fan artwork for the show. If you haven’t seen the show yet, I suggest checking it out and leaving a comment. Taipeidays.com

The choices were as followed: 28″ ViewSonic VX2835WM, 32″ LG, 32″ Samsung LN32A550P1, 37″ Proton 37-TF68P. So which one did I pick? None of the above. While doing more research I came across a beauty that I just couldn’t resist.

Some of you probably haven’t heard of Chimei before. Well let me educate you. Chimei is the world’s 4th and Taiwan’s 2nd largest maker of LCD panels. So even though you might not have heard of them, they aren’t some shitty off brand. The model I bought is a Chimei 37″(TL-37S2100D) Full HD LCD TV.

So what’s so cool about this TV? Well I am glad you asked. Here are some stats for you: 37″ Full HD(1080p) widescreen HDTV. It has a 6.5ms response time, 500 cd/m2 brightness, 2500:1 contrast ratio and is sexy piano black. It has one connector for cable and a separate one for an antennae which can receive digital radio if you so choose to. It packs 2 HDMI connectors, 2 A/V composite(red/white/yellow), 2 component cables(red/green/blue), 1 VGA computer connector with audio port, 1 headjack port, and 1 S-Video port. Basically everything you need. It was reasonably priced too at $33,900NT with shipping. Even cheaper than the 32″ Samsung I was thinking about buying!

I am so glad I bought this, I couldn’t stand playing my PS3 on my old crappy 480i standard definition TV. Not only did the games look like shit, but everything was so small and blurry it was sometimes hard to read important things. Here is a comparison.

While my photo taking skills are not the best, trust me when I say that it is an awesome set and totally worth it.

Proton’s panels are made by Hitachi

As you can see somethings are better than others. While Samsung is a brand most people know of and has some better features, the Proton is bigger and about $5000NT($165USD) cheaper. I’m no expert, so I need some votes to sway me. Hopefully very soon, since my PS3 demands a sacrifice. Voting ends this Friday (07/04). Also remember this is for a small room, and I’ll be sitting about 1-1.5 meters(about 6 feet) away.

Which To Buy?
