Poll question: 11 straight hours of TV!!!
If someone forced you to watch 11 straight hours of TV, would you watch the entire extended edition of The Lord of the Rings, or would you watch 3 back-to-back NFL games with an hour of commentary on each end?

Bathroom breaks are grudgingly allowed.

There's a chance I could end up doing both of these in the near future.

5. that would rule.
The only chance I have to hear Myron these days is on the NFL network on-demand. They have highlight clips of each game with the home team's radio announcers. It's really a blast trying to figure out what the hell he's saying.

He speaks in a strange tongue known only to Stillers fans.

10. Lord of the Rings is not Sci-fi, its Fantasy, there is a big difference.

14. It's my job

I work 10 hours a day at a TV station as a Master Control Engineer. Unfortunately, I don't get to pick what I watch.:(

If I'm on day shift, we run straight informercials all day. I usually work second shift now, and our "prime time" is just bloody awful. I don't even want to see one of those bloody idiot boxes when I leave work.
