A quiet prayer to the tivo gods
I don't watch the show How I Met Your Mother, but somebody on a forum mentioned this, and it was so perfect and fantastic that I had to post it. As you may or may not know, Stephanie and I are a two tivo household-- mine and hers. And I have completely come to the conclusion that the TIVO is the one appliance in the house that if it broke tomorrow (god forbid) I would go out and buy another one the very next day. I can live for several weeks without a stove, a refrigerator, or a dishwasher. Tivo-- Never! Anyway, apparently, on the show, the characters have to go to a funeral on Superbowl Sunday, so they Tivo the Superbowl. Before they leave, they have a little prayer to the tivo gods-- a prayer that goes like this: Quiet Prayer to the TiVo Gods Almighty TiVo We thank you for all the gifts you have given us: The power to freeze live TV to go take a leak is nothing short of god-like And let's not forget fast-forwarding through commercials. It seems greedy to ask anything more from you, O magic box But if you malfunction and miss the Super Bowl We will destroy you in the alley with baseball bats Amen And here's the Youtube video for your viewing pleasure!
