TV: Honing My Rage & Hatred
Nephew wanted to watch a video. Uncle ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marxdarx had the system set up for TV, with the antenna he got.
Aunt Joanie shoved the TV around and banged on things for a while, gave up, when it appeared that the coaxial cable wouldn't screw into the appropriate socket on the TV, askedvotania for help. Votania tried and cursed at the thing as well. "It would take a god to do this!"
"Wait, I am a god!" I declare. She pats me on the head and leaves for work.
I discover I've been trying to screw in the co-ax the wrong way.
Instead of unplugging the one and leaving the other plugged in, I drag out my Box Of Parts, and find the handy-dandy cable switch, which I install to make swapping out VCR for antenna for DVD player that much easier.
Nephew learns that "moron" is a word as bad as "stupid".
