Here is my attempt at overkill....And a big oops to go along with it.

Well guys… here is my attempt at overkill. On Sunday the wife and I bought a new dresser for our bedroom. I got the bright idea to take the tv that was in the front room and move it into our bedroom and take our 47” lcd tv off the wall in the bedroom and use it in the front room. My wife helped me move the 55” tv to our bedroom and then went outside to play with our daughter. I then proceeded to take the lcd tv off of the wall and it slipped out of my hand, fell on top of our dresser, and put a big hole in the screen. After standing there in disbelief for about 5 mins I went outside and told my wife that I was going to BestBuy to buy us another tv because I just destroyed our bedroom tv. Surprisingly she wasn’t upset at me but I was upset enough for both of us. So after it was all said and done we got a new 42” plasma hanging on the wall in the front room (which turns out to be a really BIG computer monitor)

Overkill? No way. Just right is what I'd call it.

I think....

that anybody who buys a TV that big and uses it for a monitor is compensating for something.

When I get ready for a new TV, I want Britt to come help me move the old one

Never seen a 42" computer monitor. You are right about the second part though
