Big-assed TVs

Over the weekend, Heimlich and I went to a party at a friend's house. They had recently added an addition onto their house, and the whole thing was basically every American guy's dream.

They had a HUGE living room, with surround sound speakers built into the walls. The focus point, of course, was a 50" flat screen TV. Facing the TV was plenty of seating, including one of those suede couches that sucks you in, and makes you want to fall asleep. Off the living room was an enormous deck. The deck also had speakers that were hooked up to the TV, so that you could keep track of The Game while hanging out outside. And the deck had a nook for the largest grill I have ever seen.

I mean, really, if you told the average guy to design a house in the suburbs from scratch, this would be it.

Here's the funny thing... The whole thing put the idea in Heimlich's mind that we should look at larger TVs. I don't really think that we need one (or the new entertainment center and PVR that we would have to get along with it), but we're probably the only couple that we know in which the woman is the one pushing for a larger TV.
