Monday nights are good nights: Monday nights are traditionally when math grads and faculty go out and drink and say weird, weird things. The highlight of this particular night was, I think, when someone asked 'Is there such a thing as softcore gay porn?' and this person was completely and totally not me, and not connected to me in any way, shape, or form.
The answer, as any fool knows, is yes: it's called Troy.
I came home to find that NOT ONLY had my eBay-bought Canadian DVD player arrived from Toronto, but my authentic British DVDs from Amazon.co.uk had arrived as well! It is a fucking miracle. I hooked this player, a Malata DVP-393, up to the (filthy American NTSC) TV, to test it out. I didn't adjust a single setting or enter a single code. I did nothing. I stuck in a British DVD--Region 2 encoded, designed for a PAL system. And it worked. The lil' fucker worked, right out of the box! It started playing Series 2 of The League of Gentlemen like nobody's business!
This DVD player represents the pinnacle of human technology and civilisation. This is why our species will be remembered through the aeons. For a DVD player that plays any fucking thing on Earth, right out of the box. It is so beautiful.
A lot of Americans are about to experience Chris Morris for the very first time.
