What plasma and what size did you get?

You are kind of stupid if you buy a plasma and worry about an elec bill....on the back it will tell you the power draw. And it shouldn't be anything too massive.....i'll bet my computer, with speakers and monitor, draw more power then your plasma.


oh yeah, and DIE NEWBIE, DIE!!!!

You should wire yourself in series with the plasma set. The resistance your body adds to the circuit will prevent the drawn power from registering on your meter. It will also improve the overall state of the global gene pool.

My mate Barry complains about the batteries he has to buy for his wife's 9" Black Rhino Assault Dildo (BRAD); but you dont see him pissing and moaning on the forum about it, do you?

Well, I'm sure that few people get more moaning out of a dildo than you do anyway, bomber. But at least be like Brad and try to keep descriptions out of the forum. Thanks.

Surely it can't be as huge as your cable's pay-per-view bill, with all that gay
porn you've been ordering. If you want to play with the big boys, it's gonna
cost you.

I asked her while we were doing it the other night, but all she kept saying was, "OH GOD! I'M CUMMING!" over and over again. Will have to try again later.

My mortgage payment, property taxes, water and sewer, electricity, natural gas, telephone, cell phone, digital cable tv and internet average $1400 a month.
My highest electric bill was $65 running 2 1/2 ton ac at 74F for 24/7 last August.

I think you're paying to run your neighbour's pool pump and electric pool heater and central ac.

Hey Z, don't give him any ideas... Now he's going to find the cable I used to tap his electricity to provide power for my grow lights.

There's almost an acre of stuff growing down there. It gets expensive if I have to pay for it myself.

Mike.

PS: That's ridiculous. Check the power draw label on the back of the TV and see if that can cover the difference between this month and last month.

I'd investigate this further... I've been pricing out new TV's and looking at the plasma's and researching energy consumption, they shouldn't be that bad. They are jacked up a bit yes, but it's pretty much the same amount of power used as those older cabinet style TV's... now who remembers those?!

You're fucking stupid.....seriously a 600u draws 525W.

Using THIS i figured out something thats 500W would cost you 1.27 a day. Thats about $40 a month...which isn't even $1400 A YEAR!

You're an F-ing tard

Come on now; thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Hydroponic Dope growers dont even rack up that sort of bill; get real with that pricing man.

Turn off the hash growing lights, put the Bong in the cupboard for a few months, stop watching sports stoned and read a book - something by Chomsky to get you started. :wink:

If he actually got that bill, it was in error. If he actually paid it, it's his own fcuking fault for having the IQ of a sock.
