Woot : One Day, One Deal (SM)

When you plug in the refurbished Philips Upconverting DVD Player with DivX and HDMI he left you in his will (which was more of a stained cocktail napkin with words scrawled on it), you?ll feel closer to the man who you only recently found out was your father than you ever have before. ?Maybe this gift was his way of trying to make a connection,? you think to yourself as you easily connect the player to your television via the HDMI digital output cable. You won?t be able to help but wonder if his spirit is in the room with you at that very moment, watching you pour over the features, like 1080i upconversion, 12-bit/108MHz video processing, Progressive Scan, and ability to playback CDs, (S)VCDs, DVDs, DVD+R/RWs, DVD-R/RWs, DivX, MP3 and JPEG files.

Open the box containing his DVD collection, close your eyes, and call out to your dead father?s ghost. ?Ralph? I mean, Father! If you are here, guide my hand and choose a movie for us to watch together!? Slowly, lower your hand into the box and grab the first DVD you touch. Pull it out of the box and open your eyes.

?Really?? you ask Ral? Dad?s ghost. ?The Adventures of Ford Fairlane?? You wonder if your father wasn?t a bit of a misogynist. Maybe that?s why Mom took you and your brothers from him so many years ago. ?Come on, Pop. Pick another movie.?

Close your eyes again and pull out another movie. ?Showgirls?! You can?t be serious.?

On the third try, your father?s ghost will nudge you into pulling out Curly Sue and what little respect you had for the man you knew as Dad for all of two weeks will have faded away. Better buy some sage and cleanse the house before his bad taste in movies curses you forever.
