Pimp My Box
I'm sitting here flippin' channels and I came across 'Trick My Truck' on CMT (yes, the Country Music Television station). Normally, I wouldn't even stop on CMT, but I kinda dig those fixemup shows.
And, it got me thinking...there should be a geek show called Pimp My Box where a band of computer geeks go around to people's houses and pimp out their computers.
Alienware, Falcon NW, and all the rest would be amateur hour compared to these guys.
The scene would be like this:
An unassuming middle-aged man sits home in his boxers and a greasy t-shirt, beer in one hand, keyboard in the other. The glow of a crappy 15' monitor illuminates the room.
All of a sudden, the door flies open and in a haze of cheap cologne and poor fashion sense, stand the PMB Krew.
"We're here to Pimp Your Box!" they yell, sportin' large hard drives, LCD monitors, high-end graphics cards, and a water-cooling system.
Of course, Mr. Unassuming has since hit the floor, thinking it was another raid. And, he's soiled himself. And, it was all caught on film. You know, for that reality TV flava we all know and love.
Yeah, maybe it's not such a great idea after all.
Bah.

I would totally write to that show.
"Dear Pimp My Box,
I'm currently running an 8086 at 9 Mhz with CGA graphics. My friends tell me my box is whack.
Can you please hook me up with something that shows more than 4 colors?"
Yet another great TV show idea from M!...er, Lex...yeah, Lex that is!
