How TWC is like your girlfriend a.ka. "Why can't I see the Packer game"?

[Mags]

Here we have good 'ole hard working Joe, who, when returning home from work Thursday night,  gets home, and begins talking with his girlfriend "TWC":

Joe:  Honey, I'm home.  I don't know about you, but I've been looking forward to tonight ALL week:  Let's have  a BIG Thursday night – with plenty of sweaty, no holds barred, action – with a few beers thrown in to help with the mood!  Remember, I like it loud!"

TWC:  I'm sorry, honey, but I'm not in the mood tonight.  You can have your beers, but no action for you tonight.  You'll just have to wait until Sunday.

Joe:  But that's not fair!  I've been waiting all week, and I'm all excited and ready to go!

TWC:  You'll just have to wait 3 more days then.

Joe:  But I've never been forced to go without before!  It won't be the same on Sunday.  I want it now!  It is my God given right to have it anytime I want!

TWC:  No, it is not your "God given right".  We all have choices in life – I choose not to provide it to you tonight.  It is MY choice, NOT yours.   You can make your own choices.

Joe:  Hmm, so I can go find another partner and replace you, eh?  What if she is not as good as you?  What if she doesn't have better features than you?  What if she costs me more money than you?  Bottom line, honey, I'm SCARED to leave you – you are all I've ever known and I've been with you forever!  Can't you just give it to me tonight and we'll forget about all of this?

TWC:  You can cry and whine all you want, but you are not getting it tonight.  There are a lot of guys out there who are not getting it tonight.  You can wait until Sunday.  I make the rules, so deal with it.  AND – go ahead and find someone better – I dare you!  See if I care!

Joe (he thinks to himself):  Maybe I CAN find someone better?  Someone who will let me have it anytime I want it!  And she may have better features – and not cost me as much money!  What was I thinking?  Change is good – time for a new "provider" (hee hee)

Joe:  Fine, you are out of here!  I'm done with your substandard features – you have gotten fat and haven't taken care of yourself (by adding more HD channels).  I'll make some calls and have a new partner to replace you soon!

TWC:  FINE!  See you later loser!  You'll be back – you wait and see!

Joe made the change, found a new girlfriend/provider and lived happily ever after!

Moral of the story?  Don't be afraid of change – Joe wasn't – and now he "gets it" all the time!

"Why can't I see the Packer game"?

I assume you are still in the Milwaukee DMA and can get it on WISN via TWC?
Just hop in bed with WISN.

Yes, I'm in Milwaukee, but have had D* since 1994 so it wasn't an issue.

This is more of a tongue in cheek joke for those people who remain loyal to TWC, even though they haven't given them what they've deserved for many years.

I mean, if you girlfriend wasn't "putting out" and giving you what you wanted, you'd replace her in a heartbeat.  But people are soooo afraid to leave TWC.

So, I was just trying to be lighthearted and lighten the mood a little - maybe get a few laughs...
