"Every time I get on FR and forget about it being on , the darn thing starts smelling and smoking."Mine did too. But I found that if I switched to the "Clean" channel one a month, it solved the problem.
Does your TV get hot?

Both should be charged. The perp for fraud and theft, the buyer for felony stupid.

Ha, this happened to a friend of mine about 20 years ago. Someone shrink wrapped some old turntables and a piece of plastic to look like a remote. They then put the ad images of the VCR they were supposedly selling on the outside of the 'remote' and 'VCR'. They wouldn't let them inspect the 'VCRs' because they wanted to leave them in brand new condition. They went to an ATM took out money and were pretty PO'd at the time since the sellers vanished.
Another friend's dad was a cop and he just laughed at them what did they expect for the price? Incidentally, they got greedy and bought 5 'VCRs'.

I once had a car door that I used in lieu of air conditioning. When the weather got hot, I simply rolled down the window.

No. I only have a hot plate, but occasionally the other winos and I get lucky and the library staff leaves their breakroom door unlocked.
We ruined their microwave thawing a pigeon once.

Beats having to put quarters into those TV sets down at the laundromat. Maybe, but I love watching the Laundry Channel.

Yep.
I never had an oven door on the wall of my living room, but I had my tv in my fireplace.
Had a video of a fire in a fireplace.... it was amazing.... when it was playing, you actually felt warm where the light hit you...
