Well, in college people comment on how old school my TV was, as I had my Lyceum TV as my main set. I just said that they don't make them like this anymore, so everyone got a kick out of it. During the summers, I was security assistant in a residence hall, so when I would find TVs during summer trash pick-up, I had one friend in particular help carry these super heavy RCA sets up 3 flights of stairs within my dorm building. He was all about helping me, and got a kick out of seeing me rescue these TVs that I was so obsessed with (plus, the fact that they were working perfectly fine). No beer pouring was allowed inside my TVs!
