People often say things to me like: "Hey, I have a 60" plasma tv!", and I usually respond with something like "Wow, that's awesome!", having no idea just how big a 60" tv is.

Well, today we brought home (to the new home) our new 55" tv. (We had a coupon.) For those of you that still have normal sized televisions, let me frame some reference for you.

55" is 5" short of five feet.

This tv is slightly wider than your average fifth grader is tall.

That's right, my tv is Bigger Than A Fifth Grader.

For those who need more of a visual representation, I've gone and got a union member (he represents the Lollipop Guild. The Lollipop Guild. The Lollipop Guild) to compare to our new LG tv.
