Please.. someone tell me that they're as disturbed by this as I am

"Best seat in the house

For the ultimate indulgence, Jacuzzi's La Scala two person whirlpool bath, $29,000, encases a 42-inch high-definition plasma TV monitor. With a DVD and CD player tucked into the side and surround-sound speakers buried beneath the porcelain, there's no question you're in for a marathon soak. Need more incentive to forgo buying that new power car for a tub? Try Internet access and video monitoring, both controllable from a floating remote and waterproof wireless keyboard."

You can see the little rascal here. Oy vey. I mean, I like a good soak, but....

that *you* of all people would be disturbed at the thought of being able to check your email from the hot tub, i just find tremendously amusing :)

[hel_ana]

That's cause you don't understand the root of my email thing.

::shrugs::

It's a two person tub. If I had it, the *last* thing I would be doing would be watching tv/checking my email.

I want one!

[hel_ana]

Of course you do.

:P

What can I say? I love extravagant techno stuff. Wonder if you can hook your own computer to that tub ... the thought of a PowerMac G5 hooked to a waterproof monitor and keyboard in a hot tub makes me smile. It'd make my video editing projects all that much more fun ^_^

*drool*
I've been known to soak in the tub for an hour or so when I'm not feeling well. Book in hand, glass of wine or mug of tea next to the tub (depending on why I'm not feeling well) and candles lit.

With this sucker I'd be in there for the evening...

*sigh*

Oh well, someday when I'm rich.

in the tub for an hour with a book, oh yeah, I'm totally there with you. well.. not with you as in *there*, but more in a "down with the idea" sense..

but anyway... it just seems so excessive to me... 30K?!?!?!? USD!?!?! That's like 40K of my money. And I can't imagine that being 5 feet away from a 42" plasma screen would be the optimal viewing experience, ya know?

[singingwolf.livejournal.com]

Well, no... not unless you're the type who has to be in the front row of the theater...

But to be able to soak, in a whirlpool, while caving into my internet addiction... hrm... tempting, no?

And think, once we're multi millionaires, 30K, USD, will look like nothing...

[hel_ana]

strangely enough (and arnora's going to laugh her butt off at this one) I find the idea more disturbing than tempting..

about as disturbing as the idea of checking your email at Pennsic, and for kinda the same reasons, if you know what I mean.

As a tangent from that (and Arnora, this is an FYI for you, too) Gulf Wars probably isn't ever going to be on my "possibility" list.. given that my birthday falls right smack in between the two kids' birthdays, March isn't looking good for big camping events miles from home. ::sighs::

Egads that's a lot of money but dang...I am *drooling* at the idea of a jacuzzi/hot tub.

[hel_ana]

oh my yes.. a two person one at that.. (as long as it has a faucet that I can't slam into as I get up, eh, love?)

I want one! I want one!
