Into the 20th century

So Wednesday night I'm hanging out in my apartment, watching a little TV and the picture goes a little fuzzy. (Oh, yeah, I'm one of those people who doesn't believe in paying for cable so I still fight with my TV antenna every night. :-) ) So, I start playing with the antenna and nothing seems to be helping. While I'm standing over my TV, I notice some cables that are laying on the floor. I remember when I moved in there were cables everywhere and not knowing what they were, I pretty much just pushed them to the edge of the wall and placed my furniture in front of them. But, I figured, what the heck, I might as well plug them in and see if it helps the reception - thinking they were probably connected to the antenna on top of the building. And just like that - I suddenly have cable! There's no stopping me now!
