How TFTS saved the day

Many years ago.... dear god, this story doesn't make sense anymore.

Previous to pretty much all TV's being LCD panels. Back when lots of people had tube TV's (this only makes sense if you understand it was a tube)

I was at a buddies house watching a movie.

So, I am watching the movie and in the upper corner of the screen is this green blob. It is annoying me. I politely sit there and watch, and watch and watch....

Till I couldn't deal with it anymore.

I stood up, walked over to the TV, took the magnetic toy off the top of it and the green blob goes away.

My buddy kind of sits there, considers it then says, 'How the fuck did you know to do that???'

I was like, 'What remove the magnet?'

He says, 'Yeah, that green blob has been there for a year driving me nuts. You just stood up and took the thing off and it goes away! That is amazing!'.

~sigh~
