When will HD googles make their appearance for home theatre?

pairs for this purpose. Previous viewing goggles have been low
resolution with annoying lag-times thanks to primitive LCD
technology. But it would be a good idea, providing isolation from
distracting environments around conventional screens or video
projections and (ideally) the best possible view of a source
material. They would also be much cheaper than high-grade, large-
sized TV screens as well as being portable.

While this thread has wandered off into multiple
diversions, I googled HD goggles and got multiple
opportunities to watch demos of ski goggles that
can record a run as a movie -- looked high enough
definition to impress me. And I started to wonder
whether people have tried buying a pair, wearing them
all day (with sufficient battery power backup)
and producing a private version of The Truman Show.

_Then_ I went back to the original question about
_frigging_ 3D goggles, and thought about making
POV movies about one's sexual experiences
(preferably those involving at least one partner) ...

All the longing for these goggles raises the question of whether
'frigging' is an adjective or a gerund...


frigging in the rigging is a verb.

frigging in the rigging is a verb.



And also an extremely hazardous practice on a sailing ship,
especially in rough weather.

Pointing facts out to Rich isn't dangerous, but is is frigging in the
rigging.
