Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What are kernal bugs?

Popcorn mites.

What is even happening?

We did a production of Really Rosy in elementary school, but we had a number from Pierre, and one from Where the Wild Things Are.

I can still remember the Pierre one, even though I never read the story.

There once was a boy named Pierre
Who only would say, "I don't care."
Read his story, my friend
And you'll find at the end
That a beautiful moral, lies there.
One day, his mother said
...

Okay, I'll stop. But I think that was 4th grade. I wonder what information I'm unable to retain, because those brain cells are already full.

I never had issues with total strangers watching me nurse. It was acquaintences that made ME uncomfortable. People I sort of knew, but not well, but that I would have to look in the eye again at some point. This, of course, was a total ME thing.

This is probably where I, as an observer, get uncomfortable. Strangers don't ping. Friends and relatives don't ping. It's acquaintances who ping. Isn't that funny?

Totally appropriate pairing, as I only know Pierre from the animated special they did for Really Rosy.

OK, they're bugs associated with a computer's operating system. I think the term is only applied to Unix and related systems (Linux, OS X).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I swear, the guy acted like I told him there was no Santa Claus when I explained to him why he couldn't collect ifOutOctets statistics for an X4100 running Solaris 10.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude, your octets are fucked? That's hard core.

ifOutOctets

Heh, I read that as ifOutOcelots. Which I'm sure would be a lot more fun.

The octets are fine, you just can't count them.

Yeah, it's bad enough when your quadrets are fucked.
