This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

"Someone came in shitfaced drunk, got angry, went berserk, and fucked up a lot of stuff. There's an outage on 40 or so racks at minimum"

As explanations/excuses for service failures go, this is aces. As explanations/excuses for getting fired go, also aces.

Power outages aren't nearly as funny.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

This should go in Tech, but I need an answer (if I can get one) as quickly as I can.

What do I do if the display on the laptop has rotated 90 degrees?

Mmm. Bacon.

Now, why you gotta be a hater?

Oo, this happened to a coworker once! Unfortunately, I can't remember the key combo to fix it. Hmm...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Smells like bullshit, as the commenters note. I don't know why Valleywag ran with it, when it's contradicted by the bare fact of other power outages in the area.

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

I'm a lover, Lee, nothing but a lover.

You are the hater.

DJ, what kind of laptop? eta: Polgara, does that work on most laptops? I've never even heard of it.

Man, the top of my skull wants to go home something awful.
