LOL Computer Troubles
Oh yeah i almost forgot !
Check this, i have some neighboors across the street that dont know nothing about computers
Since i am a network admin people come to me about there computer problems.
They purchased some sort cable modem and stuff from comcast.
The guy and his wife attempted to put in the ethernet card and all that good stuff when they noticed that the computer was extremely dusty inside. You know how that goes, sitting in a corner for 4 or 5 years the computer is bound to be dirty.
They told me that the computer was smoking and sparked when they attempted to power it on.
Instead of using a CO2 Can to blow all that dust out they used something more effective
!
A garden hose !
Flushed all the dirt out and dried it with a towel and let it sit open in the sun for a few days in 80 degree temps for a tan.
Even the power supply !
Good thing a little kid wasn't in the area, they would of kept flicking the switch.
Got a good Buzzing

Well in short, it was a Friday night and we all were drinking A LOT. My friends room is directly across from the restroom. Around 3:30 am, a guy from down the hall who was passed out the entire night finally woke. He kinda woke up...lol He was sleep walking (so he says, cause he didn't remember ****). He came out of his room, walked to my friends room, opend the door, stood in front of the computer and just whipped it out.
We were all in shock and then my friend just grabbed him and pushed him out the room. It was **** everywhere. Over his cell, papers, everything on the desk basically...lol He's still using the same **** covered computer. YUCK!, but he was using Lysol for days before he decided to use it again.

while we're talking about pissing
I was at the G. Love/ 311 show at Penn's Landing on Sunday and right in the middle of the G's set some kid says to the people around him "Dude watch out I'm just going here". We were right up front so everybody was already packed in there. The guy went so far as to pull out all his junk, nuts and all, and just pisses as everyone pushes away in a circle. Needless to say it was ****** sick and it took way too long to get security to escort him out of there. Still was funny considering I was far enough to not get pissed on.
