I long for computers to blow up.
No, not really. But on Star Trek, when a computer dies, it dies in a shower of sparks and a satisfying array of booms and bams and puffs of smoke. Whereas in real life, when a computer dies, it just silently and unsatisfyingly goes fffft and ruins your life.
So I mentioned this to a co-worker and she says
“Oh, you should have smelled my senior project.”
There’s a phrase you rarely hear.
When a computer dies in my house, there’s almost always a shower of sparks and an array of booms and bams and puffs of smoke. But it’s all from my boyfriend, i.e. “Evn… what… did… you… download?!“
Heh.
Have you ever heard the ‘Click of Death’?
I’m not as familiar with the ‘Click of Death’ as I am the ‘Click of Fuck’:
The Computer – “Click.”
Me – “Fuck.”
