Hmmm… fascinating…
oh, excuse me, PIPES, am I taking too long for you?
Orko forbid I focus my attention away from you for a few minutes, right? I can’t possibly have matters of consequence unrelated to typing things at you, can I? Would you like it if I nudged the mouse once in a while? Yes, you would, you fickle, fickle fool! And what’s that even accomplish? You just want me to acknowledge your presence, is that it? Well sometimes the world doesn’t work like that! You can’t have validation every step of the way, computer! You’re such an exaggerator. “Download these urgent updates! Restart me! Oh sweet Rub-A-Doc, someone save my screen!” Pathetic. Your screen is fine, aside from the horizontal lines that stream off from high contrast areas. Have you been cutting again, computer? And as far as your updates are concerned, I can’t see what they’re accomplishing, other than packing on a few extra megabytes. Stop being such a slob! Do you want iMac to see you like this? You’re a mess, computer. You need help. But the only person who can help you is yourself.
And you can stop checking the spelling on my html code! Those aren’t meant to be proper words!

Sorry, the comment form is apologizing at this time.
Yamamanama sez:
You’d think they’d have spell checks that understand html.
As for screen savers, I hate when they do that.
Mxy sez:
I too wish they wouldn’t insist on saving my screen. If I’m putting it in peril, it’s because I have my reasons.
Eels Macinstrudel sez:
To Yanomamo: I would think that especially so, as the spell-checking mechanism is built into the firefox browser, which reads html. Although “firefox” and “html” are also apparently misspelled, so it may be a more sinister matter than I initially feared.
To Mxy: You are a brave patriot. The Department of Homeland Security would honor you were you a resident of the proper homeland. As the matter stands, you shall be terminated swiftly and efficiently, o dastardly scheming outsider.
Yamamanama sez:
What are the suggestions for firefox and html?
Eels Macinstrudel sez:
It doesn’t even give suggestions for the words! It just underlines them! It doesn’t tell me how a thing’s wrong, just that it is. A perfect allegory for much of my life, actually. How dare it mock me in such a way!

Where’s the beet?
