[OOC] General

[Van Mutsuhito]

Wow, that's pretty old. Hhm... I'd only had my computer since I was eight... and then, we just put it into storage when I was... fourteen I think. Since then... we've practically sold ourselves to Dell. -_- But that's good, it's a nice summer present then.  

[Cevian]

Ok, this is a hade-me-down from my dad, it have little free memory, the keyboard is messed up, and it is partly melted.  

[Van Mutsuhito]

Oh.. I see. Hhm... well, you could always do the next best thing: make your own computer. 3nodding Personally, I don't think I could do it myself... I'm more of an Internet savvy; I don't know all that much about how a computer functions, let alone a calculator. But... they usually allow students in college and high school to go about calculator and computer fabricating endeavors.  

[Cevian]

Well I would if I:
1. had money
2. my dad would let me
3. had the phone number of my friend who could put it together and Over Clock it.  

[Van Mutsuhito]

Oh, I see. Hmm... well, you could put that into future consideration. But until then, you still have the hand-me-down. I'm guessing that money would still be an issue, even for trying to revamp either computers?  

[Cevian]

Well my dad promised me a new computer before school starts, and he will keep this promise, last promise like this he didn't keep almost cost him 250$.  

[Van Mutsuhito]

Lol, really?? Did you guys make a bet?  

[Cevian]

No, two years ago, Christmas nof 2003, mhe said that over the break he would let me rent a PS2, he never did, I now own a PS2...but I got the PS2 as a gift, so he got out of the hot water.  

[Senquis]

Buwah, sorry for the wait Cevian.  

[Van Mutsuhito]

Oh, he's lucky for that then. Heh... but I've never gotten that much money out of a forgotten or even broken promise. ^-^;; Still, I like being smug about it, giving me somewhat of an advantage over my mom at times. But I'm not cruel about it, I love my mom. heart

My computer makes me think of this song by "Wierd Al" Yankovic:

((NOTE: Lyrics in ITALICS are sung by a female vocalist.))

It's all about the Pentiums, baby
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
It's all about the Pentiums, baby
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
Yeah

What y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
Workin' at a desk with a dumb little placard?
Yeah, payin' the bills with my mad programming skills
Defraggin' my hard drive for thrills
I got me a hundred gigabytes of RAM
I never feed trolls and I don't read spam
Installed a T1 line in my house
Always at my PC, double-clickin' on my mizouse
Upgrade my system at least twice a day
I'm strictly plug-and-play, I ain't afraid of Y2K
I'm down with Bill Gates, I call him "Money" for short
I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support
It's all about the Pentiums, what?
You've gotta be the dumbest newbie I've ever seen
You've got white-out all over your screen
You think your Commodore 64 is really neato
What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?
You're usin' a 286? Don't make me laugh
Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
You're the biggest joke on the Internet
Your database is a disaster
You're waxin' your modem, tryin' to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet you're still livin' in your parents' cellar
Downloadin' pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar
And postin' "Me too!" like some brain-dead AOL-er
I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller

It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)

Now, what y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?

Uh, uh, loggin' in now
Wanna run wit my crew, hah?
Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got 'em printed out on my bedsheets
My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique
Your laptop is a month old? Well that's great
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
My digital media is write-protected
Every file inspected, no viruses detected
I beta tested every operating system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed 'em
While your computer's crashin', mine's multitaskin'
It does all my work without me even askin'
Got a flat-screen monitor forty inches wide wide
I believe that your says "Etch-A-Sketch" on the side
In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user
You've got your own newsgroup, "alt.total-loser"
Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax
Where'd you get your CPU, in a box of Cracker Jacks?
Play me online? Well, you know that I'll beat you
If I ever meet you I'll control-alt-delete you
What? What? What? What? What?

It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
It's all about the Pentiums! (It's all about the Pentiums, baby)
Now, what y'all wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? Code crackers? Slackers
Wastin' time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin' at Hewlett Packard?
What??  

[Van Mutsuhito]

Aawww, your computer makes you think of cool songs. Mine just reminds me of a turtle giving birth. xp Still, I love Weird Al Yankovic, I like his parodies. xd Hmm... no italics.  

[Senquis]

*Nods in agreement with Van Mutsuhito* There are no lyrics in italics o_O;;

Maybe you meant "brackets"  

[Cevian]

sorry, Italics didn't copy  

[Van Mutsuhito]

Oh, they wouldn't, not if you had copied them from text on another website (or anywhere really, without a code at least). You'd have to apply italics manually here.
