Posting Disaster Sparks Creation of Inciting New Organization

I regret to inform you that the computer ate my post for today.

It has been giving me trouble all weekend and I may have to put it down, so if you hear the sound of a shotgun in the distance don’t be alarmed.

I am only practicing the Humane Treatment of Unruly Digital Devices.

In fact, I may have to start an entire organization to promote HTUDD.

Would you join an group like HTUDD? Or do you prefer a different organization? Call in now, comments forms are standing by.

Count me in. My computer has not only eaten my posts, it ate my hamster! I’m inconsolable.

I find a good beating usually sorts out any mechanical device, and also works a charm on man-servants.

Please salvage your post by Wednesday or I’ll send in the little comma kamikazes.

Just do it quickly to minimize the pain — a jack hammer is the prefered method.

(I’m picturing little commas on planes buzzing around the Big Comma of the Ominous Comma Banner, “Make me laugh or I’m comin’ in!”)

Shouldn’t it be comma-kazis? They would pause briefly before hurtling to their doom.

Debbie 06.25.07 at 5:12 pm

“…comma-kazis pausing briefly before hurling to their doom.”

Oh that’s good Diesel.

rjlight 06.25.07 at 6:52 pm

Very good, Diesel you just won the caption contest!

rjlight 06.25.07 at 6:52 pm

oh, oops, this isn’t my blog

Brent,
I am part of another .org already. PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals). Having said that, I am going to have to warn you, again, that AAAAA will not tolerate the creation of anymore acronyms.

RJ,
I am bereft of the power of speech due to uncontrollable fits of laughter. If you are going to take command of this blog, you must use your power cautiously. Not everyone is in the proper shape to handle it.

Brent 06.25.07 at 8:03 pm

Chris,
Acronyms are in my blood. They cause clots and occasional blockages but they’re in there for good.

Chris 06.25.07 at 8:19 pm

Yes, the Corps will do that to you. Check your comma mail, I sent you something. Don’t worry, its not any comma-kazis. Not this time anyway. btw, I think a few comma-kazis in the banner thingy would be super.

“Humane Treatment of Unruly Digital Devices”

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of sending them to Guantanamo Bay for a little “enhanced interrogation”.

Brent 06.25.07 at 9:45 pm

Oh yes, I feel my PC is worthy of extraordinary rendition.

Lynn 06.26.07 at 2:18 am

Now, Brent you know that you should take out your frustrations on the dog, not the digital device.

Brent 06.27.07 at 6:46 am

The dog stopped eating my assignments long ago.

Hey Anon, you have good taste.
