Sad Good-byes

[13788]

H8Monga: My dvd player and stereo both have a good-bye message when I turn them off. It's kinda sad. They gave my electrics some kind of personality and when not in use they miss me even if I am still sitting in front of them! This isn't as bad as quitting Sim City for the SNES which to me had a very sad good-bye message.
I just want to say to my electronics, I'M HERE! Don't cry. I'll use you again very soon. Maybe you should say "See ya later!" because "Good-bye" sounds so final.

mindseye: Heh. Does your computer ever ask, "Are you sure you want to shut me down, you heartless bastard?"

H8Monga: How'd you know?! ???

I've replaced my AOL "Goodbye" .wav file with the sound of a toilet flushing.

The "Welcome" is now the Big Bopper saying, "Helloooo, Baby!" (for a while I had the Three Stooges doing their "Helloooo, Helloooo, Hellooooo!" schtick.

And the "You've got mail!" is now Shaggy saying, "Zoinks! You've got mail!"

*By "style", we mean camp.

H8Monga: Nah they don't hate you. There there. You just need to get to know them. Sing to them. Talk to them. Rub their metallic or plastic boxy forms. Tell them how you like it... yeah... I like it.. you like? Oh yeah.. uh huh oh yeah... :

I always thought the local red light district was the most normal bet! ;-)

 

[13788]

H8Monga: I don't think we have one of those stores here... :'(

ORCABOMBER: Oh yes, Soho is famous in London for that.

It's pretty boring during the day though. Somehow the thought of women being reduced to meat doesn't appeal to me. I think their value is somewhat greater than an extremely expensive hamburger! ;D

H8Monga: Isn't very expenisve hamburger steak? :

And get one for those programmers too; who needs a "Good-bye" message some other waste of memory? Gates's Law.
