Aaand the Dinklemeyer:
This strip continues the “Freddy gets detention story.” Again, it is very much based on something that happened to me in the 6th grade. In fact, the teacher in this strip is very much based on the my 6th grade teacher. (I got in trouble for someone stealing my book and leaving it in the middle of the floor).
My computer blew up
You're like an action hero or something.
Hey Phil.
I'm back for a short while.
Packing my suitcase.
Oh...we're going to miss you so much!
Really?!
Naaaaaaw.
The sunshine of our thread is gone!
It will be a dark thread indeed.
Yeah, that's what it'll be like, except without the sun.
I'm hanging out while I re-format my laptop. I pulled it out of storage, fired it up and discovered that when I had put it away over a year ago, I left it password protected. I'll be damned if I remembered what it was. I tried 10 different ones and none worked. So now I'm re-formatting the whole friggin thing.
My goodnes.
Next time, don't leave it password protected.
And yes...that's what the thread'll be like.
I don't even remotely remember putting a password on it. There was nothing important on it anyway. All the data got moved to this computer. All I want to do is use it to dump some digital photos on. Didn't think it would take this long. Argh!
Ahh...the wonders of the cyber age.
It's at 61%.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
Okay, is it done NOW?
Well I guess it's time for the archives.
It's done. And all to no avail. Turns out the battery that goes in the digital camera is MIA and it's too late to buy a new one. Oh well. Little Laptop and Empty Camera are staying home.
OOPS. Did I just un-archive you? :P
No, when I say that it just means that I've added it to the archives on my home page.
Ah.
SO I'm making a small pizza before I hit the hay. I just realized I hadn't had din din yet. D'oh!
Our refrigerator tore up. Oh no! It's pretty bad...all our food is spoiling until we get another one.
What!!! Oh no!!! :(
Quick, fire up the grill!
