[color=#000000ost_uid0]My Treacle Beast-class machine is called HellSPAWN.

The SPAWN is an acronym:

Stupid - because it does stupid things
Pansy-Arsed - because isn't machine enough to do much of anything (166 MHz processor, 32 MB RAM, 1 gig main HD, 400 meg auxilliary HD, total storage 1.4ish gigs. Kill me now)
Wanker - I like to work in British slang wherever possible
Nerdbox - any machine coveted by nerds: computers, dvd players, etc

from hell.

Plus, it allows me to yell, "I dub thee SPAWN!" and then I get a delicious Spawn/McFarlane reference. McFarlane is actually from near where I live.

Woo!

Two exclamation marks? You're skating on thin ice, lassie *g*

Technically, you should break a bottle of synthale over the case. The performance of your Enterprise computer depends on who you've got running around its innards keeping things running: a nine-fingered Scotsman, a blind guy with a hair band on his face or a Texan who can't drive.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I named my laptop 'Morn'.

It seems to sit there and do nothing, even when you want it to. Tends to be very sluggish. It starts working wonderfully when nobody else is around.

On another note, my debut fiver is almost done! Or should I say...it will be done "soon"?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Actually, risky. If I christen my compy enterprise it might never work properly for me again O.o;

Adding multiple exclaimation marks is a chronic disease of mine! Oh no! I'm doomed.

I'm sure I could find a medical condition to blame that on, like.... uhmm.... there was this syndrome which makes people suddenly compulsively yell out in public. can't remember name...

Oh yes, Tourette's Syndrome.

Yeah I have that and every now and then I get the compulsion to YELL REALLY LOUDLY!!

*does not dare put more than 2 exclaimation marks*

[color=#000000ost_uid0]It's a Zeke thing. Plus, I also object to anything approaching AOHellspeek.

At least this never happens:

[quoteost_uid0="31337 h4x0r"]j00 sux0rz!!![/quoteost_uid0]

If so, I would abandon the Hammer of Smiting and go straight to the Wakizashi of Skewering. [/colorost_uid0]

Coated with horseradish.

Let us not forget the Mallet of Fiving. Why's it called that? Because after an application of it, you're reduced ('accordionised' ) to one twelfth of your former height. On higher settings, you go from forumgoer to forumgore.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I would mention the Kipper of Thwapping, but it was starting to smell so I had to throw it away.

Ah well. Maybe someday I'll get a proper computer that doesn't slow to a crawl if I try to have more than two things open at once (it only has an Intel Celery processor - so called because it has exactly the same processing power as the vegtable of the same name).[/colorost_uid0]

I could guess, but no, I don't know off the top of my head.

That reminds me of the time Zuke showed up and became indignant over my referring to him as the eggplant that he is. I was going to do a take-off on whoever's reaction to Chakotay's cameo in the "Broken Bow" fiver, and I highly suspected that it was in the first Ent fiver, but somehow I managed to skim past it. I scanned through a handful of other episodes before I just gave up and *gasp* came up with something original.

By the way, I haven't been watching the episodes; could anyone tell me whether Archer decided to get the water polo net or whatever? :S Just curious.

*watches as innocent-bystanding newbies--and even a few old-timers--go into confusion-induced seizures * [/colorost_uid0]
