Technical Rockabilly

I was at Wal-Mart last night and I saw an odd looking couple pushing a cart full of corn oil.. Like 25+ gallons of corn oil. And atop this oil they had probably 50 or so bananas. They were shifty, very quiet, and looked very much like they were suffering from malnutrition… I don’t think much of it until I am checking out, and they are in line in front of me.. and thats all they have… Corn oil and bananas… They pay, pull their cart forward and gather their things. Then the dude does what I was hoping they weren’t doing. He peels open a banana and takes a bite. Next thing I know they are just stuffing their mouths with bananas and chugging corn oil! Seriously, WTF? Is this some whack cult fixation on only eating products that are or were yellow? Why don’t they have twinkies in that case? Some crazy diet? I fear I may never know. If anyone reading this can inform me just what this banana-corn-oil-eating cult madness is, I would very much appreciate it.

I installed Vista Business edition on my machine 2 days ago… So far I have had 2 reboots without my asking, while I was in the middle of work. 150+ “Cancel or Allow”s.. 2 blue screens, 6 incompatible applications, and an update configuration that took nearly 35 minutes on a system with dual 3.2Ghz CPUs and 4GB RAM. This is a real flop. Very pretty, but there is very little that should take my machine 35 minutes to do. There is just too much down time in this OS for me to consider it a viable option for my everyday geeking… Back to Ubuntu.

Me: “Novell Services, this is Troy, may I have your name please?”
Cu:”19003982397″

Cu:”Long distance. 19003982397″
Me:”I’m not sure what you mean. Are you trying to call Novell?”
Cu:”19003982397, dial it. Now.”
Me:”I’m sorry sir I can not dial that number for you.”
Cu:”Fuck you then, ain’t this a call-up sex talk number?”
Me:”No sir, it is not.”
