HEY! HEY! LOOKIE! LOOKIE AT THE LOOKIE LOO! (Too much Ellen Degeneres Show for me) I'M BAAAAACK!

My dad wiped the hard drive, and and we have ALL this space! YAY! But we have IE 5 and like the oldest MSN ever, so I have to update that. Working on MSN, gonna get IE working soon so I can stop glaring at the menu at the top of LJ that's all messed up.

Scot sent me the funniest friggin' e-mail I've read in FOREVER. It was a reply to my 'please help me fix the internet!' e-mail, and he ended up ranting so much...he's the greatest...

Dagnabbit! I missed the Google monkeys!

Hmmm, google is a number so I guess the phrase "google monkeys" can mean that number of monkeys just like myriad (and the proper use is not "a myriad of..." but rather just "myraid..." even though dictionaries, as they will do, have bowed to the popular usage thing and allowed such use to be known as proper even though it's wrong - you see, myriad actually means ten thousand and so one wouldn't say "a ten thousand of monkeys flew outta my butt" and expect to be understood but instead would say "ten thousand monkeys flew outta my butt" and would be understood...just disbelieved and thought daft!) could be used to say "myriad monkeys". I suppose it should hinge upon the capitalization of "google" to diferentiate between the website or the huge number (you know, Google monkeys vs. google monkeys). Pointless mundane musings (okay, banal blatherings) are my bane!

Although I haven't had any such probs, I've heard of AdAware ditching files it thought were bad...but they shoulda been stuck into quarantine from where they could be recovered.

***************************************
I thought of a possible fix for IE: Open Control Panel then open Add/Remove Programs and select Microsoft Internet Explorer X (6?) then click the Add/Remove button below the list. A window should pop up with options to 1)Add a component, to B)Repair IE or to III)Restore the previous Windows configuration. I suggest the second (B) option for repair but that could prove fruitless and if so the next choice would be to (III) Restore the previous Windows config. This SHOULD revert back to IE whaterverversionwasinstalledbeforethecurrentversion (5?). But if system files got shim show gai gwanned (yep, made it up) then, of course this is fu-tile.
***************************************

Of course this could all be too dang late, the process of restoring the HD has begun and all Hell has broken loose with little gremlins running around inside the box, sparks flying, noise, smoke and funny smells (from the computer!). Then there is the wimpering or sobbing as well as wringing of hands and general uneasiness and anxiety from anyone in the immediate vicinity. Will it never end?! Oh the humanity! Please, make it stop! Make it go AWAY! It's the end of the world as we know it...oops, looks like I got cought up in the momentous moment. Or may I'm just a tad daft, meself.

I'ma gonna check to see if I can d/l IE to burn onto a CD in case y'all ain't done the dreaded deed (and why the Helck is "ain't" apostrophized...er written as an apostrophic term/word/phrase/whatever it is...if doing so would indicate two REAL words had been combined when "ain't" ain't a REAL WORD?! breathecountbreathe...breathe...whew Well, it's not a contraction of real words, really. Basically it's "are not" condensed and corrupted. www.m-w.com So I think something like "fart not" meaning something like "sure as Hell not" could be "fain't" so when asked, "Are you about done with your rant (or tirade)?" I could say, "I'm fain't through. Hell, I ain't even started!" Or when asked by someone paricularly annoying, "If you could be anyone else who would it be?" then I could reply, "Fain't you!" Of course in that context it also could mean "freakin' ain't you". Wow what a versatile made-up-on-the-spot-by-the-Spot-word.) uh, where was I, oh yah-uh, done it yet...

You know, I should maybe just put parentheses around the whole text next time. Next text hexed and vexed, complex, cross-indexed, out of specs. and context with abject effects of Chinese dialects, brain defects, flexed pecs and insects plus all aspects and prospects of aftereffects from defects in common objects and detects then expects, selects, accepts or rejects as well as collects suspects and directs subjects to eat Tex-Mex. Too much caffeine? w w zzzzzzzz
(0.o) + more caffeine = (X.x) /

p.s. - dunno if the ascii silliness above will make it intact

The best part, which had me on the floor halfway through and then again once I finally was able to finish it, was...

"Of course this could all be too dang late, the process of restoring the HD has begun and all Hell has broken loose with little gremlins running around inside the box, sparks flying, noise, smoke and funny smells (from the computer!). Then there is the wimpering or sobbing as well as wringing of hands and general uneasiness and anxiety from anyone in the immediate vicinity. Will it never end?! Oh the humanity!

Hmm, and brownie points to anyone who knows what Scot is referencing to when he said "But if system files got shim show gai gwanned (yep, made it up)" Lisha, if you don't know it, then I shall beat you over the head with the golf clubs. YES! I said the golf clubs!

Off the fix the internet again...La La La!

P.S. Jessi: Did you know that people spell 'night' wrong so much that it's in the dictionary under 'n-i-t-e'?

Me: Hmm, yeah. It's kinda sad. But I use it, so I can't talk. The bad one is when people misspell 'might'. They don't realize that when they're saying 'I am mitey!' that they're actually saying 'I'm am little buggy!'

I rendered Jessi helpless for a few minutes with that microrant.
