Ramblings of the Mad Cow

A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious.

On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.

The Marine reported, “I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. “I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein is a miserable, lowlife scumbag, and he yelled back that Ted Kennedy is a good-for-nothing, fat, left wing liberal drunk.”

“So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian! He retaliated by yelling, Oh yeah? Well, so does Hillary Clinton!”

“And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us.”

Thanks Daddy

I say it’s blissful today, we’ll see how I feel in a month.

I’ve decided to take the plunge and repair and upgrade the iMac.

I’ve got this optical drive coming, and I’ll pick up some RAM.

And I’ll just use the drive out of Hannah’s current cow computer (thanks Robert) and she should be good to go. I’ve also got a call in to some old friend’s at the Apple Store for a battery. I figure to replace as much as possible while I’ve got it gutted. Then I’ll install the firmware upgrade, and take it up to 10.2.

Here’s keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes well!

Last night Will brought home a Blueberry iMac that he got for a real steal. It’s in pristine condition, with the original keyboard, mouse, all the discs, books, etc. The only con is that the optical drive is on the fritz. So now I’m trying to decide what to do with it. Do I nurture it back to health? Or do I start cutting glass for an iMacquarium?

That’s not a photoshop job, the pointer is the kite!
