Haunted Keyboard!

[Meadhands]

Usually when computers are not in use in my lab, we shut them off. Occasionally, a student enters just after I shut 'em off and I like to watch 'em squirm in annoyance.

Today, I shut a single computer down, and as it is reaching it's final stage of shutdown, a student walks in. She looks around a bit and notices that the one computer is the only one with a screen on, so she walks over and hits space bar to try it out, and the computer promptly finishes it's shutdown procedure. The look on her face was priceless. I was most pleased with the timing in my heart of hearts.

That's when you say, "OMG! You BROKE it!!!!!

Too bad chasing students out of the computer lab while wielding a keyboard like a chain-whip is forbidden, or else I would have a hell of a good time.

Oh, I love how you went into Middle English there.

devil taint

Hehehe, that part just made my day for some childish, immature, yet delightfully offcolor sort of way. I think my new phrase for the day shall be Devil Taint.

I guess that could explain why some people just constantly smell like a mixture of 3 day old ass, fritos, and dead roadkill. They are inflicted with a Devil Taint.
