Saline and cat hair do not mix

[x_maker]

Catseye! The cup full of clear liquid on my desk is NOT water for you to drink! It's pH-balanced saline solution that needs to be kept in a state of static electrolysis for my contacts. If you insist on drinking from it while the little wires are there, not only will it give you one hell of a shock, but you'll also ruin the solution and I'll have to run the salinization cycle all over again.

And if you could return my #8 Torx driver, I'd really appreciate it. Yes, I know it's shiny, but I *need* it for my work, okay?

I wondered why I was getting the Indian language channel no matter what button I pushed.

What did you DO to them?

Not that I mind Bollywood movies, but a steady diet of them and I'm going to be breaking into song and dance routines in class.

(Although, now that I think of it. Math class could use a musical number or two.)

Hey, that wasn't my fault. That was someone else messing with my perfectly sensible and well-written modifications to the remote.

Its really simple. See the big colored buttons?

You press one of those to get to the device you want to control. White is the Television itself. Red is Cable Television. Blue switches between the DVD and VCR and other media players. Yellow controls audio and switches betw... actually, best left if you don't touch that one. Black is the control for the switch between the game machines.

Do you have -any- idea how frickin' hard it is to get a old 8-bit Nintendo, a PSX2 and a PC designed for Half-Life to play nice on the same output?

You realise of course by saying 'Don't touch the yellow button', I now have an almost overwhelming desire to touch the yellow button.

It's 'wonder what this button does' syndrome. *firm nod*

And you haven't added the Xbox in yet? Dude, chop chop. Some us prefer Xbox over PSX2. *grins*

Yellow is the stereo. We have people with sensitive ears. Do. Not. Mess. With. The. Stereo.

Those three platforms were examples, Jubilee. If I listed every gaming console in this school, and how many we have that are able to be hooked up to the big TV's, I would be here all week. Yes, your precious X-box is added. And the Game Cube, and an orignal Playstation, and a couple of the old crap Sega machines, and... See? All week.

We have a Calicovision. Do you have any idea how ancient that is?

Dude, chill out. Can you not tell I'm teasing you here? You know, funny hah hah. Or should I stick smiley faces and little sparkley stars on everything I say?

Re: ...

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll reinstall my sense of humor when Angie's not being crazy, okay?

Re: ...

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Uhhuh. Dude, being stressed about your girlfriend does not give you the right to be a raging asshole.

Fuck, even with my nil empathy for anything besides myself, I know that.

Re: ...

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

What the hell?

Jubilee? Asking you not to screw up the stereo and telling you how many systems we have isn't being a raging asshole!

Re: ...

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Then maybe I mistook the tone but the whole big coloured buttons crack was pretty fucking condescending. And then it just went downhill from there.

It's not like I got shit marks in Computer science, Dude. I do know how to work electronics, even if from time to time I find it funny to make jokes about it.

Which is what that was, a joke.

*sighs*

Ladies, ladies. If you can't play nice and share your toys, I'm going to have to take them away from you.

Besides, if you want to see a REAL sound system sometime, wait until I can get Kyle and his sensitive little ears out of the room for a demonstration of what "Far Beyond Driven" can do cranked up to eleven.

Re: ...

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

See, that I'm willing to venture into your room for.

Re: ...

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I know you love your little speakers, but have you looked at this setup down here?

Hell, maybe you should. I can't make heads or tails of half this stuff. Wires every-goddamn-where.

Re: ...

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude. I spend how many hours outside and you can't find one hour to manage to get some girl in your room to show her your "stereo".

Weak, weak, weak.

Re: ...

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Kyle, my name is Jubilee. Not 'Some girl' Haven't we talked about this before?

Re: ...

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Like I make myself familiar with your schedule when you're out marking trees or whatever.

In that case...

[x-jetstream.livejournal.com]

Once we isolate your room from the rest of the Mansion, I have some Deicide that would sound _lovely_ turned up to 11.

Sure, the bass will probably liquefy your remaining organs and limbs, but you'll go out with a smile.

Jubilee? If I wanted to be condescending? You'd know.

"See the pretty buttons? The big white one turns on the TV. The red one is to watch the TV. The blue one is to watch movies on the TV."

Or something like that. I'm not really in the mood to demonstrate it effectivly.

Re: ...

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Whatever. Fact is, I'm perfectly capable of running the Stereo without blasting people to Kingdom Come. Try actually getting to know what I can and can't do before simply deciding for yourself what that is.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

...I didn't know we had half those. Want to come help me try some of them out?

Re: ...

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I could use the distracting. MarioKart?

Re: ...

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Sure! See you in the rec room in fifteen?

Re: ...

[x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com]

a couple of the old crap Sega machines

Retract that statement. The Sega Saturn is not crap. Do you have any idea of the quality of its RPGs? Not to mention Saturn Bomberman. Set up a couple of multitaps and you have a game that will entertain you and seven others for hours.

Re: ...

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

He didn't say the Saturn. We have an original Sega machine sitting next to the Colecovision, which is not a kind of cloth, Doug, incidentally. :)

I'm just waiting for the day Doc McCoy brings out a Pong machine and hooks it up to the surround sound.

Re: ...

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. You try spelling when you're text messaging comments from class.

Don't give Doc McCoy -any- ideas, Jamie.

Dude. You know what would be cool? If we could rig orignal Mario Bros to like, one of those DDR pads.

Re: ...

[x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com]

We have a Sega Master System? I'm impressed. Did Professor Xavier have to buy that on E-Bay?
