WHY NO MAC?!

[clowninasack]

Hm, I've just done a shitload of Crystal Meth, what should I do? Hey, the voices are telling me to get something. What's that, voices? You want me to get a MAC?! Well why the hell not. I'll just pop down to my local Mac retailer and grab one! What? The salesperson is on a break and you'll have to get a tech down here? OKAY!

Hey, I have no memory of how I got here. I'll just wander off for a bit. Oh, now I remember why I'm here! I need to get a mac. Where was the computer counter? Oh hey there is a guy sitting there now I'll just walk up and talk to him like he knows what I'm going on about. What? There are different kinds of Macs? I need to get a Mac right now. It needs to be fully loaded and $1500. The kind I want is $2400? What? You don't have any in stock? That can't be right! I wa just told to get a mac and it would be really simple and awesome and free.

You're not telling me what I want! You're humming and hawing too much! I'm going to go do more crystal meth and make a phone call!

[ArcticChicken]

I'm sorry. Would you like a hug?

[clowninasack]

Heh, I'm fine. It was actually kind of amusing. I'm pretty sure that if I did have the Mac in stock and if I did show it to him (I wouldn't have) that he would have run off with it and tried to buy more crystal meth (or whatever he was on).

That was a slightly horrifying look into a meth-head and oddly funny as hell.

I'm in basic agreement that you might have to be on meth to start with to really want to buy a Mac

[clowninasack]

The woe of working at the only apple-authorized dealer in the surrounding area.

[Evil Queen]

Maybe he was supposed to go to MACdonalds?

Same here.

Isn't it a well-known meth behaviour to become obsessed with electronics and the like, and compulsively take things apart and rebuild them?

I don't think a Mac leaving the store with that guy would be around for long.

I believe that someone in that state's known as a "tweaker."

I believe that someone in that state's known as a "tweaker."

Yup. Fixing stuff that ain't broken. Actually, most of the time, tweakers take apart electronics because they just KNOW the cops are in there.

Back in the days of yore, I knew a guy who was so whacked out of his mind he was convinced that:

- the government watches us through the television shows to see how we respond to whatever it is on the television at the time. Like, what we laugh at or what we cry at or what we get mad at - they can see that through the television.

- Sometimes, he'd come over and immediately throw a blanket over the television even if it were off because he knew "they" were watching.

- He would cover the stereo because that's how they listen to us.

- He put electrical tape over a sensor on the computer because he was sure it was a camera.

- he took apart all the vents in the house looking for the digital camera he was sure my friend was hiding.

- My friend had some flies in her house and he was trying to convince her that it was actually the government that put those flies there because they were not flies, but cameras sent to watch them.

Meth is bad, mmmkay.
