Young guy comes into my store today and starts rambling on about how his neighbour is somehow hacking into his cell phone and preventing him from making calls from it and cutting off the wifi and making the GPS turn on and off. One of the highlights was "I unplug my computer, change the password on it, plug it back in, and they are still on it". He also (according to him) buys a new phone every week and replaces his computer at least once a month. According to him, he will pay me $70 per hr to fix this for him. At this point I figure that he is completely wacko so I tell him as politely as I can that I cannot help him and he needs to go to the police. He walks away muttering that he never thought of that and he will do it immediately.

Somehow I don't think the police will help him either. -
No, but they might refer him to some nice young men in clean white coats who could help him... or at least make him worry about something other than IT security.- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.Comment

When we moved into a house adjacent to 200 acres of woods with lots of critters my wife bought a book on scat and tracks. In the notes section at the end of the book I drew a set of tracks and labeled it "Common North American Land Whale" (Basically a series of large ovals with large vaguely flipper shapes behind each oval).Quoth fireheart View Post
Years later one spring the snow in our back yard happened to melt in a familiar looking pattern. Cue me grabbing the book and jumping up and down pointing out the window while shouting at my wife, "The land whale was here! The Land whale was here!"You'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution, Miss Scrumptious.Comment

I'm confused. I thought the Land Whale was tropical...?

The North American Land Whale is migratory. Some people say it gets as far North as Canada. Others say Toronto.Quoth Jester View PostYou'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution, Miss Scrumptious.Comment

So, if it's migratory, and it was in your backyard in winter...does that mean it migrates south for the SUMMER?

It was actually early spring when we saw the tracks. My wife argued that it was too early for Land Whales to be back this far North as the snow was still melting. I pointed to the tracks and responded that the tracks don't lie!Quoth Jester View PostYou'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution, Miss Scrumptious.Comment

Perhaps it's time to worry about the birds . . .
I mean it is that time of year for the bird to begin migrating, isn't it?Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)
