Reversed for those topices requiring a broad sense of what’s funny.
This showed up as a shared item in Google Reader for me from Aric who found it via Geeks are Sexy who appears to have gotten it from The Young Gary Busey Chronicles who got it from private panic.
When I saw it; I snorted my hot tea with laughter. Ouch.
Over in the comment thread on my H.B. 3200 post, I’ve recently been attempting to respond to a commenter who was rather obviously against the healthcare reform bill and who doesn’t seem to really grasp how to form a proper argument. Another commenter sent me a link to the following video and I thought it might be a good refresher on making an argument.
… there’s your sign.
You might be surprised at what you can figure out about your snowblower if you try. My level of mechanical expertise is a moderately complex Lego set, and yet I was able to diagnose & fix a problem with our snow blower earlier this winter.
The trick is to ignore the fact that you don’t know diddly-squat about what you’re doing and apply standard computer troubleshooting techniques…
1. Smack the device. Smack it HARD.
2. When Step 1 fails, swear loudly while pretending you’ve muted your phone.
3. Apologize for swearing.
4. Sacrifice a goat (or a chicken, but a goat is preferred).
5. If the sacrifice does not appease the angry snowblower gods, then try the other standard computer troubleshooting technique. Send it up to level2 support. :p
