You can kick me in the.

Nuts...I have had just about enough. It's Friday night and I am stuck at home...again. This quarantine has me so tight that if I clench my butt cheeks tight enough I can crack open walnuts. And don't think I haven't tried... I must say when I feel and hear the crack...it is most satisfying...CrACk!!!

Yup. I feel a bit better now...Even though it may be just temporary. I'm so numb right now that it might feel better if someone just kicks me in the nut5. But I'd prefer if the kicker has a narrow foot. It lessens the possibility of kicking both at the same time.

So, here I sit inf front of my computer on a Friday night. Something I haven't done since I was in college living in my frat house with a big mug of a frosty beer beside my keyboard and a rolled up doobie on my lips. A party was raging outside my doors and here I was typing a 30-page term paper due on a Saturday. And as I'm banging away on my Apple SE30 computer which had 30MB of memory. Unbeknownst to me a virus was lying in wait and would strike me down at midnight by turning my 30 page document into an image one pixel at a time into the grim reaper. This, by the way is a true story.

Well, I was pissed to say the least. Me, being one to never let a good crisis go to waste joined the raging party. Drank and danced the night away and at 4am, 6 hours before my paper was due, put in a new floppy dik, er, I mean disk and typed a brand new term paper.

When I finished, took my floppy disk to a pint shop and they put my disk through a virus detector, saw that my disk was clean and let me print my paper. I asked them what was the virus detector was for (This was in the late 80's) and they told me that a new virus was wreaking havoc around the campus...The name of the virus was "The Grim Reaper".

So, I was one of the few who actually made the deadline and got a "B" on my paper.

HEY!!! This is not why I started this blog for... Oh well...
