There once was a man from Nantucket.
He put his PC in a bucket.
He kicked it around,
It made a bad sound.
And now he's afraid he must chuck it. 😀
OR, more appropriate to my mood and situation today:
My overclock failed.
The BIOS it bailed.
It made me quite mad,
Until ClockGen was had.
And then a much faster speed nailed.
This was inspired by my stubborn home PC. It's a Sempron 2600+ that's been running at an even 2.0GHz on a Biostar K8NHA Grand motherboard - the max the BIOS would allow. Yesterday the BIOS stopped applying any overclocking settings when booting even though the actual settings stayed set in the BIOS, so I was "forced" to find a software overclocking tool. The folks in the CPU forum recommended ClockGen, so I've been playing around with it most of the day now and my computer is currently running stable at 2.23GHz. 😀

He stepped on the gas

Here I lie
In five seperate parts
Because my twelve brothers
Were lousy at darts.
:Q
Edit: Okay, here's a better verse - I learned this one while in college reading some obscure history books... it's supposedly an epitath from the 17th century of unknown origin:
Here lies John Knott
His father was Knott before him
He lived Knott, died Knott
Yet underneath this stone doth lie
Knott the son, Knott begot
And here he lies and still is Knott.

On the intern's new dress
Republicans sought impeachment with zeal
The word spread like fire through our land
of an affair that got perversly out of hand
While Hillary was playing dumb
Her husband was getting gummed
In the halls of our great high command
Now while Bill did his job without care
The nation went ga ga over the Capitol pair
And it wasn't till later
After he lied we found he did cater
To the tempations of the girl with big hair

hehehehehe. Working on my bottle of Skyy right now, and then after that, Ketel One. 🙂 What do you think TAandy? Fullmetal Alchemist 2 on the PS2, Guild Wars on the machine, or like, actually be productive???

I sit and decide my forte`
I can't decide what game to play.
Alone I sit here and think,
And what about my next drink?
Hmm. Guild Wars or FMA?
About my next drink I'm thinking
What do I feel like drinking?
A dash of Skyy or Ketel One
Either will be as much fun.
The volume of both will be sinking.

There you go. I made it On Topic, and included a poem.
you've never heard of Skyy vokda or Ketel One vodka? Hmm. Okay... (Ketel One is better)...
Any English vodkas (or liquors I guess) you recommend?
