YSaC, Vol. 1061: That’s one hot ligament of Treitz.
Continuing with the “Why Google AdWords Thought This Website Was Porn” theme that I inadvertently started over the weekend, Dennis sent in this ad:
dell laptop – $60
I have a dell laptop for sale 60.00 firm only thing wrong with it is the key board needs a new one other then that everything works good give me a call if interested Scottie xxxxxxxxxx thank you
You know how you can tell the computer still works? Because, as Scottie so thoughtfully shows us, it is still able to be used to surf for porn! (Although, that does raise disturbing questions about why the keyboard no longer works.)
Is it just me, or does the picture look like Natalie Portman with her intestines showing? I mean, I guess that could still be considered porn for medical students — “Wow, get a load of her transverse colon!” “I’d totally hit that duodenojejunal flexure!”
Thanks, Dennis!
CTRL+ALT+DEL! AHHH my eyes, please CTRL+ALT+DEL!
To me it looks like Keira Knightley with a lapful of uncooked liver, for those with raw food fetishes.
I can see that.
I can’t unsee that.
I’m framing it as a teaser image for the film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Because otherwise, I’m terrified.
I bought that book and couldn’t make myself finish it. It was just nothing but the original Jane Austen book with blood and zombie killings. I was bored to death. Is it worth digging out and finishing?
Ah, Manx! Love the avatar! It’s Spaceman Spiff!
My understanding was that was the idea – disturb the original text as little as possible, but add a robust zombie-related plot. I haven’t actually sat down and read it because… you know, ninjas.
Funky – I enjoyed it, but then I enjoy both Austen and terrible zombie flicks… FWIW apparently there are two versions (?) and the one I had was by the better author – some of his insertions were quite seamless.*
* :snerk:
I liked that book too. I know the original really well (4 or 5 readings?) and all I can say is that zombies were an improvement. Darn classes making me read it. I really wanted a few of the scenes in the book to have new gory endings so I was pretty happy.
Cleveland steamer?…No don’t google it.
Oh, hi corner…
How appropriate… I tried to give a door, and got an “internal error”…
I suppose that’s better than an external success…
I thought it was Winona Ryder, with brownies. (At least they aren’t corn nuts. *looks at prior sentence* *goes to ask boss for rest of day off to go home and watch “Heathers” again*)
Mrs. White, in the lounge, with the biscuits.
Maybe she finally did get *redacted* gently with a chainsaw.
I’m totally stealing “redacted gently with a chainsaw” as an epithet now. Best part will be saying it aloud to those who neither know what “redacted” means or get the original reference.
Best line ever: “I love my dead gay son!!!!!”
Lola, I am definitely seeing a plate of brownies and there is also a brownie in her hand. I don’t see Winona though.
It’s totally Kiera – but there is no way that stick figure eats brownies. Certainly not by the plateful.
And is it wrong that I’m totally turned on by the brownies?? Brownies…yum…
Unless she’s one of those disgusting ectomorphs who can eat anything they want and stay 90 pounds.
I’ve got a friend like that. He can eat greasy burgers for every meal with 2 pounds of french fries and he’d stay a boney 110 pounds. Skinny jerk.
It’s Keira Knightely and she’s sitting next to a plate of Duracell batteries. I think she’s selling C-cells by the sea shore.
Maybe it’s just me, but I keep seeing Kiera/Winona/Emma’s left arm as being attached to the couch, rather than her shoulder.
Now that you point it out, that’s the creepiest part of the picture to me.
disembodied arm is what is “creepiest” . . . ?
I’m going to go cuddle with my stuffed not-a-lion before zapping some aliens.
My mind’s version, Keira Knightley with Strawberries, was less gross.
And also correct, according to Google images.
Why did I just search that?
That was going to be my second guess! Good job, Noni!
either she is very tiny or those strawberries are huge
I’m surprised Sparky didn’t just have the keyboard replaced with one configured for one-hand typing.
The corner calls:
♫♪ Oooh Dave…♪♫
I’m sorry, Dave’s not in right now. He might be in the box.
Dave’s not here, man.
This is an Inspiron?
So, the objective is to inspire nausea? Projectile vomiting?
If so, I’m there.
*tilts head to one side* Kinda looks like an effeminate man with a plate of burnt croissants on his belly. Which means I’m either desensitized to porn or to intestines.
Kind of looks like ….. I should have stayed in bed.
I’m jealous, my Dell didn’t come with wallpaper of a glowing hermaphroditic person balancing a plate of brownies on its tummy.
That’s what I get for not springing for the Deluxe HermaphoGlow package.
Hehe, you said package.
Pecil!
[laptop corey]
The normal cost-effective way you replace a laptop keyboard is to buy a new laptop. Ditto for screen problems.
In days of old, say, three years ago, you’d buy a second l/t of the same model, and replace the non-working “half.”
What most discovered was that it was easier to just get the information off the broken unit’s HDD and transfer it. The transfer taking far less time than disassembling the hinges on two laptops. And, that’s not terribly difficult anymore for many home users, as they will have spare external parts like keyboards and/or monitors to connect to the broken l/t’s backplane.
Not that a person couldn’t replace the keyboard on a l/t, just need a “donor” one and an hour or two retrieving the donor, and the same amount of time opening up the “patient” for the transplant.
So, much faster to plug in peripherals, overall.
Unless you are sparki.

I Spy with my little eye, Emma Watson with a pile of fruit on her parts, and holding a pear she is about to bite into.
What really gets me excite it the $60 price tag! So easy to plug in a regular keyboard and there you are! Whew! I need to go lie down.
There I fixed it…
I’ll be in the corner.
I have to agree with ScotSpark, I prefer firm only. Mostly because I’m lazy.
Sounds like a new ad campaign…
“Viagra, for when you are just too lazy to…”
… finish?
…Dutch?
Sorry, but if Scottie [sic]can’t fix the keyboard, it can’t be fixed.
He canna change the laws of physics!
*Busy throwing doors at Bianchi*
OOh….oooh…oooh….do another one Bianchi!!!
*goddamn it Jim, I’m not a miracle worker….!*
This just in, I have both tendonitis and arthritis in both thumbs. Soon i willbetypinglikesparkeywithnospacesorcapitalsatleastit’sspelledcorrectly.
Nooooo!!!! Oh, Windy. I’m sorry. Maybe you need speech-recognition software. 😀
Don’t they call that “Nintendo thumb”? You should’a gotta Wii…
I went Wii, and I still have sore thumbs. It must be thumbthing else.
Ooooh…ouch…owie, ouchie, ouch…
Uh, CJ. You just say that when you’re typing, you don’t type it.
Unless you’re dictating.
So sorry about that.
Bummer on the thumb problems =(.
ToshowsupportI’llstopusingthespacebartoo!
Solidarity is your middle name.

So sorry, Windy. Must have been a bad weekend for thumbs. I think I either severely jammed my thumbs or broke both of the yesterday. They are swollen about twice their normal size, don’t bend, hurt like hecky, and are really blackish around the knuckles.
I think I’ll just ignore them until they go away.
If they go away, how will you hold your beer?
I’vegotahatyoucanusetoholdyourbeer. 8) Thankseveryoneforthesympathyandgoodwishes. (Switches to typing with brace on) Okay I was told totake glucosamine,do exercises and ice it, and wearlthsokunts U I mean splints to bed. Gah! Wish they could just rep;acethem.
Grampdaddy, much sympathy to you as well. Without thumbs we are just tailess monkies. Do you think a medical professional should be consulted?
You should take frozen fish oil capsules, too. My dad uses those for his knees (when he remembers) and he thinks they work pretty well. And if you freeze them first, you can cut down on “fish-burps” which I’ve heard are not good for being socially acceptable.
My mom has to wear a special thumb-brace. She got some sort of… something wrong with it from doing too much cross-stitch.
I had similar issues with my thumb and index finger on my right hand, but got them early – the braces at night and whenever they weren’t in the way during the day – and those alone helped quite a lot. I also changed jobs and that helped but it’s an extreme measure and the benefit was unintended.
Lola, while I like to think I would benefit muchly from changing jobs, or just retiring, I do as much if not more typing/mousing at home. And I don’t have a nintendo. Since my son moved out. Ahem. I want a Wii Fit so badly!
If they go away, how will you hold your beer?
Same way I always have – cross my legs and walk funny to the port-a-potty.
re: medical professional – With all the fingers and toes I’ve broken over the years, I’ve never had a Doc do anything but tape and/or splint and tell me, “That’s gonna be tender for a while.”
Does make it interesting trying to do intervention with students’ writing when one cannot hold a pencil (I said pencil!) correctly. We will not discuss holding a pecil correctly…
I take Vitamin C and it helps with arthritic swelling (I type a lot every day so this a good benefit). I’ve also read that cayenne pepper and apple cider vinegar is also good for arthritis. Both externally and internally.
I take Vit. C, but hadn’t heard about cayenne. Apple cider vinegar we have in abundance, as we put it in the birds’ waterers, Keeps down the bacteria and adds nutrients they need. I shall look in to it. 8) Again, thanks, everyone, for the advice and concern. I love you all!
Sorry about your thumbs. My aunt and mother have the same thing, and I can’t recommend anything more than what’s already been recommended
DAFT, hopeyouenjoyedyourdayPUNCHITY PUNCHPUNCH!
