The title of this post pretty well sums up my week and I'd not be speaking to you today were it not for the drastic measures I've taken. After trying everything to get back online including spending 1/2 an hour on the phone with a helpless and not-at-all helpful tech support lad I decided to resort to the dangerous and barely understood "System Restore" (think of regression therapy for your comp). I don't know why I wasn't able to access Internet Explorer but system restore helps bring me back to a time before what I'll heretofore refer to as "the great upheaval". I'd seen time travel before; Superman spinning the world backwards, Marty McFly and his souped up Delorean, Homer Simpson and his toaster, but I hadn't actually attempted it myself. Desperate, wary, yet undaunted I undertook the process hoping only that I wouldn't somehow be trapped in the whirling vortex of the time/space continuum only to be spat out God knows where.....a naked gladiator ready to do battle, a scantily clad serf paying allegiance to my feudal Seigneur, naked and cold in a Stalinist era women's gulag....I didn't care, I had to get back to The Blob!!
A few clicks of the mouse later and the deed was done. My computer was whole again and I was none the worse for wear (strangely I no longer need eyeglasses or Cialis). I am in fact on my 2nd round of system restoring because it works but only temporarily so. This afternoon I will get a hold of the best anti-virus software money can buy and get back to the serious business of Blobbing. After all, there's so much to comment on and the world doesn't stand still just because my computer is on the fritz..........or does it????

You know what the best anti-virus software is? Macs! It also happens to come with the best anti-virus hardware.
Hey, that's MY boy! Yes, we're all MacGeeks here on Hampton ave. I've yet to experience the tragedy that is a virus on the loose in my hard drive. (Said the Bishop to the actress!)
Think about it, all you P.C. losers!
On another note, I can't get the image of that centrifigal feces- removal machine and the mess it would make, out of my head. Thanks Blob, you did it again.
Okay, okay already MacSnobs!! What would you have me do...just throw out my comp and start over??
Where were YOU when I was deciding to buy this virus magnet a couple of years back, eh? Funny though.... when family patriarch Dave was about to cheap out and buy a 25 inch TV and I just happened to learn about this while he was en route and rushed over to intercept him at the store (pre-purchase mind you) and talk him up to a 27 incher. On that day that's where I was so again I ask...where were YOU!!????
