Roflcopter, this thread is great.
Hmm… a suggestion… think… think…
How about: I just peed a little bit.

Excellent. It makes a nice counterpoint to “I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.”
How about, “I hope you have a good lawyer.” or I HY HAGL

We get it, it’s a clever way of saying something was funny enough to make you spew the beer/coffee/mead/Robitussin you were drinking out of your mouth and onto your keyboard, thereby ruining it forever.

Not necessarily. One time, I laughed so hard, I got a hacksaw, cut my keyboard into small pieces, dipped them in butter, and shoved them up my ass. I definitely needed a new keyboard after that.

And a new ass.

That always sounded like a drunken Pat Morita from The Karate Kid to me. Makes it that much cooler IMO.
I have never been a keyboard geek. Nor did I imagine I could ever become one. But now I have realised that a life without Optimus AND Das Keyboard AND an Alphagrip, is a life not worth living. Damn you Nava!
I was going to offer my suggestion for a YOMANK replacement but I see everyone has already been creatively scatological.
You owe me a new dead baby?

Ah, well to give a full appraisal then.
Good:
You don’t have to contort your fingers to do any sort of combos. If you play MMOs, this is great because you will generally have to be able to run over ten different spells, and toggle between casting modes (self, target), plus drive, plus…
It is easy to learn to type on it. It took me only about two days to learn the keys. Though it took about a month to get to where I could type at a reasonable speed.
You can play curled up on your beanbag, wrapped in a comforter. 
Bad:
The mouse-ball thing sucks. It’s geared to work like a normal mouse, but a normal mouse considers 4 inches of movement as moving across the screen. Your thumb is however all of one inch long. If you crank the speed on Windows all the way up it’s servicable, but still mildly annoying.
You can’t play games which hard-code WASD and don’t let you configure your own keymaps. (This is limitted to stupid Flash games and such, but it’s still annoying.)
Hopefully the next generation will have one of the laser-scanner type movement detectors on it instead of a rollball, but with that I would say that it’s pretty much where it needs to be to be a 100% viable product. (Right now it’s like a 80%.)

I was just planning on using it for typing–I’m writing a novel and get tired of the whole sitting up straight thing. No games for me. I think I’ll like it. Have you tried that mouse booster thingy they mention on their website?

Yep, it works just fine if you’re just doing Windows. I had problems using it while running WoW though, I think since the application lets you do automated mouse movement, and that’s something that game-makers don’t want you to do.

Ooh, stop! You had me at “clicky”. 
(Clicky? Seriously? This is pretentious add writing now?)

“Clicky” may sound pretentious, but by Og, it’s accurate. Except when I really get into a groove, and then it’s more of a machine gun rattle.

Actually, I meant that it sounds too casual and slang - not even slang, but a made up word like I like to make them up (what can I say, I’m a victim of Joss Whedon) - far too *informal *for a whiz-bang technogadget ad.
Sorry, I always forget you can’t hear the sarcasm in my head when I type.
