So this morning, I was trying to pick up my (corded) keyboard, and there was a cable in my way, one of those cables you keep plugged in to the USB slots at the back of the PC because they’re so hard to get to.
I fought valiantly, but it got the upper hand – probably because my sword hand was full, holding the keyboard. So I thought that I’d find the other end of the cable, to see if it was mission-critical, or if I could just unplug it and get it out of my way. (I’m all about efficiency.)
I said, “What is this cable, and why is it such a pain in the ass?”
Then I looked down at the dense and writhing mass of cabuncular snakes (cord-ate creatures) that perpetually engulf the base of my homebuilt computer.
Ah, well you might ask, hu-mon! *
Lather, rinse, repeat. Indefinitely.
