When things don’t work
You end up with blogposts about how ticked off I am with things not working. The internet seems to be… less-than-functional? … this morning in the Mackay household.
If this had happened on the bridge of the Star ship Enterprise (Next Generation, not the original) it would’ve gone like this:
Picard: Number One, put the Vulcan commander on screen. Mr Warf, prepare to fire.
Warf: Weapons ready, captain.
Riker: Um, captain, we’d like to put the commander on screen, but every time we tell the computer to do so, it just sits there waiting to load.
Picard: Number One, do you not know how to use the ship’s computer? Perhaps incompetence is at the core of our problems. Data, please find out why Mr. Riker can’t get the Vulcan commander on screen.
Data: I’m sorry captain, it appears that my logic system is still attempting to load. I am unable to parse what you just said.
Picard: I really should’ve stayed with the Borg. Or done another X Men movie. That would’ve worked too. Heck, I could’ve continued doing one-man plays on broadway. No, come back to the Enterprise, it’ll be great. This isn’t great. This is stupid.
And so on.
Did you hear that there’s an Internet campaign to make William Shatner our next governor general? That idea makes my brain less-than-functional…
GrammaMack,
I’d trade our president for Capt Kirk in a Star Trk minute!
I wish I lived on the Enterprise. Imagine Lords of the Realm on the holodeck!
