What you’re about to read almost went unmentioned, I didn’t realize the magnitude of the story until I was retelling it to someone online, thanks Brian G. So I guess I’ll blogify it. You may also notice proper grammar and spelling in this entry too, that is because I finally installed office, and you know how word is all like, don’t worry, I’ll fix that for you.
Any ways, I was standing in front of the elevator doors on my floor, in my dorm, Lee waiting for transportation to the ground floor. Also waiting with me was a small group of girls, there were about 4 or 5 of them. On the wall, next to the doors, hung a poster advertising a recently passed informational session on building your own PC and a LAN party.
Completely out of the blue one girl blurted out, “What the hell are these LAN party posters doing all over the building?” Another girl responded, “I don’t even know what a LAN is.” Of course me not being able to contain myself said, “ Local Area Network” A third girl raised her hand toward me in that “voila” fashion, turned to the first girl and said, “there you go.” Another said, “see, this is why we have techies.”
Ok, don’t stop reading yet, its about to get a whole lot funnier. Now knowing that a computer knowledgeable person is around, yet another girl asked, “So what is this over clocking business?” Full well knowing that these girls were as dumb as the proverbial bricks regarding computers I gave the simple response, “Its basically when you make your computer go faster than it’s suppose too.” She looked at me puzzled, gave an unsure, “ohhhh”, then immediately asked, “is that even legal?” I tried not to laugh, but before I could answer her ridiculous yet sincere question, her friend yelled, “Uhhhhh, Duh!! Is it legal to speed? Of course it’s not legal, they’re just telling how its done, not that they should go out and actually do it” After hearing that brilliant statement, I just left it alone.
What I intend to accomplish with this entry is to demonstrate the mere stupidity displayed by some people when it comes to computers, specifically blonde freshmen business-majoring floozies. Indeed.
