...with my Mac Pro.

The other day I turned off my computer and for the first time since I got it, unplugged it and took it out of it's cove to dust it off and dust off the inside and stuff. I'm glad I did that, cause it was rather dusty both inside and out, and there were even some weird stainish marks on the outside of the case which came off with a little effort and some damp tissues.

Anyway, not important. The important part is, since I don't often see my computer very clearly, as it is on the floor next to my desk, and is literally sanwiched between the desk and the wall (it's got about 3 feet horizontally, but there is another shelf in there as well, so there is like 5 inches on one side and maybe a foot on the other), seeing it out in the open for the first time in two months caused a weird reaction in me. I was in awe of it's beauty and elegance. I couldn't take my eyes off it. I started stroking the UNBELIEVABLY smooth metal exterior (man that stuff is slick), and I repeatedly opened and closed the side door.

As I was carrying it back to it's spot next to the desk it very very lightly bumped the corner of the desk, and I felt the pain, literally. I flinched in terror, and immedietaly set the tower down and stroked the part that had been bumped with a tissue.

Now, it's back in it's spot, and I keep looking down at it, and stroking the top of it, and just a few minutes ago, I was actually crouched down just staring at the front of it. I can't get over how amazing it looks.

Do I need help? Or is this common with apple's computers?

I um, really like my Mac Pro, but I wouldn't say it approaches anything near what you've described...

Oh it's common. Professional Macs have always been sexy.

First question: Yes. You need to get off the island more. LOL

Second question: It can be, but I'd really watch for how your MacPro responds to your love and affection. Remember it did have a screw loose at one time, hard to tell if it's fully recovered or not.

Yes, but does it love you? There's really only one way to find out. Throw it off a second floor balcony. If it comes back, it was meant to be yours. If not, well hey, you've just destroyed your computer.

Before you marry it, I just want you to know, I ****ed your Mac Pro.

It was a couple years ago, before you started dating. We were both loaded and lonely at the company Christmas Party.

Hahaha, alright guys. It turned out to be just a temporary crush. I'm completely over it. I mean, it comes and at goes at different times, but it was never really love...

If you fart and hold the blankets over it, it was meant to be.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

um... ew?

And there's nothing wrong with showing affection to your Mac. Just don't start humping it in public or something. Please. For the love of all that is good and decent in this world.

Before you hump your Mac, get a good virus cleaner. You never know where your Mac has been.

That's right. Macs don't get viruses, but they are notorious for being carriers.

OH!

That reminds me. I'm a computer salesman at Fry's Electronics, and one day I asked a guy if he needed help - he was looking at the Mac Pro with 30" ACD attached to it. All he said, and I do quote, was:

"God, I love this computer. I just want to rub my cock all over it."

I sh*t you not. He said exactly that.

Does the term "Big Pimpin'" not mean anything to you?

lmao!!! if you think your mac is that sexy... pay a visit to the Mac Modification section of the forums..... pick up a few pointers and PIMP UP 'DAT MAC!!!!! cold-cathode lights, LED PSU fans, etc.

I know how you feel though... I never used to think computers had any kind of aesthetic appeal to them, out of the box. That all changed when the first iMacs came out...... and then again when I modded my old 6100 with a blue LED for the power-light. Dang, that Mac got some bling-bling goin' on!!

Don't bully me, I got an Uzi... HOO-HAH!
