In Which I Fix My Girlfriend’s Grandparents’ WiFi and Am Hailed as a Conquering Hero

An epic heroic tale of plugging and unplugging the power cord of a wireless router:

But then one gray morning did Internet Explorer 6 no longer load The Google. Refresh was clicked, again and again, but still did Internet Explorer 6 not load The Google. Perhaps The Google was broken, the people thought, but then The Yahoo too did not load. Nor did Hotmail. Nor USAToday.com. The land was thrown into panic. Internet Explorer 6 was minimized then maximized. The Compaq Presario was unplugged then plugged back in. The old mouse was brought out and plugged in beside the new mouse. Still, The Google did not load.

Pre-Order Your Copy of On The Bro’d

Exciting literary news: On The Bro’d, my full-length bro-speak parody of Kerouac’s On The Road, will be published in April and is now available for pre-order. Get your copy now before the keg is totally tapped.

onthebrod:

Starting right now, you can pre-order your very own copy of On The Bro’d. Unlike this chump of a blog that just has some lame-ass excerpts, the book version of On The Bro’d contains the entirety of Kerouac’s On The Road translated into off-the-chain, crunk-as-hell bro-speak.

Shit drops in April, bros.

Your Renegade Ways Have No Place In Geek Squad

What, you expected some kind of hero’s welcome because you fixed an older couple’s router during a routine HDTV setup? Not from me, hotshot. You’re a goddamn TV install technician. That is fucking it. You hit anything else, you call for backup. I don’t give two shits what kind of home networking crap you pulled in the academy. There is an order here for a reason.
