So you remember how scary bookstores are bloggers? Well here's another one for you, computers! Now I grant you that I'm actually writing this on my laptop so obviously not all computers are evil but that's just because there are different species of computers.
You see bloggers, there are some computers, like my laptop, who are wonderful machines that do what you ask, when you ask and never try to confuse you with strange error messages like "Cannot compute" or whatever else they say. Then there's the other kind... these evil machines are inhabited by strange aliens from other planets whose sole goal is to confuse you and make your live miserable as you're trying to do your work and can't figure out anything else and then the whole thing just goes blue! Or is it black? Wait! It's coming back on! No, just kidding, it still won't work. The aliens are really having fun now, trying to mess with your mind and you can't get anything done because the machine won't work and you call technical support but they're working with those strange aliens and they talk in gibberish, throwing in enough words that it sounds like they're speaking English but really it's some strange language that they make up as they go along and you're just about to tear your hair out and demand to know what the aliens want when they ask "have you checked the plug?" Wait, that's actually a good idea. And as you bend down to look at the outlet you roll your eyes because of course you know it's plugged in and your just about to tell them "of course I did that!" when you realize... oh it came unplugged.
