And it still works!
I have a big tall Antec computer case that is the perfect height, and location, to set food and drinks on. This computer case also has a very large vent hole right on the top toward the back over the processor and video card.
A perfect recipe for disaster right?
Every time I would set a cup of soup, glass of milk, soda, or whatever on top of the case I would think to myself "I really shouldn't put liquids on top of this....if it spilled....that would be it for my computer!" But of course being a stoner.....I would put it there anyway, I've been doing this for years now!
Well a few days ago it happened. I knocked a completely full glass of water directly into the vent hole while my computer was running! I immediately reached for the back of the computer to pull the power plug. Before I could even pull the plug though, the screen went black and the computer shut off. I instantly thought "I am fucked, there goes my only computer! What an idiot I am!"
Well never one to give up easily and being handy with computers I got straight to work. I opened up the case and unplugged and removed everything - just like in the movies when a soldier field strips a weapon in record time. I had water in everything, the power supply, video card, motherboard, you name it. I blasted everything out with compressed air, laid it all out in the sun for a day and a half, then put it all back together. Plugged it in and......
It works!
So you might think I've learned a lesson here but you would be wrong. Guess where my coffee is right now?
Now I'd like to hear some other peoples stoner moments. (so i can feel better about myself)
Lets hear your stories of times you knew you shouldn't do something and you did it anyways and exactly what you thought would happen happened.
