Top Ten Signs You Bought A Bad Computer
============================

10) Lower corner of screen has the words "Etch-a-sketch" on it. :rolleyes:

9) It's celebrity spokesman is that "Hey Vern!" guy.

8) In order to start it you need some jumper cables and a friend's car.

7) It's slogan is "Pentium: redefining mathematics". :bonk:

6) The "quick reference" manual is 120 pages long.

5) Whenever you turn it on, all the dogs in your neighborhood start howling. :eek:

4) The screen often displays the message, "Ain't it break time yet?"

3) The manual contains only one sentence: "Good Luck!"

2) The only chip inside is a Dorito. :(

1) You've decided that your computer is an excellent addition to your fabulous paperweight collection. :badcomp:

Awww..that's just dis-tasteful. LOL Earnest P. Warrell (aka Jim Varney) left this earth a few years ago, and man--do we miss him. **sniff, sniff** LOVED that guy!!! :(

Don't suppose anyone but me remembers his Incredibly Funny (and unfortunately short-lived) Saturday morning show "Hey Vern!". :( Man--now THAT was Entertainment!!!!! :D

We miss ya Jim!!! :D

Hahah--OMG Twinkley!! You remember "Hey Vern"!! Hahahha Wasn't it just awesome!!!

Ya know, I looked and looked online for copies of his shows online and there's just NOTHING out there about them! Maybe a mention here and there in an interview or biography, but that's it!!! :-((

Oh well--maybe I can find out who put them out, and ask for them to re-release them on DVD! :D

"Hey Vern!!"
