Papa Digs the Pr0n

"According to a new study, 70% of teenagers get their
information about sex from pornography. Which explains
why so many teenagers want to be pizza deliverymen."

-Conan O'Brien

So,

My father-in-law has a problem; which, vicariously, means I have one as well. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy to death. Being a high-school history teacher with a complete and utter passion for the subject matter makes him a fascinating source of commentary on the current state of the world. His opinion: the current state of American politics doesn't even BEGIN to compare to the scandalous shit our forefathers put this country through.

Anyway, like I said, he's got a problem. The poor guy's computer is perpetually screwed like a Tijuana prostitute, and I'm the one that gets called in to fix it.

This is easier said than done, especially when even though I'm a pretty damn good PC troubleshooter, I'm no highly trained professional.

He ends up getting viruses, spyware, adware, and whoops-we-fucked-your-PC-up-the-bunghole-ware. I have to go in and try to find it all and find some way to kill it.

I'm a Windows Rambo. Wambo or something.

What makes it so humorous is the incredible amount of pr0n I find digging through the registry and the Internet Explorer history. He told me that Amanda's brothers gunked up his computer with that crap...Napster, Bearshare, and titty sites. Riiiiight. Actually, I believed him...for a while, anyway...

But his sons haven't been living there for the past few months, and his computer is still getting cyber VD's. So I went out at lunch today, and, along with the Cold Mountain DVD (*slow shaky breathing* Natalieeee...yummmm...), I grabbed a copy of some program that's supposed to clean all that shit up.

Now, the question is, do I continue to feign ignorance, or do I simply say, "Hey pops, next time you go hunting the teenage facial pr0n, click on TOOLS-INTERNET OPTIONS, then switch to the SECURITY tab and bump that fuggher up to HIGH. Works like a charm, although I have absolutely no personal experience there...None at all. Zero. Zip."

Um...yeah.

In the meantime, I'm tired. I haven't been sleeping. I'm stressed out about work and about money. So, I apologize for the lack of interesting updates. If you need me, I'll be flushing the porn off my father-in-law's computer.

I now return you to your regularly schduled indifference...
