How I became a GameBoy Advance battery
 

(or "How is SyrFox a dumb idiot")
(or "A thread that might be motivated by the fact that it's 1:40am")
Only real facts - unfortunately

This afternoon I was lying on my bed quietly - reading The New York Trilogy, if you must know -. I decided to get up, so I sort of jumped off the bed, a bit abruptly I guess.
Taking care to put all my weigh in my right foot.

The floor was entirely empty, except for my GameBoy Advance battery cable which was loosely lying on the ground.
The jack of the cable was in vertical position.
My foot touched the ground.
The jack of the cable melted with my foot (or, if you want details, it entered my foot right in the middle of it).

A lot of blood and an ugly dark hole in the center of my foot followed. I still do limp, and it still does hurt - though clearly less than it did first.

Here I am, your brand new GameBoy Advance battery. Hello - or bzzt, may I say.

That's all for tonight folks

Ouch!

Ouch. Painful experience there.

That sounds horribly painful and disgusting.

That being said, I laughed out loud a couple times.

oww! that hurts. but it's still kind of funny. i hope you see the laughing mater, which you probably do, since you posted it here.

fusion cell or gtfo.


that said, once, while under the influence of various mind-altering medications, I thought that it would be easier to plug in my sega if I wet the end of the cord in my mouth first (ala threading a needle). the cord was plugged in to the wall.

good times.
