Okay, where to begin? I rarely post, so I normally have a quality of posts that, I...welp, I'm not sure. Nobody
complains. But nobody really goes, " Oh Manic, your posts are great!" But I begin today with a story...
It begins with a laptop. Not just any old laptop but THE laptop. The person in question, call him, "Adam",
got this laptop at a rare time of cash-in- hand and paid 700 American dollars for the said laptop during a great
day for him and shortly thereafter could never afford one again...
For many moons he enjoyed playing with that laptop...

ALL OF A SUDDEN!
DISASTER! COFFEE! SPILLS! FRIED MOTHERBOARD! He took it in to a good friend of his, and said, tears welling
in his eyes..."What can ya do doctor?"

He told him, "It's hopeless. Game over man. Game over."
Now, the shock of losing computer power for good was eating him up alive.But, he had some hope after all!
Even in one's darkest hour of course a candle does burn. His landlord, lets call him "Louie" had heard of his
plight and offered to buy him a laptop so long as he paid him back on payments! Not a bad deal, BUT-but-but-
but...gotta get the laptop at a pawn shop? Hmmm, well, what could go wrong?


Okay...that's happened to me AND SO MUCH MORE! If you guys wanna hear the rest of it YAY I may do it...but only if
I get up to seven...count 'em- seven replies! So get your brothers get your mom and come on folks, reply por favor
.

Hahah! The way you wrote that cracked me up.

I'm ready for chapter 2, sir.

P.S. Is "Louie" hot?

well, considering you had me direct you here, I suppose it would only be fair to try and elicit chapter 2.  I'm trapped on the edge of my seat!

Sixth replier.  Let's make this happen people!
I found the story stupidly funny, so it's worthy of another chapter.

Welp...It has happened.  We have had the recommended number of replies for part two of the story of laptops, coffee,  
Louie, and our famed friend Adam!  So Let's relax, have a drink (do not spill it) and enjoy part two of our tale...
   Adam awoke the next day with a splitting headache.  Had he been drinking the night before? Yup. Pound. Pound. Pound. His
head hammered away like a drummer from a rock band, so he got up and took a couple of aspirin to start his day.
   He remembered what Louie had said the night before and smiled. He was going to get a computer after all. HOPE! He eagerly
walked over to Louies place and tapped on the door. When it opened, there stood Louie. About five foot six and 280 pounds, he was
a balding old man nearing seventy. But if he had one thing the man had money Adam reckoned. And doesn't that mean a persons smart?
   They decided to go to the pawn shop by way of Louies older car "Brownie". It was an old reddish Honda with no working
speedometer and a stick shift. But it was good on gas and that Louie said mattered. Fifteen minutes they were at the pawn shop and
Adam was getting exited as a squirrel with 3 nuts.
   Then they entered. In the far corner lined up a handful of pretty nice looking computers, with price tags ranging medium
high to holy moly. But if they worked, Adam thought, who cared? That's when Louie saw the price tags, and stared at them with a
very odd look. He glanced at the clerk, and asked casually..."what do you have in the back, for say bargains?"
   Adams heart stopped for a second.
   The worker walked out in the back and pulled out two...behemoths.  After hooking up the cords and firing up the first
one, he tried to set up and whirl the second one. It was a paperweight.  Adam asked the guy what the specs for the computer was.
   "I believe it is a Pentium one, uh...pretty big hard drive though!" That did not win Adam over.  Louie Paid for the laptop
and they went to their happy homes.  
   But after playing a day with this  thing Adam took Louie aside and said, "ENOUGH! I need a new one! Please take me back to the pawn shop for a better one Louie."
   And the warranty in place Louie brought Adam a different more expensive laptop.
   BUT! DISASTER!BAD BATTERY! LOOSE POWER CABLE!  IT TURNS OFF AT A MOMENTS NOTICE!
Okay folks, that's Part two.part three has yet to happen. But if you want more...I'll tell you guys about some other fun times in life maybe. Or I'll think of something fun to write about. Heck, I'll write aboutanything....

Thanks for killing my expectations about Louie you Texan slobberknocker.

Part 3? Part 3.

It's a good idea to keep this as a diary or something like that... But, before doing that.... PART 3, PLS.
