I Was FIRST!
I was First Commenter on Sammy’s Teaser of 6/14/16. It's mine, mine, MINE... and nobody can ever take it from me!
Your internet expert on xxxxxxxxxxxl!
4,107 searches (and counting) can't be wrong! We are your destination on the Web when you want to search for the bizarre term of "xxxxxxxxxxxl"
I’ve always suspected that’s how you fix a laptop. Thanks for confirming this.
It’s the only sure way to get anything to work right. I’m pretty sure it’s the same way prehistoric humans invented fire…
This is funny…Hell computers. I think they are all made there.
My trusty old desktop is a Hell… while I love playing off the name, I gotta say everything about it still works (pretty well) fine 7 years later.
oh they use the same way like me … I’m an eggs-pert too… I guessed it ha! the worst thing for me is to tell the repair guy my password… I mostly send my husband, then he gets the weird look :o)
Now you know the secret and can save the money and password embarrassment and just fix it by throwing it out the window! 😉
So, Robbie is Fonzie?
Aaaaaayyyyyyyyy. I didn’t even think of that!
That was the first thing it reminded me of!!
And it that doesn’t work, just reboot. That’s the all purpose solution to every single computer glitch known to critter-kind. Yup. That’s the Gibbs method, though sometimes, he uses a gun. That ends the problem, anyhow 🙂
That sounds like the Elvis Presley method for fixing televisions. Technology may be the new leader in support of gun control…
Oh yeah……..I know this is precisely how about 90% of computers in repair shops get fixed. This “technique” also works with wonky appliances and – come to think of it – my husband when he’s slightly out of whack.

Someone in my bowling league last week used this very method to “fix” one of our alley’s archaic automatic scoring machines last week, and it was one half of the inspiration behind this comic. I use the same “repair” to fix the time clock at work when it goes on the fritz… though I’ve never thought to try it on people who need a bit of a fixing!
I have a question, could Hooly spray in a comic?
The answer to that question was, is and always will be no. I might be willing to do something off the record, but you’ll have to email me about that…
Jeez, I should have sent my laptop to Robbie. Best Buy made me wait 4-6 weeks and never did fix it. Oh well, I guess I should just be grateful it didn’t make me view clown possum pornography before it bit the dust!
I think next time you have laptop issues, you should take your laptop in to Best Buy and throw it at the staff behind the counter. That may fix both the computer and frustration issues!
I learned my lesson with Best Buy. I don’t buy their stupid warranties and I don’t take any of my stuff there. I found a hole-in-the-wall place that only charged me $50 to smack my desktop and vacuum the dust out!
I see thwacking it changes the design to DJ Poneh 🙂
We have a dodgy laptop here at the moment. I’ll mention this method to the guy working on it.
I think the design may have been the issue! Beware the Rainbow Donkey virus…
Let me know if Robbie’s method works!
It didn’t 🙂
Its ironic but Shane was fixing my lap top by removing superfluous bits as I was reading the comic. My laptop works much better with on\off button removed and the flashy blue light toned down with masking tape and black texta. Shane and Robbie must have done the same course in IT fix. (it’s working)
It’s amazing no matter how complicated the technology, it’s the simple and most straightforward methods that still get things fixed!
gotta love masking and duct tape!
That’s pretty much how I solve any bugs in my code!
