Who's Your Daddy...of Horror?

Dudes!

I catapulted my dad into the 21st century on Sunday by giving him a Chromebook for Father's Day (hope all you Papas out there had a good one!) and spent 7.5 hours (yes, seven and a half hours) showing him the basics of computers, e-mail, and the Interwebz. And I didn't lose my cool with him,
not even once!

(Do y'all know how fucking exhausting it is to keep your cool with a close relative for 7.5 hours?)

(For me?)

(That's. Fucking. Exhausting!)

So for this week's post I'm asking y'all to do the work, since I couldn't (OK, OK—since I didn't plan ahead and ran out of time to write a proper blog post on Sunday because I'm wickedly lazy, fine, fine, I admit it. Go on, rat me out to the Blogosphere Overlords, if you absolutely must.). Check out this epic rap battle between Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King and let me know in the comments:

      I especially enjoy Poe's groans of exasperation. Story of my life, really. :-)

      She was right; whoever said, "There's no hope in dope," was wrong. :-)

    Oh that's a tough one!! Too hard to decide between these two but....I'll go with the King.

    7.5 hours? Really? I'd have to be absolutely skylined pissed to manage that.

      I'm not sure what "skylined" means here, but I think I like it. :-)

    7.5 hours?! Jojo you said it - Saint Mina all up in here!

    That rap battle was pure gold, thanks for sharing! They both present a compelling case, it's impossible to choose between the two :D

    Nice gift. I remember trying to get my grandmother tech savvy. Lets just say she comes over and used the computer with my help.

    That was funny. Good thing there were subtitles.

      For real! I'd have missed a lot of humor without the subtitles.
