Serge Gainsbourg’s on fire. Someone call Dell
So I wrote this giant blog with dialog and accents and everything, all about how Serge Gainsbourg —my shiny new laptop— burst into flame last week. Flame. Not spark, not small-electric-arc-that-might-look-like-a-flame-but-is-in-reality-still-a-spark, but an actual, no foolin’, message-from-the-Lord-style pillar of FIRE. I had it all typed up and spaced and everything, ready for publication on Friday so y’all would know I wasn’t dead, but the Internet ate it.
Stupid Internet.
The upshot is, after 53 minutes and 24 seconds of trying to explain to a bevy of lovely women from Bangalore, they have decided that a giant flame-thrower attached to my laptop is, and I’m quoting directly here “a possible safety concern” they are sending me a new one.
I suspect this one will tell me to wander in the desert.
