The Brightest Crayon

~ The Brightest Crayon ~
A Tale of Underdeveloped Logic.

Well, in an attempt to reduce my idiocy level, I will uphold the excuse that it was two AM and my cup of coffee was empty.

But in the end, I can’t help but laugh at the impenetrable density of my cranium. I’m not always this logically challenged, trust me.

I had just signed off one of my accounts and was logging on to another. I typed in the username, typed in the password…the password was incorrect.

I figured that it was just the caffeine playing tricks on me again, so I closed out of Maple and waited a minute. I went to login again.

Typed in the username, and the password that I knew was right. Still incorrect. I began to panic or, uh…the overdose of caffeine coursing through my veins made my heart rate increase.

I began to worry that delusion was kicking in and I was loosing my mind, or even worse, that I had been hacked.

So I signed onto AIM as fast as I could, and hastily sent an IM to the only person on my buddy list that plays MS into the early hours like I do.

Me: Help, I think I’ve been hacked >_<
Him: What happened?
Him: It says you’re already logged on?
Me: No, my password has changed D:
Him: oh
Him: Do you have caps lock on?
Me: …
Him: …
Me …

So after slamming down on the caps lock button and successfully signing onto Maple, I whacked myself with an 11×14 heavy duty sketchbook and decided for the good of mankind that I go to sleep.

D: …

That’s the beauty of it all. When I started typing my first mesage to him, I saw that it was in caps and just turned it off casually. . .obviously my brain was a bit slow on the uptake.

  3. Heh. I would react like you would; panic, find the first Maple person on MSN and make them help me get my acc back. XD

  4. a major ‘lol at yourself’ moment there. Did you actually physically whack yourself? =o Doesn’t sound healthy.

  5. ahah my cousin had a similar expeience.
    He worked for tech support for some store, so some lady called and said she couldnt seem to log onto her windows acount.
    So he drives over, and sees caps is on. He didnt have the heart to tell her that, so he started to type some “codes” and pressed CAPS while he was at.
    and then he left, lol
