Screaming Banshee On Dialup

That’s me. Hallmark needs to come out with a new eCard: Screaming Banshee Without High-Speed Internet.

Not familiar with the screamin’ wonder? Well check her out. First, turn down the volume on your computer. The different scenarios would go somethin’ like this:

  • Screaming NEA Banshee tries to download a 30mb file. “AHHHHH!!!!!!!”
  • Screaming NEA Banshee tries to load her website. “GAHHHHHHH!!!!”
  • Screaming NEA Banshee tries to view the Iron Man trailer. “UGHHHHHH!!!!”

:hissy    :tosscomputer
Why do they call it “dial-UP”? There’s nothing “up” about it. It’s all…down. The speed. Your mood. The only thing that’s “up” is your blood pressure.

    Hoops and Yoyo could do a card for that. LOL

      They could, but it wouldn’t have the same effect. The “screaming” is so…real and appropriate for the level of frustration. Hoops and Yoyo would make it too “cute”, resulting in a loss of the pain factor.
