Medical transcriptionist melts keyboard with fingertips

HA! She never would have been able to destroy the Northgate Omnikey. In fact, it would have happily *insisted* that she type with a blowtorch, and use a hammer for emphasis.
I was lucky enough to find an entire box of 40-some Omnikeys back in the 90's - 101s, 102s, Ultras.
When I was certain I was going to make a living as a Quake marine, my Omni Ultra came along for the ride.
10+ years later, the first one I picked out of the box is still with me, and looks like it did back then - withstanding day-long FPS sessions and the furious frustrated pounding after my virtual death, coffee spills, a monitor being dropped on it, and angry missives to ex-girlfriends.
It now sits quietly, as my audio workstation keyboard, waiting for me to hit the spacebar again and again.
I still have the box of Omnikeys, so if you want a keyboard you'll have for the rest of your life, let me know - I'm sure they'd like to be adopted, and be happy with whatever punishment you visit upon them until you're old and grey.

Pre-emptive devoweling.
Frankly, I think a threaded discussion, and some sort of alert to when someone is replying to me would be more helpful than someone 'saving' me from trolls, swearing, or the like.
Whatever works, I guess. I had to disable comments on my own blog because of spam - after that, I'd love some good 'ol trolls.
Is Fred and Sharon's movie production business real or performance art?

This is similar to Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job with less pot-head freakouts - the cuts are consistently 'bad', the performances are stilted, and the backgrounds and animations are only vaguely related to the narrative.
Being good at being bad is far more difficult than being bad at being good.

You can see Slash get uncomfortable when he is the object of this treatment live on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

Slashy gets up and tears out a solo in response. It's kinda sad - he just can't take the ridicule.
These 'special' guitarists just can't stand to be taken anything but seriously - which is why I'm guessing all the videos got takedown notices, signed, "Bruised Ego".
HA!
