My folks came to see us this weekend. When they come they stay in the guest room, which is actually the futon in the basement. The basement is also where the computers are set up.
The morning after their first night, my Mom and I had the following conversation:
Mom: Jon, does your computer want more power?
Me: Huh?
Mom: Your computer was on in the night, and a couple of times it said it wants more power.
Me: Huh?
Mom: That voice. You know, on your computer. Every now and then it talked to us. It said it had to have more power. Why would it do that?
Me: (Long pause) Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! I get it. Did the voice sound anything like Christopher Walken?
Mom: Huh?
Me: The actor. Christopher Walken.
Mom: (Long pause)I guess so. Maybe.
Me: It doesn't want more power. It wants more cowbell!
Mom: Huh?
It's from the Cowbell skit on SNL with Cristopher Walken and Will Farrel. Every time we get an email the computer plays the snippet where Walken says " I gotta have more cowbell!". So if you ever want to freak out your folks, or anyone who sleeps near your computer, this seems to be the way to do it.
