Well, to tell you the truth, I think it all started when I tried to touch /dev/hotchic1 to which I got a access denied error. Well, at least that's better than a permission denied error like I got with /dev/hotchic0
At this point, I was thinking to myself, what the fuck? I'm root, I can do anything! If it wasn't a permissions issue, then what was it? There was only one way to find out. A quick cat /var/log/errors revealed this cryptic message: /dev/hotchic1: mtime limit restrictions.
Okay, now I knew something was up. So first off I did a quick mtime check on /dev/hotchic1, revealing that her mtime was 16y. So I did a cat /proc/laws/aoc which revealed: 18y. Well, holy shit. How did this happen. Somehow my locale must be off a bit here. Time to reset it back to the proper settings.
Error: specified nation, 'Canada', is corrupted in world database.
make: no such target as 'clean'.
make: nothing to be done about 'world'.
rm -rf /
godsh: 'make' command not found.
command interpreter corrupted, rebooting.
At that point, I realized I had to reinstall the world from scratch. I figured I'd take the opportunity to upgrade the version a bit. But all that could wait until after lunch.
So when I get back, what do I discover but that someone else has reinstalled the world, but they put fucking Microsoft World XP on it... now the world is asking me to Activate, or it will brutally shut down. So I try to activate, at which point it tells me that I'm using a pirated copy. Oh great, a pirated copy of the world eh? Just then some dude jumps out of the sky and lands next to me. "Hey buddy, you really need viagra man, it's the best shit ever! Now you can buy it for only a bottle. Limited time offer though! Buy now!" While I'm trying to decide what to think about that, I notice that some other guy had popped out of nowhere, grabbed my wallet, and was writing down all my credit card #s. Scatching it back from him, I stuffed it back in my pocket. Just wonderful, spyware and adware. I love this world.
Anyway, I see hotchic1 again, only this time she seems to be going by "My Chics\Sweet 16.jpg", that's an odd name change. So I spark up a conversation, and we start making out. I love it this rules!
Some chicken goes running by screaming bloody murder about the sky falling. I look up and sure enough, the big blue sky is coming right at us. But it seems way to dark a shade of blue for normal. Then it hits, kerplow! And all that's left is the ugly blue sky, with some white whispy clouds that seem to spell out words that say:
The Administrator has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
General access violation on 00:00:16:00:18:00 in file
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Chics\Sweet 16.jpg"
A serious error has occured, rebooting...
Not again! Just great. Not only did someone install World XP, but they still forgot to set the locale to Canada. What the hell, this just isn't my day.
In the end of course, I did manage to get some version of GNU/World reinstalled, and got the locale set to Canada. But wouldn't you know it, after all this, /dev/hotchic1 was nowhere to be found. Well, there's always tomorrow.
