History Eraser Button


In the Space Madness episode of the Ren and Stimpy show, Ren introduces Stimpy to the the History Eraser Button, tells him to guard it and Not to push it, which of course he does. Apparently our DVR has a history eraser button and pushed it all by itself sending Jenny into a whirlwind of rage, taking squinty-eyed revenge on no less than two Indian call center goons, and eventually, but it's still yet to be determined, securing us with some unforeseen discount in consolation for our losses.

And hard losses they were. We had no less than one hundred movies cued up on that puppy, ready to watch. Now AT&T is sending some doe-eyed lummox to sniff around our house and gather intel - I think they fear a broad sweeping revenge plot a-la Jenny, which is still a very real possibility, but not likely as their call centers are in India and therefore out of American jurisdiction.

Although that evil little box may have meant us harm and did bring down on us an oppressively traumatic emotional pain, I must admit that I feel in some small way relieved - for it is Spring, and what better time to start fresh, wipe the slate clean and free ourselves from the Albatross of mediocrity.
