Idle Question

July 24, 2006

I’m not asking this for any particular reason, but what are your thoughts about gravy on computer keyboards?

I have had better weeks, but what frightens me most about this one is that it just started.

    Quilldancer,
    you might wanna try e-bay, see if anyone wants to swap a non gravy laden keyboard, for a hot dinner.
    Roast meat, two veg, yorkie pudd and lashings of rich gravy!

    A sticky situation by far, what kind of gravy? Beef, Pork,

    later

  • Cindy says:

    it would depend on who let the gravy get on the keyboard…

  • QuillDancer says:

    Q – stranger things have sold on eBay …

    Bill – pork

    Cindy — hmmm, me? I sort of dropped my plate ….

  • Strange as it may seem, but gravy is not a recoginsed keyboard lubricant.

    I once spilt Cranberry juice on my laptop while working through lunch. Although I turned it off immediatly and carefully dried it out, the damage was done. The computer was fine but the keyboard seemed to have a (sticky) mind of it’s own.

    I reported it as a keyboard failure to the help-line as I didn’t want to admit my stupidity. However, I had to come clean to the engineer, but he didn’t seem to impressed.

    Becuase of this, I became famous in the companies IT department. I was known as “The Cranberry Vandal” for the rest of my employment there.

    Getting back to your question. If it still works, don’t worry about it.

    Regards.
    Chris.

  • LOL…I agree with Chris. It’ll eventually decompose underneath the keys right?

    Gravy is best with mashed taters. Keyboards have a funny plastic taste. I don’t recommend them as a snack.

    I agree with you: the week is already too long.

    I think I have spilt worse things on the keyboard. And my brother says I am too rough with it. It still keeps on keeping on. And when it stops working I throw it away and get a new one (did that just sound like metaphor for a relationship?)

  • Betty says:

    I just wanted to stop by and thank you for the prayers.
    I don’t think that gavey and keyboards go together. Dr John has put different foods together with his keyboard but not gravey as he doen’t like gravey. I try to keep all foods away.

  • Dr.John says:

    If you can use it forget it. Otherwise buy a new one. Keyboards are not expensive. Of course you could save it for Thanksgiving.

  • QuillDancer says:

    Goldennib — your avice came too late …

    Jenn — if it ain’t broke don’t fix it — if it is get something newer, flashier and better — unless its a man. Flashy men tend to be the center of their own universe.

    Betty — shame on you for tattleing on your sloppy husband

    Dr. John — it still works but it is very sticky. Perhaps later I’ll pop it in the dishwasher ….
