“Uhhh…what do you mean there’s a troll in the hard drive?”


If you have trouble figuring out how to change your desktop background and you’re NOT 65 years old, you are a banana.

If you refuse to stop using Internet Explorer even though it keeps crashing and being super slow, you are a banana.

If you say things like “my computer has PMS” or “how do I make that thing do the thing” or “just hit it a couple of times,” you are a banana.

Bananas are ordinary folk who despite being raised by computers, iPods, and the internet are nevertheless retards around anything that resembles technology. We are often careless with our little devices, dropping them into buckets of water or using Windex to clean computer screens. We are usually slow getting the latest tech toy, choosing instead to wait long enough till it goes down in price and the iHysteria has sufficiently died down, then we buy it on the pretext that we are not zombie-consumers swayed by marketing hypes. But of course we buy it cuz it’s cool looking even though we have no idea how to work it.


We also become frazzled, discomposed, heated with the obtuse IT people at work who can’t understand our non-tech gibberish, such as “My computer is acting weird. It’s as if there’s some kind of creature in the bottom part thingy…like a troll living in the hard drive.”
