For anyone who has ever wanted to buy a new printer:

Pock has such a cool printer. And it was cheap. It's so shiny and pretty and it has flashing lights and everything. It is surely the Ultimate Printer. Or maybe Printer Ultima Or even Printer Myself I Can Do IT! It's the best printer. I mean, it scans. I've probably just not been around the printer market as much as I really should. Most likely the really cool printers of today have like twice, maybe ten times the flashing lights. And like three scanners And a vestibule you reach in and pull out vodka and coffee cause it replicates vodka and coffee. But I haven't been around the printer market so I haven't seen those printers, so Pock's cute copying, scanning printer is beautiful to me. I mean, scanning. That's practically a digital camera, you know. The funny lasers and lights would probably give your head cancer poisoning or something when you put it in there, and you'd have to pancake everything you wanted to take pictures of, but pictures are supposed to be flat anyway.

Mom and Dad are always telling me they will buy me a printer. That they don't cost much at all, not even an Ultimate one, as we can see with Pock's printer, and that way I don't have to walk to the library to print everything. I always told them no, because that's just silly; the library isn't far at all, and they know it's the ink cartridges that really cost, anyway. I don't even have to print out that much stuff for my classes. They should not waste their money.

But you know. If you think about it. If you really think about it... The fact that I don't need a printer that much is actually a very good reason to get one. Someone who needs a printer a lot, someone who's just printing stuff all the time, just printing up those papers like A My Little Pony having up those babies when you squeeze it's belly... well, they're going to use a lot of ink. That's going to cost a lot of money. Playing right into the hands of those evil printer selling people who you know just sell the things cheap so they can get you buying those cartridges.

But someone who doesn't need a printer. This someone who doesn't need a printer, who won't be printing things barley at all, they will not fall into this trap. They will have bought the cheap printer, but will not need to buy any expensive cartridges. They will have taken advantage of the nice, cheap, scanning deal without having to deal with any of the usual repercussions. The fact that they are leaving school and possibly moving in with someone who has a printer just like it is, in fact, even more of a reason to get the printer.

These reasons, they pile up. Upon hearing them, the brain fills and overflows with such amounts of perfect practicality. The sea of minutia clears, and it is able to grasp hold of the shinning beacon of impeccable reason. Eyes glossy with the flawless logic, cups of vodka and coffee effervescent with the good sense of it all.

I mean, it's not a horrible idea. And I'm not just thinking and writing about this cause I'm bored and have lots of free time today. Just like I didn't make the last post for that reason either. Not to mention that it's also not cause Mom and Dad have been bugging me lately and so do not deserve it for me to be thinking about trying not to waste their money. It's not. Now go away the post is over.
