Create an underwater appearance on your computer monitor by smearing Vaseline or other type of clear lubricant across the front. Pour a good handful of sand across the keyboard, with a shell or fish here and there to complete the scene.

If co-workers question you, tell them in a stern voice that the sea is the last unexplored territory and continue typing.

Last night, I stared at the pool for about a half hour. It was dark out, and the lights in the pool were on. I was watching the light bounce around the waves from the jets underwater; very soothing. I came inside and decided to check the HB, and my mind continued to see everything on the screen as though it was underwater. Now I see this.

I think the agency is finally on to me.

“Nice desktop theme, ben.”
“It’s not a theme, I’m using the c-shell.”

shell speakers.

Sand on the keyboard? How long are you expecting to use this setup...?

[Shz] - bad. Very bad.

[benfrost] - for maximal effects, wear a string bikini as well.

I think there's an alpha icon onscreen. Hard to tell, they keep moving about.

When I use my computer underwater, the effect that things look larger and closer comes in very handy. I can use smaller fonts, and my old 15" monitor looks like a 21".

[Detly] - don't suggest things like that to Ben. He may just take your advice.

<benfrost in a bikini> SHUDDER!
-- DesertFox, Mar 25 2005


you should see me without the bikini

You could get a rippling effect by suspending some magnets near your monitor on bits of twine, and setting them swinging.

< I came inside and decided to check the HB,>, [AfroAssault], you suggest you might also have decided NOT to check the halfbakery? Like you had a choice in the matter? Keep dreaming. Don't believe it. The agency is deeper than you think.
-- zeno, Mar 26 2005


Yes, the agency runs deep. They're involved with THE LAW.
-- AfroAssault, Mar 26 2005


the agency no doubt controls THE POOL.
