That is the sound my computer is making as of late. Ruh, ruh, ruh, zing. But more animated, like in the title of the post. It gets all slow and confused and then explorer.exe starts taking up the entire CPU and it makes that noise.
Not that I expect any of you to be able to fix it, as this thing is going on 4 years old and is probably about to hit the pasture, but wouldn't it be cool if things could be fixed by the sounds still?
Like back in the day, when the people o' yore would take their automobile into the shop and be like, "Doc (they were always Doc), the car's got a problem."
"What sound's it making?"
"Well, it's kind of like a-honkety-honkety-splat-punch."
"Ah, well, see, you must have a jimmybug stuck in the whoozit belt. (Fiddles around) Yup. All fixed."
"Thanks, Doc."
I want a computer repairman that I can make a noise to and he'll just say "Oh, that's clearly a trojan worm from Nigeria. (Presses one button) Yup. All fixed."
