RE: Spitting Coke on your keyboard/monitor when reading something funny

Yeah, but "You just made me blow clumps of shit all over my shoes" doesn't have the same panache.

I'd actually prefer reading someone just blew clumps of shit on thier shoes.

I never spit coke at my computer...

...because I don't drink that shit.

But if you did drink Coke®, you would spit it out because it takes like shit.

Spitting semen on the keyboard...now there's something that has happened to a few Chewers in the past...hopefully not while reading any of my posts.

No stories please.

Ironically enough, this happened to me this very morning - it was tea, however, not Coke, or semen.

I was reading something on SomethingAwful.com and laughed suddenly and it went down the wrong way. The monitor, keyboard, and skirt were all sprayed in my desperate attempt to not inhale my infused beverage.

But it could have been Coke. No reason it couldn't have been. Coke is nice, unlike Dr. Pepper, which is Evil.

Ladies and gentlemen, do we have a TAB® drinker in our midst?

Please don't say you are a PEPSI® man. You cannot live in Atlanta and be a PEPSI® man.

If I ever did spit Coke--it would be because of Jacob's last post in the "2 questions" thread.

Did someone say <a href="http://www.pepsi.co.jp/history/img/j06.jpg" target="_blank">Pepsiman?</a>

Hey!

Actually, now that we're on the topic, when people say "Jesus tapdancing Christ!" I kind of have a hard time believing that they are actually seeing Jesus.

Hell, I've done it before.

I'll kill you. wink

All joking aside, I worked for Coca-Cola and can verify that they are, in fact, literally evil.

Once with Sprite and once with water. Unfortunately, it was real. Cleaning up the Sprite was kind of a bitch, especially because some of it made it onto my keyboard.

Thanks for making this thread, Devin. I also don't believe anyone does this. It kinda annoys me when people say it, to be honest.

I usally say that so and so great movie is going to make me crap my pants. But it's just a saying of my enthusiam over a movie so much that I may in fact, crap my pants.

1) Well there is evidence in this thread to the contrary.

2) If you are sitting on your ass all the time, soda would be the least of your problems.

Done what? Sprayed an unspecified beverage of a diet or sugar-laden or even DNA-featuring nature over your monitor in a fit of unplanned laughter

or

Had a vision of a tapdancing Jesus?

Cos if it's the second one... thank God I'm not alone!

Aw man, I want to see a tapdancing Jesus.

Why does this not suprise me, swykk?

I've seen him, his name's Savion Glover.

Ive done it many times. I actually covered my computer monitor with cellophane once, so if I did it, it wouldnt get on the screen.

You have got to be kidding me.

hehehe...I may try that just to see what programming looks like filtered through plastic. Never spewed on a keyboard, but had milk/kool-aid eject from nostrils when I was 7.

I didn't know that spit takes actually happened in real life.

I also didn't know that this was such an issue that it required discussion.

Did you know that flight attendants use Coke to break down drain clogs?

What about spraying your monitor with mouthfuls of piping hot semen, then using your finger to write "ROLFMAO" in the mess? That still okay?

I wasn't aware that was okay in the first place. Especially at work.

Well, it's not really about muscle control, cos the whole thing is about your involuntary muscles.

Basically what I think happens is that you are looking at the screen, and drinking. So you've closed off your windpipe with your uvula (which I think is the little hanging thing at the back of your throat) and the fluid goes down your esophagus so you don't, like, drown in Coke, which would be a really grim way to go.

But if you laugh, especially if it's forcefully and you didn't expect it, air comes rushing out of your lungs, breaks the seal keeping Coke out of your lungs, and a tiny drop or two may get in. This triggers an explosive reflex as your lungs try to clear that passage stat, hence blowing fluids all over your monitor.

You can *sort* of control it if it's only a tiny drop, or you've only been sipping not glugging your drink, but really, generally, the whole thing revolves around involuntary responses.

If you're anything like me, this is going to happen a lot, as I sit at a PC for work, drink drinks all day, and am constantly looking for something new to laugh at.

It's not a big deal. I mean, I can see how it would be annoying if I came round and blew Coke all over *your* monitor, but since this lack of social grace occurs mercifully out of sight, I fail to see how it could irritate.

I knocked over a can of Coke on my computer desk a little while ago.

...sorry, I just wanted to feel included.

I always thought this was a cheesy cliche too, but then, shamefully, it happened to me.

Although that depends on your definition of "Coke." It was capitalized in the heading. In the south, we call all colas by the generic name "coke," like Indiana folk might call it "pop." So while I did in fact ruin my keyboard once by spewing coke on it, it was, in fact, a Pepsi.

It's important for people to know this.

"piping hot semen", who are these people sucking off? Satan? Yummy!

1) I did it once.

2) I think it's more often used as an expression (however hoary and cliched it may be), and not as a documented event.

This thread made me laugh so hard I urinated in my mouth and spit it into my USB port. Just one USB port, though. It would be an exaggeration if I said two ports.

Boomstick, your so fucking funny that I just prematurely ejactulated onto a copy of microsoft word 96'!

I've done it. Just never while reading anything by Devin.

Well ... lately anyway.
