USB Is the Devil's Connection 474
Jamie handed us Satan's Data Connection. You see, sane and rational human being, the
USB logo is actually in the shape of a trident, and the obvious action to Evangelical Christians in Brazil is to ban its use. Hopefully they don't mispronounce SCSI and find themselves lusting after their PCs.

Wait, they tried to pronounce it "sexy?" Because nothing says "sexy" to me like the sweet, sweet curves of the Mac IIcx [allaboutapple.com].

IT doesn't work that way in real life. I told a bunch of Jehova's witnesses that I was a Devil worshiper in order to get them to leave me along. This didn't work, they came back in larger numbers and prayed for my. they followed me to work and other stupid shit praying for me. My boss asked me what the hell was going on (as he was completely anoyed by this as was about to fire me), so I told them that after they knocked on my door about twenty times asking me if I head the good news, I told them I was a devil worshiper and told them to get off my property. We had to explain to their pastor that it was only a ploy to get them to leave me the fuck alone in order to get them to leave me the fuck alone.
The cops wouldn't even stop them as they stayed mostly on the sidewalk and public right of way.
I later found out that the easiest way to get rid of them is to simply say "I'm catholic" and then listen to a bunch of crap about Marry being a whore for a few minutes. But if you pretend to be a devil worshiper to get rid of them, it's likely to backfire on you.

A friend related an even better and faster way to get rid of them: next time they come a-knockin' be sure to greet them straight out of the shower, "accidentally" drop your towel when they start sermonizing you (bonus if they have one of their teen sons along, which they almost always do), then after quickly picking it up and covering yourself again, feign a sudden change of heart and earnestly ask when their next meeting is and you'd very much like to join them to talk more.
The two JWs practically ran over each other to leave his property, and haven't been back since.

I got a visit from them at a similar time (~9 am on a Saturday) but it was a family of four -- father in the lead, wife, son, and daughter standing behind. I answered the door and he asked if they could come in and speak to me. I said "No... but the girl can stay." That got rid of them pretty quickly.

In response to your comment, I've created the Small Electronic Component System Interface, which is 100% compatible with the Small Computer System Interface as it uses the same cables, pinouts, protocols, and voltages.
Now we can all have our SECSI interfaces. In fact, your SCSI interface is now a SECSI interface and your SCSI cable is not a SECSI cable. And "sexy" is the proper pronunciation.
That said, choosy moms pronounce GIF as "jif"; they also annoy me.

I always get a laugh out of people who pronounce gif as jif - and yes, I know the creators of the format used a soft G, but that is wrong. Acronym letters should take the sound of the letters in the word they replace.
What about the illiterates who pronounce, "gigabyte" with a hard G?
It's the same root as the word, "gigantic." Get it right.
