Title: Keyboard or Girlfriend?
Post by: dante on Fri, 27 March 2015, 19:50:13: Sure it's an I-Rocks promoted keyboard - but I'm sure it could apply to any.

Post by: tp4tissue on Fri, 27 March 2015, 21:14:09: It really depends on how pretty the girlfriend is.

If she's 7+ .. it's 50/50, flip a coin..

If she's 8+ .. 2/3, flip 2 coins, if u get heads 2 times, pick keyboard.

The hard part, is if she's the type of girl that gets more than +1 from makeup ..

--ur gonna need some D20s to figure that out..

Post by: KeypressGraphics on Sat, 28 March 2015, 01:28:49: In favor of: Keyboard

Trading a keyboard that doesn't satisfy for one that does won't make you feel guilty.
Switching keyboards several times a night isn't a logistical nightmare.
Its easier to restore a keyboard that's been abused by a previous owner.
When you ask your best friend if he wants to swap keyboards he doesn't wonder if his keyboard will agree.
Keyboards are low maintenance and age gracefully.
Smashing your keyboard against a wall because its too loud won't result in a court order.

In favor of: Girlfriend

Keyboards aren't self-lubricating.
Keyboards can't clean themselves, let alone the rest of the house.
Banging away on your keyboard for hours isn't something you can brag to your mates about.
Nobody wants to settle for an ugly keyboard that's riddled with imperfections.
There's nothing cool about snorting coke off the backplate of a keyboard.

I apologize to at least three of my keyboards daily. My Monoprice for letting it get disgusting when I was using it and for not using it anymore, my Infinity for not using it more, my Kinesis for being too lazy and cheap to get it repaired, and now I'm apologizing to my Code because my F is just so much more satisfying.

I don't think this problem would exist. The keyboard love would be in harmony.

How do you know I wasn't deliberately steering him towards the keyboard using ambiguous language to cloak the 50/50. Casinos do it all the time.
