my saturday night.

It's amazing how many people don't vigilantly delete their internet histories on public computers. This is sometimes humorous.

I leave it there, let the world know, I like tits.

And that you fired up You Tube to watch 'Gaston' from Beauty and the Beast, 'Part of Your World' from The Little Mermaid and 'Feast of Fools' from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (and don't even play like there ain't no Hannah Barbera on your hitlist).

And various other orifices and members.

TELL ME ABOUT IT! I fix computers both professionally and recreationally, and I find myself learning ALL KINDS of stuff . . . like my brother-in-law's porn tastes. my father-in-law's porn tastes and my niece's eating disorder, etc.

This is an Achewood-only thing? It always seemed like some kind of universal need to want to look for what people have tried to hide on their computer. Maybe I'm just alot creepier than I imagine?

You are a lot creepier than you imagine. Fortunately so is EVERYONE ELSE.

i check other peoples' histories as often as i can.

it is your turn.

That sounds like the kind of discovered things that are all actually the same thing.

also, in the situation of adolescence friend's parents computer, this is often disastrous.

dammit...

adolescence AND friend's parents computer. AND is the key word here.

What, was one of them cheating on the other or something?

You laugh about this, but this is how a girl in my class senior year of high school found out that her mother was sleeping with her ex-boyfriend. True story. Mom was pretty hot too.

Also clear cache.

This is more spectacularly good advice than comic strip.

Hehe, a bit of Dilbert Humour, I notice the strip became much much funnier when Onstad started injecting more of his thoughts and life in it.

It also helps to clear out the hidden Recent folder in your Documents and Settings if you tend to look at pictures and watch downloaded movies. I'll always check someone else's Documents list for "gaping.jpg" or "XXX_Katherine_trashbag.wmv" first thing. It's always funny.

"birthday_cake_bottoms1.jpg" cannot be found. Do you want Windows to search for this file?


basic, yet effective comedy.

Funny cuz it's true.

As evidenced by this strip , it seems.

i mean this

I think this every time I...ahem...use the internet.

every single time i 'browse'

Truth.

Sound advice.

Excellent advice from Téodor.

So true...

Why even have a history folder? The only thing it does is cause problems and horrible explanations to my mother.

I'm sorry. :[

Look at the monitor being all rude by being all over that strip outline.

There's no clipping rectangle that can hold that monitor!

That monitor will just not conform to comic strip standards.

I refused to let people use my labtop so i thought it would be cool to not delete.WRONG!

Ouch. That's a bad burn. Were you discovered?

haha so true, so many misadventures begin with not deleting my history file

If you count boring, whining, accusatory soliloquys from your girlfriend as misadventures.

Depends on the severity of their Mental Health issues.

what a sad daily routine...that feels so good

This strip is funny, but I have to say that it is probably the most mainstream joke that Onstad ever made.

This strip really speaks to me on a personal level.

im going to delete my post vigilantly

why i roll IE Days To Keep Pages In History: "0", electing not to keep a history from FF.

these are my secrets. mine alone.
my reasoning is wanting to keep all the precious disk space as i can.

(no, seriously, that is my real reason.)

lol...i think that most single guys can relate...
