Dana, look at this situation very carefully.
You're having a conversation with Randy, and it's a known fact that his system has (had?) Poltergeists.
Now, you write:
"worked fine then. Damnest thing I've ever seen. Everytime I get a new toy, something breaks. Call it bad luck, I don't know. "
YOU may not know.
But _I_ do.
It's transference, my friend. I think I saw it on an episode of Buffy, so it must be true,
The PorterPlex Poltergeist has officially moved to YOUR system.
Be afraid.
Be very afraid.
