Riker is a Modem Murderer



We're up in O to the K for a funeral, and we're staying with Meg's dad. The second we showed up, Riker (who never pees in the house) became so excited by Glenn's dog Wiley that he immediately pissed all over the floor. Well, that's fine... Meg cleaned it up, we set our stuff down, and let Riker and Comet out into the backyard.

Flash forward five minutes. Walking back in the front door with the ice chest, I saw that black and white spotted dog of ours sniffing around next to the computer, lift his leg and piss directly into the vents on the side of the cable modem.

Me: "Mother-fucking son-of-a-bitch!"
Modem: SNAP SNAP CRACKLE CRACKLE (sparks and flickers of flame lick out the side of the modem)
Me: "God-damn-it!" (pulling the plug out of the wall)
Modem: (smoke pours out the now black base)

So Riker pissed directly onto the transformer of a Surfboard Cable Modem and destroyed it. I felt really bad about it, and consequently haven't been able to use the internet. The moral of this story is: don't let Riker near your modem, because he fucks them shits up.
