Damn Toasty Screensavers!

It was a few days ago that we entered class and my teacher said that the room was toasty warm. Stupid Wisconsin weather always makes things cold. Shortly after saying what he said I found quite a distaste to the word "toasty". It is probably the most pathetic way to describe an object that isn't a food. Honestly, why would you want a room feeling toasty? It almost makes me think that I have become so oversized wheat product that was left in the oven to long, and trust me, it isn't to great of a feeling. Knowing that if you ever walk into a city that you will be eaten by a flock of pigeons isn't too exciting. I don't like the idea of having to bargain away body parts to the Pigeon Mafia just to walk away with my face intact. I could see it now,
"I swear, I'll have the money by the end of the month, my family is going through a rough patch. Please, Louie, I'll pay you tomorrow!"
"Squak!"
"No!!!" What a nightmare... Its only in the case that I am eating a piece of toast will I make an exception.

Another thing that peeves me off are screen savers. How pointless are those. Very. Why would anyone pay good money for something like that. Don't go into some crappy computer store, see one, and honestly think of buying it. Just because it has fish that swim with real physics doesn't mean that it is worth the twenty dollars, especially considering that the fish can't swim with real physics because they aren't even alive nor is it even a 3 demensional space. The point of a screensaver is to save your screen while your away (pretty obvious). If its going to be moving, what is the point?! The only reason a screensaver would come up is because you are away! Your not even going to see it! What is worst is the ones that make noise, as if you didn't care enough to pay attention to your computer, it tries to get your attention! Its practically calling for you
"HEY!!! I'M STILL ON!!! HEY!!!"
"What?!"
"TOUCH ME!!!"
"No."
"Why?"
"I think you may have contracted a virus, and I don't want to have relations till I know for sure."
"Please, I got the computer doctor to check me up. See? Last check up for spyware was 2/21/09. I swear I'm clean"
...Two weeks later, you die of trichinosis. (If you don't know, you get that from infected pork, so your computer was fine.)

Worst of the worst is a screensaver that has a fire place and then someone says that it makes the room look toasty.
