Testing a new printer to get the ink aligned right and make sure it works properly is a very boring task. Basically, you load up the ink cartidges, type some random words in a word document to fill a page or two in black and in varying sizes. And then you print it off. If it looks faded or there's missing letters or something, you start again. Exciting right?
Well... here's how you have a liiiiiittttllleee fun with it~
First, you let your fandom side out: red rust bronze gold olive jade teal cobalt blue indigo violet tyrian ghost terror disk atom (These are supposed to range from size 72 right down to size 8 so you'll just have to use your imagination. And as you can see, it's the troll blood colours and the kids' shirt symbols.)
And then you type something totally out there. Way beyond the confines of that constraining box of thought. Go wild. I was working with my Mum so I figured I'd try to make her laugh. feed the printer goblins your precious ink or we will refuse to work for you mistress. Psssttt don’t look now but there’s an imp waving a hammer right behind you. Are you convinced that we exist? We can screw with you a little more if you like. Just need to fill this page with random text, right? Test the printer? Make sure it works? Oh it works, we just don’t feel like co-operating. Licking printer ink onto everything makes our tongues ever so rough. And licking tiny letters only makes it more difficult. (Again, this si supposed to range from size 72 to size 8. Just these bits of text I've bolded took up two pages.)
It worked, Mum laughed and I grinned like an idiot.
