Come on guys, don't be so hard on the guy.

It's not like we ALL haven't spilled beef fat on our computers at some point, right??

I am ocd about it, no way! I cant even stand the thought of my machine smelling of cooking that I'd ever cook near it, the reason, well it goes like this,

Client: I can smell beef, have you got a beef laptop?

or

Client: your laptops making me feel hungry, sorry cant buy any nice pictures today, gotta run, I need a maccy D


Get the picture?

Besides, I dont eat meat it tastes like ****, but hey two girls one cup!

.... LOL...

why would it be me hes the dumbass.. i was on ichat with my friend and he wanted to see his hair cut so i showed him on video then he has like a bowl of like sheapards pie... and it has alot of greese hes like you want some?? your hungry?? *tilts bowl* *tilts bowl* so he can see it BOOM it goes all over my f1-3 keys..

i dont even know why he brought the bowl over.. such a moron

Don't know if this makes a difference but if it was "Sheperd's pie" your friend spilled it would be lamb fat, beef fat would be associated with "cottage pie":rolleyes:

This is actually true, I was going to say something, but then decided against it. So really what you were trying to say is that your "friend" was eating over your computer and spilled fat from whatever he was eating on it, and now you don't know what to do...

I say just have him pay for whatever damages there may be.

I would spread some old newspaper, turn the laptop upside down, try and find the angle where the fat drips down onto the paper rather than spread further into the laptop when I'm heating the laptops keyboard with my girlfriends hairdryer.................DO NOT get beef fat on the hair dryer A: it could catch fire, not good:( B:your girlfriend will kill you, still not good:(

If it works:)

I would get the laptop looked at, beef fat can be used as flux for soldering or plumbing.

Good luck, use the force Luke:)

In different countries people call things different things...:D

k, if I were in someones territory then I could sound/be/look/taste foreign. but I'm not, I'm in my territory, the internet is no mans land so how can I be foreign?

But maybe I just got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning and needed a good dose of wtf lol:)

Actually, I think the OP is from your side of the pond :)

Yeah, I guess that's why Apple installed beef fat sensors in its laptops.

So the OP's laptop warranty is screwed as he has probably tripped the ones in his MacBook Pro.

;):D:p:apple:

While we are on the subject of beef. Does anyone know where I can get an alternator sized hunk of beef?
 
I laughed the whole time reading this thread. But I have to ask, how the hell did this happen? The only thing I could imagine is that you were eating a plate of Roast Beef or steak and you picked up the plate for some reason and spilled it on your MB... I mean do people actually walk around with cups of piping hot beef fat? It could only be hot, because if it were cold, it would be orange and mushy... ew
