I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Grab a DOS bootdisk and fdisk.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

God damn, how much more can you suck at life?

It's called Google.

You can answer all of those questions easily with Google!

This is why you shouldn't drink. It turns you into a retard.

Apparently you have.

He wants you to fdisk from a DOS bootdisk.

Yes...
does anyone know how i can delete one?
Unless you want me to interpret it as deleting from the universe... then grab a ray gun or something.

:-\  I use a disk wiper.  Loops through the whole disk writing 0's, sure everything can be recovered but you get a clean HD. :)
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...
