If only I have something to double click

The mouse wheel on my optical mouse broke two weeks ago. Yes, the mouse wheel broke. Don't ask me how that happened, because I have no freaking clue.

I guess that's what I deserve for going with a cheap ass brand like A4Tech. Yes, I just called A4Tech cheap ass, but it's not really an insult. After all, "A4Tech" stands for "A4dable Technologies"... clever, eh? Hey, I'm a cheap ass, and I totally love A4Tech and their $6 mice.

Anyway, when I talked to my mom on the phone last week, I casually mentioned the broken mouse wheel. Luckily for me, she had an extra mouse stashed somewhere, and she sent it to me yesterday. Of course it's an A4Tech mouse--where do you think I got my cheap ass gene from?

But wait, there's something unusual about this one. Check it out. It has a small extra button that allows you to double click with just one click....

Sweet! Sounds like a nifty feature for lazy bastards like me, heh. Everyone knows that double clicking takes too much effort, right? With this mouse, I only have to spend half the energy! Isn't that wonderful?

Well, it would be wonderful... if only I have something to double click! Afer more than 24 hours, I still haven't found a use for the magic button. I spend a lot of time on the Web where double clicking is almost non-existent. And I already set my Windows Explorer to open files with single clicks, so no fun there either.

Now that I've come to the bitter realization that I don't double click anymore, the extra button that was once so exciting has become utterly meaningless. Meaningless! How depressing. Maybe I should go buy a ridiculously expensive Logitech mouse to cheer myself up.

You mean all those times that

I called cats selfish, lazy, and evil? I'm sorry, but it's true :-P

At least they're smarter than dogs. There, I said something nice about cats for once. Yay!

I found a site

where you can double click anything even when it doesn't appear to be clickable.

In fact, the word 'double click' follows you everywhere.

Oh fun!

So I double clicked randomly a few times, and now I'm looking at the definition of Hinduism. I have absolutely no idea how I got there. The power of the double click is amazing.
