launchpad time?

i think it was my beloved friend sarah (who's now in benin!) who taught me this awesome hi-5 + pound combination handshake ( i guess you're not really shaking hands but hey, "handshake" is an umbrella name for the group of greeting/ congratulatory forms of hand contact?) where one person's hand is a rocket launching up to infinity and the other is the exhaust of the rocket ship blasting all over the place.

this piece of equipment makes the same thing happen in your computer.

not really, but really. it does.
