You wouldn't believe what happened to me last week...
There I was, sitting on the back patio of my apartment, sippin' on a sweet tea and watching these two young pretty teens playing tennis. I was really admiring their, uh, muscle tone, and the grace with which they hit the ball over the net, squealing with joy when they got a point. Oh, to be a young teenager again... I was thinking of inviting them over for tea, and -- but I digress...
Anyway, like I was saying, I was sitting and enjoying the peaceful afternoon, when all of a sudden inside the apartment I hear a CRASH!!! I rushed inside to see what had happened, and wouldn't you know it, the dog somehow managed to knock over the computer desk. He was a beautiful dog, a jet-black labrador retriever, but very frisky, and full of mischief. I got him at the pound last month, and we have been fast friends ever since. He really loves to play with the frisbee -- but I digress...
So, there I stand, in total shock, my monitor screen cracked, my tower case smoking, CD cases scattered everywhere... and the damn dog was chewing on my Unreal Tournament CD. He must have thought it was a frisbee. I chuckled. Oh, well, no loss there. I had tried playing UT a couple of times, but man was it a lousy game. It was so lame! Oh, sure, the graphics are outstanding, and the menu system made setting up a server a breeze. And yes, the mutators are a cool addition, and the weapons were very balanced... but I digress...
Suddenly, I spotted it. My LoD CD! It was sitting in the middle of the destruction, a spotlight from above shining down and illuminating the CD case, causing a splendor of flashing, sparkling colors to shine forth. The sounds of angels singing and harps playing filled the air, as I bent down to pick up the glorious disk.
Then I noticed it.
A bottle of ink had crashed onto the floor, spilling everywhere. A corner of the case was sitting in the ink, but I thought "well, as long as the CD is ok..." I opened up the case with trembling fingers, and carefully removed the precious disk from its holder. I slowly turned over the disk to view the playing surface...
... and breathed a deep sigh of relief! No ink! Whew! Dodged a bullet there! Smiling and happy, I replaced the disk in its case, and shut it. As I turned to place the disk on a shelf, that's when I noticed it -- the ink had completely blotted out my CD key! I couldn't believe it! Now when I rebuilt my computer and reinstalled Diablo, I wouldn't be able to play online!!! Oh, the horror!
What was I going to do???
I broke down, and started bawling my eyes out. Oh, my dog tried to cheer me up by renewing his attack on the UT disk, but it was just no use. I was devastated. Worst of all, I had just gotten fired, and only had $8.34 to my name, and I planned on getting an Extra Value meal at McDonald's. My favorite is the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese, with a Coke. They really have the best fries too, in my opinion -- but I digress.
So, it is on bended knee that I ask you this. I am at my wit's end, and I just don't know what to do any more. If you wonderful people at Zelaron can't help me, I might just have to end it all. Yep, that's right... no more computer for me. I know! How horrible would that be???? So my question to you is...
Does anyone have a CD-key I can use?
Thanks a bunch in advance!
