I think Strong Bads line as he checked his emails was “Keep on scrolling on my scriggeties” or some such.

Not sure what the heck scriggety means, whether it is offensive or not, but I do know that at least one person calls them the same. Mrs -pc.

Actually. This reminds me of the time I lost that very 128Mb scriggety. I quite rightly panicked as it contained some work files…the panic and search went on for a couple of days as I feverishly hunted for it. Went to the office, searched my desk and even looked in the car park. Yep, that level of panic.

Scriggety turned up on a pile of washing in the house…little swine.

Needless to say I no longer carry such files on said devices. I learned my lesson right there and then.
