Does anyone know how to clean copious amounts of blood out of several USB ports?
It's a simple question...don't make a big fucking deal about it, and don't answer my question with another question. OK?

Thanks a lot.

6. It'll give you something to eat while you're cleaning out your USB port
Perhaps a toothpick will aid you in cleaning out your port?

5. I do things like this in the back yard. No mess in the house that way.
The dog is digging up the graves, so that's causing me some annoyance.

Good luck.

7. Rubbing alcohol, make sure the power plug is disconnected
get the 100% type without scent or oil from the pharmacy.

Isopropyl is a common solvent for removing oils, fluxes etc. Make sure to get 99% pure (anhydrous) isopropyl.

14. What's with the personal questions?

13. I would go with the toothpicks and compressed air.
Use the toothpicks (round ones) to scrape the blood into flakes and then blast it with compressed air. DO NOT use an air compressor as those can spit oil. You need to find the canned compressed air with a little straw like they have on WD-40 - and make sure it isn't the kind with chemicals in it!!! If it has a warning about "open flames" or "sparks", then that's not the right product!

16. If your proxy offering was rejected...
...you can offer your soul in exchange for truly unlimited bandwidth. They'll probably be willing to get rid of the blood as part of your dark pact; I think there are other promotions going on between Imbolc and Beltane, so don't let them hook you with any per-connection fees or phony antivirus packages. Tons of people fall for that, and kick themselves throughout eternity--and that's not easy with your legs on backward.
