The Hawthorne Life

Have you ever had to see this face before? I hope not because it is the worst thing that ever happened an iPod.

Well... as it turns out, that face turned up on my iPod the other day. This is not good, considering the McNeil family has had some serious iPod trouble lately. My sister, MG, left all of her windows (and sunroof) down in her car and it stormed very badly. Water poured into her car and her poor iPod died from water damage (it was in a cup holder immersed in water).
ANYWAYS....
So, I have a sad face, MG has a water damaged one, and Ivy had one that had a busted screen (she had already gotten a replacement, however). After searching tutorials and videos we cracked open the iPods and tried to replace hard drives and screens in the hopes that one would work.

No such luck.

Here is the logic of what came next:
We are going to throw them in the trash, right? Right.
Why not have some fun with them before they go to the landfill, right? Right.

As you know, the McNeils also love a good beatin'.


Here is what Ivy's iPod looks like after we beat it with a baseball bat. Look, I didn't say it was going to be pretty.

So, I had the bright idea of beating them to pieces. It's not like we were going to be USING them anytime soon.

I got our trusty bat, we took the three iPod out in the backyard and we let them have it. It was a good feeling.

Not a dull moment in the McNeil house!
