King of the Lab

This is a term used by Dr. Jack Hodgins on "Bones" a particular favorite show.


He uses it when one of his scientific crime scene discoveries makes a breakthrough in a case.


The curmudgeon has found it handy to use at home.  When something technical goes amiss, what with Apple tv, cable tv, high-tech phone provider, who are you going to call to start fixing it?  


The curmudgeon, ever focused on saving time, starts to do it himself.  Happily, what I call the South Park fix - just unplug things, plug them back in, and hope for the best (which is pretty much the first step when you call any one of the above-mentioned guys) often works, but, sometimes, there is something lurking deeper that needs fixing.  And when I nail it, arms over the head, I yell "King of the Lab!"


For some odd reason, this sends the cats into hiding.


But, I AM King of the Lab.
