monitor lizard


rare skin condition that affects one in seven geeks born before 1982- caused by unreliable crt monitors exploding inexplicably in one’s face. the resulting scabs often form in a regular pattern resembling scales, hence the moniker, lizard.
monitor lizards were generally regarded with fear and awe by the geek and hacking communities until the mid-nineties when it became fashionable to sport a ‘monitor print’ by deliberately exploding a monitor on a person’s head.
after the loss of its influence as a status symbol, the monitor lizard gradually faded from the annals of history and time past.

(-information accurate as of june 1990. although some dismiss the monitor lizard phenomenon as an urban legend, 72% of all seven year olds surveyed attested to the story’s validity.)
