On the Road Mode

You might be moded this way if you are on a road trip with one or several close companions, especially if the road trip is totally aimless, the destinations improvisational and spontaneous, and you have no solid long-term plans for the future whatsoever; helps too if you are a messed up poet or author and you are going around the country to stay at the homes of other messed up poets and authors. (Especially potent if you are driving from a long distance to Texas, New Orleans, or San Francisco).
Went On the Road Mode last month. Went up to San Francisco and crashed in Daly City with my big sis. She's a painter. We arrived at midnight, and had a coffee with her once we got in before going to bed at around 5am. Next day we took a bunch of LSD and wandered around the Beat Museum over on Telegraph Hill. Then we crashed with some UC Berkeley friends on Telegraph Ave, where we did some benzedrine before going to bed at around 5am.

Friends and I just drove up to Buffalo randomly for the weekend to see our friends at SUNY Buffalo. Wasn't that much of a road trip but since we went for no reason and were eating at rest stops and stuff it was On the Road Mode a couple times.

Tech On The Road

A person that makes hilarious comments that make no sense at any location, any time of day. This person is also very tech savvy, and can salvage, and make suprisingly good repairs to, any piece of technology. Any actions by Tech On the Road are known as teching.

The person is also often quite deft. A Common nickname for Tech On The Road is: "The Zap." The zap finishes all of his work and repairs at impressive speeds. He also finishes other things at very impressive speeds, the latter of which he is not particularly proud of. However, the excessive amounts of swag and tech-on-the-road-esque character is stand-alone very impressive and thus makes up for the above minor setback. The official tech-on the road apparel consists of smelly, overused dress shoes, a consequence of excessive teching, and a yellow burton jacket, the result of a clearance sale. This is one of tech-on-the-road's many costumes.

Common Nicknames for a tech on the road: The Toche, Brosha, the Zap, Joe.
Random: "Hey, why isn't excel giving me the line of best fit?"
Tech on the road: "Dude you have to click and do this *action*."
Random Observer: "AYOOOO, TECH ON THE ROADDD."
Tech on the road: "No problem, they call me the zap."
Random Observer 2: "Because he finishes so quickly!"
Random Observer 3: "Riiiighhhtttttttt!?!"
