The status of a computer that is running extremely slowly. A term used when a computer will not respond to commands. This is a reference to the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, when Ferris' teacher (played by Ben Stein) says his name during role call:"Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?"
It took forever for my computer to do anything this morning. It was in Bueller 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.
