The Simpsons meets The Office: Ricky Gervais to pen script for 'The Simpsons'

Alright I'm already starting to piss those guys off on the MMFT forum! Supposedly if they get pissed off with me enough they can ban me from that site! Should I dare push them a little more over the edge?

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Net, There were hacker's a surfing. Nerds? Yeah, you bet. The e-mails were stacked by the modem with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The newbies were nestled all snug by their screens, While visions of Java danced in their dreams. My wife on the sofa and me with a snack, We just settled down at my rig (it's a Mac).

When out in the Web there arose such a clatter, I jumped to the site to see what was the matter. To a new page my Mac flew like a flash, Then made a slight gurgle. It started to crash!!

I gasped at the thought and started to grouse, Then turned my head sideways and clicked on my mouse. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, My Mac jumped to a page that wasn't quite clear.

When the image resolved, so bright and so quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick! More rapid than mainframes, more graphics they came, Then Nick glanced toward my screen, my Mac called them by name;

"Now Compaq! Now Acer!", my speaker did reel; "On Apple! On Gateway!" Santa started to squeal! "Jump onto the circuits! And into the chip! Now speed it up! Speed it up! Make this thing hip!"

The screen gave a flicker, he was into my RAM, Then into my room rose a full hologram! He was dressed in all red, from his head to his shoes, Which were black (the white socks he really should lose).

He pulled out some discs he had stored in his backpack. Santa looked like a dude who was rarin' to hack! His eyes, how they twinkled! His glasses, how techno! This ain't the same Santa that I used to know!

With a wink of his eye and a nod of his head, Santa soon let me know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, gave my Mac a quick poke, And accessed my C drive with only a stroke.

He defragged my hard drive, and added a SIMM, Then threw in some cool games, just on a whim! He worked without noise, his fingers they flew! He distorted some pictures with Kai's Power Goo!

He updated Office, Excel and Quicken, Then added a screensaver with a red clucking chicken! My eyes widened a bit, my mouth stood agape, As he added the latest version of Netscape.

The drive gave a whirl, as if it were pleased, St. Nick coyly smiled, the computer appeased. Then placing his finger on the bridge of his nose, Santa turned into nothing but ones and zeros!

He flew back into my screen and through my uplink, Back into the net with barely a blink. But I heard his sweet voice as he flew from my sight, "Happy surfing to all, and to all a good byte!"

"I have the buyers' remorse." -- The Simpsons

Beck, your computer must, someday look like this:

I get to fuckin work tomorrow morning instead. AND I worked Christmas eve and now I get to work fuckin new year's eve too. This really wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that for the next 2 weeks I'm scheduled to work with the worst fucking employee this store has ever hired (and that's saying something)...

SHIT.

But gimme a call about the Matahari thing. Maybe I'll be done work by then. Maybe not. But let's hope so for my sanity's sake.

I can probably give you a ride tomorrow, Al, but I have no idea what plans have been made. More importantly, though, I have no idea what people are up to right now. If you want to do boxing day, gimme a shout tonight or around 8:30-9:00 tomorrow. (Or drop me an e-mail overnight.) We'll see what we can do. I'd like to get to A&B Sound and/or Future Shop. We can do the traditional Whyte thing thereafter (it isn't boxing day unless we sully ourselves in Whyte Knight, right? (Fuck, why must that rhyme?))

(Unless, eric, that's 7 in the morning you're talking about going to 124th Street)

What are the boxing day plans? Another question is can anyone give me a lift tomorrow?

If someone can give me a lift then I'd be interested.

hey gang.
i don't know what you guys have planned for Boxing Day, but tommorow i'm thinking of a few things:
all of which consist of 124st

1) hitting up Listen records
2) MATAHARI (10108 B 124 ST) A Pan-Asian eating delight
3) Gelatos- the best EVER.

i'm thinking that the dinning'll start sometime around 7ish yeah?
gimme a shout if you're 'trested.
