5 And it did come to pass that on the 25th day in the fifth
month of the 0th year of the third pre-millennium, Bitscape
did officially sell his soul to billg;
6 For on that day, he did'eth drive his car down
to the temple of corruption and commerce, and amidst
that journey, he did'st make a hefty purchase.
7 Not rash was his thinking -- for this
premeditated act had been concieved of and pondered
upon many days in advance. The lure of the serpent is
great, my friends. The lure of the serpent is great.
8 And Bitscape did'eth examine many of the items
there -- over two hours did he spend examining the
various models, and travelling to different stores to
comparison shop. At last, he chose upon his purchase.
9 And the happy bank account depletion card
begat this, and the happy bank account depletion card
begat that; for the mind of a geek knows no
boundries.
10 And he did'eth emerge from the temple, not
shouting, cursing, turning tables at the mechants, and
behaving more disruptively than a Natelie Portman
N&P troll during a flame war. No, my friends, no
such commotion did he evoke.
11 The boy emerged with What? With goods in
hand a plenty!
12 A Phillips CRT, a DVD player, and (gasp!) two
titles containing content in said format. So large was
one of the items that it required removal from its
external packaging before it could be loaded into the
horseless carraige.
13 And he did'eth return to the Louisville
Compound to unload the goods and make merry.
14 At once when he returned, the place was
vacant. And Bitscape reserved no haste in his effort
to transport the goods from carraige to lair.
15 For now these items do sit situated, active
and beckoning unto the geek to press the
"Play" button.
16 But know this, children of Slashdot! Lord
Stallman shall smite them down, just as he smote those
whose proprietary smut offended and evoked the wrath
of the Holy Gnu.
17 And let all who bow down and make offerings
at the temple of Neo be warned: Ye shall get your just
comeuppance.
No comeuppance, I say! No comeuppance! :)
Amen.
Amen.
