Everyone Kills Hitler

Posting here for the literary badass factor, or something. Possibly funnier if you spend a lot of time on message boards.

"So, there I was in SIPB, surrounded by computer geeks and computers when one of them turned into a giant banana. Everybody jumped on him and started eating because bananas are tasty. Except for me. I turned into a green laser and zoomed out of the building, through the walls, straight into a gathering of phosphorous superdelegates. They were busy failing to elect George McGovern, but now they attacked me like smoke-filled vultures.

Almost immediatly, we were invaded by the militant armies of Lawrence Lessig. They were on fire, they had cameras and, also, they were on fire. I was scared, so I hid in the ground while the superdelegates started breakdancing. This caused them to break their limbs. One of the militants had an antenna and I was afraid of it. But, that was OK, because the its UI really sucked.

The UI had too many buttons. Thus, it appeared that I was safe, for the time being."

The shiny people in my dorm (including rivenwanderer) have come out with a shiny shiny i3 video (we send it out to prefrosh to tell them to come here).

I mean, it is really shiny. It makes me want to live here. Hell, it makes me want to move here immediatly. Then, I remember that I already live here so all IS horrendously and awesomely shiny. (Yes, I am in it, but only for a few seconds and that is besides the point.)

I may be overethusiastic but...wow. And even our Rush looks shiny. I am one happy Randomite.

In Russian there is an old fable about a monkey who discovers a pair of glasses. Sadly, being, well, a monkey, it twirls them in its paws, puts them on its tail and never quite figures out what to do with them.

A few hours ago I have come by an old air conditioner....

15 minutes ago, I have finally suceeded in having scary hard things fall down the shaft. Not the air conditioner itself, but auxillary attempts to get it to stay in a window. Meep?!

Starting tomorrow, I shall officially be a keyholder in the MIT Science Fiction Library! w00t! Double-w00t! Quadruple-w00t! Squared! Cubed! Integrated!

Hey, wait a sec...

I'll explain this once I stop bouncing, I swear. *bounces off*

                          So, if I've got this right, Sethra Lavode (Secretly Anakin's father), sent
                        the Kwisatz Haderach to Endor to conquer the Ewoks using the Morganti
                        Lightsaber of Kieron the Conquerer, but was thwarted by Gandalf, who slew
                        the Balrog that Jabba the Hutt keeps in a pit below his throne, then gave
                        the Imperial Orb to Frodo to carry to the Jenoine's world, and throw it
                        into a river of amorphia, thus saving all of the galaxy from the Imperial
                        Warlord, Darth Vader, who,in actuality, is secretly Mario.

                        Is that it?


In a disscussion of spoilers of Orca and the ethics of thereof. By the way, I have now finished Orca, which means I am no longer spoiled by the spoilers that I kind of knew anyway and I have also finished a Feast For Crows which was pointles in my opinion, but not Kendra's who monitored me running around explaining the awesomeness at what she says was "every chapter".
