Sly Giddlehauser wanted his Altec Lansing M604 Zune
Speaker. He wanted to use it with his Zune. He wanted to use it with
the mp3 players that belonged to his friends. And he was ready to meet
the devil to do it.
Sly Giddlehauser pocketed his Zune as he
stepped out of the old beat up truck. He walked into the Speaker Castle
and looked around. There was the place. Right where aisle sixteen met
aisle forty four. The crossroads.
Sly Giddlehauser pulled up
a chair. He thought hard about the high-def audio with digital
amplification. The mystic XdB™ bass-enhancement technology that made
deep bass without a subwoofer. The legendary universal dock that
allowed for data transfer and recharging at the same time. As the
lights went out, he even allowed himself to dream about a Composite
Video Output for his Zune video, as well as a Universal MP3 Cradle
with cable, just in case any of those non-Zune friends came over. Sly
Giddlehauser kept all this in his mind as he heard the howl of the
motorized floor washer (or maybe it was a wolf?) and he kept his
thoughts focused.
Just like Robert Johnson took the blues, or Bill Gates took DOS, or Louis Pasteur took the secret of winning Galaga, Sly Giddlehauser planned to take that Altec Lansing M604 Zune
Speaker. He squinted as the rebate forms flew in the hot breeze, a
tornado of discounts against his arms. He tried to calm himself,
wondering how the two 3” full-range drivers and two silkdome 1”
tweeters would sound when he used the built in wall mount in his living
room. Or maybe the bedroom? The wireless remote would mean he’d never
need to get out of bed to change the song or video.
The wind
was now a raging storm, full of heat and smoke. Sly Giddlehauser looked
down aisle 16, at the dark center, hearing nothing but agony and wails
of desperation. He took a deep breath and choked on the smell of
sulphur and cheap barbeque flavored corn chips. He felt a fear he had
not known since the day he almost dropped his copy of Bob Marley:
Legend in the toilet. And at that moment, Sly Giddlehauser knew he was
not the one.
The staff at the Speaker Castle had grown used
to what they would find in the morning. They sent the intern over to
aisle 16 to pick up the box. The intern came back with a brand new
Altec Lansing M604 Zune Speaker in perfect
condition. They didn’t even look to see the tear that ran, just for one
second, from the place where an eye once was.
