A Clear Picture…Of Madness?
Hmmm…this email from my friend Trent says if I grab the book nearest to me, turn to page 47, and read the 6th line, it’ll tell me my fortune. Huh. Sounds fun, I guess. But I’m sitting right next to my bookcase, so they’re all equally near to me. I’ll just grab one at random…let’s see…page 47, 6th line, here it is:
“Commander shouted. ‘The bastards will never take our 42-inch Philips TV alive!’”
Oh, please. Anachronism alert! They didn’t even have TV in the Napoleonic Wars. I’m glad I’ve never wasted time reading that one. But it didn’t tell me much about my fortune. Here, maybe this one…
“ravish me with your full-HD 1920×1080 widescreen picture! Punish me with”
Weird. I don’t remember that part of The Story of O. But I was kind of in a daze after I read it, if you catch my drift. Anyway, I’m not getting much in the fortune-telling department here. Let’s try another one…
“holy axe blew naked hipster hosannas across those 4 beatific HDMI ports”
OK, this is freaking me out. I just read On the Road last week and that line was definitely not in there. Gotta try something else…something else…OK, here’s that Jell-O cookbook I haven’t opened in years. There can’t be anything about TVs in there, right?
“Drizzle the jalapeno mixture on the built-in ATSC & QAM tuner. Add capers.”
What the hell? Who are you? Why are you doing this to me? Are you watching me? Whoever you are, stop watching me! Stop! I’ll kill you, do you hear me? I’LL KILL YOU -
OK. OK, wait a minute. Calm down. Let me take a breath here. Obviously, there’s nothing going on here that can’t be explained away. A prank, probably. You know how that Trent is! Sure, just a prank. Great job altering all those books, Trent. Sprinkling in those references to a 42” Philips 1080p HDTV. Real clever. Almost lost my mind, heh! Now, let’s kick back and see what’s on Woot today -
