Windows Vista? Is Microsoft trying to sell an operating system or a minivan? i suppose it’s catchier than Windows XP, but it still sounds rather bland. At least Apple uses cool-sounding animal names like Tiger and Panther for its OS. Couldn’t M$ come up with something similar. Like, I don’t know, Windows Platypus. Or Windows Emu. At least people would remember the brand.
I just returned from the store with copious amounts of alcohol for tomorrow’s party. Since Wisconsin blood still runs in my veins, I had to buy a case of Leinie’s. You know, I still have never gotten property drunk. Do you think I’d be a mean drunk or a friendly-bordering-on-inappropriate drunk?
Well, you might walk funny after imbibing.
You wouldn’t be a mean drunk or a friendly-but-inappropriate drunk. You’d be more of a catatonic drunk. When you first start feeling it, you’ll find yourself asking “What?” quite a bit, but more than a monosyllable would be too much strain. Soon thereafter, “What?” would be shortened to “Wha?”, followed not much later by the devolving “Huh?” After a few more ounces, you’d be almost completely lost with “Hu?” after which you’d be completely nonresponsive to any external stimuli.
You know, just like anyone.
