A few years back (1999) NULLSOFT, the company responsible for WinAmp, (A shareware --> then FREE music player) was purchased by AOL for 100 million so that AOL could get in on the downloaded music craze
Fast forward to 2006 .. a more and more out-of-touch-with-reality corporate exec is sitting in his highbacked leather chair .. when in rushes his youthful and spritely office boy who happens to listen to Kim Komando's radio show ... BOSS, BOSS .. have you heard about this downloaded wallpaper craze .. it's all the buzz right now .. I heard that ZIFF-DAVIS is planning on making some aquisitions soon
The grizzled corporate exec, who's name happens to be Ted, last name obscured by a coffee cup blocking his name plaque, rubs his chin and closes his eyes .. to sleep, perchance to scheme ... twenty minutes later the heavy lidded eyes jolt open as though with new hydraulics and a fist comes down on the desk HARD ... fingers are pointed, gestures are gesticulated, orders are barked, desktop office applications have their icons double-clicked
Slowly waltz over to 2007 .. try as they might to keep things secret .. word leaks out .. and, to the chagrin of big city newspapers and wire services, it is *caedes hometown of Plum Possum Puddin, Tennessee that breaks the story first. It seems he thought nobody would notice him buyin' a new tractor for his daddy .. but you just can't wave $150 cash around "PPP, T" without people noticing. Plans are made, lemonaid is brewed .. and they even rolled in a few backhoes and raised their buckets so that confetti could rain down from a proper elevation
What will the C-Man do with his millions when the corporate world catches wind of the membership numbers and swaps him greenbacks for backdrops ...
While you were asleep your chair was wired for demographic data mining ... it's not that *geri couldn't have written that script .. I'm sure he could .. he just didn't care to know whether you swivel to the left or to the right
discuss
(**this started out as a simple poll .. then I got carried away .. and then had no steam left for the poll .. but, I wouldn't want to cramp your creativity with a fixed selection**)
