Pony Party: Windows Haiku
Hi all. I hope your weekend was better than mine. My computer is completely on the fritz. It blue-screened about ten times on Saturday, despite Check Disk saying all was fine. So, I don’t know if I can host this afternoon’s Pony Party. I’ll try, though!
So, in light of my computer disaster, might I offer up some Windows haiku. This is a modification of a Windows haiku I saw in the 90s, which referred to NT.
Windows XP crashed
I saw the blue screen of death
No one hears my screams
Eek!

Superbowl Open Thread
It’s Giants 3, Pats 7, with 0:59 left in the first half.
So far, there have been a few funny commercials, but nothing of Bud.Weis.Er. fame.
Who do you want to win? Who do you think will win? I’m voting for Particle Man.
[Update: 5:44 left in 3rd Q]: Pats just tried throwing on 4th down. Oopsie. It would have been a 49-yard field goal attempt. Now the Giants have it.
[Update: 11:46 left in 4th Q]: First down at the 5 for the Giants! The score is still 3 Giants, 7 Pats. Hopefully, not for long.
TOUCHDOWN GIANTS!!!
[Update: 4:12 left in 4th Q]: Eek! Pats inside the 30.
[Update: 2:42 left in 4th Q]: Pats score. FRAK!
[Update: 1:20 left in 4th Q]: Giants still driving…
Update: 0:35 left in 4th Q]: TOUCHDOWN GIANTS!!!!!!!!!
Update: 0:01 left in 4th Q]: Belichick leaves the field. Sore loser.
GIANTS WIN! GO ELI!

The Craven: An Ode to Larry Craig
Cross-posted in Orange.
Once inside a bathroom dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
Over many a quilted rolls of tp on the bathroom stall door
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping
Again some one gently tapping, tapping ‘neath my chamber door.
‘Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, ‘tapping ‘neath my chamber door –
Only this, and nothing more.’
