It Doesn't Matter What It Is, You'd Sell A Kidney Just To Wait In Line For It.

Around the world, the gnashing of teeth and tearing of clothes has greeted the sad news of Steve Jobs’ untimely death at fifty-six.  However, like Christ, the deity to Whom the Silicon Valley innovator is most often compared, Jobs leaves behind a devoted and cult-like movement composed of individuals each of whom is convinced that only he or she is the recipient of the true message.

Bill Gates, Along With A Third Of The Programming Host, Was Cast Down From Silicon Valley Into The Pit Of Redmond.

Of death, Jobs said, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.”  This statement has caused no small amount of confusion among His disciples, causing factions to form based on the varying interpretations of Jobs’ Word.  “We await the great 2.0,” says one apostle, “On which Steve will return to us, bringing the OS that will set us free.”  Others believe this message to be purely symbolic, expressing Jobs’ wish that acolytes continue to spend money on Apple products long after His own iTunes account had been deleted.

Ever Wonder What Ashton Kutcher Would Look Like If He Were Old And Afflicted With Pancreatic Cancer?

This is a difficult, lonely time for those people who appreciate how others appreciate their tastes, be they orthodox or reformed.  These lost souls can take some comfort from the wondrous relics Jobs has left behind, and draw warm consolation from the knowledge that the uproariously funny David Sedaris is still doing his thing.

"For Whosoever Sayeth Unto You, 'My PC Is Rife With Illness, And Must Surely Die,' Say You Also Unto Them, 'I Wouldn't Know; I Have A Mac."

By Smaktakula

So much in life can hinge upon a single decision.  Once made, some choices come with attendant consequences which are difficult to foresee, but which can exert profound effects upon the whole of a person’s life.  These may be correct decisions, like choosing not to blow one’s unemployment check on lottery tickets again.  Sometimes they’re poor decisions, like torching an apartment complex.  For good or for ill, an individual’s permanent record is a partner for life.

What today’s youth tend to forget is that while a permanent record is built by the young, it must be carried by the old.  The information contained in a person’s permanent record can affect his career options and future earning potential, the type of friends and hobbies he will have, and even the attractiveness of his future mate.

We present the following cautionary example:

Perhaps This Isn't The Best Example. Still, Can You Imagine How Good His Life Would Be Right Now If He Didn't Have A Record?

Stay in school.  Stay out of trouble.  Don’t throw your life away.

Our permanent record,
Should you want to know,
Is pure and clean
Like the driven snow.
Burma Shave ∞T.
