I am intensely upset right now... Dave is Evil, and I can accept that, but
being a dot-com-dork myself, who was recently laid off in a large round of
cutbacks, I have taken great offense at today's strip.
I now swear this oath with all who are on this list as witnesses:
Dave Davenport, I will hunt you down
Dave Davenport, I will destroy you
Unless you can score me a job at Narbonics Labs
I will have your scalp, your wallet,
And anything else worth depriving you of.
You are Evil, and I can accept that
But I have been targetted now
I have no more stock options
And you mock me.
Thou shalt be mine to destroy.
Love. Peace. Linux. Hehe... cool. *gets his sidewalk chalk out* Sure, mutant gerbils and mad scientists may kind have a chance at it, but it's us crazy Linux...
