Turning Out The Lights

[howeird]

Not me. I'm way past the point of supporting futile gestures. When I saw Google's page had gone to a black background, I continued to use their site because, hey, if they were serious about supporting the lights-out thing they would have shut down their service and put up a 404 error page saying why.

What "lights out" thing? When I went to the Google page it was the standard white...

It was last night. You missed it. Here's the general story:

And this one is about Google's stoopid role in it:

I agree with you completely. I spent Saturday night with every light on, the cell phone chargers plugged in with no phones attached and ate foie gras.

Did you put on a heavy coat and turn on the air conditioner?

Yep, and I kept the car running all night with its airconditioner on too.

Good man! I left the fridge open and the oven broiler too while I rented a stretch Hummer.

Did you drive to the mall (while intoxicated with no seat belt on) to buy a baby seal skin coat?

I also drank a six pack of coke and then threw the cans in the trash while crumpling up old newspapers while chopping down a tree and apply lotion to my face that was tested on bunnies.

Drove through the mall (couldn't find the drive-thru window so I made my own - blame the meth, I never drink & drive) but Nieman Marcus was fresh out of harp seal so I had to settle for snow leopard with mink and ermine trim.

Too bad you had to throw away the Coke cans, it's a lot more fun tossing them out the window on the freeway. BTW, those test bunnies cook up real good, once you've cleaned them up. I had a stew pot on the big burner, potatos on one of the small ones, mixed veggies in the third and butter melting in the fourth. Thanks heavens for the air con!
