HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Wow! My first column of 2009, the Chinese “Year Of The Mac” (seriously – it is true).

This promises to be a grand year, despite the prevailing economic doom and gloom. I’m setting some lofty personal goals, many of which will likely be tapped out on what I expect will be my first reliable computer since 2007. I am all a-tingle!!

Say, speaking of Mac, here’s something interesting. I read an article in the newspaper a day or so ago, about Dame Edna Everage, who just happened to be the single show we were able to take in over our two-week traipsing around and about San Francisco and Reno (Reno: We Ain’t No Vegas!).

Besides offering up a tremendous performance, the Dame appears to possess savvy business skills as well. She (he) has started a line of cosmetics. Which brand, you ask?

MAC cosmetics! I kid you not, as a professional, card-carrying non-kidder!! MAC cosmetics... The signs are all there, my friends, the signs are all there – Apple is whispering in my ear, ushering me over to a place of light and singing angels. I am powerless to resist, in this, “Year Of The Mac”.

Chow for now!!

Nice try Mr That Dan Guy. Year of the Mac, my patootie! I believe it is an Ox, not even close to resembling a Mac!
Such desperate measures, trying to taint ancient Chinese traditions no less!
Tell you what, I will get you an Ox, name him Mac and just to sweeten the pot, I will also buy you some MAC lipstick as inspired by Dame Edna and that should fulfill all your desires!
Happy New Year baby!

Clearly, you are incapable (shoe-blinded)of noting the subtle parallel. An ox is an apt description of how a Mac operates - smooth, efficient, powerful, hairy and sweaty.

Well, the first three at least...

So go ahead baby, buy me my ox!!!
