Bride of Clippy
OK, Microsoft has assured me that they've improved their MSN Spaces blogging software, the most important improvement being that Clippy is gone. The Microsoft rep told me they've made some major improvements to their help system.
So, today I read that...
What are you talking about??
I appreciate the input, but I think I'll just stick with the standard format. Now, if you don't mind I have to get to work.
Don't bother, I have to...oh, forget it.
So, today I read that...
What are you talking about?
You know, I really don't want a group blog, OK?
Now I forgot what the hell I was going to say.
What about her?
I really don't want to get involved in any problems the two of you might have with each other...
Yeah, well, uh...
I get it, I get it! Do me a favor, will you? If you have a problem with her, go talk to her about it.
Where was I?
WTF?
I don't want to...
Do you guys mind....
THAT'S ENOUGH!! Now, I've been very patient with all of you, but I really have to get back to what I was doing, so please take this somewhere else and leave me alone. Go on, get out!
That's better.
OK, I was going to write a post about Harry Reid. I'll just open a new file...How the hell do you open a new file with this software?
This isn't a f**king Nintendo game!
That's it, I'm done! I never should have bothered with this crap software again.
I've laughed till I was faint from lack of breath.

Welcome back, John! We're glad to see that you abandoned your so-called life for blogging once again. I mean, what's important here, right?

Well, at least you got the personal attention of all those "promoters" who drove up the price of the stinky software. Then again, you might be one of those weirdos who would rather pay $10 for software, never knowing if the Rolling Stones would say something nice about it if you paid them a few million dollars. But that's so un-American. Maybe you are a cyborg blogger from the future.

If you locate the secret cave is it still a secret?

I have a life? Oh, that's right - almost forgot. The cave will remain a secret if you don't go blabbing on some "cheats and hints" site. It's your secret.
Hey, I wouldn't even let my miniature dinosaur eat something called a "fire flower"

One of the best blog posts I've seen in long, long time.

Then you won't mind if I eat it then? If it is anything like fire water I am sure I will be fine.

Top notch. I had a crummy Friday at work and this helped to start the weekend off right. Now if only you started serving scotch here...

What's with all the alcoholic commenters? Sue Bob should be along any time now.

What? You think you're better than us? Mr. I don't make comments about booze? Huh?

Someone call security. Looks like someone's piled one too many on.

I loved it - and your original Clippy post, too. It's frightening how close to reality (at least on my work computer) this really is. The only thing missing is the IT guy laughing in the background as he tells me to "reboot." LOVE IT!

So, uh, when should we schedule our epic battle? Cuz, you know, setting my time machine is a real bitch and these nuclear power cells are a real pain to install. I kinda want to know ahead of time so I can install a fresh cell - it just doesn't seem "epic" if I can only melt half your flesh off with my Power Beam (tm)*.
*name that video game!

Clippy is annoying enough. If Arianna Huffington's face started popping up on my screen, the monitor would soon be flying out the window.
