It's 10:57 Eastern Standard Time and I'm looking at the Amazon.com web page waiting for another salvo in what's being called a "Cyber War" by the media. Yes, them Wikileak bogey men are going to bring down Amazon, for some reason I can't imagine.
Three minutes until it's supposed to crash and I'm reading the news. Cyber Wars, bizarre sex crimes, intimidation of the public who might happen to read Wikileaks or express insufficient hate for Julian Assenge - and who is reading about the Citicorp bailout being paid back at interest to the substantial profit of the country? Who is reading about improvement in the job market?
11:00 and all is well at Amazon - and wow, that's a great price on that hand held GPS! Is it too late to update my Christmas wish list?
11:08 I hate to wait and I'm getting bored.
11:10 Hey listen, I know this is a Cyberwar and all that, but if I don't see some Shock 'n Awe I've got some other things to do.
11:13 You know what? Why don't I check back later. . .
11:44 AM - Hi Captain, how are things in Guacamole? Captain ... Captain ... ?
ReplyDeleteGuacamole? a green furry thing that lives underground?
ReplyDeleteRainy and cold here, but Amazon is still up and running.
How 'boutchoo?
How boutmeee, you ask? Looked out my porthole this morning. The birds are using warm mittens to pull worms out of the ground, and my fruit trees are bearing frozen orange juice.
ReplyDeleteAmazon Death Watch?
ReplyDelete..here I thought more statistics on
deforestation in the Amazon basin!
Well lucky me for placing my order on Wednesday then because I got my 4 books I ordered today.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, do NOT fuck with people's Xmas shopping.
And Amazon is still running smoothly this morning, for which this procrastinator is grateful.
ReplyDeleteOf course at noon Wednesday, the excuses began and they claimed they were now going to attack Paypal - which is still chugging along just fine today (Saturday)
Yeah, right.
