Bed Time Audio Book

Listening To: the sound of money gurgling its way down the drain as the pipes heat up this late at night.

i just had to interrupt my sleep cycle to tell the world about my new discovery: the post-modern lightbulb joke.

HOW MANY Wii OWNERS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB?

i haven't thought of any good answers yet, or rather, none that i'd risk my blogging reputation for, but i invite you to submit some suggestions.

The Inspiration: i stumbled on a forum post entitled "why do wii owners never get arrested" and it showed links to news stories on a halo gamer that allegedly killed someone, a 13-yr-old that graffitied loads of xbox games n a store, etc. while most thread replies agreed that it was because you can't arrest 6 year olds (ba-zing?), it ended up going down the "lightbulb" route, and i heartily approve (i myself put forward the theory that wii owners were too easily distracted by shiny, colourful objects to have the focus needed to commit crimes).

so i conclude: arpanet internet does indeed contribute to culture, but we need a new word for it to sit snugly next to pop culture.

ooooh! post-pop culture?

Sigh Of Contentment: well-earned, for services to comedy kind. you can thank me later.

Wii users do it with motion sensors.
Wii users do it with nunchucks.
Wii users do it standing up.

etc etc.
