An unfortunate demise
Dear Dr. [Bad] Advice,
It has come to my attention that Sony will be making an announcement on Oct 2nd regarding the digital reader. This pending announcement has left me with somewhat of a dilemma - do I need to begin planning the unfortunate demise of my current Shiny Silver Sony reader? I've often contemplated the "accidental" death of one shiny object when faced with the decision of obtaining yet a new one.
This "accident" must be carefully timed - I mean, what if Sony's announcement sucks and all they're going to do is offer a teal colored leather reader cover? Also, the current Shiny Silver Sony reader has given me almost of year of reading pleasure and I wouldn't want it to suffer needlessly....so much to think about.
In reading other threads on MR (a veritable plethora of information on killing outdated shiny things), I have come up with the following potential accidental, yet lethal methods;
1. Dropping the shiny thing from the roof of a Volvo
2. A misplaced knee to the oh-so-fragile screen (a technique recently employed by none other than our own Alec)
3. A leaky ziploc baggie in the hot tub
4. The new puppy - oh dear, I did want it to be painless for the shiny thing and after witnessing the brutal slaying of one of my favorite Birkenstock sandals (have you ever tried placing an order for just one shoe - very frustrating), I shudder to think of what the shiny thing would endure.
But I digress....Dear Doctor, please let me know your thoughts on this matter as soon as possible as I must begin the methodical planning that goes with arranging an accident for any outdated shiny thing.
Respectfully yours.
