Hope there is no truth in the rumour that Apple's Beloved Leader has been seen in the Moderators Suite. An Apple spokeswoman, a Miss Pippin Cox (formally Miss Pink Lady 1987), was at pains to squash the rumour at an Apple conference earlier this morning.

She was also at pains to squash any rumour that 75,000 iPad units were being made ready for distribution.

Mobileread's Spokesman retorted ...

LET THIS BE A WARNING NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS:

This lady has very few posts.

It is advisable that Members establish a relationship with the lady before potentially parting with any money - assuming the item is still available.

We are not impugning any lady's character, but Members have been burnt by unscrupulous scoundrels in the past.

He also went on to say ...

Once Upon A Time there was a very happy little cricket. She frolicked contentedly amongst the weeds, hopping and jumping and having a jolly good time eating decayed fungi, an activity that made her smile. Unfortunately, she couldn’t chirp because she was not a male, but that didn’t stop her from being ever so happy, even though she was cold-blooded. So onward she hopped, happy with herself and with her world, even when she jumped onto some nearby railroad tracks.

Funny, the song I hear is The Coconut Song by Harry Nilsson.

Cheers,

Awesome! Or High Noon: The Computer Game! Hm...

Oh! ...and when the posse rides out I'm hearing the Bonanza Theme song envisioning a map with the whereabouts of Alex & the iPad burning up around the edges!

Oooh.... now I'm driving my kids crazy, singing the Bonanza Theme! "Bum da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-DUM-DUM! Bum da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum, da-da-dum-dum-dum-dum-DUM!!!"

Now that could be a fun addition to the ebook - illustrations of the terrain around MR-Rock... Bratzzo?

I like it!! Quick Bratzzo, create it and get it posted. I'll add it to the next revision.

Now we need to figure out how to embed music into an epub...

I LOVE that song! (Can't say I think about it when I'm readin' "High Noon".)
We got it on a music CD I bought for a luau party! I need to go pull that out again!

Kermit's version is probably more in tune with the spirit of the story. (Froggy bought a coconut...)

Plus frogs are green. Green is good. Green is your friend.

Frogs also taste like chicken if they are fried.

Seasonings is a little sleep-deprived... can anyone tell?

I don't think, what with all the leather, kidnappings, nakedness, family jewels, nipple rings, and general fun that pixar would be interested in out little tale of adventure. I think we've already stepped over the bounds of a PG rating

GeoffC · 07-07-2010, 04:23 PM

It's the iPad I feel sorry for, it's taken second place to the story .....

So, if I'm following your logic...
we should eat the moderators.

Because it's wrong to eat the froggies.
