MACALOPE : Wow ! Yeah ! But , in reality , the Macalope ’s more activated in a NASCAR form of way .

WINOTAUR : NASCAR ? Oh , because of the speed ?

MACALOPE : Because of the eminent likelihood of crashing and burning .

WINOTAUR : [ cough ] Maps [ cough ] .

MACALOPE : You ’re so endearingly predictable when you ’re furious .

WINOTAUR : Laugh while you could , antelope - male child , but you ’re going to be laughing out of the other side of your Mac - psyche floppy disk time slot when the Surface takes off like a skyrocket ! possibly “ RT ” stand up for “ Rocket prison term ” !

MACALOPE : As stunned as that is , it ’s a wad unspoilt than “ Run - clock time . ” Way to reach your exploiter with a name that ’s meaningful to them .

WINOTAUR : Oh , yeah ? Well , perhaps you should have renamed “ Maps ” to “ Get lose . ”

MACALOPE : …

WINOTAUR : Because … the datum is so bad .

MACALOPE : You ’re like a andiron with a bone , are n’t you ? Not to change the subject , but how ’s it going with Windows 8 ? Seems likeIntel ’s Paul Otellini thinks it needs a little more metre in the ol’ oven .

WINOTAUR : No , that ’s not it . But , anyway , entire jerking . He ’s just mad because ARM - based Windows 8 devices will send first .

MACALOPE : Sure . Presumably Michael Dell is also “ full his own Francis Bacon ” when he saysthe impact of the Surface “ will be limited . ”

WINOTAUR : Oh , totes . perchance you Apple nerds do n’t screw , but this is what break seem like , sweetcakes .

MACALOPE : Sure . Because we ’ve never seen it before .

WINOTAUR : Right . That ’s what I say .

MACALOPE : Uh - huh . Applefollowers have never seen an industry interrupt .

WINOTAUR : Yeah . Why do you keep recapitulate me ? Any - hoo , it ’s occupation school time , buck - type O ! Get ready to be re - Surfaced !

MACALOPE : You could not perchance be more tone deaf , could you .

WINOTAUR : What ? “ Re - Surfaced ” ? That ’s atomic number 79 ! Solid gold !
