Christmas in July September
So the 2.5 GHz G5 I ordered back in mid-June to replace my aging 800 MHz G4 got cancelled and re-ordered today. The previous expected shipping date was "On or before 7/30/04". Now it reads "On or before 9/10/2004". D'oh! I've still got that Apple loaner - due back a few weeks ago now! I'll be doing a sacrifice to the Apple Loan Gods tomorrow to let me keep it just a little bit longer.
For those not in the know, a sacrifice to the Apple Loan Gods is also known as a "Vegan Ritual." It typically involves burning a black turtleneck while drinking ritualistic "Blood of the Bean" (otherwise known as organic soy milk). For an extra punch, you can optionally throw tofurkey on the fire. (The soy milk helps to distract you from the smell of burning tofurkey.)

"There is no such thing as soy milk. It's soy juice. But they couldn't sell soy juice because every time you say soy juice you actually start to gag." - Lewis Black

Yep, I think of that quote now every time soy milk is mentioned on TV. Since I never see or hear about it anywhere else..

It's not soy milk because soy beans don't have breasts.

I think that is also a Lewis Black quote...?
