More Townsend and Townsend and Crew is info from the law firm here. Also note... you get vouchers in settlement good for buying computer related items, not just Microsoft products and/or can be traded and converted to cash!"

    "Ugh... UGH!" Chris Pirillo moaned as he squatted
    over the ThumbDrive. He eyes darted back and
    forth like a stone man and he sighed gay breaths
    as he attempted to shove the device filled with the
    entire line of eBooks into his anus. His geek house
    trembled with fag vibrations coming from his crack
    but then- his doorbell rang, whistling the tune
    from "Matlock" throughout his hovel.

    "Damn" he howled in a gay, sepulchral voice and
    slipped on a pair of pastel slacks. He trapsed to
    the threshold of his cold abode and grabbed the
    greasy doorknob that was shaped like Birdman.
    With a slavish sigh, he opened the door to see
    none other than Adam Sessler himself!

    A gay gasp escaped from Chris's dork lips and
    Adam began to speak. Quickly, Chris snapped at him.
    "Damnit for the last time you vagabond, you're not
    supposed to be here!" The revolting nerd slammed
    the door in Adam's face, but the Game Master
    quickly shoved his iron boot inbetween the door
    and the wall, wedging it open. "I have come for you,"
    he spoke in a cold tone; electric arcs coursed
    between the spikes in his cockneyed bleached hair.

    Adam howled as a blast of mystic Boohbahs
    emanated from his busy shirt and slammed
    Chris down the hall and into a Microsoft Digital
    Picture Frame. Chris grunted and swiped nerd
    dust and sheetrock from his arms. He rose to
    his feet and watched in horror as Adam brandished
    a weapon made from 3 Xbox controllers tied
    at the ends. "Oh my word! Game peripherals!"
    the dork bellowed; the stench of Cheetos and
    Diet Dr. Pepper wafted from his geek teeth.
    Instantly his palms began to sweat at the very
    sight of them, as if the grease from his McGriddle
    hadn't slicked them up enough.

    Chris tried to run from his game-playin' adversary,
    but it was too late. Adam swung the weapon above
    his head and threw it at the King of Nerds,
    entangling his legs and forcing him to the floor.
    Adam pulled a cestus made from PS2 DVDs
    out of his Spice Girls backpack and rushed Chris.
    He swiped at his turdly back over and over, causing
    streams of cold blood to squirt from his flesh.
    "Oh god, the horror, the HORROR!" Chris moaned
    as Adam butchered him relentlessly. A old Brit with
    one eye and a cockneyed accent burst into the
    room and started kicking Chris in the side.

    Chris was just about do die when... he rose from
    his bed. It was just a dream! He laughed and
    took a sip of more Brawls Guarana, hoping he
    wouldn't fall asleep again. "Time to plot..." he
    grumbled and shoved yet another pin into his
    Leo Laporte voodoo doll.
