tsarkon reports yoda doll troll 9 step process

[Anonymous Coward]

9 steps to greasing your anus for Yoda Doll Insertion!
v 3.60.0 $YodaBSD: src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/yodanotes/9.step.p rocess.sgml,v 3.60.0 2003/11/24 18:33:34 tsarkon Exp $

1. Defecate. Preferably after eating senna, ex lax, prunes, cabbage, pickled eggs, and Vietnamese chili garlic sauce. Could be done in the Return of the Jedi wastebasket for added pleasure.
2. Wipe ass with witch hazel, soothes horrific burns. (Taco can use Hazel on mouth to soothe the horrific burns from chowing on ass so much).
3. Prime anus with anal ease. (Now Cherry Flavored for those butthole lickers amongst you - oh, that is most of /.)
4. Slather richly a considerable amount of Vaseline or other anal lubricants into your rectum at least until the bend and also take your Yoda Doll , Yoda Shampoo bottle or Yoda soap on a rope and liberally apply it.
5. Pucker your balloon knot several times actuating the sphincter muscle in order to work it in.
6. Put a nigger do-rag on Yoda's head so the ears don't stick out like daggers!
7. Make sure to have a mechanism by which to fish yoda out of your rectum, the soap on the rope is especially useful because that is built in.
8. Slowly rest yourself onto your yoda figurine. Be careful, he's big.
9. Gyrate gleefully in your computer chair while your fat sexless geek nerd loser fat shit self enjoys the prostate massage you'll be getting. Think about snoodling with the Sarlaac pit. Read Slashdot. Masturbate to anime. Email one of the editors hoping they will honor you with a reply. Join several more dating services - this time, you dont check the (desired - speaks english) and (desired - literate). You figure you might get a chance then. Order some fucking crap from Think Geek. Get Linux to boot on a Black And Decker Appliance. Wish you could afford a new computer. Argue that IDE is better than SCSI because you cant afford SCSI. Make claims about how Linux rules. Compile a kernel on your 486SX. Claim to hate windows but use it for Everquest. Admire Ghyslain's courage in making that wonderful star wars movie. Officially convert to the Jedi religion. Talk about how cool Mega Tokyo is. Try and make sure you do your regular 50 story submissions to Slashdot, all of which get rejected because people who arent fatter than CowboyNeal can't submit. Fondle shrimpy penis while making a yoda voice and saying, feel the force, padawan, feeel the foooorce, hurgm. Yes. Yes. When 900 years you reach, a dick half as big you will not have.

All in a days work with a yoda figurine rammed up your ass.

I HAVE A GREASED UP YODA DOLL SHOVED UP MY ASS!

Nobody will *need* 64 bit laptops until (coincidentally) Apple releases them, and then the maccies and many slashdotters will rejoice in unison, HAZZAH! Now is the time for 64 bits to go MOBILE!!!1!! Everyone else jumped the gun, everyone subsequent will just be copying Apple!

You know, like every other damned thing they do.

Blah.

How much credibility can you give to an article which uses the words "DirectX" and "standard" in the same context?

Re:WTF

[VojakSvejk]

Amen, brother!

Not only is 32-bit sufficient, it is usually FASTER (as on Opteron and MIPS). This is why Apple's claim to have delivered a 64-bit computer, given that you won't see a 64-bit OS that can give more than 4GB to one app is a LIE.

Re:Somewhere in Cupertino

That wont prevent Apple from lying and saying they are the first, like they were doing with the G5 Mac.

Pffft... those notebooks suck

[Anonymous Coward]

Those machines suck. Come on, look at the screen resolutions: 16.1" 1280x1024 and 15" 1400x1050 TFT

And what, $3800 and $3500... Goodness.

I just built a Dell laptop with 15" 1600x1200 display. Same processor 3.2 Ghz P4 and mostly the same features. $1600 .. Yeah, $1600.

Mega notebooks??? Pfft... right
