My boss knows better than to tell me to install Win2k3 - the previous electrical burn marks attest to that.
Remember kids, nothing breaks the ice like the phrase, "My God! What happened to your face?"
And of course, a true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool PHB will be able to loosen things up further with, "If you think THAT'S amazing, you should see my balls!"
Too much effort. I remember my first computer related prank. High-school math, we had to do rudimentary BASIC programs. They gave up logins and passwords, so naturally several of us gathered them from careless people. I stopped by the lab after school with some friends one day, and did a very simple thing:
Lock the doors at the Oscars after everyone is in. Then, each film that has received a nomination will be played in it's entirety. After all films in a category are played, the audience can vote using their remote keypads. Port-a-potties and hot dog carts can be set up in the back of the theater.
No one who seriously understood the technology would have preferred OS/2 over the weird amalgam of 16 and 32-bit code that was Windows 95, much less the thin DOS-wrapper that was Windows 3.x (depending on when your hypothetical geeks considered OS/2 to have been "crushed")

Well, that happens when you push the bounds of known science. I hear Deep Space 9 runs pretty well.
I parsed that as "mass-market poop" at first, and you know what? It still made sense.
Isn't that why American Idol is so popular?
What if you're French?

Sounds like Microsoft reads Ask Slashdot. What a great way to screw with users, getting their PC speaking random text while they try to work.
Are we going to get daily news on this project?
10 PRINT "Fuck you"
Send it to the line printer, and take off.20 GOTO 10
This one time, at Initech, I set the building on fire.
Sigh, I miss being able to remove the START button. Great fun with windows 95.
Have you ever been down to the gymnasium? Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Replacing the tortilla with wood, metal and hide? That HAS to be rough on the teeth, gums and digestive system.

President Bush? Is that you?
Is anyone having difficulty resolving domains and hosts registered through GoDaddy?
It's Roseanne!
They had one, and got Keanu Reeves to be the keynote speaker. Here's a transcript:
"Woah."

Actually, Bobcat Goldthwait as Zed McBride sounds about right to me.
Do you know what Radon is?
Does it segue (ha) into "Waterloo" by ABBA, like Mr. Burns' copy that Smithers taped over?
In an '83 Bronco, about 1/4 of the way from Indianapolis to Idaho Falls. Then then engine seizes up, cracking every piston rod.
Naked.
Well, they should add another one to the ship. Twin Ion Engine craft are pretty speedy, and highly manueverable as well.
Wouldn't it be easier to just use the Brightness control on the monitor?
