I just picked up a new Dead Kennedys CD. I'm suprised they had something other than "G"s talking about the size of their rims or skanky chicks lipsyncing pop music.:rolleyes:
Anyway, I am pretty stoked, I have'nt heard some DK in a long time, Think cassette tapes. I tear off the plastic festooned with it's cadre of stickers, "parental advisory" of course. Every time I see that I want to punch Tipper gore in the uterus. We all don't jam to Pat Boone there Tip.
Anyhow, the first barrier to musical bliss has been sucessfully eliminated with extreme predjudice. I flip the CD over and I am confronted with the security seal on the edge. Ah, my old nemesis, we meet again. For years have we battled, from one end of the world to the other we have locked horns again and again. Sticker is a worthy opponent, giving as good as it gets. No two stickers use the same defensive tactics and one must study thy enemy before making the opening move.
I take tenative picks at the tab, probing it's defenses, testing it's response. Seal comes up goo stays, dammit! This is one of the level 10 boss stickers, I'm in trouble. When fencing with the evil stickers I can be patient. I might pick at one corner and then just as the sticker mounts a counter attack I fall back and strike the exposed opposite flank! I am not patient today. Like european warfare of the Napoleonic age I attack straight on, rank after rank crashing against the stickers defence. The stick holds, the sticker buckles, the sticker breaks, I am inside! I have reached the CD which was my goal but at what cost? I survey the battlefeild, goo all up and down the CD case, flaps of sticker still in place mocking me. It was an ugly victory and mop-up operations will continue for some time.
War is indeed an ugly business and this is not my finest hour on the feild of battle but mission accomplished. I need to call in a Googone strike now. I love the smell of Googone in the morning. It smells like,,victory.
To the guy who invented these @$^&in things; I will kill you slowly if I find you! I will inject you with a lethal poison and then give you the antidote. Ah but there is a catch, it will be sealed on all four sides with these *&^%in stickers you bastard! Armed with nothing but your fingernail you will need to defeat your own creation to reach the elixir that will save your life :cursing:
Seriously, what is the point of these things? You have to peel off a plastic wrapper to get to a CD or DVD already, the store detective if he is not sleeping should catch this. These are extraneous and serve to just piss off and frustrate the owner. You know, the dumbass who actually paid to be frustrated by this evil little thing.
Upside, good disk, and these Googone fumes are sure taking the edge off :w00t:
