Fascinating operating system.

Sounds pretty bad, but not as bad as Lindows Linux I got for free with new computer.

 

[The Person]

Noobish operating system! That would be great.

Rating: (1 - 6)

How about Windows Longhorn Edition (as in Texas, not the project name for one of Microsoft's real OS's)? This sort of joke recurrs over and over in various forms with only the phrases changed. It's alright, but not necessarily too funny if you've already seen one of the various strains.

I'm from Brooklyn and I find this thread utterly offensive and I demand it be closed!

 

[KaNick]

Are you serious? God forbid a certain dialect is made fun of.

 

[Zoke0]

If he's serious I think he has a point mainly because there aren't as many Italiens as we think in Brooklyn, but if he's just being drole then that's ok too, infact I encourage that!!!
BTW- Good joke!

 

[Goober]

Hehe, thius is quite original, and hilarious. Lighten up, CG, were making fun of your accent, not your City, or Suburb, or whatever the case may be.

Now I realize why this is in H&J.
