For quirky, original wit, you can't beat the EGB's resident crazy old lady.
Well, I'm not old yet - at least, not from my point of view. From my perspective, I'm just waiting for everyone else here to just catch up.
It will be sad, however, when she completely loses it, and 20 years from now we'll likely find her living in a squalid bungalow with 57 cats, all named Maybelline.
Ah, no, do not fear. I try to keep my mind active, so I hope to push off senility for a long time. But if I do begin to get flaky (okay, flakier) around the edges, I think I'll name all my cats after EGB members to help me remember everyone here. Imagine this:
The year is 2050. There is a small house in the middle of a Connecticut suburb that needs new paint and some serious landscaping. The picket fence is broken in spots, and the old car in the driveway has been sitting on four flat tires for years. The name on the mailbox has long since been obliterated, but the little old lady inside doesn't mind. Everyone has been calling her "Auntie Byte" for as long as she could remember.
Inside, there are piles and piles of computer parts from years long passed. She used to fix them, but now, they are more useful as furniture - and a playground for the countless number of cats that scamper, play and fight. Oddly enough, despite all of the feline frenzy, they have all been trained to go outside through the kitty door and do their pooping in the overgrown garden.
From the dark corners of what was once a server room, you can hear the voice of a little old lady chastising her furry friends - all named after historic EGB members: "Cobra, stop drinking out of the toilet! Porkchop, stop that - that's a STUFFED cat! Lizz, get up and play with Krev - all you do is lay down all day, everywhere and anywhere! Puddin, look at that mess - another furrball on the floor! Fro, get off that TV - you never seem to get enough of it. Aldlv, where are you? It's time for your medicine! Oh, and you my feisty little Eaggie - stop trying to boss all the others around. What do you think you are, their commander?"
Yeah, I might go crazy - but I'll be taking all of you with me ...hehehe!!!!
Until then, I'll just keep everyone chuckling!
