Circa 200 years after the Three MATA Brothers left their bunker to reassert MATACORP dominance over what remained of the destroyed planet, a hobbyist cartographer, Mavic Pengellan, born to an affluent penguin family in one of the Penguin Protectorates, would create his depiction of the world (with a fair amount of creative liberties).
His work was immediately suppressed in favor of the official MATACORP map of the world.
Pengellan's map however remains as the closest approximation of the world, used by wandering techno-mages.
The Windows 3.1 Hot Dog Stand theme has been called the world’s worst theme, “the ugliest, most abhorrent, most terrifying pile of mismatchery that we have ever had the misfortune to behold.”
I’ve actually met the lady who designed Hot Dog for Microsoft. She presented a great seminar on UI design at a UK VB conference (about 1997). She claimed that Hot Dog was a challenge from the Windows 3.1 team to come up with the worst scheme possible.
I don’t know who PJ14 is, and I don’t know whether this story is true. Just sharing it, and you can decide how credible it sounds.
Pleased, are you, about your little dinner? Everyone have a good time? Oh, that’s sweet… THEN CAN WE PLEASE GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS OF OUR 20-, 30-, 40-HOUR MARATHON!?
Frank, you’re the trooper here. You put on that great spread and the place looked great and you looked great. I just want to tell you, Frank, I really admire you.
And because I can, I’m making my weird little companion Frank here eat one entire turkey for each movie I show. Films such as the world premiere of The Beatniks, starring Peter Breck.
VICTORIA – British Columbians were shocked today to be informed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith that she is now the head of the B.C. government after using the notwithstanding clause (section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms) to make herself premier of that province, too. “In order to protect the British Columbish, or […]
HAMILTON, ON – Local residents this morning report driving past an excitingly long lineup and assuming it was for a blowout Black Friday sale, before realizing that it was just a regular queue for a boring old Food Bank. The dozens-long lineup, visible since 6am this morning, was revealed to be for the Riverdale Community […]
OTTAWA – With Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signing a new pipeline agreement, Canada’s Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture Steven Guilbeault resigned from cabinet after Smith threatened to build her new pipeline directly through his home. “I wasn’t going to leave, but then I came home to a note nailed […]
KNOXVILLE, TN—In a development her family began referring to as a “stroke of luck,” local 81-year-old Gloria Martin reportedly died Thursday before her granddaughter arrived to Thanksgiving dinner with her girlfriend. “Oh, thank God—problem solved, everybody,” said Frank Martin, grandson of the deceased, who reportedly breathed a sigh of relief along with his cousins, aunts, uncles, and parents after a morning spent imagining the various horrified reactions the family matriarch might have when his sister and her same-sex, live-in partner walked through the door. “That was going to be stressful, so now it feels like a gigantic weight has been lifted. We honestly couldn’t have asked for better timing. Grandma had just finished making her famous stuffing, which we still get to eat. And my sister was delayed by traffic, so no one has to try to explain what bisexuality is to a Catholic octogenarian. Win-win for everybody, really.” Martin went on to call his grandmother’s passing a “Thanksgiving miracle” after seeing that his sister had also shaved the side of her head.
“I can’t wait to lay out a series of pragmatic proposals that people will respond to, and see Pierre ignore them in favour of an ‘owning the libs’ game plan yet again.” Luke and the Panel (Megan MacKay, Clare Blackwood and Ian MacIntyre) talk about Carney and Smith coming to an “understanding” on pipelines, the […]
