Festive! Can we replace the last one with fireworks though? They are at least entertaining.

I think we should put a penis in the last one.

EDIT - Oh.. You did. Nice job, Brad.

It's an ironic juxtaposition.

Basically it's like having a series of "Great American Actors" and putting pictures of Marlon Brando, Gregory Peck, and then having one of Carrot Top next to them.

Oh, well I actually think he is one of the greats....but that's my opinion.*

Nice speed holes though Brad!



* My opinion doesn't mean derail the thread into why he sucks or is great.

Agreed, the last thing I think anyone wants is for another ugly political argument.

I see your point though, with Carrot Top. What he lacks in subtlety and charisma he makes up for with BIG MUSCLES!? Seriously, WTF, I had no idea this dork was ripped:

The 'speedhole' goes back to the MDD G4 PowerMac. It was kind of a joke at the time, as the MDD apparently didn't introduce any noticeable speed improvement over the previous QuickSilvers, yet somehow warranted a case redesign. The four holes on the bottom were jokingly referred to as 'speedholes', as if Apple intentionally designed the case to make the machine go faster than it really did.

So it goes.

For those not familiar with the Letterman bit I'm referring to... this search includes some YouTube video...

The MDD PowerMacs needed the speed holes in order to suck in enough air to make such an obscene amount of noise. If Apple couldn't make them run faster then heck they sure as hell made them sound faster!

Personally, I think he's going to go trannie and dominate women's bodybuilding. I mean seriously.

It's also a series of "Great Moments in American History".

1. George Washington accepting Lord Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown in 1781.
2. Abraham Lincoln reading the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862.
3. George Bush dressing up in a flight suit to give his "Mission Accomplished" speech about Iraq in 2003.
