The Asteroids Galaxy Tour :: Around the Bend
Apple told me to.
P.S. Any post by Karen, whether seconds or years after this, of the same song, is moot and tantamount to a non-post. Too old. Too slow.

I'm getting some popcorn. Marital rivalry. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteGus, blows were landed. Actually physical wrestling and restraint.
ReplyDeleteIt went down like this:
- song plays on TV.
- I say "pass me you laptop, and can you rewind that so I can hear the lyrics?"
- she says "you can probably find it on apple.com"
- I try and I say "nuh-uh"
- we rewind to the song, I Google the lyrics, find the song on iTunes, imeem
- right around now she figures out what's at stake and heads to the other computer.
- "Oh no you di'int!"
- She wastes precious time buying the song on iTunes.
- I type up a super-quick micro-post and beat her to the punch by a whole 15 seconds.
- I approach her smugly. "Nooo!" she cries. Wrestling begins.
- I then edit my post to be more coherent
- Karen completes a protest post
- I use admin power to vandalize here post
- she claims she could probably guess my password and do the same. I swallow hard but say "that's ridiculous" and tell her to come back to the couch.
So, on the score card:
- I "recognized the song's potential"
- I posted first (using her computer)
- she rewound the TiVo
- she bought the song
We'll let history sort this one out and decide to whom the song should be ultimately attributed.

Ha! Strong work.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you fought over it. It's a damn good song.
