So, you think that your '80s Buck Rogers reference eliminates my powers 
to transform you into a sniveling pile of kleenex snot with my 
Obviousioty Confusticator?  HAH!  Once I wave my teflon encrusted 
electro-glove over these dialectrodes you will be begging me to return 
to the color washed past - where a computer was as big as a desk and 
external electronic musical effects were all encased in large painted 
metal enclosures that sat in racks on on the floor!  You soy drinking, 
vegetable driving excuse for a modern carniverating jackanape!
