It was the night before Hanukwanzachristmas, when all through the halls, not a creature was stirring, because all had gone to the mall. The stores were brimming with the usual fare, and last-minute shoppers spent money with nary a care.
But the geeks were restless and yes, even sad. They didn’t want Elmo, a scooter, or some such fad. “Give us RAM, dual cores, and an iPod,” they said. “Or we’d be quite happy with Bill Gates’s head.” Why old Saint Nick couldn’t believe his ears, as geeks are quite friendly the rest of the year. Lucky for Santa, he read Linux Mag, and he stuffed gadgets and gizmos into his bag.
On Hanukwanzachristmas morning, the geeks are back to work, tinkering and tampering with all their new perks. Ah, LEDs, kernels, game consoles, and megabytes. It’s a great Hanukwanzachristmas, and to all a good-night.
Enjoy Turkey, Ham, and Roast Beast
