Microsoft Haiku
Yeah..I hate Microsoft. I have spent far too many times fixing my wife's computer, and so in the spirit of zen (which is how we semi decorated our bedroom), and how I sorta wanted to decorate this blog...and how my wife likes to zen out when she gets home from work by taking a bath and reading..I figure, what if the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages were replaced with Haiku? I belong to an uber-secret fightclub-like web forum that sometimes makes these funny haiku messages for movies or random topics..gets you thinking sometimes..so heres some for Microsoft errors...
Below is the essence of zen...ohmmmm...
Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
The Web site you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
Program aborting:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.
Windows XP crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully.
With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao - until
You bring fresh toner.
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.
A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
Isn't that better than "your computer has performed an illegal operation?"
I thought so.

They smirk, you don't care
Truly hilarious! :)
Ninety percent of these made me laugh out loud.
Hope I didn't wake up baby girl...
Oh, and thanks for the clarification letter concerning LOTR. I thought I had something wrong, but it's been a while since I've watched the movies and especially since I've read the books. Fascinating stuff though, isn't it?
Thanks again for the laughs,

These are great!
Just making the rounds and spreading some blog-style joy...
[Running through Blogger-Falls ala George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life...one day late]
Merry Christmas!
Mer-ry Christmas!!
[This has been Ashley Chairiet, ala George Bailey, wishing you, Josh, a happy Hanukah. Here's to a new year, a better year. And to you: happiness; my friend.]
Happy Holidays,
