From: jvogel@math.rutgers.edu (jeff vogel) Newsgroups: talk.bizarre Subject: Screen Savers Date: 18 May 1995 13:47:54 -0400 Last night, at about 4 AM, when I had completed my work for the evening and was about to succumb to sleep's embrace, I had a realization. What I need, what we all need for our lives are screen savers. Think about it! Wouldn't it be great if, whenever fifteen minutes went by without anything happening, Homer Simpson walked up and started eating things! Or, whenever a lecture went by for ten minutes without anything meaningful taking place (or when you concentrate your gaze on the upper right corner of the lecture hall) a Horta appeared and BURROWED THROUGH the professor? And of course, if your date had gone on too long without something interesting, rectangles would start bouncing around in your line of sight. Razor-edged rectangles. Boy, your date wouldn't be too happy then, WOULD HE!?!? And of course, there's no reason to stick with adaptions of existing screen savers. You could have a new one where whenever nothing happens for 20 minutes, suddenly everyone's face starts to melt. Or after ten minutes of boredom, a huge, stacked blonde appears and HAS SEX with me! Whether I WANT her to or NOT! She'll KILL ME IF SHE HAS TO! Must keep busy ... must keep busy ... - Jeff Vogel Futurist
