They Have Arrived

I recently became a winner (yet again) and received in the mail 100 LightScribe DVD-R discs. In case you do not know what LightScribe is, allow me to explain:

LightScribe was invented to make stolen/pirated/freely-downloaded, and then burned, movies look really good. No longer will I have to ask my date, "So, what do you want to watch?" and then ashamedly pull out my massive collection of burned DVDs for her to browse through. A massive collection of DVD movies, of which titles found in said collection are specifically good at emphasizing my own excellent taste in movies, art, and culture, should be a point of pride, not of shame.

Basic formulas:
(Really excellent movie + Burned DVD + Title of movie written in marker on DVD) x 637 discs = Shame

(Really excellent movie + Burned DVD + Title of movie beautifully etched with laser on DVD) x 637 discs = 
Deep and Satisfying Sense of Pride

See what a difference one element of a formula can make?

Gosh if I knew that is what "LightScribe" meant on my new computer then I'd have much cooler movies as well for impressing women.

In fact, I bet I would be married, have a house, and at least one child by now if only I had started using this technology in the past...

637 discs? How many movies have you been downloading?!

This is totally unrelated except for the "DVD" part, but I was at a friend's house, and his roommate was going through his boxes, and found something called "Pirate Porn" which was...horrifying, to say the least. He got a good laugh and said it belonged to someone he knew from a long time ago...the box was a bit destroyed...oh wait, that was a bad story...

hmmm that seems like a good story to me...
