That's right folks, we may no longer be needed.
Our little community of tweekers and geekers will soon be over-run by a well organized and well funded group of folks that intend to blitzkrieg through us like crap through a goose. And to make matters worse, our freebie advice/help will give way to folks having to pay for what we gladly give away on a daily basis. I direct your attention to the latest corporate greed monster that's been created by none other than Best Buy....
THE GEEK SQUAD!
Yes ladies & gentleman. A group of talented individuals that have been focused trained to be the geekiest of the geeks. Their sole purpose in life to help the A/V challenged masses of the world and charge them an arm & a leg. I truly believe these almost zombie-like geeks will roll into various cities and towns JUST LIKE YOU LIVE IN and will mindlessly take over control of HT setups and ridding folks of chroma bugs. And it sadens my heart to tell you that I'm afraid that we here may have been infected - at the very least, we've been duped and have help spawn one of these "Geeks". I hate to turn him out, but Kenratboy....you've been outted! I say it's time we take a stand against this onslaught of controlled geekness.
It is in vain, folks, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from Best Buy will bring to our ears the clash of the Geek Squad’s tools! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of Monster Cable and extended warranties? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Klipsch or give me death!
