Last night, after reading and posting way too much on this and my F1 board, I went to bed...<now here's where things get exciting!>
I was awaked by the sound of an F1 car downshifting from what sounding like 27th gear to first, rapid-fire banging down through the gears. I jumped out of bed and ran to the window...and there, just getting out of the car was the UPS girl, and tied down with a couple of bungee cords and some styrofoam packaging, was a large BLACK BOX with silver writing on the side! Yes!!! It was my Alienware. I ran downstairs in my undies (never a pretty sight at the best of times) and as I was running to the door, there was a knocking sound.
I threw open the door and saw....nobody. But a sharp kick on the ankle made me look down and showed me a little person about to head-butt my nuts.
"What the....?????" I said.
"I'm DB, and I'm here to deliver your box...where do you want me to stick it?"
"But....but .....but the UPS girl? Where'd she go?"
He pointed wordlessly at a barely conscious moaning post-coital wreck lying at the side of the road.
"I do good work, don't let my size fool ya like it did her," he said smirking.
Subconsciously I knew I had to bring some order here, I mean what would the neighbours think?
"Come inside, come inside and bring the box with you."
He waltzed in carrying the box like it was nothing, and plonked it down on the floor where with what looked like a stiletto he opened, unwrapped and unpacked the black behemoth that was my pc.
"Okay, I'm done, I have to get back to ALX - I have some friends coming over, and I don't wanna be late," he said wiping his hands off on my furniture.
"What about her?" I asked, pointing at the now dazed-looking woman at the side of the road.
"Oh her, don't worry about her, we're going to the Commish, we have his mouse and keyboard to deliver and she'll be ok when we get there....sometime....I mean, he's only on Phase 39 so this'll be a surprise."
"Oh and these are for you," he said handing me a plain brown envelope which I curiously opened to find shots of naked midgets doing....?????WTF????
The package of photo's were suddenly ripped from my hands and replaced by a white package containing pictures of my AW pc being built.
"Sorry," said DB, "Wrong package. Erm....family reunion, you know how it goes," and he left as quickly as he came.<Editor's note: maybe I should rephrase that last line.>
The car popped and banged it's way into life, the UPS girl now seemingly recovered as DB withdrew his tool from the rear.
...I mean as he took the starter out of the back of the car. And as DB took his place in the front, perched on the front spoiler, she revved it up a couple of times and waved, and as I waved back, I woke up.
"What the hell was that all about?" I thought to myself as I stumbled down the stairs in search of caffeine, too much time staring at the Order Status page and this Alienware forum maybe?
What do you think? Am I close to losing it yet? Or has it left the building?
