Annals of the Homestarmy

During a discussion regarding "Personal Information Managers", wherein I tried to understand how they differ from "Email client", the following was delivered at the end of a long string of argumentative metaphors:

< TML> For example, I've already had ElizabethN give one concrete thing I will look around for: due dates.
< spoon> dont bother
< spoon> you wont like a pim
< spoon> they go against your moral inner fiber
< spoon> they do everything you stand against
< spoon> they are counter productive for you
< TML> spoon: What makes you say that?
< spoon> you just seem like that type of person
< TML> I don't have any kind of "moral stand" regarding PIMs.
< spoon> im making a character judgement
< spoon> because you rock at being annoying argumentative and giving good responses
< spoon> you know how to debate
< spoon> and it makes me dislike you becuase i cant

Hmm....

I hadn't seen this joke in a while, but came across it again when I was reading on Raganwald about "Green Shift". Anyway, that's just a lead-up to the following joke:

In the beginning was the Plan.
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the face of the Workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying, "It is a crock of crap, and it stinkith"
And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said, "It is a pail of dung, and we cannot abide the smell."
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it."
And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide its strength."
And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying to one another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents, saying unto them, "It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."
And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him, "This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company with powerful effects"
And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.
And that, my friends, is how crap happens.

The poll contains no valid options for my "favorite OS".
