'Twas The Night Before iPhone 4


Carlos Griego:
It twas the night before iPhone 4,
And in front of the Mac Store hipsters waited
By the front door,

They sat and they waited all of good cheer,
Enjoying an imported or micro-brewed beer,

Talk of new apps filled the night air,
Coffee being pressed with the surest of care,

The anticipation was felt as thick as fog,
Some even forgot to update their blog,

Some talked about Lost, and implications eternal,
They wrote these thoughts in their Moleskine Journal,

Updating of Facebook, Tweeting for others,
But all waited with iPods playing The Avett Brothers,

As sleep took over these hipsters in line,
Steve Jobs could be heard,
“Good night to all, the world is almost all mine!”

Genius....

I'm a bit sad that I pre-ordered mine to be sent Fed-Ex to my house. I feel like I'm missing some sort of a community building experience by not being at the Apple Store at 4 a.m.

Isn't comparing the arrival of iPhone to the arrival of Jesus a little blasphemous?

It sounds like you're worshipping an idol.

Anonymous, I think that was the point, in a sort of sarcastic way . . . .

Hey Michelle, you might not have caught it earlier, but Zach seems to be obsessed with the iPhone.

By Jesus, you mean Santa, right?

Wow, Zach, you completed the secular transition from thinking Christmas is about Jesus to thinking Christmas is about Santa.

Sheesh.
