Neowin Giveaway >> 31 Days of the Dragon
If you haven’t heard about the HP 31 Days of the Dragon, hear about it. They’re giving away a kick-@55 computer every day for 31 days. Neowin wanted to get folks to participate so I generated an mp3 about what I’d do if I had a dragon. Which I don’t.
The first thing I thought of was Puff the Magic Dragon. Most of the folks who were around for that whiny little gem now pretend that they never puffed, or if they did, they didn’t inhale. Trust me, guys, your mom and dad – or grandma and grandpa – burned enough rope to reach Colombia and back. They already [b]had[/b] their dragon and they traded it in for an Escalade.
So then I thought of the Dragonriders of Pern. It had its moments, but all-in-all I want a dragon, not a horse with wings. If I wanted a horse with wings I’d get a Unicorn – or is that a Pegasus? Well, it would have to be the one that doesn’t need for me to be pure of heart.
How about the dragon in The Hobbit? Smog was it? No, Smaug! Jewel-encrusted underbelly and all. If I had that sucker and his treasure I could buy a laptop the size of New Jersey. Too late, that little bugger Frottage or Frodo or whatever his name was killed Smaug, took the loot, and wasted it all on half-pints. And beer. Not a bad deal, actually.
I briefly considered that Robo-dragon in Dr. No, but even as a kid it didn’t frighten me. I need something really scary.
And then I thought of it! Here’s my dragon and what I would do with it. Kneel before me!
