IWS XXVI Too Stupid To Be a Squirrel

[Stuie]

Dispatched.

[mrmitchell]

Dear Intel.

I'd just love to buy a Pentium 4 EXTREME processor. However, I'm afraid that when I open the box, EXTREME sports figures--such as EXTREME skater Tony Hawk--will jump out of the box and beat the sh!t out of my nerd and definitely un-EXTREME self.

Also, I worry that the EXTREME processor will rip through its packaging with its fangs and claws, strangle me, and go on an EXTREME citywide murder spree before it crashes through my case and places itself in its slot. In the process, however, I fear things such as my power supply, video card, or CD drive could be vaporised upon the EXTREME entry of my new EXTREME P4 processor when it tears through them to get in. Even though it will do it in an EXTREME way, I would rather not risk the chance.

However, perhaps you carry a more modest, set back chip?
