Walruskkkch asked, in yesterday’s Straight Line of the Day (“If You Get Bored, Your Amazon Echo Device Will Entertain You by…”):
“But aren’t we just prisoners here of our Alexa device?”
. . . It was a golden opportunity to spoof Hotel California; but it was also an observation of biblical proportions.
The Bible appears to foreshadow the day when devices, as well as music, would be contenders in the ongoing struggle:
Oh Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me:
The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
Behold their sitting down, and their rising up, I am their music.
— Lamentations, 3:59-3:63
. . . Which concludes today’s sermon on rock and/or roll.
That was nothing short of pure genius from Walrus. At least worthy of 5 pounds of bacon.
Deliveries are in the rear..
Wait, that doesn’t sound right.
So you expect me to counter with a ‘front’ joke’?… “Knock knock”, “who’s there”? “Russian”. “Russian who”? “Good luck on the Russian Front Comrade, bwahahahahaha”.
“Illuminated”
