So apparently Apple's new OS is "OS X Lion," which they informed me of with an e-mail including a picture of a lion gazing thoughtfully off into the distance. Which led to this:
@bedlamsbard: Dear Apple, the words "OS X Lion" give me the disturbing feeling that Aslan is a Mac and wants to lion conspiracy theory US. #narnia
@very_ish: That is completely reasonable. o.0 I am now weirded out. The OS wants us to fight for ASLAN. #narnia
@lady_songsmith: Mac DOES seem to spend a lot of time telling us they know best...
@bedlamsbard: @very_ish I'm kind of afraid now that he's going to Last Battle the Internet. Or -- THE WORLD. #narnia
@bedlamsbard: @lady_songsmith The truth comes back![sic -- was supposed to be "out"] Apple = Aslan!
@lady_songsmith: @bedlamsbard There's an Original Sin joke in there somewhere, I just can't quite put my finger on it.
@bedlamsbard: @lady_songsmith Or a Magician's Nephew reference. If I use a PC, does that make me a White Witch follower? Or a Tash worshipper?
@lady_songsmith: @bedlamsbard Tash, I think. The battle will destroy the world - or cyberspace at least - and the bytes will all rain down.
@bedlamsbard: @lady_songsmith But we'll emerge into a better place. Except for those of us who use PCs.
@lady_songsmith: @bedlamsbard A better, content-controlled virtual reality, where the Apps are all more real than here.
@bedlamsbard: @lady_songsmith Unless you happen to like lipsticks and nylons and boys, of course.
@lady_songsmith: @bedlamsbard Sex? In the Apple-verse? SURELY you jest!
And then I wandered off to go watch Masterchef, but it strikes me now there's probably some kind of PC/Prince Caspian pun to be made here, if only I could figure out how.
Maybe Peter's dryad girlfriend isn't an apple tree after all.
