I was
just in Tokyo to launch the new Windows Live services, when this coke-bottle-glasses reporter for the Tokyo Kamikazi Daily interrupted my usual world changing musings,
"rista Ballma-san, rista Ballma-san!"
I was a little annoyed that he interupted, but I decided to be respectful and bowed to him, "yes-san, do you have a question for me?"
He said, "rista Ballma-san, rut do you think of Rhuggle's expanding leed over Rikrosoft on the Rinternet?"
I said nothing at first, I motioned for one of my Blackwater people, he came running over. I whispered to him, "Get rid of this guy!" But he said, "sorry sir, MS international protocol MSJp44 dictates that once you have acknowledged him you must answer the question sir, roughing him up now would be considered 'impolite'."
I sighed, turned, bowed again:
"Rhuggle is a non-factor for us, they are at best an annoyance, a rash in an inconvenient place!"
They all looked at me with that fake confused look, so I went on to explain:
"Google is not ahead of us, In the area of search specifically, Google would lead."
At that point, a dozen hands went up, "rista Ballma-san, rista Ballma-san! rista Ballma-san, rista Ballma-san!"
I ignored them all!
I wasn't going to fall for that MSJp44 acknowledgement thing again, so I decided to have a little fun with them:
"Rhuggle is a bunch of boy scouts with no den-master! They are just a bunch of spoiled rich kids on a perpetual holiday, no order or discipline. They only exist in that I allow it, I find them amusing, it's like watching a house on fire or some other tragedy, you know it's repulsive but you just can't look away!"
The reporters were taking in my words like Saki, they just couldn't get enough! So I decided to throw them one more bone!
"I have to go now, but since I'm on Rhuggle, let me say this about this 'Android" thing: It is just like the rest of Google ..ahem, I mean Rhuggle, IT ONLY EXIST ON PAPER! Don't fall for this vaporware, rumors, fake-half-baked hype that they peddle!"

They were going wild, "rista Ballma-san, rista Ballma-san!"
I just bowed, waved goodbye, then walked off stage.
As I was getting into the limo I whispered to my Blackwater guy, "always leave 'em wanting more son!" He laughed, I gave him a serious look and ordered him, "Oh yeah, track down that Tokyo Kamakazi reporter, have his paper fire him for some reason or another."
The Blackwater guy just chuckled and said, "remind me never to interrupt you, 'rista Ballma-san'."
That was one good trip!
