santa, this is rudolph. he’s a reindeer. he’s one of the most undervalued animals on the pole. his defect is his nose is red and glows.

this time of year, we remember the story of december’s laziest programmer, ebenezer kluge

he forgot the spirit of creating shareholder value. until he was visited by the three spirits: the ghost of christmas cheap, the ghost of christmas fast, and the ghost of christmas good

ghost of christmas future: behold the grim future! change, scrooge!

scrooge: i will!…wait, what’s that over there?

ghost: what? oh. a locomotive. they transform commerce in the next few years. that’s not important here

scrooge: …transform, you say?

ghost: this was a mistake
