Facework

Two lovers in the distant post-apocalyptic future meet at the site of an abandoned robot factory.  Romance ensures near the arsenic pits, radium shaft, and the cast-off legs.

When Apple SVP of Marketing Phil Schiller isn't grinding away at his job, he knows how to get down with a few friends.

Phil Schiller's Rock And Roll Band

A completely fictional account of an engineer at Atari in the mid-1970s.  Features the famous Jeremy Edwards of Request-A-Song.com on electric guitar.

Lyrics:
Well I was baked,
Baked at Atari;
I lost my mind
I lost my mind.

I took Joe's shrooms,
But I'm not sorry
'Cause he took mine,
yes he took mine.

Now I'm seeing race cars on the floor
And Alan Alcorn thinks he is a dwarf
And all the tiny men that live in Nolan's beard
Are telling me to work.

Well I was baked,
Baked at Atari;
I lost my mind
I lost my mind.

Took LSD,
But I'm not sorry,
'Cause I took mine,
Yes I took mine.

Now I'm playing Pong against the rain
and Bristow thinks he's flowing down the drain again.
And all the tiny men that live in Nolan's beard
are climbing in my brain.

Now it's time
to slay the demons running through my mind
On my screen,
I'm the game, and they've been playing me,
But I ain't free; I'm 25 cents a piece.

Yes I was baked,
Baked at Atari;
I lost my mind
I lost my mind.

I sniffed Ron's coke,
But I'm not sorry
'Cause he sniffed mine,
yes he sniffed mine.

Now I'm playing Gotcha with Colleen
Decuir just drove a tank across the street
And all the little tiny men that usually make a home in Nolan's beard
are telling me to flee!

Now it's time
to slay the demons running through my mind
On my screen,
I'm the game, and they've been playing me.
Set me free -- I'm 25 cents a piece.

Baked at Atari
