Server Guy
Once upon a time in a land not so far away at a time close to the present there lived a man who just wanted a freaking server for his website. He closed a deal for a good enough model for not so much money and was awaiting its arrival. When it arrived the boxes were beat up and torn. They looked like hell. This is the story of that poor machine and the diabolical postal service. Let us begin our story with the guy let us call him "Guy" closing a bid on Ebuy...

...Poor Guy sat before his computer searching and searching for a server that he could use to run his favorite website. His current server was working alright, but was starting to show signs of slowing down (much like himself). After sifting through pages and pages of Ebuy stuff, including the adult section where he found himself a nice swing to put up in his "Dungeon of Love" at home, he finally came to a server. The server was not to big, not to small, but...

...they really gave it once over! Throwing it out the window into the back of the truck, the server took a seven story fall with grace and dignity. After beign shipped from one town to the next the server found itself on the beaches of Key West, a pina collada in hand, and a extoic cabban girl with lotion just waiting for the rub down. As the tide came in and washed over its circuit boards and harddrives the good old postal people snatched the server away from its tropical paradise only to send it to the rainy fridged north of Upstate New York, but before it arrived...

... a kind-hearted postal worker. Well, kind hearted to friends and family. But, not to unsuspecting, innocent packages. No. To those, this particular postal worker looked out for their own interests. In this particular instance, our postal worker has just lost his last package to the Postal Olympics and so, was looking for new blood to join the team.
It just so happened that the innocent (not so) little server happened to be right there, right in front of the disgruntled employee. Our (not so) little was immediately enrolled in the Postal Olympics. The events that make up these olympics consist of...

...the Package Put, similar to the Shot Put but instead of aheavy metal ball that is thrown they use the package in question. Second event, the Elephant Jump, where said elephant jumps up and down as fast as it can on the package, which ever elephant tallies the most jump wins (there are 124 teams competing in this event). And the dreaded Ice Fishing event, where the package is used as bait in a 4 week long Ice Fishing Derby.

... mainframe someone was dumb enough to ship. The 'frame kick some serious ass!
Anyway, out sweet (not so) little server was very disheartened by his loss.
But the postal man felt no remorse. He just stuff the thing in a box, the same as earlier, and threw it into the back of his truck.
