"I was surprised," said Apple Watch aficionado Norma Chipotle when told about the survey. "I suspected that Apple was in way over their heads on this. But when I strapped it to my wrist I instantly realized it was either a spectacular triumph of micro-engineering or something that wouldn't quite give me a lady boner."
Apple stock skyrocketed to reflect the product's startling success, and once again Apple has extended its unbroken winning streak. After twenty-plus years at the forefront of high-end design, they've delivered yet another product that's drawn near unanimous declarations that it's either the undisputed electronics gift of the year or the thing you'd fetch if your house was on fire and your wife already got the Everybody Loves Raymond DVDs.
Still, the video has had nearly four million viewers, all of whom are thinking, "What the fuck is she talking about?" For real complete beginners, let me clarify Adriene's yoga-babble.
ADRIENE: Take a second to check in with the breath.
ADDED NOTE: If you don't have luggage, you'll need photo ID.
ADRIENE: Just finding a little organic movement here.
ADDED NOTE: Because yoga should never be done around pesticides.
ADRIENE: Inhale in, and nice long exhale out. Tadasana!
ADDED NOTE: Just don't inhale out or exhale in. Kablammalang!
ADRIENE: I start at my tailbone, I travel up the spine, walking up the spine....
ADDED NOTE: And if I get to the corner, I pick up a green tea and then head back home.
ADRIENE: Find a nice space between the ears and the shoulders.
ADDED NOTE: Though if you find a loft with a kitchenette you're doing something wrong.
ADRIENE: Turn the left toes in.
ADDED NOTE: Beginners, go ahead and move the foot with them.
ADRIENE: Nice and easy here as we climb up the side body, climb up the spine...
ADDED NOTE: If we get lost, we'll call for sherpas.
ADRIENE: ...spreading the palms like starfish....
ADDED NOTE: Although it might be easier to make your elbow cluck like a chicken.
ADRIENE: Eventually we're going to want to get to a place where the bottom of that thigh is parallel to the earth.
ADDED NOTE: And if the top of that thigh isn't parallel to the earth, we'll seek help because our leg is broke.
ADRIENE: Spread the fingertips in celebration of you.
ADDED NOTE: Kablammalang! Baby, don't tempt me.
"I sense a bit of sarcasm there," God said. "I'll cut you some slack because you've been stuck on a boat slightly downscale from a Viking River Cruise."
"I don't mean to be disrespectful, Father: I'm just wondering exactly how evil an animal can be."
"Really?" replied God. "Clearly you are someone who has never owned a cat."
"So are you done now? You're not going to get pissed off again and wash everything away?"
"I promise," God said. "The flood destroyed all wickedness, and the earth will be a paradise from now on." With that, he waved his hands across the sky and a rainbow appeared. "Let this gaudy arc be a symbol of my covenant: Never again will I destroy the entire earth by the waters of a flood."
"Bless you, Father!" exclaimed a dazzled Shemp. "It's beautiful!"
Haim dropped to his knees. "Thank you, Lord!" he said. "We shall all sleep better at night knowing our descendants will never drown in a random God-willed occurrence."
"Wait," God replied. "Dial that back a notch, buddy. I didn't say I wouldn't send floods to kill you: I said I wouldn't destroy the earth. As in totally flood the place all at once. That doesn't mean I won't destroy one part, and then another, and then another, so that over the course of a year or two the whole thing has been demolished. I'll give you a grace period, though, so in between you can run from one safe part to another."
"There are still going to be floods," repeated Haim.
"Yup," said God. "And hurricanes, tsunamis, tornados, and water spouts. Aside from non-water disasters like earthquakes, volcanoes, and asteroids."
"So this rainbow thing doesn't actually mean a whole hell of a lot?"
God thought for a second. "Oh," he said. "You're right. Tell you what: just so we're not totally wasting our time, how about if it signals that there's just been a whole lot of rain? It'll be my way of telling you that you should have covered your lawn furniture."
"Really?" said Jobringo, Shadlump's wife. "This thing will appear AFTER it's rained? AFTER? It'll be your sign that, like, hey, everything on your clothesline is wet again?"
"That's right!" said God before he noticed their irritated faces. "Okay, you're right. I guess I didn't really think this through. Maybe the rainbow won't promise you anything, or warn you about anything. But maybe when you see it in the sky you'll, like, remember how much I love you."
"Yeah," said everybody. "We sure will."
