Systems Upgrade

I’m sorry, but I need to share this with someone, and you (ROFLBlog) happen to be the closest at hand: Jay frickin’ Maynard signed my Tron shoes!

He knew about the design, but when I asked him if he had ever signed a pair, he said no. At this point, I’m not really sure what to do with them. I could: Auction them for charity. Ensconce them in a time-release pod that opens in the year 2199. Wear them to death. So many possibilities here. Thanks Jay!
