Title: Pick my iPod engraving
Post by: Brazen on November 27, 2009, 05:59:27 AM
I'm considering getting a replacement for my iPod nano that got swiped. Apple Store UK is having a Black Friday style promotion where there's a teeny-tiny reduction (a whole £7, whoop) but with free postage that makes it as cheap as the alternatives, so today's would be the day.

I'd like to get it engraved. It may reduce the resale value, but it'll piss off whoever nicks this one.

Suggestions, please. The only criterion is it must make me smile.

It breaks the meter! Works OKish for the first part of the first line, but creates a confusing sequence of long syllables on the end.
