“At this point in the alternate narrative we never got around to
writing, Davey McBird is standing on the steps of small claims
court with little birds and planets circling his head; he screws up
his dignity (like a Mike Royko character, who always had a sort of
tragic dignity, even at his most wrong) and wags a finger under our
noses, exclaiming, ‘but still!’“Which is exactly what we got from SCO spokesman Blake Stowell
who, internetnews.com reports, ‘said the ruling wasn’t unexpected
and leaves the door open for the company’s lawyers to look into why
it took so long for DaimlerChrysler to send the certification
letter.’“Kind of like Ahab with the whole ‘for hate’s sake I spit my
last breath at thee’ business. Or Davey McBird waggling his
imaginary finger and saying ‘But still…!'”
