Of 2008's PBKers, five did not have visible Facebook accounts, and eleven had their privacy settings activated so that Bwog could not see their profiles. But of those who did have Facebooks, see if you can match the PBKer to their favorite Facebook quote. No cheating—it's PBK.

A. "I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline"

B. "4 mg is still quite a large scale anyway" - boss

C. "it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a jolly roll-around."

D. "O, che sciagura d'essere senza coglioni!" -Voltaire, "Candide"

E. "From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put." Winston Churchill

Bwog�s Mac has been acting up lately, necessitating a trip to the Apple Store at 58th and Fifth. Luckily, the wonderland of glass and white plastic is open 24/7, which can lead to some odd experiences. Bwog contributor Kate Redburn spent some time at the Genius Bar in the wee hours of the morning, and has this report.

geniusGentle, non-fluorescent lighting in the Apple Store creates the illusion of permanent day, making a recent 2:00 AM visit to the store much the same as a visit during normal business hours. Shoppers, mostly men, stroll through geometric displays, and employees diligently man on-floor positions. After a few minutes, the cast of characters starts to repeat itself.

Stalker Employee

Profile: Possibly the most dangerous and easily the most annoying person you will encounter at the Apple Store, Stalker Employee will not answer any questions for �confidentiality reasons.� Beware. He will follow you around the sparsely populated store, quickly jumping into casual poses when you glance in his direction.

Reason for being there: It�s his job.

Post-bar Buddy: Profile: Bleary eyed bar hoppers also have a strong showing late at night. These guys hobble from spotless display to spotless display, and are prone to random bouts of laughter. In between turning dials on iPod speakers, they stop to marvel at the cylindrical elevator in the center of the store.

Reason for being there: They need new nanos.
