Oh, woe is me, oh, woe is i
Corp'rat massa jus' got bought by Adobe
The Macro-Tittie just ran dry
I be weepin' like Niobe
I curse, i scream, i spit and cry,
Should i chop my hair off or use a Flowbee?
I feel like i might want do die,
Should i drink hemlock or drink a Sobe?
Oh Ado-be, oh Ado-bay,
I hope i can work in San Jose!

Do you get a big electric cat as the new office pet?

OK, i give up... i don't get the reference.

The Adobe Photoshop mascot is the Big Electric Cat; it's the graphic used for the gang screen in several versions. I'll have to try and dig up a screenshot, but there's an odd cut-out rendition on this page (http://www.designbyfire.com/000069.html).

Actually, had I bothered reading the answers to that competition, Big Electric Cat was the code name for Photoshop 4, hence the mascot. Meh. Close enough.
