The Giant who Cried Wolf!

After all the back and forth over the past several months, even I am tired of the whole Microsoft/Yahoo courtship. Let's review:

Yahoo is the Treasurer of Student Council, and is working hard to keep her position.
Google, of course, is the Class President, Prom King, Homecoming Court, you name it.
Microsoft comes along, tried to woo the Y! Cause she is pretty, just not pretty enough.
Yahoo says "maybe" but I could do better (Microsoft is a bit geeky)
Yahoo plays hard to get, Microsoft pays for dinner (again) and asks for another date.
Yahoo thinks "but Google MIGHT ask me for next Friday" VERY Marcia Brady!
Microsoft balks, Yahoo weeps, and then gets her mom and day screaming at her "But you HAVE to go to the Prom." You are pretty, but don't try to be something you are not!
Yahoo tries to entice Microsoft back to her house. Microsoft declines. He is over it.
Yahoo says "I'll show you!" and Asks Google to the prom. Google has heard about Yahoo! And accepts, sort of. "Says I will drive you, but I can't promise to dance with you at all."
Yahoo agrees, and when she gets there, immediately goes to Microsoft to gloat.

Microsoft asks her to dance.

And there they are. Who knows what will come of it, but honestly, they better either get it on, or move on. They are becoming the Prom Court Jesters.
