Another option, if you have 3 minutes of spare time, why not send them a =
submission?  A very special submission.  One you might even enjoy =
reading yourself:

"SCIgen - An Automatic CS Paper Generator"

http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/

Of course, you could also send them a different paper (title has words =
you might not want displayed in large fonts on a monitor in public):
