For the MAC lovers

Dear Jennifer,

Someday, I'll be able to afford a mac laptop. Until then, I remain a PC.

However, even as a PC, I can enjoy the egg on Microsoft's face in this short clip from the debut of Windows 98 on CNN.

PRESENTATION CRASH

Classic Violence continued...

Dear Jennifer,

This was my favorite Nintendo game. Sure, Super Mario Bros was awesome, but Joust was the game that for a long time we didn't have at home, and so I was obsessed with playing whenever I could find it.

If you haven't ever played - the basic idea is to make your flying ostrich sit on the heads of the bad guys - and then eat their eggs.

...it's a strange concept. Interestingly, there is a script version that was going around town where death-row inmates were given the option of fighting for their freedom on the back of large ostriches (ostriches that exist because cows had become extinct) for the general amusement of the public. Entertainingly, the writer of that script sued "Death Race" for using a story line where death row inmates are given the option of racing for their freedom for the general amusement of the public. I can't imagine the death-row-gladiator idea really originated with the writer of JOUST.

JOUST!

Classic violence

Dear Jennifer,

Now that you're back in LA - you'll need new games to play while watching TV while reading a magazine.

Here's an oldie and a greatie. Oddly, it is more difficult than I remember.

DUCK HUNT

Tweet soup for the soul

Dear Jennifer,

This is a sweet little public blog where people list three experiences they have that they think everyone should have.

SOUL PANCAKE

I mean, who doesn't love bacon?

Dear Meredith:

I love bacon. You love bacon. We all love bacon. And so, you definitely need to visit this site devoted to all things bacon.

The Baconcyclopedia

Schadenfreude should be a label

It certainly deserves a category unto itself.

Here is an article about all the craziest ways soccer players (aka footballers) have hurt themselves. Nothing sucks worse, I am thinking, than being killed by a pig stampede in the middle of practice. Thanks to Trumbo for the find!

The dangers of soccer

There was always something slightly disturbing about this story.

Dear Meredith:

Enjoy this charming little re-interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood.

I hope my sisters never find this page

Dear Jennifer,

Do you have any really good blackmail photos of your sis? I highly recommend contributing them to this website:

AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTOS

Oh crap indeed.

Dear Meredith:

I love Facebook, as it's an incredibly easy way to waste time clicking through people's pictures and finding out what old classmates are up to without actually having to talk to them. But what would you do if your parents joined Facebook?

Oh crap. My parents joined Facebook.

Finally, Nature revealed!

Dear Jennifer,

My little sis is obsessed with nature shows. This, however, is probably not what she's used to seeing:
