You both win for nice execution of Unskippable reference. Talk to mr.Marion for reward

That's not an Unskippable reference it's a spaceballs reference. Unskippable referenced it though.

Oh yes, I remember now, I watched it last week, but forgot about that. Oh well, win win anyways

just so you don't forget again

Dear Lord Z,
My dad didn't name me after either of my older sisters (Maryanne and Marian), he named us all after an ancestor and civil war hero: Lieutenant Marion Keybridge Cox. The story goes that he took 12 gallows-bound soldiers and turned them into a special infiltration unit. The mission went horribly wrong and only Lt. Cox returned. Rumors had it that he had eaten the other men and his right arm to survive but there was never enough evidence to hang him, so they gave him a Purple Heart instead.

isit that the story to the dirty dozen with a bit of cannibalism tossed in?

Wonder how the "fight" scene would have been different with a mac pro tower. Thing is like a solid 40lb block of aluminum.

Good Point, that thing is heavy duty... looking. I bet it would surprisingly shred open like a foil wrapped chicken parm footlong. Too bad Marion couldn't beat the hippie with one of those.

Seriously though, as an ex-hippie myself, I can't stand macs. We have an IT guy in the office who swears by them and will actually do a mac sales pitch to anyone who can stand being around him for more than 3 mins. So I agree to work on an imac because it was in fact better (on paper) than the ancient PC I would otherwise have to use. The egg-mouse lasted a month before the wheel stopped working. This is apparently common so the IT guy shows me how to fix it by smacking it like it's a new pack of cigarettes. That got another week out of it. Now I use one of the ancient PC mice.
About the imac itself: in the one year I've been using it I've had a ton of crashes, programs disappear but I'm told they're open, and it had to have the mother/logic-board replaced. In short, I've had more problems with it in one year than I've had with any pc.
I used to stick with pc because my wife and I like games. Now I just don't understand why anyone would buy one of those overpriced yuppie-beacons. Between the horrible performance and the IT fanboy constantly saying how they're the best thing ever, I can't help but think that pretentiousness can sell computers.

I wonder if my dad knows that?

That, Mr. Cox, was amazing.
What sort of sadistic bastard names their kid "Renault" though?

Someone who likes french cars maybe?

12345? That's the kind of password an idiot would have on his luggage!

Seriously great read and I had many laughs keep up the good work.

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage!

That's not from Unskipable dude, or at least not originally. They were quoting Space Balls

 

[HentMas]

i am no one to judge, but this is the very first reliable source i have enjoyed...

i dont know why??

GO TEAM PC!!

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

Great article, lol!! The scary part is I know families with problems like that. The idea of using a PC as a blunt weapon is just awesome.

 

[Jark212]

This article by far made my... *looks at clock*... Morning...

It's good to find other people who have a unstoppable blood lust for hippies/mac-users...

You sir get +50 Awesome in my book...

 

[Bynine]

Hi, I'm a PC. AND I KICK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS

 

[addeB]

Hope your sister gets into better company, that Renault was a jerk.

*raise*

Really great read and grats to you if its a true story.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Having finished my uni course for the year, i've got a chance to catch up on a fair bit of reading, online articles included.

This, Marion, is hilarious as usual. A fresh, hilarious take on Mac v PC, as well as meat and braun versus macrobiotic douchebaggery. Keep up the good work.

 

[sailor_960]

I'd like to note that not all of use Mac users are thieves and hippies. I for one just like Mac's better, just me.

 

[Yureina]

Brilliant story. I loved it!

 

[ConfusedCrib]

Great article, and it was all true, great success.

 

[brainslurper]

Holy fucking shit.
PC=Personal computer OR computer with an x86 processor.
By both definitions, a mac is a PC.

In my experience, the anodized aluminum unibodies of macs are fare more lethal for hippie crushing. Especially the macbook air, very easy to decapitate them.

You could potentially use one as a blade, but there is a thinner PC called the Acer S5. At just 15mm at THICKEST it's probably a lot more lethal!

While it may be thinner in general, the width of the aluminum is also thicker, which means that it is likely going to bend when brought down on a hippie head.

Well, I hope that guy gets what's coming to him. Good for you, two.

On another note, speaking as a mac user, I just hope no-one tries to hate on macs because of this douchebag.

Macs certainly aren't easier, they're just different.

 

[sirFoolishness]

Very entertaining and I enjoyed your story but you really should leave your "fanboyism" out of it.

So the point with the title was that inexperienced computer users may have a hard time with OSX and that you can break a MacBook with a PC chassi? Wow, really?

Great work though, he had it coming

 

[AeroZeppelinSevenfold]

That story was incredibly entertaining. I actually own a mac, but I am very annoyed by the people that actually think it is a deity in an aluminum shell.

I can't really say that they are worth the money, but dang do I love me some garageband. I bash Apple a lot even though I own their product. Why doesn't the macbook air have an ethernet port? Why doesn't the new macbook pro have a disk drive? And why is my soul worth less than a mac pro?

Hi! This might be random to bring up but Miso soup is a bean paste, its very common here in Japan, but mainly as an acompaniment to something more substantial like oudon or nabe or something. It isn't really an acquired taste, it's nice the first time you make it, obviously that hippy dude wasn't showing her how to make it right.

seriously. Fucking hippies seem to have a thing for trying to streamline Asian cuisine and screwing it up royally. They've done it to rice, tofu, sushi, and now miso apparently. It's all good food, really, and it sickens me when I see their images tarnished in the west because they're commonly associated with toked-up, unemployed lazyasses, as well beatniks who think they're acting so "sophisticated" and "nonconformist".
