Well, after a long drought of Celebrity Mac Chicks, this has been a stellar week. Faithful Macenstein reader stupod sent us two iPhone shots he noticed from Sarah Silverman’s Twitter.
Went running in Tompkins Sq Park and ended up adopting 11 kids. I am such an impulse buyer!

Above: Lee and Mandy profess their love in front of 200 confused, roped-off strangers, just like Mandy pictured as a young girl.
When considering a marriage proposal, far more important than the choice of person is the location. Yes, it’s not important how long you’ve known someone, what really matters is that when it comes time to pop the question, you have as many complete strangers there to witness the event as possible. Their uneasy, confused applause – a reaction to the uncomfortably awkward situation you’ve created –is a memory you will want to hold onto, long after you’re divorce is finalized.
It’s a simple concept, and one that Lee Herbet understood completely as he proposed to his girlfriend of 6 weeks at the grand opening of the new Apple store at the Westfield Galleria in Roseville California. Of course, when one considers that Lee must have decided to propose at least a week in advance in order to pick out a ring and such, that means at best the two knew each other five whole weeks before deciding to take the plunge.
I’ve spent longer researching a TV than that…
Of course, it’s not the quantity of minutes you’ve known your fiancé, it’s the quality of that time. And since the two flew in all the way from Australia, that means they’ve spent almost as much quality time together on a plane, as not.
OK, enough. I know I am being a cynical bastard. It should be noted that Read more
A guy who is “turned on” by thumbs
Get it? Cause that’s a Power Button symbol this genius has had permanently embossed on his right thumb via what looks to be a fairly painful process known as skin removal.
Now, I have my share of regrettable tattoos, but skin removal seems a little out there even for me. Although I must say the thought of being able to give everyone the finger while pretending to be promoting the benefits of FireWire DOES sound rather appealing…

Video: The Macintosh Software Dating Game with Bill Gates (1983)

I once told a friend that I got “douche chills” watching a comedian bomb on stage. He had never heard the term before, and asked me what I meant. I wish I had had this clip then…
“Apples are Red, IBM’s blue, if Macs gonna be the 3rd milestone, I need all of you!”
Yes, douche chills are that odd, physically “chilling” sensation that runs between your shoulders and down your spine caused by feeling incredibly embarrassed for someone, and I was pretty much embarrassed for everyone here. I had seen the excerpt of Bill gates talking up the Mac about 1000 times before, but I had never seen it in the full context of this clip. Bill’s professed love of Apple loses something now, as it is obvious he really thought he might get laid if he won the game.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Mike for the tip!
We wish you a nerdy Christmas!
“What happens when a group of Apple nerds volunteer to set up their high school’s Christmas Tree in the main lobby?
They make an Apple logo tree topper of course! “
I actually think a better question is “What is up with that one kid’s pectorals? “ They appear to be radioactive.
What with the “War on Christmas” being hard fought, I’m actually surprised a school would even have a Christmas tree, much less let the school nerds be in charge. Read more
