4 Q 07.06.08 at 1:17 am

O.K. If you are going to talk hizzle you are going to have to interpret. I’m old and not hizzle literate. Please inlighten me. I know who started the hizzle shizzle, I just don’t understand it.

9 k. o'dee 07.06.08 at 2:43 am

Do I want to know what ManBabies.com is?

10 chapon 07.06.08 at 2:54 am

Something to finally bring out my nuffing.

Websites are not meant to be viewed on curved surfaces! There’s a reason why everyone’s moving to flat screen tvs, and you don’t see curved monitors at Best Buy. The websites are obviously in distress and this is nothing but torture for the intertubes. Sticking a cute penguin on it does not make it ok. >:[

12 lurkingsmirk 07.06.08 at 3:00 am

Haha, that’s pretty awesome :)

14 PattyP 07.06.08 at 3:20 am

We non-nerds out here mostly have no idea what was said. Somebody take mercy on us and translate.

15 taj 07.06.08 at 3:25 am

non-geek translation: “Linux hackers in the house”

Now, if you don’t know what Linux, a hacker, or “in the house” means, then I can’t help you there ;)

16 yankeebird 07.06.08 at 4:43 am

@ k. o’dee –
Manbabies.com is… special. I don’t know how else to describe it.

17 binky-mama 07.06.08 at 4:59 am

Somebody poke that penguin with a pin…he’s about to ‘hesplode!

18 Liz 07.06.08 at 5:04 am

Geeks need cute more than anyone. Made cynical by the internet, the only thing they can truly love anymore is fluffy little animals.

19 Mawsee 07.06.08 at 5:04 am

Good for you!!! That is awesome… more and more recognition to a wonderful site!!

20 Tom 07.06.08 at 6:35 am

And Meg said, “Let there be l33t,” and divided the cute from the darkness!

25 Katrina 07.06.08 at 10:25 am

26 Kimski 07.06.08 at 1:18 pm

27 Addis 07.06.08 at 1:45 pm

Shouldn’t this post also be filed under Press?

[OK, done - Ed.]

28 marie_n 07.06.08 at 8:17 pm

29 jmuhj 07.06.08 at 9:48 pm

30 Katrina 07.07.08 at 12:41 pm

What?

31 Theo 07.07.08 at 1:16 pm

Katrina — loosely translated, that was: “I can has Keanu??”

32 cheesybird 07.07.08 at 1:25 pm

Ha! Kimski, my brain went in the same direction yours did. I googled and clicked very cautiously. I was at once relieved, bewildered, and disturbed anew to discover what it really was.

33 chanpon 07.07.08 at 3:28 pm

Freak, I can’t spell my own name right. :-/

34 wagthedogma 07.07.08 at 3:39 pm

I really need to find this issue. My Eee seriously needs pimping.

35 Theo 07.07.08 at 4:33 pm
36 Theo 07.07.08 at 4:34 pm

(OK, so I substituted “hacking” for “pimping” because I’m oh so conservative that way)

37 wagthedogma 07.07.08 at 7:08 pm

Of course. Let’s keep our PCs PC, shall we? :D

38 Theo 07.07.08 at 7:20 pm

*headdesk*

39 Bashful 07.07.08 at 7:56 pm

I like the bewildered cowboy/gentleman farmer at the bottom of the page.

40 Katrina 07.07.08 at 11:47 pm

OK, thank you Theo for the translation services.

My Eee is just dandy, thank you for asking.

Shizzle, dear!

41 Katrina 07.07.08 at 11:49 pm

jmuhj- Yes, dear, you may have Keanu, it is fine with me.

42 Katrina 07.07.08 at 11:50 pm

My stars and garters…..

43 Jessica S. 07.08.08 at 10:43 pm

44 Radon 07.14.08 at 5:55 pm

The cover photo is an actual screenshot of the Linux desktop running the latest Compiz Fusion! Find videos on YouTube.
