2GAMAAW: A Commitment to Apathetic Journalism |
|
 It all started with 2 guys, and a Mac, who decided to make a website. Well, not really. While the original crew of 2GAMAAW was indeed, 2 guys there wasn't just one Mac. And 2GAMAAW isn't the first website they had, it wasn't even the first Mac-themed website they had. Then, before 2GAMAAW had even became the world famous multi-national conglomerate* it is today; the crew had taken on more than just 2 guys. Before long there were 8 people in total, 9 if you count Cosmic Stan, and not all of them were indeed guys. Plus we have to totally ignore the fact that there's way more than 1 Mac. In fact, it's more like 13.
It all started in a tiny shack in the deep south in the late 1800's. That is where an ex-mud wrestler, turned armadillo wrangler, with a passion for growing mushrooms, gave birth to Stanley Robert Edwards the 3rd. Her name was Mary "Mudinator" Edwards. Stanley lived a simple life, and died in his 30's when he discovered the hallucinogenic effects of certain mushrooms his mother was growing, and chocked to death on a stick he thought was a polish sausage.
Several years later, the Mac was born, and a couple innocent kids from Ohio, with a shared love of the Macintosh, created a website called Macidiots.com. That is where we first had a run in with Cosmic Stan.
He had come back as our faithful pet newt Isaac. I still remember his first words to me: "Vagina Pancakes taste like blueberry Twinkies in the daylight of the night moon!" At first, I just thought I had some really good pot, but then I realized what he was saying: "Apple would release a new product called the iBook at Macworld, and it will have wireless networking capability!" That was the moment we realized we had everything we needed to create the best website ever. We had a talking newt that could predict the future of Apple Computer.
Macidiots.com became an instant success. Every Steve-note we were dead on, with everything he was going to announce. In our finest moment, we had the complete Steve-note laid out word for word 3 weeks before Macworld even started. We became insanely rich. We had women, cars, houses in every county in Ohio, and then just as quickly as it started, it ended. Isaac died chocking on a stick I had left in his terrarium for him to climb on.
Macidiots.com was offline in a matter of days after word got out that we could no longer predict the newest Apple products. We lost everything. All of our money was gone, the cars exploded, and the houses burned to the ground. Worst of all, the women were gone.
Time heals all wounds, someone smarter than me once said, and that seemed to be the case because a few years later one of the founding members of macidiots.com, Jonahan, co-founded 2GAMAAW with Jedbeck. Not too long after that I joined the team, and eventually we had several people on the 2GAMAAW crew. In the beginning we were excited, and very energetic. We posted a new article at least once a day, and sometimes 2 or 3 articles in a day. Sometimes even on the weekends.
Cosmic Stan must have been a good newt, because he was reborn as a higher life form. He became a homeless wino screaming unintelligible phrases, when deciphered giving light to the next product Apple will introduce. He has since become an integral part of 2GAMAAW, even though we have slowed down the pace of articles.
But that is all about to change. We are sick of being lethargic, and we are announcing our new promise to you is this: We will try our best to bring you new content every week day, and maybe even sometimes on the weekend. Maybe. So welcome to the new 2 Guys A Mac and A Website, where our commitment to apathetic journalism is now stronger than ever.
*2GAMAAW is neither world famous, nor a multi-national conglomerate.

We have to start working again? Crap! I was just getting used to sitting around collecting fishsticks for doing absolutly nothing. I guess I'll have to spend less time at the brothel and more time in front of my Mac.

Whenever I open a door, I pull on the doorknob real hard, because isn't there a saying that if it comes off in your hand, you can rear back and throw it as hard as you can? I thought I heard that somewhere.
