Bossy has been busy researching Apple’s technological advances, and here are just a few of the reasons Bossy thinks you should give her a free Macbook Air for her Excellent Road Trip:
- It fits in a manilla envelope, and Bossy has one of those:
- It looks like a clam. A thin clam:
- The ‘O’ is still sandwiched between the ‘I’ and the ‘P’ and Bossy likes that in a keyboard:
- It hovers:
- When it’s opened it resembles the letter ‘L’:
- When two are opened they look like bookends:
- There are plenty of places for Bossy to store her orange Tic Tacs:
- Look ma, no wires!
jessica says
January 25, 2008 at 10:00 amyou seem to want one for all the same reasons as me!! however, the lack of a cd drive is what intrigues me most…
All Adither says
January 25, 2008 at 10:01 amSteve Jobs is dreamy. He looks a lot like your husband.
Nilsa S. says
January 25, 2008 at 10:03 amMy household is Granny Smith Green with envy over the new Apple. Seriously, I don’t know how that company doesn’t take over the world.
Dr. Monkey says
January 25, 2008 at 10:14 amYou hate our balls? Damn. My balls are my best characteristic. Now you hate them. Thanks for ruining my day.
liv says
January 25, 2008 at 10:16 amOh, it’s a sexy lappy to be sure. It makes me sort of loathe my 1 year old macbook, in the same way that seeing my bf’s enormous screened iMac made me loathe my 17″. I kind of think that there should be at least a discount for alls of us bloggers what’re tryin’ to change the world thru navel gazing.
Suzy says
January 25, 2008 at 10:21 amBossy does not really want one because when the battery dies, you have to SEND THE WHOLE THING BACK TO MAC to get a new one.
Miss Britt says
January 25, 2008 at 10:26 amI bow to your genius Bossy.
Seriously.
Tempered Woman says
January 25, 2008 at 10:32 amSo I’ve been living in a cave and just saw a commercial for this yesterday and about wet myself I coveted so much. I’m a whore for processor speed and memory though and there are issues with battery (hubby said so). Still, I’d probably trade in the first born for one just to try it out.
And sorry Dr. Monkey- tis true. The only thing worse is the sight of them dangling when you bend over naked. Eww- I just shivered as I wrote that.
claude says
January 25, 2008 at 10:36 amOMG!!!! mens balls!!!! i’m dying. SOOOO TRUE. balls are yucky.
Alice says
January 25, 2008 at 10:45 amthat IS a pretty computer. so pretty. my preeciiouussss. ACK NO DO NOT NEED. i don’t even USE macs, and i want one of those.
Nancy says
January 25, 2008 at 10:46 amI’ll wait for round two when they get the bugs out. I heard about the battery too, and that they heat up fast ‘cuz they are so thin. ?!?!
Balls? *cough* neutered
Mr Farty says
January 25, 2008 at 10:47 amBalls aside, what is it with women and wires?
Robin says
January 25, 2008 at 10:49 amOooh, yes, balls are icky. Another good place to store your orange tick tacs though no?
soNOTcool says
January 25, 2008 at 10:50 amOrange tic tacs = Juno.
erin says
January 25, 2008 at 10:54 amSome of us LIKE the way men’s balls look!
Just Joking:)
Hotdog says
January 25, 2008 at 10:58 amI’m a huge tech-whore myself. And shoot, if you could get some smuck to give you one for free, why not? lol
i agree about men’s balls. they. are. nasty.
Junebug says
January 25, 2008 at 10:58 amBossy, I saw these new air Macs and I want one too. I have a orange tic tacs in my purse right now. When you visit, I will share. I sometimes eat them in church because I am hungry. ;D
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
January 25, 2008 at 10:59 amPlus, Apples are healthy and it wasn’t too long ago that Bossy was feeling under the weather. Using an Apply each day could avoid a repeat of that!
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
January 25, 2008 at 11:00 amOkay,should have used the preview feature. That would be an APPLE each day, not an APPLY.
Marriage-101 says
January 25, 2008 at 11:04 amI didn’t think I wanted one but you convinced me with the orange tic tac storage capability.
MarathonMom says
January 25, 2008 at 11:04 amHave Eljo write a personal recommendation. Then there’s no way he can turn you down.
Howard says
January 25, 2008 at 11:10 amIf you get one after this, I’m going to be sooooo… well… jealous.
I can’t wait until I can afford my new iMac. Then I buy one.
Patience come to me.
ricky says
January 25, 2008 at 11:15 amBoss, just got into a fight with the boss, but this post made it better… i like the commentary on men’s balls and where you can put your tic-tacs. i’m a gonna try that.
Avitable says
January 25, 2008 at 11:18 amWith battery problems and no CD/DVD option, I don’t think it’s as awesome as it looks.
Kathy says
January 25, 2008 at 11:24 amApple must have known I’m in the market for a new laptop.
No CD drive, eh? Between that and the storage, I think I’ll wait.
(It sure is pretty, though.)
Deb on the Rocks says
January 25, 2008 at 11:25 am“Look ma, no balls.” That’s what I should have said when I introduced my new girlfriend to my mother.
magpie says
January 25, 2008 at 11:35 amthey’re paying you, right? they should be.
Oh, The Joys says
January 25, 2008 at 11:37 amMaybe you shouldn’t have said the “men’s balls” thing whilst sucking up to Mr. Jobs.
I can just see him now with a mirror between his legs going, “What? What?”
Jason says
January 25, 2008 at 11:37 amI hope you sent this post to his “people”.
I would give you one after that plea!
Wait, women hate men’s low hangers??
Tootsie Farklepants says
January 25, 2008 at 11:45 amThe “men’s ball’s” comment was totally unexpected, equally hilarious, and sadly true.
andrea says
January 25, 2008 at 11:48 amI would be the happiest girl alive if I could get a Macbook or whatever they’re called these days. I would be very happy too if you got one of those super skinny ones and brought it when you visit ME on your road trip so I could drool over it.
Vanessa says
January 25, 2008 at 11:48 amWhile the lack of the cd drive makes it less appealing to me, I am lusting after a new MacBook. Badly.
Momo Fali says
January 25, 2008 at 11:54 amThanks to loads of Christmas candy, my pants are almost big enough to put that in my back pocket.
Peg says
January 25, 2008 at 11:58 amWe took a bite of the Apple in Dec and got an iPhone and an iMac. We are so in love, the MacBook will be next. Besides, this will leave more room in your van for you to load all of the crap, I mean trasures, in your basement and pass them out along the way. See how that works out?
Ava Von Snarky says
January 25, 2008 at 12:06 pmI love the levitating part. That is a nice feature in a computer, so space saving.
I agree, I can’t stand to look at men’s balls either. Blech!
Thank you for making me laugh.
mr.lootiatto says
January 25, 2008 at 12:12 pmthank god I got rid of mine, and the wires and speakers. take it from me, women hate those things.
Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah says
January 25, 2008 at 12:23 pmI heart it too. Tell Steve to hook me up. You can just bring it by on my stop.
jessicab says
January 25, 2008 at 12:40 pmBossy definitely deserves to be hooked up.
Yeah, mens balls, not so attractive.
dlyn says
January 25, 2008 at 12:42 pmRats – and I just bought a new computer. Whatever – Macs aren’t compatible for work anyway. Hope you get one though!
anastasia beaverhausen says
January 25, 2008 at 12:51 pmI heart Steve Jobs. And the stuff he dreams up. Smart is so Sexxaay!
we_be_toys says
January 25, 2008 at 1:02 pmThose are definitely three things that THIS woman hates to look at, unless the balls are arranged in what is known as a “Fruit Bowl” – then I’m compelled to look!
Tracey says
January 25, 2008 at 1:07 pm*SLURP* That is me licking up the drool running down my face. Apples are ever so yummy, are they not?
Redneck Mommy says
January 25, 2008 at 1:09 pmIt would be hard for me to actually use that computer.
I’d be too busy fondling it to actually, you know, work.
Jacki says
January 25, 2008 at 1:10 pmYou always crack me up! My hubby keeps hinting around that he would like one of these….
qt says
January 25, 2008 at 1:25 pmI was laughing so hard at the nastay balls comment, that as I quickly scrolled down through the comments, I saw that one started with SLURP and I got really, really scared.
But it was not a comment directed at the balls portion of the post, so I am able to exhale now, and continue laughing.
davido says
January 25, 2008 at 1:30 pmYou women and your billionaires-so-sexy lust! I bet I’d be pretty sexy with a billion dollaz hanging from my balls.
I have a monstrous laptop, which either compensates for or correlates with other parts of my anatomy. 17″ Dell 9400. I decided to get the kind that spontaneously combusts when I say the magic keywords o’ destruction, because I’m radical like that.
Manic Mommy says
January 25, 2008 at 1:33 pmI strongly agree with OTJ that you should never insult a man’s balls when you’re trying to cajole him into giving you something for nothing.
Unless the sexy thing is letting him know maybe it could be sumthin’ for sumthin’
Foolery says
January 25, 2008 at 1:41 pmI’m Twittering this post because Twitter is dominated by MacLusters, who will appreciate it.
My old eMac will have to last me a while, unless, of course, Mr. Jobs is willing to give you a twofer for your left coast Mac friend Foolery. Let’s ask.
And is it me, or does Steve Jobs look an awful lot like Gelman?
HRH says
January 25, 2008 at 1:48 pmSo right and the fact that you don’t have one (yet) is so wrong.
Scott-O-Rama says
January 25, 2008 at 2:36 pmI’ll totally get you one. Right after I sell my kidney. And get me one.
Women hate the look of men’s balls? Gawd, I didn’t know that. You miss so much when you’re gay. For the record though, I’m not to found of the look of a woman’s whoo hoo.
Sarcasta-Mom says
January 25, 2008 at 2:58 pmIf Stevie gave all of us fabulous bloggers those sexy new machines, just think of all the great press he’d get throughout the blogoshere. Huh, huh? Hint, hint.
When I saw the commercial for that the other day, I wanted it so bad I almost cried….
Dharmamama says
January 25, 2008 at 3:52 pmRicky said: Boss, just got into a fight with the boss, but this post made it better… i like the commentary on men’s balls and where you can put your tic-tacs. i’m a gonna try that.
*then* the slurp comment.
Too many orange tic-tacs in close proximity to men’s balls. And apples. I’ll never see the fruit, the candy, or the… fruits… in the same way again.
Dharmamama says
January 25, 2008 at 3:56 pmOh, yeah – just remembered this tid-bit: Steve Jobs *totally* dissed writer and sex educator Violet Blue:
http://tinyurl.com/2q4yf3 (link to her site, with various explicit items)
Sewmouse says
January 25, 2008 at 4:02 pmI think Steve Jobs in that picture looks rather like the guy who played “Uncle Martin” in “My Favorite Martian”.
Sewmouse is old. Sewmouse cannot “do” Mac’s – Sewmouse is one of the few people on the planet able to cause a Mac to go BSOD.
Flea says
January 25, 2008 at 4:10 pmHy hunny drools every time he even THINKS about the new Mac. But we just bought new Inspirons. 🙁 But Espresso is a nice laptop color. That’s what I keep telling myself.
Miss Wisabus says
January 25, 2008 at 4:10 pmIt *is* rather splendid looking, but I can’t see myself ever needing one.
Who am I kidding? That’s so not about NEED.
Amy @ M&M of a Mommy says
January 25, 2008 at 4:31 pmCome on Steve, you can’t resist Bossy can you? And look at all the fabulous attention she is giving you.
I hadn’t even heard of this new-fangled MacBook Air until I visited her site.
Alex Elliot says
January 25, 2008 at 4:39 pmSteve should definitely give Bossy the Macbook Air! Her reasoning is brilliant.
Gigi says
January 25, 2008 at 4:45 pmYum, orange Tic Tacs..
David says
January 25, 2008 at 5:12 pmYou just haven’t seen enough men’s balls.
Julie Pippert says
January 25, 2008 at 6:05 pmYou should get a case or twelve, one laptop for you and the rest as party favors.
nancypants says
January 25, 2008 at 6:28 pmIt does look nice but I think I would accidentally run it through the washer and dryer and then I’d have to stick in a bag of rice to see if that would dry it out. But I don’t have a bag of rice that big.
I did have a Mac laptop but I traded her in for the glorious iMac desktop and I couldn’t be happier!
islaygirl says
January 25, 2008 at 7:04 pmSo true about men’s balls, and David (a couple of comments above)? Is that an invitation?
I too love the macbook air. i REWIND THE TIVO just to watch the commercial over and over.
diesel says
January 25, 2008 at 7:05 pmAnd when the batteries go out, you just throw it away, right?
Reese says
January 25, 2008 at 8:26 pmyeah, I’m not a big fan of looking at guys’ balls either.
Alli ~Mrs. Fussypants says
January 25, 2008 at 8:58 pmMah Beloved Bossy, I never disagree with you but, just this once…
Wires? No
Balls? Yes
Shh! Don’t tell.
Suebob says
January 25, 2008 at 9:42 pmI tried to get one from the tech guy at work today. All he had to offer me was a Dell desktop. Sigh.
Kristen says
January 25, 2008 at 9:49 pmohmygod, I’m crying. LOL
flutter says
January 25, 2008 at 9:58 pmyep that is pretty sexy, those expensive bookends
Kelley says
January 26, 2008 at 5:18 amI am in love with my MacBook. Her name is Maya. But I would drop her like last seasons shoes for one of those babys.
Poor Maya is now covered in drool while I do a Homer Simpson over her hope-to-be replacement.
Good luck Bossy. Get me one too will ya? I will call Steve hawt too if it helps.
Balls McGee says
January 26, 2008 at 8:10 amUgly balls???????????? Not if you dress them up a little. When I was first runner up in the State Fair Mr Balls Beauty contest, I put little bow ties on them and dipped them in silver and gold glitter. They were adorable!
PLO says
January 26, 2008 at 11:33 amThe last line about the balls is too funny, you made me laugh out loud.
Dara says
January 26, 2008 at 12:28 pmNow, Bossy…I must take umbrage on the “balls” remark. Having just had a baby boy, I cannot stop gazing at his balls, or as my husband puts it, “his baby man junk”.
I know it makes me a bit of a freak, but being a female and giving birth to a male, is mind-blowing…the miracle of conception and all that jazz.
So, I am a big fan of the package. Also of the Apple of which you speak. Perhaps if I pay special attention to my hubby’s balls, he may feel inclined to purchase me one of those….I’m just sayin’.
Omyword! says
January 26, 2008 at 2:07 pmI don’t know who said “I’m a whore for processor speed and memory,” but that person is my new best friend.
But Bossy, I think that just on account of the time you put in to making all those pretty pictures, Steve should just come over and give you one tomorrow.
That said, I think I want to have sex with Air, but I don’t necessarily want to own it.
FENICLE says
January 26, 2008 at 3:10 pmNow those are expensive book ends!
Madame Jozet at Halushki says
January 26, 2008 at 3:25 pmIt’s so sleek!
I’m sure it would make an equally lovely place mat or pantyliner.
Mrs. G. says
January 26, 2008 at 3:26 pmIt is a sweet and crisp looking apple.
BrentD says
January 26, 2008 at 5:12 pmWires are a no no?
I guess that explains a lot the failure of my romance novel, Cables of Desire.
Should have checked with you first.
seattle mamacita says
January 26, 2008 at 9:19 pmfancy book ends might have to get me a pair then…
Haley-O says
January 26, 2008 at 10:45 pmI waaaaaaaan it! And, I thoroughly enjoyed this post. Cracked me right up. BALLS.
Helen K says
January 27, 2008 at 9:09 amHahahah excellent!
If you get one of these for free on the back of that post you’ll have to let us all know so we can do the same!
Love your work bossy! x
Haley says
January 27, 2008 at 12:26 pmIt’s pretty hot I must say. 😀 You posts are always the best for laughs!!!
erin says
January 27, 2008 at 2:51 pmI want a floating laptop!
Leaf, probably... says
January 27, 2008 at 5:01 pmOh… I want. I don’t care How many Kidneys I’m going to need to sell for it. It will all be worth it when I have that sweet, sweet manilla evelope hovering above my desk, covered in cocktail sauce.
di says
January 27, 2008 at 7:36 pmyou certainly have no problem with asking for anything and everything
Prof. J. says
January 27, 2008 at 8:21 pmYou should so get an Apple. For free. The good will of your readers should sway Mr. Jobs.
Emily says
January 28, 2008 at 11:16 amIn all it’s perfection, is missing one thing: the CD drive. That’s like not having a kidney.
mj aka sugarmama says
January 29, 2008 at 12:14 amWomen hate balls? really? hehe…
Lori says
January 29, 2008 at 6:01 pmI totally hate the look of wires and balls. Totally. And I wish I had saved for a Macbook instead of the piece of crap that has Vista installed.
