Though seriously, I just laughed and squealed quizzically about how this was somehow still acceptable IN 1988. You know, outside of the hollers and certain oddball cults. :P
And then I actually read the read of the page and saw that it was about teens marrying each other, not about an older adult robbing the cradle. Oops. :o Still, though, that title is NOT helpful!
From the time when Gateway still did goofy full-dress magazine ads: Their take on Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves(with a bit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail mixed in as well, I'm sure).
I'm supposed to rescue hostages right? Except I suck at this game so I accidentally killed them all, and it still gave me credit for completing the mission. With the "Rescue: #" replaced by "Rescue: DONE"
Gateway was originally from Sioux City, IA, and played up the "down on the farm" thing for all it was worth. They really did use cow-spotted boxes, too, back when they still sold direct.
I remember having a Compaq family computer back in the early 2000s. We switched to a Sony Vaio after that, then we got a Dell.
After that I think my mom had her Acer laptop, then my Mac, then my dad's Mac, then my Acer laptop, and most recently my sister's laptop, which (rather interestingly) was made by Toshiba.
Compaq was sort of the ass-end of their PCs anyways. They figured out they could release low-end PCs on their own name, easily enough.
On today's episode of Weird Ancillary Shit You Find On Furry Sites:
Yeah, that's been a thing...
OK, I love the oddly just attached “--with the paranormal power to dole out some long-overdue justice…” I feel this has potential to go on many things.
“Meet President Obama, the first black American President --with the paranormal power to dole out some long-overdue justice…”
“Meet wish-fulfillment, mary-sue bronie fan-fic writers, he writes 20 HiE stories a day--with the paranormal power to dole out some long-overdue justice…”
“Meet Martha Stewart, she wants to redecorate your living room--with the paranormal power to dole out some long-overdue justice…”
The rest is just…some sort of horrible word soup vomit. It’s like the author managed to capture the feeling of listening to a dense, oblivious girl who won’t shut the goddamn hell up and distilled it onto the back of the book.

Read that blurb as fast as you possibly can (affected Valley Girl accent totally optional; like hell she's from Texas!), and try not to fall over laughing. I dares ya. XD
And now I'm thinking of the end of the MST3K version of Manos, where Crow is rambling while the credits roll, and he mentions a five-year plan.
Yeah, that's what I meant to link to, but apparently I copied the wrong link. :P The self-published auto-sales guide from the schmuck used-car guy has no entertainingly bad art, just douchebaggery. :o

Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Playing American Football is tough, apparently wearing pads reduces ones lung capacity by 40%
I'm not one for sports, really, but I do enjoy how the rest of the world criticizes the sport for the pads and helmets and failing to realize that they're not there to shield the player from impact. They're so they can deliver more
Oh, and this one, "Modern Health", is even worse. It's from 1955 and uses "scientific terms" that are now considered insults just a notch below swears...among many other things.

How do you mean?
Look at the shoulder pads. They don't need to be that huge and that wide and that heavy to shield the player from impact, in fact the design is almost counterproductive to simply absorbing impact
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
Oh, that reminds me, given yesterday I was talking about the national cartoonists society and the guy who runs it, Ted Rall, is also bestest buds with CWC's brother. Of whom they should extend a membership to, honestly

I'd read it.
Best thing
Define "played".
I'd say more "endured" or even "had inflicted upon".
Apperantly, those are rugby shoulder pads
