Aunt Nettie is one of the Internet
pioneers of the 19th century. She still gives good bandwidth from a
franchised housing development for the elderly in Redbone, Arkansas, which she calls Living
Dead "R" Us. As the World's Leading Authority, she freely
dispenses advice on technology, the fascinating history of the early
Internet and pretty much whatever she feels like. Click on Archives to see them all.

Dear Righteous:
Toaster Rastas. It was the accompanying jingle which provoked outrage in
the affected community:
Got your dreadlocks in a knot?
It comes from smoking too much pot!
Instead of ganja, try our snack —
Healthful, tasty, cheap as crack!
Rastafarians the world over were justifiably outraged, and protested
with "toke-ins" in front of Nabisco's manufacturing plants, and in the
parking lots of the Kwik-E-Marts that carried the insulting imitation
food product. Nabisco at first tried to spin the product as a tribute to
the Rasta lifestyle, but when that failed they pulled the product off
the shelves, repackaged and rebranded it as "Muslim Munchies."
