Computers & Fun #6 6/28 Wednesday Afternoon - Computer Lab

[cheerfulgoth.livejournal.com]

The labcoats were by the door and Abby was fairly bouncing up at the front of the computer lab. "Did you guys ever have free swim in elementary school? It was usually when there was some free time or when the teacher was bored and everyone just got to go play in the pool for an hour."

"Today is Internet Free Swim. You guys get to spend time having fun and seeing what the internet has to offer in entertainment. I'm going to point some cool things that I like, but feel free to find your own treasures and show them off to the class. Well, most things you can show off to the class." Abby said with a wink and outlined the four main categories.

"First we've got intellectual fun. Things you read like comics, fanfiction, satire, blogs, and snarky reviews. Secondly we move onto clicky fun. Games, soundboards, puzzles, webquests. There's nothing like doing nothing, so for our third category we've got videos, clips, music, radio, tv shows and cartoons. Finally..." Abby grinned and leaned across the table, "We've got porn. It comes in all shapes and sizes, from vanilla to hard core and there's something for everyone. Even clowns."

She walked around and passed out large red drink cups. "Okay, so go ahead! Swim away and enjoy your Caf-Pow. No internet surfing party is complete without large doses of caffeine and sugar."

[ooc: Posted early because I'm sleeping in tomorrow and there's porn in this class. Wait for the OCD please. OCD is up! Go ahead and play!]

Peter went straight to The Order of the Stick (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript), a webcomic for D&D geeks. The solution to the riddle in #327 killed.

Conner might've spent all class at Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/), which was his idea of intellectual Internet fun anyway.

Because hey, sports statistics. That's a lot of numbers.

After checking the latest Userfriendly (http://www.userfriendly.org) update, Zack started searching fanficton.net for Skeletons fic. Sadly instead of witty, geeky humour, they all seemed to be about increasingly contrived ways to get Agent Ruth and Doctor Rennet into bed.

Once again Willow decided to multitask computer class by researching. Today she was trying to find out anything about ghosts and hauntings.

Granted this was not technically cheating since for Willow research was fun.

Sam took the opportunity to start doing some research on hauntings, looking for any kind of history of ghosts in the area.

In another window, he opened up fanfiction.net, and looked up Spooky Things. It wasn't until after he'd gotten deep into a "Dan/Sean" story that he realized what the little slash mark meant. Oops.

Bridge is halfheartedly scanning some bad Abaranger fanfic in one tab (what's with all those Orange and Purple Ranger OCs?) while looking up information on ghosts and negative energy in another.
