Before I created the internet, people had to rely on these unwieldy bound stacks of paper called ‘books’ that were full of tons of information – mostly irrelevant to what you actually needed to know. Here is an example of one such book – a cookbook that Lloyd bought at an auction years and years ago. It is divided into all kinds of categories – main dishes, side dishes, desserts, baby food, cocktails, how to make your own sausage, blah blah blah. It has two things in it that I need – how long do you boil eggs to make them hard boiled, and my sister’s awesome carrot cake recipe taped to the inside. God bless the internet.

I thought Al Gore invented the internet? Was it the two of you working together, or is he part of the vast left-wing conspiracy?
Lauren says
I invented Al Gore, too.
Aaron says
could you please turn ol Al off please
Lloyd says
First he must fulfil his two-fold purpose: (1) stop global warming and (2) really tick off the second President Bush.
Lauren says
Hi, Aaron!
Brad says
How do you find these videos? Do you just sit and surf YouTube sometimes?
(I think the fact that it’s not in English makes it even more funny.)
Lauren says
I can never reveal my sources! (email forward) Hey, who said that?
Karla says
Brad, how do you spot those tiny links?!?
Deborah says
I’m pretty new to all this, so I have no idea what Brad is talking about.
Peggy says
Move your mouse over the little line before the word books, 2nd row & click (_’books’).
hehe … me knowing something … hehe
Anyway, that video is hysterical. I LOVE IT!!! Thanks Lauren for finding these gems!
Kristi says
Lauren invented the internet, so she has instant access to anything she wishes. The video is a hoot!
Deborah says
Also, so all of you know that I am not a slacker, it’s actually 6:47 a.m. here.
Deanne says
I, on the other hand, am a slacker. It’s 9:14. It’s where Lauren’s wasted time becomes Deanne’s wasted time. Oh, and by the way, the stupid stack on my stupid desk just got an inch taller. It’s these stupid thank yous.
Lauren, you’re a very tricky one! Now I’m going to have to go back and review Every Single Post to be sure I haven’t missed an Easter Egg.
Speaking of Easter Eggs, Leo just showed me the Easter Egg of Gollum on the Two Towers DVD. Can you believe that I’ve had the movie since the special edition boxed set came out in the stores and I still hadn’t bothered to find the Easter Eggs? I cried, it was so funny. (Either that, or it was really late and I was tired so it just struck me as funny.)
Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj411At8VRI
Lauren says
Just to ease your mind, there have not been many easter eggs at all. I think these are the only ones:

http://lloydandlauren.com/?p=1081#comments (There’s a semi-colon in there. I originally made it a comma, and Lloyd changed it behind my back.
If I had skills like Brad, I could link to a picture, but I don’t know how to do that.
Charles says
Good morning campers! Who wants biscuits and gravy?
Karla says
Oh! I’ll take some, please! Thanks Charles!
Lloyd says
Hmmm, I see that Lauren is letting just about anyone on her internet now.
Kristi says
Do you deliver? We’re good tippers.
Charles says
Why yes, we do. All the way to our kitchen table. See you soon.
Lauren says
Hooray! Charles is here! When I’ve had some coffee and breakfast (not biscuits and gravy, though), I’ll make a post.
