Gabe & Max: now YOU can ask them how to get the Dream Life of YOUR Dreams.
Last week on an episode of Boing Boing tv, we featured an infauxmercial by Gabe Delahaye and Max Silvestri about How to Get the Dream Life of Your Dreams Using the Internet..
Since airing that episode, we've been overwhelmed with messages (bing bong, you got your emails) from viewers who wanted to know how they could get more out of the Internet with new technologies like blobs, and emails, and Myspaces such as the MySpace and Friendsters.
So we reached out to Gabe & Max and asked if they'd conduct a sort of internet video advice session JUST FOR BOING BOING. They agreed.
Now comes the excellent part: You, yes you, for the low low price of zero dollars, can ask your VERY OWN QUESTIONS to Gabe and Max using this internet comments form on this very post.
Act now and Ask now! Gabe & Max will answer you in a future episode of Boing Boing tv.

Hi Gabe and Max:
I am a lonely lady who very much likes cats, especially pictures of cats, especially that one poster of a cat on a branch that says "Hang in there." That one kills me, ha ha.
Is there any way I can use the internets to increase the amount of cat pictures in my life, preferably ones with humorous captions?
Is it true that "html" stands for HACKERS, TROLLS, MASHUPS and LOLCATS -- the fabled "four horsemen of the netpocalypse?"
Also how do you pronounce HARBLS please.
Hi Gabe! Hi Max!
I heard that the Internet is dangerous, with viruses and other dangerous things. Can I get sick? Also, can you demonstrate how to handle the mouse? Is AOL a good Internet for me, I just want personal use, no business. And, I am a little shy to ask, but I heard that you can see some things on the Internets and maybe I am curious to see these things, but I do not want, like the other users to know I am curious, again, maybe it was just National Enquirer articles, but I heard that the Internets can be unsafe and not private? (and, oh, maybe you can like hide a secret code to a good Internet for curious-but-shy girls?) Thank you. [Also, again, I am really shy to ask, but are you singles, and like, where can I see you with less clothes on the Inter Nets?]
I, too, would like more advice on how to make my MySpaces and Facebooks more sparkly, and make them emit a pleasing freshness odor. Is there like a plug-in?

Do you offer language skills courses for some of the odd and unusual languages spoken in foreign countries? Some screenfulls I encounter are made of words with too few vowels, crazy things things like bff, l8r, dk, and ttfn. Can you recommend a good LOLcats to English dictionary from the library? It might also help if you had a punctuation course. I learned a little in school, but we never went over college level punctuation like putting a parenthesis after a colon or semicolon. I guess what I'm asking for is a "learn to speak internet like someone who does speak internet" course.
When I was young we had a mouse in our kitchen that kept on running across the top of our cooker. One day my mum saw it and - freaking out - squished it with a hot frying pan. Most horrible thing I ever saw... this charred and mangled mouse crawling around in circles. I had to carry it outside and stomp on it.

I wanna make some kids. I heard from Jimmy (my friend, I think he knows computers better than you even do) the InterNet is great for meeting ladies that like to do it, and then we can make some kids. My question is, I wanna protect them from dirty stuff like pornos and liberal tv cos they didn't do me no good and they like taxes. If I watch a gay video on a YouTube (it wuz an axcident) can that make my kids gay? I don't look so strong in my picture on my myspace, but I can still kick ass, but can I send that to the photoshop store so I can meet more hot chicas? Jimmy said when I watch a video on my monitor screen they cant see whether my pants are up, but I want them to at sometimes. Can I? I don't want to click a button anymore, can you fix that?

Why do you need to set your wall on fire to keep infections from getting infected into your computer? This sounds dangerous!
