Help me be mean to my mother!

xiphiasSo, Mom and Dad just got a new cable modem.
I want to see if I can make it so that she never has another productive moment again.
Okay, first link I thought of was Homestar Runner. She could start with this, although, since she was asking what They Might Be Giants have been up to recently, this or any of the Puppet Jams under Puppet Stuff in Toons might be good choices.
So, what else? I'm not sure if Mom's the right sort of geek to appreciate that much of Irregular Webcomic, or Casey and Andy, although I think Dad is.
Orisinal will probably be a good timesuck for her.
Any other favorite online timesinks?

Date: 2005-09-10 04:45 am (UTC)One of my favorite timesinks was Planetarium (http://www.beholder.co.uk/planetarium/), although it is a bit of a commitment because it is released in twelve weekly installments and so you can't spend a week offline in the middle of it without getting pretty whacked. And http://www.triddlers.com/default.jsp just swallows you alive.

Does she have email? NEEDS an email account. And a livejournal account tends to help too! ;)

Date: 2005-09-10 03:18 pm (UTC)I find The Straight Dope to be a huge timesink, especially if you read the Message Boards. Also Metafilter and Ask Metafilter.
Still, nothing free that I can think of quite compares to Orisinal when it comes to timesinks.

I want to thank all you helpful people out there
