Special tech tip for Firefox users!
With extra hugs to dalizzie da geek!
If you’re using Firefox, you’re missing the mouseover texts, which means all kinds of Extra Special Jokes are going on, and you’re missing them. Well, maybe the jokes aren’t all that special, but still.
Two things to do: Go to ‘Tools’, then ‘Addons’, then ‘Get Add-ons’, then ‘Browse All Add-ons’
Search for, and install, Popup ALT Attribute (to make the alt text appear as a mouseover text) or IE Tab (to allow you to load an IE tab within Firefox).
You can install both. If you install IE Tab, you’ll get a little icon in the bottom right-hand corner of each browser tab. Usually, it will be the Firefox icon. Click on it to toggle back and forth between IE and Firefox; the icon will change.
An added level of coolness is that it will only apply to the one tab; your other browser tabs will stay Firefoxy.

As for the jokes: some of them are versions of stock jokes taken from the LOLCats site, and many of those, in turn, came from online gaming memes. The riff in 'Treehugger' is one of these. The original line, in response to the question "Where are you?" was "im in ur base, killin ur doods'. It appears often as "im in ur [wherever], [doing something to] ur [whatever]" I turned that into a Mac-line.
Another joke of this kind is the search for the bukkit (bucket), which was stolen from a walrus (or LOLrus) on LOLCats early in the site's history. They've been making bukkit jokes ever since. I sometimes make 'jakkit' jokes that relate to this. The original caption was 'i haz a bukkit/ o no they be stealin mai bukkit' -- I've done a couple of parodies of that.
Many of the LOLCats show 'persistent cat' or 'dramatic cat' or 'taco cat', etc. -- so we have persistent Mac, investigating Mac, botanical Jack, etc.
Other jokes that I've borrowed include sightings of Ceiling Cat (or Ceiling Mac), comments that something 'has a flavr' (flavour), and another line from online gaming, "all ur base are belong to us". I turned that into a line for Jack, and a joke about fishing: "all ur bass are belong to us".
And one of the popular riffs is the "invisible objects" joke, which works well with cats and even better with RDA, because of his hands.
