Learn the inside story of Mac OS X. SheepShaver 2.4 — a universal binary freeware emulation application for running Mac OS 9.0.4 (or 8.6 or 7.x) — will. The OS9 system folder installed through the COI Chubby Bunny 4.0.1 update (54MB). Chubby Bunny wouldn’t recognize a game CD that I wanted to play. CD/DVDs are not an option at the moment. Copy your data from your CD/DVD onto your Mac’s /Users/Shared folders if your desired OS 9 program can work with data in that fashion.
Notes:
- COI will mount all of the following named volumes in “/Users/Shared/”
automatically: 400Meg.dmg, 800Meg.dmg, 1200Meg.dmg, MyOldHD.dmg,
COIHD.dmg. - COI is essentially Sheepshaver pre-configured and pre-installed with the highest
version of os9 that it will run. Its main advantage is that it is a move-anywhere,
zero-install, no-configure, “works out-of-the-box” version for people who have
been using Macs because of their ease of use (but may not have the patience or
ability to do a fairly complex install and configure procedure). - I love macs and have had them since 1984. My intent is/was not to violate any
apple copyrights (see Rant below), so unless you are in the realm of “hacker” you
will not be able to see, use or extract the any apple roms etc from this distro.
Future versions will possibly have more extreme protection measures such as
encrypting apple’s stuff and checking the machine gestalts to make sure you own
apple hardware, check for an os9 instal CD, but for now... - Known problems/limitations: the network/appleshare functionality is limited by
9.04. I’ve removed printing and many/most of the features in os9 that are already
available in os X – you can put these back in when you install your own os9 from
your old mac (see below) – but remember, you should only use this for those few
legacy apps in classic that have not osX equivalent (I had web-browsers, office

A man playing Chubby Bunny
Chubby Bunny is an informal recreational and hazinggame that involves the placement of an increasing number of marshmallows or similar items such as cotton balls into one's own mouth and stating a phrase that is intended to be difficult to say clearly with a filled mouth. The game is often played where marshmallows are readily available, such as around a campfire. Variations include similar-sounding phrases such as Fluffy Bunny, Fuzzy Bunny, and Chubby Monkey.
Although the origins of the game are unknown, a 1959 Peanuts comic strip shows Snoopy's mouth being filled with an increasing number of marshmallows while Charlie Brown keeps count.[original research?][1]
Rules[edit]
In the game, each participant usually places a marshmallow into their mouth and says 'chubby bunny'. If they are able to state the whole phrase, usually in a comprehensible manner that the other participants wholly concur to, they pass that round. Each successful player then adds an additional marshmallow to the ones already in his or her mouth and repeats the phrase. A player who fails to complete the phrase is eliminated from the game. The process continues until only one player remains. After the penultimate player loses the game, the winning player might have to place one more marshmallow into his or her mouth and may have to state the phrase once more. The winner of the game is the player who fits the most marshmallows into his or her mouth.[2][3] Some variants of the game require the winner to actually ingest the marshmallows.
Cases of deaths[edit]
At least two people have died of suffocation from choking on marshmallows.
On June 4, 1999, 12-year-old Catherine 'Casey' Fish died after choking on four marshmallows while playing Chubby Bunny. The contest was scheduled for the annual Care Fair held at Hoffman Elementary School in Chicago's North Shore area. It was to be supervised, but Casey and some of her friends began playing while the teacher was momentarily away. She collapsed, and was taken to Glenbrook Hospital, where she died a few hours later. Fish's parents subsequently sued the school district, with the case eventually being settled out of court. They also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to warn about the dangers of Chubby Bunny.[4][5][6]
On September 12, 2006, Janet Rudd, 32, from London, Ontario, Canada died in a Chubby Bunny competition at the Western Fair. St John Ambulance volunteers initially came to Rudd's aid prior to the arrival of Paramedics from Thames EMS. The paramedics arrived with equipment including a defibrillator and suction devices, but were unable to remove the blockage in the unconscious woman's throat.[7]
