Title: Interesting Sites
Post by: Mr_Pleasington on December 04, 2002, 02:17:19 PM

I thought I'd share two of the most interesting sites I've been to in some time:

Strong Bad's Email:  http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html
  I visited some old friends at my old college a few weekends back and was introduced to Strong Bad, a flash cartoon by Homstarunner.  SB answeres viewer mail and I think I've ruined about 3 pairs of pants from laughing so hard that I wet myself.  ;)   I really enjoy this kind of humor:  I recommend viewing:  Theme Party, New Hands, Comic, Guitar, Little Questions, and Duck Pond.  
Enjoy.

Odd Pics:  http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Odd_Pics.html
Funny, strange, unique, and down-right creepy photographs.  I only wish he had more....

Wow, just checked that thread and totally missed it the first time.  huh.

Oh, and if you go to the main site of the Odd Pics page there is a lot of interesting stuff...try giving the Death Trivia a read.

My question is what were you looking for when you stumbled across this site?

Ok, this is something that you've GOT to read through.

Unless you've never read the Lord of the Rings. If you're just watching the movies, beware this thread: there are a lot of spoilers.

That is stinking hilarious.  I especially loved the Humphrey Bogart movie version, although the Tom Clancy and Douglas Adams were excellent as well.

I was also pleased to see so many people making fun of Terry Brooks.

hah. terry brooks stinks.

here is a great site : The Official Darwin Awards (http://www.darwinawards.com). as the site says :

Quote

The Darwin Awards honor those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it in really stupid ways.  We commemorate those who gave their all, adding a dose of chlorine to the pool.

I've always been a huge Darwin Awards fan.  I'm hoping someday these got optioned into a TV show of sorts.  Wishful thinking, I guess.

Not as funny as the one above, but an amusing read. Relativity for the muppet generation:

In honor of our recent poll, here's "Which Annoying B-List Celebrity Are You?"

Just in case you're curious, I'm Pauly Shore. I'm so proud. also note that this same site has a Mormon name generator that's not nearly as funny as it ought to be.

oh the horror.

Quote

Buck up boyo, you're Anne Robinson!

When you're not offending the Welsh or stupid Americans on the dumbed-down transatlantic version of your hate-filled, lowest common denominator gameshow, you're being mean to people and pulling the legs off injured animals. We've seen you.

Frankly, all this anger would be best directed towards evil corporations, which you did for a while at the helm of the BBC's Watchdog programme - the only show infinitely better with you on it. As it is, you've suddenly become a multi-million-dollar institution, spawning clones in hundreds of countries, presumably all winking in that terrifying "I look cuddly now, but I can hurt you. Oh yes, I can hurt you bad" way.

Maybe you're ultra-famous, but you'll always be a B-list celebrity in our eyes. At least you're not writing for the Daily Mail any more.

I'd really have prefered to get a celebretry the same sex as myself.

Just found this the other day.  Haven't looked at the Zod stuff yet, but Bilbo's answering machine is well worth the download.
