The Sarah Michelle Gellar Fan Page -- Monday, August 23, 1999
When interviewed for a cheesecake $5 scholastic book entitled "Sarah Michelle Gellar", TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer listed this as her favorite website....Vanity has a name, and it's Buffy Summers.
Bon Appetit. -Short Round
Miscellaneous Updates -- Monday, August 23, 1999
• I redid the fonts for the page. Are they still readable?
• I finally checked out the MGM Grand. My brother couldn't get in, so to hell with it. All those slot machines don't do it for me anyway. I mean, Soaring Eagle has a game room, and some of those places in Vegas and Atlantic City have, like, BIG GAME ROOMS and Star Trek and shxt.
• Speaking of which, I head off for two weeks in California, Vega$, and the desert, in not a whole lot more than three days. So updates will be sparse between this Thursday and mid-September, because I won't have web access often, unless they build a cybercafe at Burning Man.
This page is so sad it makes me cry. -- Monday, August 23, 1999
This girl used to know Tiffany Brissette, the actress who played the robot girl on that 80s kid-com "Small Wonder."
(Yeah, I called it a kid-com. Watch it and listen to the laugh-tracks: the high-pitched, shrieky laughs of KIDS.)
But, sadly, our host lost track of Tiffany Brissette right around the time everyone else lost track of Tiffany Brissette. Last time I saw her was when she played Shelley's friend in one episode of Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
(Yeah, I called it by its first name; I know they dropped the "can't lose" when they sold out. As Redman once said, "I don't care.")
Old Man Murray beta tests new M$ Online RPG -- Monday, August 23, 1999
(It would be way too obvious to try to fight monsters and gather treasure...)
"I ask Zygag for a hug. It takes some coaxing, but he eventually and reluctantly agrees. It is a happy moment: arm and arm with my best male friend watching the sun rise over our new virtual world."
Hardcore Championship Wrestling (Baltimore) -- Monday, August 23, 1999
There are few web pages more entertaining than those created to capture the drama and excitement of two people with no lawyers, publicists, or health insurance smacking the crap out of each other. And the only kind that is more entertaining than two grown men whooping on each other...
Texas Backyard Wrestling -- Monday, August 23, 1999
...is when it's, like, twelve-year-old boys doing it.
The Unofficial Jack Chick Archive: The Next Generation -- Sunday, August 22, 1999
"The Unofficial Jack Chick Archive" was one of the very first things I found on the web, back when Netscape 1.1 was the state of the art. Work on the site died down after the gonzoid comic-tract illustrator set up his own website at chick dot com, but the site is scheduled to relaunch any month now at the above address.
ZD News finds the Oldest Working PC --
A MITS Altair used to print legal documents.
Thanks to Mr. J.S. Tyre of the Censorware Project for the link, but I actually have
the computer beat by a couple of years. :)
Howard Cooper Import Center --
My car is there, even as we speak. They are fixing the AC, and
doing the periodic maintenance. I can hardly wait to pick it
up; it'll be almost like driving a new car! We'll be going
to Cedar Point on Monday.
The Many Faces of Kool Keith --
Doctor Octagon, Dr. Dooom, Robbie Analog (whom I thought was
simply a throwaway sight gag on the back of the last CD, but
is apparently an upcoming album with ICE T)... the list goes
on and on. I don't know which one of these guys was the one
who said "Smack My $@$%&# Up," though.
Badge Brigade -- Friday, August 20, 1999
I'm supposed to be at home right now, working on a top-secret button design, so I can send it to him and he can make my buttons and I can get them in time to scoot for Burning Man. I'm not supposed to be working on this. I was off work almost two hours ago. I am a dolt. It's Miller time.
Oh yeah, the link: it's a cool pin factory. In the interest of full disclosure, I work with the Badge Brigadier General, although not at the Badge armory.
Cartoon Animals Cussing, Scrawled on Post-It Notes -- Friday, August 20, 1999
Always a riot. I have shrunk these down to use with my instant-messaging system at work, where they often serve as the most appropriate rejoinder.
My Car Has A Webpage. -- Friday, August 20, 1999
I registered my car with the A4 owners' website. This is a fine website, if you happen to own an A4. It explains all kinds of stuff that isn't in the owners' manual. If you don't own an A4, there's probably a darn fine website out there for you, too. Go ahead, search!
Gerard Depardieu -- Wednesday, August 18, 1999
You have to admire him. He's got that craggy face, that `prodigious bronze gut,' and yet he's still a sex symbol. At least, in France. Would that my gut were so prodigious, yet my confidence so great!
A Seanbaby Story -- Wednesday, August 18, 1999
A few weeks ago, I was bored and a little down and I needed a change. I had always admired Leah's hair color; a deep, dark-yet-radiant plum. She happened to be doing her hair one day, and I'd flirted with the idea of doing my hair that same color. She wanted me to do it so we'd look like brother and sister! I wasn't so sure; I thought maybe the color wasn't manly enough. Then I thought about Seanbaby, and how he dyes his hair all these shades of pink, and stuff, and he's got a woman. Not to mention all that attention from that Lis chick, and those women on his babes page...
A couple of hours later I was a dark-yet-radiant plum. I was borderline-disapponted when the color faded ater a few days to a much more tasteful burgundy. I might get Leah to do my hair again before I leave for Burning Man.
Mister Bad on Burning Man Regulations -- Tuesday, August 17, 1999
Less than two weeks now until the festivities begin! But leave your camera at home. And don't go near the hot springs. And... and...
With apologies to Candi Strecker, I'm certain the "self-amusing personalities" on the playa this year will figure out ways to incorporate the rules into the "art."
Another Free Hosting Site Enters the Fracas -- Tuesday, August 17, 1999
So I was typing "freewebhosting.com" tonight and it redirected here. 25MB, "unlimited" traffic and updates, and, most significantly, e-mail forwarding coming soon, which is something you don't see much! At least, not yet. Not for free.
I wouldn't feel comfortable right now without giving my shadowy benefactor and his hosting service their own shoutouts. Andrew's never asked for any money or anything, and he wrote this excellent little set of scripts that lets me change this design whenever I please. Yay, Andrew! Woo hoo!
"Content," As Precious as Gold -- Tuesday, August 17, 1999
In the archives, find Comprehensive Coverage of the Detroit Grand Prix, the MGMoney Pit, rowing, "rowing," and rioting. (Well, as "comprehensive" as a link or two and a few smart-ass lines gets.) Plus, Miss Maggie's birthday, every known phobia defined, and Pop Will Eat Itself!
Every time this link is visited, an angel gets her wings, and is subsequently chased by that anime-freak Drew.
