E-Mails from an Asshole

e-mails from an asshole

Have you ever placed an ad on Craigslist or Freecycle and a got an odd reply?  Or a seemingly normal inquiry that then turned into an odd, stalker type situation? 

E-Mails from an Asshole is a site dedicated to freaking people out.  The guy takes normal looking ads and replies to them in, well - an asshole kinda way.  Sort of hard to explain, but terribly funny to read!  Some people will exchange emails with this guy for a quite awhile, before they lose their cool, some think they must be misunderstanding him, some just freak right out, LOL.  It's not polite, it's not nice but it is damned funny. 

You *will* enjoy reading these exchanges.... and I bet you will be much more careful, next time you post or reply to an ad!  Go see!

Eternal Moonwalk

Do you still miss Michael Jackson and his moonwalking ways?  We do.  Eternal Moonwalk is a site that lets us remember the good.  Beginning with MJ himself, Eternal Moonwalk loops together clips from all over the world of everyone doing - ready for it? - MJ's Moonwalk!

That's it. It is surprisingly fun to watch everyone from little kids to grandmas trying to master the moonwalk, it sucks you right in an you'll look up an hour later to find you've totally missed Ugly Betty or whatever show you were just killing time waiting for!  Not that we'd watch Ugly Betty... not us.

Eternal Moonwalk is fun and mindless, it reminds us that no matter what MJ was accused of in his lifetime, he was still The King of Pop and the only one who could really moonwalk looking natural, and so we love it and we're thrilled someone came up with this great idea!  Got a problem with that, Betty?

Internet Archive Wayback Machine

The Internet Archive was founded back in 1996 to build an internet 'library' of digital media. There are over 150 billion web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago.  What this means is, you go on over to their site Internet Archive: Wayback Machine, you type in a net address (such as http://www.blogger.com), hit the 'take me back' button and you get a list of all the previous pages stored at the internet archive, by date, by month, by year! 

You can see what pages looked like when the first started and the progessive changes, year to year, for any site (exclusions apply; see the faqs for details). One of the faqs suggest checking out 1999 pages and all the Y2K hype that was out there then.  It's really rather amazing! 

Web crawlers make this page possible.  Isn't technology grand?

People of Walmart!

The 'People of Walmart' site is not nice.  It's not supposed to be.  They make fun of others and we all know our mother would not approve.  But.... it is funny!  It'll make you feel less self-conscious the next time you run in 'just for milk' even though your hair is ratty and the sweats you're wearing haven't been washed this week....


'People of Walmart' is a 'make fun of all the strange people who shop at Walmart' kinda site.  It will not help us find world peace or a solution to global warming.  But it is a good way to kill time while you're waiting on the boss to come back from lunch or while half-listening in on that next conference call.  People really do dress funny shopping at Walmart, don't they?  Let us know if you spot a relative in there.  New pics are posted daily!

Etsy.... and Regretsy

Have you seen the fabulousness that is Etsy yet? This site was opened as a showcase for handmade items and crafts.  Like Ebay, only better (at least when it comes to individual, handmade items).  If we had lots more money, we'd do all our Christmas shopping there!  Alas, we are poor.  But check the site out, it truly is a breathtaking and refreshing shopping experience.  You'll love it!

And... as all really good sites do, Etsy also has it's own 'make fun of Etsy' page, dedicated to highlighting the bizzare and unusual offerings you might miss if you aren't careful.  Regretsy links you to many of the oddest things I've ever seen.  Birthin' dolls, uterus pillows, keychain lady bits.... ummm, yeah.  Really.  You'll want to bookmark this one, as it is always updating with new and even stranger offerings.

Regretsy... Handmade?  It looks like you made it with your feet!
