Corporations, POWER TO THE PEOPLE! (The wacky, scary people.)
The
web should not be about rich pig-dogs and IPOs and "leveraging"
and all that soulless clap-trap. It is, and should be, a sprawling
map of the odd bends of human consciousness, from the ridiculous
to the very sublime-all exchanged freely. We've tried to compile
a bunch of stuff from either category (and those that overlap into
both) as a sampler "pu pu platter" of web-fun from other
sites. Submit a site for
entry! |

STRANGE
DAYS INDEED
The FORTEAN TIMES is a magazine which chronicles
the odd, the unexplained, and the things that make you go hmmmmn.
From Ectoplasm to Bigfoot, to MAGNOLIA-style frogstorms, these folk
have their finger on the pulse of the big question marks of life.
Some of it may be crap and hoaxes, but some of it makes you wonder.

THE
MANY FACES OF ERIC
A particularly peculiar form of web-interaction.
Eric makes emotive faces, and posts them on his site. You, the reader,
suggest the moods these faces should convey. And he, for his part,
makes with the emotion. This kid's the next Bobby DeNiro.

WHAT
IS THIS, WONKA? A FREAK OUT?
The web is chock full of sites that are weird for
the sake of being weird. This one makes them look as normal as Ward
Cleaver enjoying a Sunday drive to church. SCRUMPDILLYISHUS LAND is
so freaky, and so painstakingly and expertly constructed, that it
hurts your head.Be sure to play the "mouse-over-music-machine"
by moving the cursor over different areas of the pages title. Drugs
are not required to enjoy this site, but I'd imagine they'd probably
help.

VIOLATE
THE PRIME DIRECTIVE
OK, so making fun of Shatner is about as original
as stand-up comedians explaining that men and women shop differently.
Still in all, this odd little web-doo-hickey is good, clean, geeky
fun. Use the bottom bar of different colored lights to make Shatner
deliver a host of Kirk-style commands. Mix and match for nerd-flavored
fun.

VIVA
LE MEGO!
The MEGO company dominated the 70s action figure
market. Their unique style of plastic, super-posable figures wearing
real-cloth clothing was used to bring characters from both DC and
MARVEL into three dimensions.. But were they satsified with cornering
the comics market? OH NO. These folk brought us STARSKY AND HUTCH
figures. SPACE:1999. (What kid didn't want their very own 9 inch Martin
Landeau?). And, for sissies and creeps, they saw fit to make sure
THE WALTONS were available to play with. Visit the truly impressive
MEGO MUSEUM site.

THE
MOVIE THAT WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE A MAN CAN FLY... I MEAN "HATE".
You thrilled to his wacky antics as he led groups
of demonstrators at the funeral of Matthew Shepard with signs saying
"GOD HATES FAGS" and "HELL HAS MATTHEW NOW!" You
giggled with girlish delight as his sons came forward and told the
world about the brutal beatings he inflicted upon them in their youth,
slamming them with pick-axe handles until they passed out! But now,
the wonder and magic of Rev. Fred Phelps, the visionary behind www.godhatesfags.com,
is FINALLY getting the motion picture treatment it deserves. I mean,
if a godless little diaper-wearer like Ghandi can get his own flick,
why not FRED? Warning:This link MAY make you lose faith in the
essential worthiness of the human species..

WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN YOU SQUEEZE WONDER WOMAN'S LEGS?
My all time favorite action figure line was the
KENNER SUPER POWERS DC HEROES set. What twisted, unfair world do we
exist within, where I can make such a statement, and yet be blissfully
wed to a beautiful woman? I swear, if there were any justice, my "I
have the right to kiss a girl" card should have been revoked
a long while ago. Anyway, this site has a crazily extensive amount
of info and pictures of all the toys, and the stories behind their
creation and distribution.

HE
WHO DOES NOT LOVE BIG BOY HAS NO LIGHT IN THEM
Big Boy is the symbol of all that is right and
good. He is a giver of life, and lover of children. And now, he can
help you save your money! Grin with impish delight as your coins make
their way into his colorful plastic innards. Buy him, won't you, and
let a little piece of goodness into your life.
