Vistars Weird Site of The Day. Archive #3

Archive #3 of the best sites of the week.

These are the third oldest (next) archived sites of the week, when it all began back in August of 1996.

With the internet ever changing, moving and growing, sites can appear and leave in a very short time. The RIP symbol means they either moved away from home and left no forwarding address, were abducted by aliens or are resting in peace. The decision to keep these in the archives is important. These are historic sites.

L-A-Tex First we did balloon hats, then used leather shorts, now inflated fashions (and we're not talking about price hikes :) Do you see a pattern? My question is "How do they sew the patterns together so they don't leak?" BTW.. this is a perfectly safe though very strange site :)

Thanks, Eric. Good contribution!
Virtual Lederhosen Diese Site wird der Studie der verwendeten ledernen Kurzschlüsse eingesetzt. Sehr merkwürdig in der Tat. Ich hatte Spaß auf Deutsch, vorstellend, wem alle diese Kurzschlüsse, weil einige also beschmutzt waren, ich sich wunderte gerade besaß. Sie wissen. :) This site is dedicated to the study of used leather shorts. Very strange indeed. I was having fun in German imagining who all these shorts belonged to and, well some were so soiled, I just wondered, you know. Then I found the icon for English language, and it became perfectly clear. Not really.

Danke soviel, Kai. Wo in der welt fanden sie diesen standort? Tragen sie diese sachen, auch?
Balloon Hat Photos Those of you who know me, know I learned to do balloon sculpture years ago in a bar in Montana. It's been something I have even done in nightclubs... a little poodle is more welcomed than a dollar in the garter belt :) This site is just plan fun, and such an original project :)
To Snarg Sybil writes, "I love this new art form. Just let it run about 30 minutes. Makes me wanna do acid, heh" And when I looked at it... my word, what the Hell is it? Thank you,

Sybil. I think there may be enough here for all of you. Love ya, Babe :)
Catholic School Girl Dolls And nun dolls too. I wish I knew who sent this nomination. (So please write and claim it :) Maybe it was the fact that this was pre-morning coffee on a Monday, but when I opened it, I was startled. This is pretty durn weird. Ah, hah! The site is claimed by Mary RC (Recoverin' Catholic). I think that one is good for 6 Hail Mary's and an Our Father :)
Midi Karaoke! Long before there was Karaoke, there were zillions of piano bars. I'm terribly sorry, but this site brings back memories of leisure suits gathered around Clyde at the piano bar stuffing singles into his brandy snifter requesting sing alongs like "Louie Louie". (Still laughing over this one, folks. It's a rare find :)
2.0.1.3. DisInfo Wow! Far out! A studio filled with freaks takes a shot at creating a Web page to prepare us for the new Millennium. Heavy stuff, man. Big on the psychedelic graphics.
B-Movie ReviewsIt's raining. It's pouring. The old man is snoring. So, kiddies, let's go rent a video. Now which one to choose? Who ever heard of "Vampire's Seduction?" B-Movie Reviews has. Now you'll know what's worth watching and what's only good for licking the picture on the tape box.
Roswell Rods There are a lot of things I'm familiar with in Roswell... Hondo Oil (Robert O. Anderson's baby), there were rumors that aliens once landed in this wide patch of desert, and Carlsbad Cavern is close by and has tons of bats, but Roswell Rods came as a real surprise. They look more like flying leeches than bats. Probably just more fun with Photoshop.
Natl. Mustache Month I've never called a mustache a "flavor saver", but it makes sense remembering "Got Milk". Anyway, this site is a real lip tickler. (Being really nice here, biting lip to keep this PG.)
Ladies in Leg Casts Ever wonder about the guys you see hanging around ski lodges carrying Magic Markers? I promised Barb I'd put this up a long time ago, but-but-but, well, you know the rest. I got distracted :) Anyway, for all those looking for the ultimate bondage fetish, here ya go :)
The Boy with Immovable Hair Back now, and did you notice Fred, the guy up there in the straitjacket, got a nifty haircut? In honor of that, here's a very strange site from an AOL user with too much time on his hands. (Note the friendly jab at AOL users :)
C-Spam News Service If your e-mail In Box looks like mine, half the messages are bogus sweepstakes, MLM pitches, pleas for e-mail for geography classes, phoney virus warnings and countless other spam mailings. Now, you don't need to take time to read these intrusions. This handy site reviews spam and posts the most critical ones as a "ticker-like" scroll.
The Kama Sutra of Pooh Oh boy, this one is about as weird as it gets. My little Pooh bear can do little more than put its paws over its head. It is very old and stiff. But, this little Pooh is extremely limber.

Jaye, this site is in such poor taste, I love it :)
Amazing Noodlebox Should be called "Doodlebox" but whatever you call it, it's more fun with Shockwave. And I think I'll save my take-out Dim Sung cartons until I have enough to build a village (ewww, talk about roach motels!)

Hey, thanks, reggiT.
Confess Your Sins Here's a chance to unload all your troubles, release a burden, tell the most outrageous tales in secret. (Yep, right. It's a secret. Just ask anybody.) Darned if I'd be telling anything really embarassing here. This is more like telling it all in a room filled with the global population.

Thanks to Wally Glenn, Mayor of Planet Wally.
Toilet Tea Leaves Knowing the tastes of many of the people who regularly read this list, this is going to be a very popular site addition. Mystic Mistress Cohleana has found a successful way to read umm well bowel movements to predict the future. Honestly, I haven't even looked at the sample reading. I'm one to close the lid quickly and flush without peeking.

Violet, this is truly inspirational :)
All-nude Teen Stick Figures Yes, only here would you find a link so bold as to take you to one of the most provocative sites on the Net. You'll see FREE the hottest stick figure teens, all in full-color. (laughing) Now the Weird Site page will be spotted by Net Nanny and the traffic count will drop to less than 10 hits a day. Ah, gee :)

Nice gift Charity. This is another great one :)
Men in Kilts "Ah, it's a nice breezy day we've got hur, McTavert. Hope yuv got yur drawers un." This one is especially for Spingtime when the lads and lassies are takin' to looking up each other's skirts.

Thanks, Callie. Good looking (if your bagpipes happen to point that way.)
City of the Silent Hmmmm. I thought taphophiles were folks with a love for holes, but in fact, they love cemeteries... enough to offer postcards from the grave, helpful hints for thombstone rubbings and dozens of other gray topics. I must admit that some of the marble sculptures I saw at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California were spectacular pieces of art.
Age Gauge A simple script to show you that you're older than some, yet younger than others.

Thanks Sue. I always knew I was too old to be a Trekkie :)
P.A.W. If you were grossed out by Saving Private Ryan or cried during Old Yeller, don't even think about visiting this site. No pictures are required. Where or where has my little dog gone? And why couldn't they serve weiner dog instead of a Black Lab? (I happen to love Black Labs... NO! Not *that* way!)

Oh brother, Amy. You weren't kidding. He *is* serious. And we're talking about Beagle bites.
The Force Is A DemonThis is amazing. I guess we could fill the page with "-fill in the blank- is Satan" and this page is a great example of Satan is everywhere thinking. I actually hope this is done tongue-in-cheek because the folks who did this just can't be serious. As a gag, it's really fun, but if it's for real, I worry about the world ending at Y2K.

Thank you Shadow. This is a great contribution. Thanks for visiting and may the force be with you :)
Sock Monkeys Can Solve Y2K Problem Oh, why not! Let's throw a few daggers at the IT community. The solution to Y2K was sure not going to be found in any IT department. And these sock monkeys look pretty bright and responsive to me. Plus, they speak in a language I can understand. In fact, management can understand a sock monkey. So, please support the proposed project funding.

Thank you, Echo. Good thoughts for a Spring day :)
Hidden Mickeys Okay, enough already with the dancing hamsters! Sorry, folks. I had a personal matter to attend to and wasn't able to keep up here. But, now, I'm back -ha ha :) So, for all you Springbreakers, fresh home from Disneyland or Disneyworld, here's important stuff you may have missed.

Thanks, Brian. I could have missed this too and never would have forgiven myself. (NOT!)
HamsterDance As if the site below wasn't silly enough, this one takes silly to new extremes. This site also seems to have a strong cult following. Some people say it is the music, while others say it is the repetitive graphics. I think it's completely without merit, but what do I know. Hey, I just anoint the sites and review them.
Okay, let's line em up and thank everyone all at once for the many hamsterdance nominations, but special thanks to Pat who was first to recommend this extremely strange site.
Teletubbies Death Chamber Okay, let's go back in time. First there was Clarabelle the Clown, then Capt. Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers, Bert & Ernie, Barney, and now the Teletubbies. How is it that mindless children's programs inspire such violence in adults? It may be professional jealousy. Why didn't we think of these simple characters and become trillionaires :)

Nice gift Charity :) Thanks.
The Unhappy Nun This nun is very unhappy. And this site is downright weird. Leave it to the Brits to think of stuff like this. It *is* a tad off center for certain.

Thank you kindly, Peter. This is a fun one for all ages.
Irish Food Fights Actually it was more like a 6-year long riot throughout Ireland between 1845 and 1851. Some kind of nasty potato blight wiped out the major food source. The etchings and illustrations shown here are moving, and no doubt helped move thousands of Irish people to Boston. -Hey, every now and then this site can be educational, right? :)
Dog-O-Matic kiosk Dog-O-Matic kiosk = (according to the co-authors) A small site offering instant dogma. Well, I must say, the content makes you sit up and take notice. Pretty deep thoughts here. May take some studying of the residue in the bottom of your espresso cup to figure this stuff out. Deep indeed. Very deep.
Billy the Dead Boy Gentle readers, there was once a time when I feared this list was contributing to the creation of weird and sick sites on the Web. But, now I know they are spawning from seeds and growing without outside help. This particular site is an example of one I thought was pure fertilizer, so I called the Philadelphia Mitchum/Wilson Funeral Home (215) 463-8140 and they really did it. No reason known by the operator.

Wow! Elliott! You da man! This find is a rare treasure.
Bumper Dumper This is what is known in the trade as a novelty item. It's the perfect gift for the deerhunter who has everything (including the trots). And the merchandising is so well done, if the Bumper Dumper it is not real, then I'm stealing this great idea.

Good work Charity :)
Vampyres(sic)'R US On the day of my official divorce, this site was a no-brainer. No, not in honor of my X, but rather in jest at her lawyer.

This is the start of Lindsey's run. There will be many. many more Lindsey sites.
Some Vocal Artist I haven't Heard Of Okay this is for Alanis Morissette or something like that. Whoever she is, she looks like a young Morticia from the Adamm's Family. Anyway, she will help you become a lyricist.

Thanks, Callie. Fun stuff for the weekend.
The Big Toe That Could Predict Earthquakes This is like a no brainer, yet it caused all kinds of discussion. Half thought any big toe could predict at least a tremor. I mean, REALLY you can feel it can't you? The other half said, "No, no, no." "It is the bunion that predicts the earthquake, not the toe."

Wow! What a bunch of hair splitters. Nice job Charity. You can work here any time. You sure found some real unusual ones. We know they will be enjoyed :)
Buy Property on Mars Wow! Talk about a far out property offer. Earlier in this site we help sell an entire town in Florida, but this is way beyond anything we imagined. If Millennium madness really strikes, this could be the ultimate safe haven :)

MrBlue, you rewl! :)
Jobs That Suck I think most everyone has at least one friend who REALLY hates their job. After a while it becomes hard not to say, "So why don't you quit and find a new one?" Here's a handy list of real "dream" jobs :)

Thanks Teresa. Well done.
Battle of Bobbit Hillbillies I wish I could remember who sent in this nomination. (laughing) Mainly, because I'd like someone else to be blamed for finding it. This is truly below-the-belt humor :)
Lipstick Librarian I'm not exactly sure what this one is about. I assume it is a real librarian who carries a Compaq and haunts the stacks. But it's new and different and isn't that what we all want?
Furby Autopsy First a couple weeks ago we hear that the CIA won't let cute little Furbies in their HQ building. Hey! Are they afraid some cute little critter will snatch a national secret? Well it's too late 'cause here's what's inside one and believe me, they come already loaded with secret stuff.

Okay, okay... split credits on this one. Max credits to Bill from MonsterVision Chat and back-up credits to LowPriestess who reminds Bill about all kinds of stuff :)
Snarg This is one of the classiest weird sites you will ever see. It takes a while to get into the mindset, then look out! This has the potential to be a real time killer. Maybe even an online screensaver. Oh, aren't the ISP's gonna love this ;)

This is very, very neat reggiT. And yes, you get the credit for finding it even though Conrad came up with it :)
The Real Hamster Just who is fooling whom? Hey, I know a real hamster when I see one. A little hip action a nose wiggle and it's all over. This site has an unreal hamster obviously endowed with the aid of a cocktail frank.

This was neat, Peter. Thank you so much.
Stuff the Warning Label Said Not to Do The weather this month is so bad in many parts of the United States and Canada that there's just not a whole hellava lot you can do. So here are some cool household projects to keep you occupied until the Spring thaw (assuming you still have a roof over your head and walls to hold it up). Hey, thanks Conrad. I needed that jump start to get the new year of weirdness underway.
The Spirit of Christmas Join Eric Cartman and his friends in Southpark as they celebrate Christmas 1987 in their own special way. If you are not familiar with Southpark, this will floor you. It's as weird as it gets :)
The Straitjacket Floats Stumped about what to send your sister for the Holidays? This could be your answer. Fashionable canvaswear for every dress up occasion :)
Mommy's Darling After doing Women with Beards, we received an equal time request. If we showed fems with facial hair, it would only be fair to show men dressed as woman. But, that's old hat, so how about men dressed as little girls? I tell you, there are things you wish you never knew about on the Net :)

Good work, Mark. We won't ask for your stage name.
Abduct a Human This one is plenty strange. Have you been abducted? (Click Here) Wanting to abduct? (Click Here) Like to view case files? (Click Here) It's very contrived. I tell you the UFO stuff is all weather balloons and tin foil.

Ummm, thanks DEHUD. (Question: Is your nick a Southern way of saying "Dead"? Woo!)
Women with Beards What can I say? I am old. It took me years to become comfortable seeing women wearing combat boots with skirts and even longer to accept tattoos on the distaff. Now fashion models are sporting beards? I can't wait to see what will be next :)

Nice, Mumbai. Very nice.
Women Who Pee Standing Up Gosh, what more needs to be said? This is a How To guide to bring comfort to about half the world population and an end to those long, long bathroom lines. I must admit this is an amazing site (in all ways).

Thanks, Mumbai. You get credit for tomorrow's site too :)
Spinning Dog Hair This site is dedicated to Bubba. Although his hair is much too greasy to make a usable sweater, he's a good dog and very loyal to his mistress.

Thanks again reggiT. Great concept of limited commercial value :)
Official RPS Strategy The official Rock Paper Scissors strategy guide. This is for the truly BORED and those stuck with family they'd rather be hiding from than sharing turkey. (Start RPS about the time the war stories begin.)

Thanks Susan. It's a winner as usual :)
Yossie's Handcuffs I have a friend known as Evol who has a thing about handcuffs, so this site is dedicated to her and all the people who seem to be tied up every time you try to get them on the phone.

Thank you, Mark. Nice job.
Tripp/Lewinsky Tapes Dang it! Enough already! We have a backlog of maybe 20 terrific weird sites to get up, and then something like this comes out. Okay, let's be voyeurs, listen to the tapes then get on to the REALLY weird stuff :)
Y2K Panic Holy cow! Sure I knew about Y2K trouble in computers, but I just got an email from a woman with the Red Cross (turns out, she was a newspaper reporter) wanting to know if our community association had a Y2K plan. She's talking about storing food, water and blankets for a dark January. Folks, you can't believe the number of Y2K Panic websites out there. It will keep us entertained until 00. Wow! I should hurry and buy shotgun shells before they run out.
New Kinda Happy Meal Well, faithful readers of the Weird, this gem of a site will not be up for long. You can bet on that. So enjoy while you can. (And for goodness sake, wipe the grin off your mouth :)

Yes! Callie. Excellent work :)
Matchstick Rockets With trouble brewing in the Mideast, thoughts of SCUD attacks come to mind. So, don't just observe, particpate. Here's a helpful guide to building your own unguided missles.

Hey, Enigma. Nice work. And kids, do not do this indoors or anywhere near dry brush. Remember, matches start fires that can be dangerous to your health.
Spooky Stuff Happy Halloween! To all our readers, have a happy and safe evening. And remember, when you read the ingredients in your PayDay candy bar, it was much safer when it just contained pins and razor blades.

Thanks Jaden, and Happy Halloween to you too. I hope your travels go well.
Demotivation Suppose instead of "The Impossible Just Takes a Little Longer," the U. S. Marines said, "The Impossible is Just Plain Impossible." What fun! Total demotivation, and now available in poster form.

Thanks, reggiT. Great work again :)
Soldiers of Fashion Conrad writes, "I think this is probably the only supermodel page on the Web with a link to the US Army Dental Corps. I also think that someone has been huffing Noxzema." We agree and can smell the Noxzema from way over here.

Thanks, Conrad.
Mr. Methane Woo! Just in time for the weekend, top drawer entertainment from the UK. This unique performer is considered to be the next "Elvis" of the United Kingdom. His stage shows lay them out in the aisles gasping for breath. It's a great website too. So eat your beans kiddies and maybe someday you can grow up to become the next, Mr. Methane.
Really NOT Important Survey This promised to maybe question the meaning of life. No such luck. It does show that 20 questions are about 10 too many to put on a website. And next time people, please include the most important question. Okay? :)
Shipping Semen Next time you need to ship a sailor here's the proper handling technique. (Oh, not *that* kind of seaman.) Well then that's an entirely different kind of handling. (blush)

Many thanks and a warm hand shake for Frantisek Fuka (Yes, that IS his real name).
Grim Rides Funeral Car Club Folks, this one is way out there approaching maximum weird. But, heck, it's also almost Halloween in the U.S.. Time for all the graveyard humor to come crawling out.
Tour de Butt A very strange panorama. Lots of landscapes. There are some buttes... some butts too.

reggiT comes through again, but we're becoming worried about where he hangs out.
Tickle Me Elvis Elvis had a tickling fetish. Being tied up, bound and tickled brought The King great excitment. So now bring pleasure to his soul by going in here and tickling the Hell out of him.

Gracias tanto, Paco. Usted tiene un buen ojo para encontrar el inusual.
Lip Balm Anonymous Cool, windy days, Fall sun and heavy dust work together to make the leaves turn colors. It also contributes to rough, hard, chapped lips. Here's the perfect balm. (And before you say a word, I *know*, this is one of the really old ones. But the address changed, so it counts as a new one for us.)
Blind Date Being a good Yenta with this spiffy site you should be doing. Married you should be too. Gracias Paco por encontrar esta paginación fabulosa para nuestro disfrute.
The Love Ewe Stop me if you've seen this before. (Oh shoot. You and I both knew I would at some point forget which sites have been posted before.) This one looks very familiar. Perhaps it is because a Love Ewe resides in my closet? Ya think? Thank you so much

Celeste. I know you are offended by this. Fishnets look so tacky on a grown up sheep.
Digital Pet Funeral Home Most all of us know someone with a long neglected virtual pet. Some of them died of starvation, others were overwhelmed by dirty newspaper, but all need a decent burial. Here's where you can toss your little buddy a final electronic bone.

Thanks Peter. This is a really cool weird site.
Ape Culture There was going to be just one section featured from this site, but we couldn't decide which was best. The pages are all different and very weird :) and, YES, we do realize Clinton is a VERY HARD act to follow, so we felt having an arsenal of strange and fun stuff would be the only way to make you FORGET BILL CLINTON.
Clinton Scandals I had a feeling there would be a ton of dirt on our First Guy. Yep, more than you'd care to roll in. It's all here folks. Feast your eyes. Then let's drop it and push government to get back to work. (If that's possible.)
A Daily Doodie As we grow older, one of the most pleasurable experiences of the day is a nice doodie. This site captures the spirit of the moment with clever daily animations. Hmmm. Time to hand Peter another roll of "Blot Don't Rub" Bronco Brand Paper. In the UK do they call this lav humour?
10K4aWife This one is perfect. No, I don't think this man is desperate or crazy, but simply using the power of the Net to make a connection. Will it work? I dunno, even for $10K I wouldn't marry this guy. I wonder if Hunter Tylo will respond?

Wow! Good sleuthing Mark. Thanks for your suggestion.
Autopsy Gosh, this is so interesting. Like I always wanted to know about how to perform an autopsy? Not! I know this is done by a doctor for public education, but come on, this is really soliciting. Note the offer to perform an autopsy for you. Next, we'll see bargain autopsies advertised on TV.

Way to go Brett. You are a provider of the highest quality weird sites. Thanks so much.
Sony X-Ray HandyCam I didn't know that. Did you know that? How did he know that? All done with a little screw-on filter and the now-recalled, night setting. A new definition for Red Eye. (Please excuse the Japanese.. all the English sites have magically disappeared.)

Wow! Thanks again to reggiT. One more and you get some kinda weird prize.
Save Mr. Toad I know this is totally nuts, but of all the attractions at DisneyWorld, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (and it really isn't very wild) is one of my favorites. Maybe it's because of my early fascination with Mr. Toad's "thumb your toad nose" attitude towards the conventional and acceptable. Who knows? Can I count on your help to save this little guy from extinction in Orlando? Time is running out. The hangman's noose is tightening, so please let your voice be heard.
Kiss the Guy Now, returning to the "G" rating sites. This page deals with misunderstood song lyrics. For years I thought Iron Butterfly was singing, "In the Garden of Eden, Baby." You know, stuff like that. Officially, this common hearing disorder is called a Mondegreen. Jeez, like it matters. If I mishear the words in a song and it makes sense, how would I know it's a Mondegreen? Thanks Sue. As you some of you may know, I am King of the Mondegreens. Heck, I even mishear song titles and artists' names. (Yes, Virginia, there is no Conway Tittie.)
Michelle's SPT Page Way back when there were no emission controls, there was an oil additive called STP. No one had any idea what STP stood for. Now we know it stands for Stupid Penis Tricks.. whoops.. that would be SPT.. Darn! Well, that's the cutest way I can intro this most humorous page, so we'll let the error stand. I am secure in my guyness and can take the ridicule :)

Kat, this is all your doing. You made this happen. If anyone is offended, don't blame me.
Sex Quotes This is not a collection of whispers made under the covers, but rather a merger of Wall Street and the powerful sex industry. Maybe. Conrad suspects it's a hoax. We'll find out with the rest of the online world on 4 September.

Kudos to Conrad. BTW, Conrad, how did you come upon this? What exactly were you searching for?
Cat Scan One of the funniest sites I've ever seen. Here I was all set for medical stuff and Wow! I wonder if they can make images of rabbits and gerbils the same way? Now take a deep breath and hold real still. Click!

Many, many thanks to reggiT for spotting this one.
CyberBabies The ultimate newbies' page. Fresh from the oven, kids of all sizes, shapes, colors and hairstyles. Check out the parents' names and lack of parental names.

Thanks to Kat for the inspiration.
Dempster Dumpster Diving Very few people know that a dumpster is not just a dumpster. It's a Dempster Dumpster, originally invented by the Davidson Company (now defunct) of Knoxville, Tennessee. As the story goes, an enterprising young Davidson employee by the name of George Dempster made off with the dumpster plans to begin his own business. Now his name is more famous than the inventor's. But they both got rich sharing the royalties. (There were rumors of a threatened lawsuit and jail time for young George.) And the moral to the story is, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
The NetEnquirer This ain't your mom's supermarket tabloid. The NetEnquirer is spiced up and boiled down to make a tasty online treat. Served fresh each Tuesday.
Today's Fortune When's the last time you got a decent fortune from a cookie? Today, I ate Chinese and got Lotto numbers and a piece of Confucian logic, "Wise men learn more from fools than fools can learn from the wise." Folks, that is NOT a look into the future. So, I went out in search of a good fortune. All I could find was philosophy. I guess this is the way it will be. And that's as good as I can do for a fortune, not with this site or the cookies from the Hard Wok Cafe.
Head Hunting While the U.S. press explores remarkable ties to Wag the Dog, we find the subject of head hunting to be closer to the Clinton-Lewinsky relationship. This factual site provides a lot of history with an Amazon twist.

Thanks Brett. This is a great site.
Monica Cam What could be more timely? Will Monica run to Bill in his hour of need? Watch the action through the webcamera lens on the camera "mounted" outside the Lewinsky legal team offices.
Virtual Dog (*whistle* *whistle*) Come 'er doggy, doggy! Come 'er poochie, poochie! "Hey, man that dog can't hear you it's deaf!" Well heck, want your own dog? One that will come when you call from across the expressway? Then take home a free pooch from the pound at this neat site. Then you can be up to your desktop in poop and newspapers.
Going Places Thirteen Leeds University students use grant funds to stage an exhibition. Sort of :) This is a darn good example for discussion of the question, "What is art?"
Burn! Perfect for a hot summer weekend. While this featured site is "red hot radical", it also contains some remarkable artwork including beautiful posters from the Spanish Civil War.
Heartless Bitches Intl. Here's a first. The site below is so weird, it defies exploration. So just forget it. I can't imagine what I was smoking to put that one up anyway. Instead, check this one out as suggested by Jane (AKA Violet Nitemare). Now, I have one question. If I were gay, and were a real bitch, Honey, could I become a member of the HBI Club?
The Story So Far Least we forget the mission of this list, here's one that's totally out to lunch. Try to make it through the first page because the farther you go, the stranger the story becomes. This is one webmaster you would not want to have buying you a drink, not even in a crowded bar.
Plastic Man No doubt about it, this one is way weird. Here you can sort of sculpt the human body of your dreams. Unfortunately, it will likely look like a nightmare. But very creative none the less.
Talking Points No matter how much time you spend on your computer away from face-2-face human contact, this site will help you begin and maintain real-time discussions. Explore interesting subjects like how to cook Beanie babies (Inside Weeds), Corpse Art (Is It Art?) and Payphone Calling (The Payphone Project). Cover these subjects (you could probably just bring these subjects up) and be assured of making a lasting impression on your date and his/her parental figures.
Madame Guillotine Madame Guillotine provides a new meaning to the term of endurement, "Losing my head over you." She finds these executioners' tools fascinating to the point of obsession. Hey, there could be worse obsessions. (I think? Well, MAYBE :)

Angel, you've done well with this one. I'd nod my head to you, but fear I'd lose it.
Aryan Dating Service This site is so outrageous it is hard to fathom. I particularly like the section on expressing individuality with tattoos. Nice work Paul and Alison. Did you guys meet through this service? Gosh, you even compose sentences well ;)
Narita Photographer Hey, now! I was *not* out getting stoned, only on vacation. And speaking of travel, if you've been to Narita airport in Japan you know there is absolutely nothing to do. It is overcrowded and stuffy and filled with wierdos who do not speak English. So imagine how it would feel if this guy came up and asked to make your photo. Heck, I might be so bored, I'd consider it. (I'd keep my Stetson on of course.)

Thank you so much Tony. Great job and you'll have another thank you coming tomorrow.
Scheherazade Whadda a name! Whadda a website! If you read up in the meta files someplace, it explains that we do recognize high quality, fun sites on ocassion. Okay, the quality part is rather subjective, but this beautiful serving of creativity is funny as Hell too. So it makes the list... big time :)
Easter Egg Archive You may have heard of "Christmas in July", but what about Easter in July? And we couldn't have Easter without an egg hunt. In this site, someone worked overtime to find all the eggs out there and catalog 'em. They are sanitized and not dangerous, and loads of fun.

Hey thanks, Tony. This was a really cool contribution :)
The Bestiary I was searching for "seductive snake" in Altavista and came up with this pure jewel of a web project. Be creative in the site's search engine and you may be treated to 4th Century ideas like, "Lions mate face to face; and not only lions, but lynxes, and camels, and elephants, and rhinoceroses, and tigers." Hmmm. Well I admit, having not seen any of those animals copulate, maybe they are just real limber?.
Cliché Finder I'm not quite certain what this has to do with the price of eggs, but where there's a will, there's a way. So if you happen to need a cliché, here is where you can do a touch and go.
Six Flags Over Disney's Tomb In our family, going to an amusement park on the Fourth of July was almost unheard of. First there were the crowds, and second the cost. So here's a little personal dream come true. Now I can ride a roller coaster all day for free and barf all over myself.
Blair's Baitfarm Having just said in my recorded message, "We shall not dignify commercial pages with a link", I'm going to break the rule here. The subject of running a bait farm is fascinating. My dream of the ideal career would be managing a marina or running a worm farm. Heck, the job titles can't be matched. Harbor Master sounds so offical. And you can imagine how you'd be the envy of all your friends if you were really good at raising bait.
Deathclock Eeep! What a horrid way to begin a new week. Enter your current age, sex, etc., and it will give you a quick look at your demise. Please note that your remaining life may be shortened by commuting, a boss who doesn't smile and by holding firecrackers in the hand after lighting.

Sparkler showers for Tom for another great contribution.
Why AOL Sucks For many cybersurfers, AOL is the life-line to the Internet. But, anyone who has to give away 50 free hours must have something to hide. In this case, it looks like a volume from Encyclopedia Britannica. I have my own AOL complaints, but I'll let you form your own opinion. Muchas gracias Tara. You chaulked up another winner here :)
People Against Foo-Foo Dogs This site is perfect! I cannot stand foo-foo dogs. Give me a muddy old Labrador any old day. How can people do this to animals? Okay, let's change this. I have nothing against poodles (unless they are piddling poodles), but would like to eliminate all people who dress their doggies in lingere.

Many thanks to Jaden who once again came through in my hour of need. It is also dedicated to "Buck, The Wonder Lab" who couldn't stomach foo-foo dogs either.
Mr. Cranky Rates The Movies It's the weekend and the big summer releases are coming out. This cleverly-written page could come in very handy. It could save you the price of admission and a large box of stale popcorn. But, hey, the theater is air conditioned, so how bad can it be?
Arachnophilia: The Game of Love and Death Talk about getting caught up in a web. In this little game you chase your love by her scent over hill and dale. If you catch her, you die. Isn't this just so real :) Hey, these are just make believe spiders, Kat. Don't be scared. (Vistar writes with shaking fingers.)
Bass Band Those of you who have had the pleasure of knowing Vistar, know he's a fishy kind of guy. So you can imagine the surprised look on his twisted face when he saw this site. Leave it to some folks from Oklahoma to think of this.
Buzzword Bingo More of the games people love to play. Use this one to add new life to your next corporate briefing. Never fall asleep again during the CEO's annual state-of-the-industry speech. Compete among departments for prizes. Most of all, have fun. Life's way too short as it is anyway :) Thanks, Susan. This was a great idea!
Tic Tac Toe Jam Try this on "hard." Beat the silly thing a few times until you're real confident. Then challenge your youngest child to a "best out of five" for real money. (Your kids paid me well to suggest this.)
Backmasking I knew what "backmasking" was, but not what it is called. In college, we used to play Beatles albums backwards (a real challenge on a traditional turntable... tough on the drive belts). Now imagine doing it with CD's. Listening to songs backwards would take a huge effort and a good dose of motivation. Can you spell "paranoya?" (Obviously, I can't.)

To Brett: thanks for the tip. God bless you too. This can be scary stuff.
There is Fungus Among Us This crazy place features a "fungus of the month" and hundreds of yummy treats about fungi you could eat. Like "Fungi that Must be Overcome to Survive Thanksgiving." Trust me, you will never buy aged beef after visiting this one.
Church of the Holy Gerbil Here at the Weird Site place, Thursday is our heavy traffic day, so we save the best for now. This very sacred site debunks one of the great Urban Legends. It shows that gerbils can have redeeming qualities too.

There ya go Jaden. There ya go Jaden. There ya go Jaden. There ya go Jaden. Thanks for helping to save an easily-excitable critter species. Happy now? Enough gratuitous links? (Vistar shrugs and mutters something about how impossible it is to please a woman.)
Toonces The Cat Who Could Drive A Car One of the oddest things I remember about the 80's was "Toonces, The Cat Who Could Drive A Car." With a production of value and believability rating of near zero, Toonces charmed Saturday Night Live audiences with his daredevil driving skills. I dunno. I guess cat lovers go for this demolition derby stuff.
The Eighties Server "Don't call me Generation X, call me 'a child of the 80's'." Such hostility! No wonder. If you grew up playing Space Invaders and Pacman on an Atari, you'd be pissed off too.
Conjoined Twins If you follow South Park, you know that the last episode promoted "Conjoined Twins Awareness Week." So we're doing our part to help make this freaky affliction socially acceptable.
A Dead Discussion Here's a strange online discussion on life's favorite no-no topic. Death. So what happens after death? Find out here. I'll give you a hint, it ends with Seinfeld. Irradiate deserves something special for trying to get this subject out in the open.
How to Keep an Idiot Busy Thank God it's Friday. This has been a rough week. I hope you see the humor in this site. Very similar to the cute Strip Tease program (download program here). Also, be sure to join our mail list described below. Have a great weekend.
God's Homepage Well, you knew this was coming. It's so true. Everyone has a personal homepage. As the Ultimate Web Author, God provides answers to questions not available through lesser venues.

Many thanks to Tom without whose help, this link would not have been found. (Honest, I wouldn't have looked for this one.)
Planet Wally This is a public notice. Anyone who sends their URL and whose name is really "Wally" automatically gets a "Weird Pick of the Day." As it happens, this site is outstanding. Such a collection of the strange and unusual. I truly love it. (It was lucky too. I was gonna hide today. Hadn't found anything worthwhile until looking at email.)
Ask the Magic Nipple Ask the Magic Nipple and it will tell your fate. (I'm not touching this one... not even with a mink glove.)
Make A Bong Out Of It Andy and Barry challenge you to take three objects and then to detail the construction of a bong from it. Like we know what a bong is! Ha! I have no clue. (Vistar's nose grows so long, you could make a bong out of it.)
Hubbel Finds Lost Planet Woo! X-Files fans rejoice. Possible castaway planet is discovered near the constellation Taurus. I wonder if they'll find Gilligan and the Professor, the Skipper too.
Teenie Beanie Babies Hmmm. McDonald's Happy Meal premiums offered on the Internet "black market" for up to $55. Is this totally insane or what? And yesterday's news reported animal rights activists dressed as chickens on top of a McDonald's restaurant. Looks like Ronald McDonald has his work cut out to keep the customers smiling.
Real Confessions These "confessions" sound good enough to be real. They are, in fact, Real Audio, but they are unfortunately totally bogus. (We can only wish.) They do work well on an answering machine.
Females in Latex Masks Golly, Batwoman, isn't that a fetish mask you're wearing? This is a mighty strange one. About as much fun as pulling a weather balloon over your head and inhaling. Oh, well. It does take all kinds.
Useless Date Info This isn't about your last blind date, it's about today... the significance of its numerology. At least we aren't counting the bumps on a brail calendar.
Email to Heaven This is so uncomfortable. Yet, I can understand the value of getting feelings written down and sent off. It must help bring closure. But, just the same, to wander in and read such very personal expressions is as weird as can be. I believe I'd send my letter to Heaven in a less public manner.
Morbid Fact Du Jour Oh, yuck! Gag me with a plumber's snake. These facts are totally gross. And this macabre site will certainly appeal to Stephen King fans.
How to Toilet-Train Your Cat An exercise in patience, this procedure is part psychology, part bait-and-switch, and a lot of dishwashing. If it works for a cat, do you think it could help float a pet rabbit?

Many, many thanks to JadenLyric who is premiering a new website.
Buy a Virtual Friend Who says you can't buy friendship? Wanna bet. Try the free download, then if you want to license it, for a few bucks you can get your virtual friend to say or do anything. Use your virtual friend to deliver a personal message, ransom note, or a resignation letter that will never be forgotten. This isn't just strange; it's downright weird. Gotta love it :)
Help Buy Stan A New Mate This isn't the real name of the site. After learning that past purchases of chimp-created art were used to buy Stan a mate by the name of "Duke", it seemed like maybe there was a mistake? So buy chimp-art and help get Stan proper company, or rename Duke to Dutchess, or something. As you might imagine, this is an odd one.

Mighty big thanks to Duke for sending us this plea for help.
Club a Seal This site just showed up in my email from an anonymous donor. And no wonder. It's totally tasteless and offensive too. So don't blame me. I don't always enjoy what goes up here. Some sites (like this one) are provided for comparative value so you can appreciate the cute ones.
RIP Jerque du Jour Most dead sites are no fun at all. But, this one has staying power. It's in honor of idiot drivers commuting Calif. Hwy. 17 to their Silicon Valley jobs.
Kresky Show Archive Have you noticed how many old TV series have been archived on the Net? As an example, Brady Bunch episodes are detailed down to guest cast credits. (You will find my cousin in episode #81 of the Fourth Season. This is her moment of glory, and the producer's misspelled her name.) In the late 70's there were so many "formula" detective/cop shows on the Boob Tube, I lost track of them. Kresky is one I completely forgot until I saw the Show's archive. And, I must have been on drugs or something, because I am having the hardest time remembering more than one season. It hardly deserved one season, for sure.
Assassin! The game of murder. Bump off the people you most dislike. I did a hit on the Taco Bell pup and then moved on to waste the Backstreet Boys. What fun!

Thanks bunches, Julie. Appreciate the entertainment :) And Tara, dahlin' I missed the fact you had submitted this before. One thousand pardons.

Archive #3 of the best sites of the week. These are the third oldest (next) archived sites of the week, when it all began back in August of 1996.
