chuckles and a warped sense of humor
unsorted and roughly chronological
if you have friends who have access to email, then you've received
at least one of those infamous ``email forwards.'' they typically
have long, long trails of mailer-info showing who received it when
for the past three months, and thousands of extra ``>>>'''s that
make it really hard to read. of course, if it's not a chain letter, it's
typically either very funny or very weird, or both.
well, i've gotten tons of these things over the past few years, and
decided once upon a time to collect them in one place, html-ize-ed and
cleaned up for easy reading. this page started with ten such pieces, but
now you'll find over two hundred oddities here!! if you have something
funny, bizarre, or otherwise worthy of posting for posterity, send it to me.
these are sorted roughly by when i got them. follow this link to the
categorized and sorted index
new stuff is marked
... the list is sorted
(roughly) chronologically --- the oldest stuff is at the bottom...
please note that i use a home-brewed program (and some simplistic shell
scripts) to generate this index page. it's still got bugs in it, and is
far from perfect in design. if you notice any glaring oversights or just
want to say hey, email me.
check out the link at the bottom of the page for more onto about the
auto-indexer...
disclaimer: i make
absolutely no claim of authorship or
un-offensive-ness of anything here (in fact, i completely deny
responsibility), nor do i claim to have any clue of whence it came... this
is stuff that people emailed to me.
