I thought it might be a good idea if we put all the weird websites in this one thread where we could find them easily, and just for once it would be really great if we could keep it on topic (perhaps we could keep comments in another thread?).

Here's my offering, just to get things started:

Enjoy. :-)

I was worried when I saw the word 'thong' in the URL and I was right !

I like to have this site bookmarked:

www.bulwer-lytton.com.

It's the home of the Bulwer-Lytton competition for bad opening sentences for novels. As well as the competition entry, there is also a page called sticks and stones, which features examples of some truly dreadful things which have actually been published.
The last entry is a metaphor for a sex scene, in a thriller:

"And then he was fully socketed to her, like a pipe wrench in a crock of warm chili."

Eh ?

The author had HAD sex, as well as writing about it? I think they missed the point if so.

enter an author's name, and see who he's linked to. Intriguing, it claims to be self-learning...

Hee hee hee!

Look what I found:

[www.earglasses.com]

I can't decide if it's for real or not . . .



Jesus saves; Buddha does incremental backup.

She looks like something out of Star Trek!

i always used to play with this little guy when i got stressed at work...

[www.vectorlounge.com]

funny, but it seemed to be the website i visited most whilst working there...

I loved the bit on the earglasses website about them being an ideal present for someone who hasn't realized they're going deaf yet. I could just imagine my Mum's reaction if I'd given her a pair of clear plastic Mickey Mouse ears for Christmas !

Tell me who Bored Plant is:

Hurrah! You got the ID sorted, congrats. I you click on 'my profile' you can add a sig (like the bit that appears at the bottom of every one of my posts), add an image, etc.

Oh, and I'm on a standard Uk keyboard, with # next to '. 3 has a £ sign on it, donchaknow

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Yeah, but my sig will only be the "time is out of joint" thing, like it is everywhere else.

Come on, go to that website and tell me who you think Bored Plant is!

Portal bend?

Blonde trap?

any of the 673 other anagrams for Bored Plant?

Okay, for all those fforumites out there who have no idea what PSD and Intrigue are talking about, check out the Meet the fforum thread and all will be understood. (Confused the heck outta me until I read that one!)

Fine, Bored Plant is Albert Pond. You would know this, if you had read "The Mennyms"

And 'The Mennyms' would be....?

An English childrens book about a family of life sized rag dolls possesed by their creator, Aunt Kate. The book takes place in the mid nineties, after they have been living for 47 years. The author is Sylvia Waugh, and there are 5 books in the series.

Rii-iight...

<woosh>

That's the sound of things going over my head...
