My Redneck Neighbor
I’m reposting this link for future reference: My Redneck Neighbor.
Girls Kissing
No, I didn’t open this link at work. I just copied it to paste here and look at later. So don’t blame me if it opens twelve pop-up windows.
(2014 update: this is one of the few links from back in 2002 that’s still alive and well and didn’t need to be update. Of course; the NSFW stuff remains.)
cockeyed.com
I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: I really like Rob, from cockeyed.com. He has some great pranks, like this one, where he got a bunch of old trophies from a friend, and gave them away to people on the street. That’s just fun.
Invisible libraries, fake band names, and gardens of forking paths
Funny and/or cool websites I’ve noticed lately:
Garden of Forking Paths
Welcome to the Garden of Forking Paths, one of the most intriguing areas of the Libyrinth of Allexamina. Here you will find access to the garden planted by J.L. Borges, the Argentine writer, poet and philosopher. Although I tend the garden as well as I can, beware: among these sprawling labyrinths you will find illusions most seductive and truths most elusive. Let me show you around.
The Invisible Library [link updated in 2013]
a catalog of “imaginary books, pseudobiblia, artifictions, fabled tomes, libris phantastica, and all manner of books unwritten, unread, unpublished and unfound.”
2011 Update: a Salon article on the idea of an “Invisible Library”

You’ve seen her darting into the stacks in search of Moody’swearing Chanel knock-offs and Kenneth Cole shoes. You’ve glanced at her from the corner of your eye during conferences wolfing down free scones while decked in what you’d swear was last year’s Mizrahi. Or you’ve seen her with that Linda Evangelista-like pout and Oliver Peoples frames as the umpteenth person has asked her where the bathroom is. And you wonder, “who is that exquisitely attired woman and are my tax dollars paying for it?” Who is she? She’s a Lipstick Librarian!
Onion: Newly Out Gay Man
I could make a big fat list of guys I know who are just like this….
Newly Out Gay Man Overdoing It
PENSACOLA, FL—Calling his flamboyant air and effeminate mannerisms “a bit forced,” friends of recently out-of-the-closet homosexual Mark Glynn, 23, say he’s overdoing it.
“When Mark first told us he was gay, everybody was totally cool with it,” longtime friend Rich Eddy said. “We figured he’d basically be the same old Mark, except he’d be dating guys. Boy, were we wrong.”
Though Glynn’s friends expected him to become comfortable and open with his sexuality, they did not expect him to go to such great lengths to proclaim his preference for men at every conceivable turn.

propaganda posters for today’s news
Hands down my very favorite site of the month — propaganda posters for today’s news. Why didn’t I think of that?
Ernie from Little.Yellow.Different
Ernie from Little.Yellow.Different is going to be on The Weakest Link sometime between November and February. I’ll have to actually watch the show now, because’s Ernie’s so cute. For a boy.
Little.Yellow.Different.com
This is Ernie, from Little.Yellow.Different.com. Ernie is a web developer and his job, from what I can tell on his weblog posts, is pretty damned close to mine. Ernie is Asian-American. He’s cute. He’s gay. And he lives in San Francisco. I can’t figure out why he doesn’t have a boyfriend, because he’s adorable. And very, very funny.
