I’ll see what I have in my bookmarks. ::checking:: [80’sNostalgia.com](http://www.80snostalgia.com) - A lot of info on things that happened and were marketed in the 80’s. [Crack’s Smilies](http://www.mysmileys.com) - I use these smilies on one message board I frequent and in my e-mails. They are so fun! [Launch.com](http://music.launch.com/) - They have a lot of music videos (the most I have found on the web), you can choose music for your own radio station, and they are pretty up to date. [UselessKnowledge.com](http://www.uselessknowledge.com) - Just some pretty interesting useless knowledge. You can even find the third word ending in -gry! How’s that for useless? ::snicker:: I know there are more, but I will just wait until others add to the list. 🙂 ---
