Aside from numerous lyrics sites, band sites, and threads from various message boards, here are some of the more interesting sites. I almost never visit any of these sites, but if I deleted them, I would probably then want to visit them. Industrious Clock Someone linked that here a while ago. Fun With Words I don’t know why this is in my favorites. An American’s Guide to Canada Again, someone linked that here before. Sexy Tree Yet another SDMB Link Panty Quilt A friend of the Zappa family wanted to make a quilt out of unwashed female underwear, so she had Frank Zappa collect them at concerts. Traffic Cone Liberation Society Traffic Cone Preservation Society [Forgotten Ohio](http://www.forgottenoh.com/page1.html) This is the only interesting site I’ve bookmarked that I visit regularly. It’s about haunted and abandoned places in Ohio. ---

The **Traffic Cone Liberation Society** link will not work. I think the site is no longer there.
