Ok everyone form a queue. Get your poorly scanned photographs here, step right up. See for yourself the amatuerish web design - some of the worst colours the good people at Geocities have to offer. [Click here to waste a few precious moments of your life.](http://www.geocities.com/dopetoberfest/ladope1) While I’m dressed up like this, why not scoot over to the [Londope 2002 thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=97442).

Damn. They’re good photos too. The captions alone are worth it. What does “Eexceeded allocated data transfer” mean? ---

The captions really are worth it. I didn’t mind wasting those precious moments of my life. In fact, I keep going back to that page and constantly hitting reload, just to see if the captions change at all. Great work. I am impressed by both the photos and the words. pat ---
