It is the last day before a long holiday weekend, and things are dead, dead, dead! Yet, I am stuck here all day. I need to be amused. What are your favorite time wasting websites. (Note: While my company has very liberal surfing policies, please follow SDMB SFW rules) Thanks! ---

Go to [**My Boot**](http://www.myboot.com/) and read the “She Hates My Futon” story. One of the best, most effective time-wasters _ever_. 🙂 (You, too, can join the ranks of people who are annoyed with the author because he’s been promising us another chapter for three freaking years . . . 😉 ) ---

I never miss a chance to plug [http://www.warehouse23.com/basement/](http://www.warehouse23.com/basement/) … The concept? Well, the website bleongs to Steve Jackson Games, makes of the GURPS roleplaying game. One of their settings is a conspiracy genre world - and all the things the government doesn’t want people to know about are kept in a secret warehouse - Warehouse 23. So SJ Games used that for their online store. But in the _Basement_, you can search through random boxes and find user-submitted items that fit with the theme. Think of the big warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, where they put the Ark of the Covenant. ---
