This may not qualify as “unusual,” but [SatireWire](http://www.satirewire.com/index.shtml) remains one of my all-time favorite humor sites, even though they quit in 2002. [Ah,](http://www.satirewire.com/news/jan02/australia.shtml) [memories.](http://www.satirewire.com/charts/madrigals.shtml) ---

Does anyone know what the first porn site on the Web was? There had to be one, and it should have a special place in the Smithsonian for its influence on American culture. ---

> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > “Mirsky’s Worst of the Web” linked the dumbest, most useless pages that had been loaded that week. He just got overwhelmed, and is now a columnist for Scientific American. This is what I came in here to mention. Oh how I loved that site. I was sorry to see it go, but could totally understand why. Are you certain the SciAm writer is the same guy? ---

As far as I’m concerned, by FAR the most sadly missed site on the web is the dearly departed Dysfunctional Family Circus. (Anyone know where I can get a copy of the complete archive of submissions?) ---

A few weeks ago, I was trying to find one of those ancient memes: a high school girl with a Geocities Web site where she gushed over her boyfriend, how they were going to stay pure until they got married, and … oh, that he had anal warts. I think it was a hoax, but still … Theresa, [the Billboard Girl](http://www.marrytheresa.com/main.htm), is still looking for Mister Right, even after she was knocked up by a bald guy with a goatee a few years ago. Eve Astrid Andersson, better known as [Pi Girl](http://www.eveandersson.com/), an ancient meme from the early 1990s, has grown up and is now a college professor. ---

> [@GrizzRich](#): > > Additionally, I remember the original “Hampsterdance” site. I even bought some sweatshirts from them. Alas, I can’t seem to find the site in it’s _original_ state any more. Sure, there are others evolved from the original; but it’s not the same.

There used to be a website that two ladies made about their fat annoying coworker. They had drawn pictures of her using Microsoft Paint or something similar, and told stories about all the annoying and disgusting things she did at work. I can’t for the life of me find that anywhere! Also, that Japanese-esque flash animation of the singing cat. If you’ve seen it, you know what I’m talking about. It’s singing in a really high pitched voice and it’s depressing because at the end the boy cat goes off with some other cat :(. ---

Just as a Moderator’s reminder: be sure that links do not go directly to a page that is not safe for the workplace. Lots of our members access the Message Board at work, and we would hate it if someone got fired because of clicking on a porn site just as the boss walks by. So our rule is, the direct link must be “workplace safe.” Secondary links can be to less strict standards, since the person clicking twice presumably knows what they’re getting into. (A single click could happen accidentally.) All OK? So, also, a warning: be careful about clicking on links in your workplace!
