It is a brilliant fake amateur web site. Super Greg is a paid actor who appeared in commercials with that Buddy Lee character. Haj ---

Not appropriate to link to, but several times I received a file called “horse gag.avi” For reasons of tact, I will not describe it here, but the version with sound is 100 times funnier. ---

[http://www.pixyland.org/](http://www.pixyland.org/) Can you belive he’s divorced? Aw come on das…leave Peter alone. Personally I love this guy. And he won the Webby and came in full Pan regalia. It just fun to see a guy who is a kid at heart. Plus he recently found his Tinkerbell. Hooray for Peter! ---

I still haven’t seen anything that had me on the floor quite as quickly as [I’m A Cow](http://www.riddleme.com/html/cow.html). It’s MacroMedia Flash, and takes about a minute to load on my dialup, but it’s worth the wait. Patience has its rewards! Um…it should be noted that the animation is not suitable for minors, really… jayjay ---

Two of my personal favorites: [Cat Bathing as a Martial Art](http://www.xmission.com/~emailbox/bathing.htm) [How to Give a Cat a Pill](http://www.nativetech.org/billy/howtogiveacatapill.html) Can you tell I like cats? Okay maybe not from actually reading those but if you’ve ever had to bathe your cat or give them a pill, you know those are only slight exaggerations. 😉 ---

Waterj2: Whatever happened to Homer? Why don’t you try and get him back? I have never been completely sure whether laughing too hard at this website is the correct response or not.
