> [@](#): > > Waterj2: Whatever happened to Homer? Why don’t you try and get him back? I was wondering that, and checked his profile, where it said that his [last post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1728567#post1728567) was a mere 2 days ago, so I suppose the answers are: 1. nothing 2. it would seem to be redundant, or at least not terribly useful ---

Sorry Diesel, I overlooked your earlier entry and I mistakenly put [http://www.threebrain.com/weeeeee.html](http://www.threebrain.com/weeeeee.html) down again. I guess you can never have too many shortcuts to bouncing squirrels.

The first time I read Something Awful’s “Cliff Yablonski Hates You” pages I laughed like crazy. I also loved all the legal threats they got from people they made fun of. Lately they’ve been putting up links to crappy GeoCities sites so that people will click them and cause them to go over their data transfer limit. Seanbaby also has some awesome stuff about video games. My favorite is “Dear Nintendo: My Life Is A God Damn Mess” where they make fun of actual Nintendo Power mail. I think the funniest thing I ever saw on the Internet was the very first time I saw the All Your Base Are Belong To Us stuff. Granted, it was run into the ground, but those first couple of times I was going nuts. ---

This cracked me up… [http://www.hamncheez.com/~noeffort/tftl.htm](http://www.hamncheez.com/~noeffort/tftl.htm) Also, now I have “I’m a Cow” and “Gonads and Strife” stuck in my head concurrently. It’s _really_ weird. ---

[Cruel.com](http://www.cruel.com) has lost a step recently, but it’s still good for an occasional lowbrow laugh (check out the “Sex Object” link). ---
