I figured that since the Wierd Earl’s link index is such a large fixture on the archives page, that there would be a forum dedicated to it. But I haven’t been able to figure out the best location to submit and discuss weird links. ---

It says right next to the Weird Earl link: > [@](#): > > Send your nominations for Threadspotting and Weird Earl’s to [TubaDiva@aol.com](mailto:TubaDiva@aol.com). This [was discussed](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=369031) a while ago. I think the general consensus (or at least my opinion) was that the MPSIMS and /or IMHO could hold discussions about Weird Earl’s. ---

It’s not a big enough deal on its own to have a separate forum; we discussed it but nothing really came of it. It’s not needed, really.
