I'm bored on the web. Please list some of your favorite sites.
Shopping, non political blogs, fan sites, anything and everything.
I'd like to find some new and interesting places to surf.

Thanks in advance!

4. This is a good one for weird stuff
http://www.timanderic.com

These two guys have all kinds of ridiculous short movies and pranks. They also have a show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim now.
Just so you know, some of it could certainly be deemed offensive so use at your own risk. (It is, however, hilarious in my opinion.)

http://www.nothingtodo.co.uk/home.php

I must admit, the first game listed, "Chainsaw the Children", provided me a few minutes of sick fun.

on edit: it's the second game listed now.

made me spray coffee all over my monitor. Beware, they are truly addictive.

12. Oooh, let's see...
Edited on Mon Jul-25-05 10:55 AM by IntravenousDemilo
www.homestarrunner.com is fun, especially "Teen Girl Squad" as read by Strong Bad the Mexican wrestler.

www.plif.com is bizarrely funny. The Parking Lot Is Full will give you several years of single- and multi-panel comics that tend towards the twisted.

www.fadetoblack.com was cool last time I was there, but I haven't been to it in a while. There's some neat stuff in the archives, though, like Louis Farrakhan singing calypso.

26. mycathatesyou.com -- the captions are a scream
My own Little cat is on there.

Of course you know about DU's favorite
our boy Bart and its affiliated entertainment-oriented site

For nasty, celebrity-baiting fun you can go fug yourself

And I'll second TVw/oP - great writing!

And when I need to get out of the office (mentally) I'll visit the Veniceblog to read what's going on in the most beautiful city on earth -- and for a visual fix, here's a http://turismo.regione.veneto.it/it/webcam/webcam2.html">venice webcam

28. Zodiackiller.com :Anything you ever wanted to know about Z.
www.the8thgrade.com My old band's site.

www.haywoodyards.com My new band's site.

www.incorrectmusic.com my favorite site on the web after DU; the audio archives are filled with the most heavenly and godawful outsider music you can shake a dead cat at.

I know there are cool birds there, but it just doesn't have the pull that so many other places have. Like Asia, Africa, South America, Central America, Australia, and Europe.
