Seriously Fun Websites

By the way, if you've found any fun sites please email them to me.

This past summer I endured the tedious process of reviewing, analyzing, documenting and updating all aspects of every site we host on our servers. It was an important, necessary and intensely boring job. As I was digging through directories I came across one with the unusual name of "shavemyyeti." Yes, you read that right - Shave My Yeti. I wasn't sure where this site came from, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to find out. It turns out the site came from the disturbed minds over at nail, one of our agency partners. It was a promotional piece for Polartec. Okay, I know a site with a name like "Shave My Yeti" (www.shavemyyeti.com) is irresistible - as many of the sites in this newsletter are - so go ahead and click the link and enjoy. I'll wait. (Don't worry the Yeti is "decent" under his fur.)

Admittedly, humor is always in the mind of the beholder. Not everyone will find the Yeti as hysterical as I do. In fact, I should take a moment for a humor disclaimer. It is quite possible that some of the sites I'm reviewing are significantly less funny than they seemed when I first reviewed them. I was probably succumbing to "The Far Side Effect." "The Far Side Effect" is what happens if you attempt to read an entire anthology of The Far Side in one sitting. It's a well-known fact that the editors carefully sequence the panels in ascending hilarity. They start off funny, but get even funnier page by page until every cartoon knocks you to the floor in asphyxiating, stomach-cramping laughter. A word to the wise - beware flipping through The Far Side at the store. Just buy it and read it at home. If you aren't careful you might find yourself gasping for breath on the bookstore floor.   next >
