What I do in my spare time

I have decided to share a list of the places I like to go on the internet. Many of you may already know about many of these sites, but it's a thing to do, so I'm doing it. Many of these are comic strips or cartoons, so I suggest starting from the beginning if you check them out. I have tried to provide the link to the first installment where possible, but sometimes, it's just not.

-Achewood:
http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=10012001
Comic strip that is funny most of the time. It's about these cats and stuffed animals and the lives they live underground. It has some obscenity, but what are you gonna do. After the author had a baby, he started including a baby update everyday just below the strip, and that is actually my favorite part. Other than Phillipe.

-Friendly Hostility:
http://www.friendlyhostility.com/d/20040108.html
Comic strip that is kinda weird sometimes, but I totally dig it. uh. . .it's about these people, and they do stuff. . .just read it. It very seldon has off days, so that's a good thing.

-Sore Thumbs:
http://www.sorethumbsonline.com/d/20040308.html
This comic strip is about these people that work in a video game store together, but that's not really what it's about. It's political in nature, leaning so far to the left that it sometimes falls over. When it's funny, it's really funny, but when it's not, it's lame. It's still worth checking out, though.

-Sin Fest:
http://sinfest.net/d/20000117.html
This comic strip is probably my favorite. It's is too funny. Plus, there's like a gazillion of them, so you can read it forever! It's about this guy and a girl, and God and the devil, and a dog and a cat, oh Hell, just read it.

-Devil's Panties:
http://devilspanties.keenspot.com/d/20011008.html
This is a comic strip I recently discovered, and to be honest, I haven't decided how I feel about it. But I keep reading, so that's a good sign. It seems to be about two girls that do things.

-Queen of Wands:
http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20020722.html
This strip is retired, sadly, so there's a limited number. I really liked this one cause the main character is SO much like me, although it gets kinda soapy and annoying sometimes, but I probably do, too.

-Alien loves Predator:In New York no one can hear you scream:
http://alienlovespredator.com/index.php?id=1
I actually just found this one today through a link on Friendly Hostility! It's a riot! It's a comic strip that places Alien and Predator as room mates living in New York city and conducting their lives just as if they were real people. It's awesome!

-Making Fiends:
http://www.makingfiends.com/
Cartoon that is SO funny! It's about this girl that makes fiends and is evil and mean, and this other girl that pisses her off because she's so enduringly happy and unflappable.

-Big Bunny:
http://www.big-bunny.com/
This is a series of cartoons made by the same girl that makes Making Fiends before she started it. It's about a giant pink bunny that wants to eat some children. Uh. . .that didn't sound right. Also check out her first efforts called Muffin films and can be found under Fuzzy Facts at this site or About the Series at Making Fiends.

-Snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/
This is a site where they investigate Urban legends and either prove or debunk them. Usually the latter. It is huge and you could spend weeks there without reading everything.

-PostSecret:
http://postsecret.blogspot.com/
This is a site where people make post cards with secrets on them that they've never told anyone and send them in. It's great fun!

-The food timeline:
http://www.foodtimeline.org/
Ok, I'm a dork. This site chronicles the entire history of mankind's food. It lists just about everthing we eat and when it was invented. If you click on the food, it'll usually take you to a little explanation of the history of the item. And on the other side of the timeline are cookbook and recipe links that have stuff from the different times. It's kick ass!

-TVGuide:
http://www.tvguide.com/default
I feel like a goober putting this one, but in all fairness, I go to it every day, so it deserves it's props. I read the Ask Ausiello column religiously cause he always has the scoop on shows. I also read entertainment news. There's lots of stuff there, so you get the idea.

There you go. Have fun.

Thanks! The highest form of flattery is mimicry, they say. And I'm so jealous that you have 2 achewood shirts! I really want one! Either a Phillipe one or the one that says dance like there's ass in your pants. I'm keeping my mind open, though. I dunno, I don't really approve of bad words on tshirts.

Ooh, I can make a list of links too! Oh, wait. All of my links are on your list already...cause I got them from you. I guess I'll just hang my head in shame. :(

Ha Ha! That's what happens when you share my personaloty instead of getting your own! :)

Margie the Pickle Princess said...

I meant personality. Not personaloty. That's something completely different.
