Big Corporation Favorites
Discovery Channel: Is there really an explination needed for this amazingly cool collection of websites?

PBS: Check your local listings or contribute money. After all, PBS is supported by "Veiwers like you."

Emode: A website fun of tests, serious and fun, to determine what type of person you are. Fun for awhile, that is until they tell you your celebrity match is Richard Simmons.

Ask Jeeves: Mostly I enjoy this because I get some strange thrill from asking Jeeves the stupidest questions. Questions from the past include, but are not limited to, "Where dost thou get thine impeccible manner from?", "Where can I buy illegal drug paraphanalia?", "Is what your mother says about you true?", and "Jeeves, don't lie to me. Do you or do you not love me?!"

Blue Mountain: E-card Heaven. They've got e-cards for everything and anything.

The Onion: Get your fake and immensely amusing news right here. Updated every Wednesday.

E-Merchandise: A multitude of things for you to purchase. Where else can you find a Cecil B. Demented T-shirt?

E-Bay: When you can't find it on E-merchandise.

Personal Webpages
Laura's Hobbit Hole: My friend and fellow Tolkiener Laura has created this lovely webpage which features her many RP characters and her artwork.

Nada: Warm Bodies: Mel-Mel the Mog is a nifty Millsaps graduate whose art work is truly original and always interesting. I especially recommend the Butter series.

Katy Land: Katy always was the most computer literate one, which must be why she has her own domain name. Mostly it's just her webcam and webjournal, but (as with Sam's) I include it for nostalgia's sake.

Caroline's index: It has no name. It is a random collection of oddities, rather like Caroline herself. Still the Family Photo Album of Complete Strangers cracks me up /every/ time.

Noble Squid: Andrew's little site on the web. Filled with random bits of information and a rather Andrew-ish charm.

WWJD?: Not the usual WWJD? do site at all. Jason's site more of his philosophical ponderings. This is specifically a great site against people who use the Bible as proof against homosexuality.

Athena_Goww's Domain: Christina's first attempt at a webpage. Lots of luck!

Katarra's Homepage: One of my Dragonsfire MOO RP friends, in fact my first RP friend. It's all about her character Kat and is dripping in descriptions of the world she's created for her character.

The Galaxy Bizarre: Ryanan's character's webpage. A wonderful mix: RP character pages, Anime, and orginal poetry.

Ummm. . .: This is the most frightening web page I do believe I've ever laid eyes upon. I found it entirely by mistake and have been haunted since. See what lurks in the heart of America. . . .

TV: Warning: mostly 80s cartoons
Yesterday Land:The most complete litany of Saturday Morning cartoons from any decade. Also includes movies, prime time, fashion, toys, music. . . Just watch out for the nostalgia trip in your future.

Star Trek the Animated Series: Okay, okay. So I actually remember and like this show. I mean it was basically the original shows synced with horribly bad animation. Still, it had a certain charm to it.

Inspector Gadget: A great and devoted webpage to the 80s cartoon that made enough of a comeback to turn into a really bad 90s movie. Still, this site has lots of pics /and/ the complete listing of Gadget's gadgets.

Danger Mouse: The greatest secret agent in the world. . .and his website. That wonderful British cartoon with Danger Mouse, Penfold (his sidekick), and Baron Greenback (a most evil toad).

You Can't Do That on Television: An 80s classic. Without it Nick (curse their souls) would never have had green slime, one of it's few staying features. And this site has it all.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe. I never watched this one too much, but I had a poster and my cousin Alex had the giant action figure. Now days though it just reminds me too much of the Power Rangers to be pleasant.

ThunderCat's WebPage: The Ultimate 80s Saturday morning cartoon. Unfortunately the site isn't that great. Still, the episode guide and character biographies are thourgh.

Mysterious Cities of Gold: It was a French-Japanese cartoon from the early 80s. An amazing show with lovely animation, it actually presented kids of the time with entertainment /and/ education at the same time. The list of images on this site is /quite/ extensive nd it includes a full guide to all 39 carefully plotted episodes.

Are You Being Served: AYBS? is one of my favorite Britcoms and was, in fact, the first one that I watched. This site is a nice starter.

AYBS? Picture Gallery: Not much info, but quite a few pictures. Minki's AYBS? Shrine: One of the /most/ extensive sites out there. Character profiles, episode guides, quote pages, pics, anything you could want. AYBS? Driking Game: And what veiwing of Are You Being Served? would be complete without the Drinking Game. Try it with your favorite beverage today.

Cafe Rene: An ode to 'Allo 'Allo, my other favorite Britcom. This one features a cafe in war-occupied France and the strange life of it's owner. *le sigh*

The Centre: A wonderful little show about a man who can slip into any roll or job he wants to. It also vaccilates between evilly dark and frighteningly sappy. . .thankfully it stays long enough on the dark bits to keep me interested.

Due South: Canadian Television presents the story of an extremely polite Mountie, his deaf wolf, and the Chicago detective they befriend.

Movies
Mel Brook's Movie Site: One of my comedy heros (and now he's even got his own Broadway musical). It's a Mel Brook's site rife in sound and pics from each of his oh-so-popular movies.

Monty Python.net: Frightfully extensive Monty Python listing. There's almost too much stuff; it's overwhelming.

Star Trek in Sound and Vision: Very complete Star Trek site featuring all the Star Trek variations along with parodies and downloads galore.

A Fish Called Wanda: The movie's four main characters are all pocket-people and two are on my perfect list. Plus it's funny, and involves Monty Python talent. How can you not love it?!

Offical Rocky Horror Site: Don't pay attention to those mere wannabe sites. This is /the/ official one. Join the adventures of Brad and Janet through Frank's depraved laboratory.

Star Wars and Wagner's Ring: An interesting site that compares Star Wars to Wagner's Ring Cylce. Very detailed, it even compares musical themes of the characters. Fun and educational for the whole family!

Lord of the Rings: Sorry, but once these movies come out, there will be no need for me to live anymore. People are saying they're the next Star Wars, but better. Tolkein lives once more.

Blueblade Akira: A nice Akira site. Akira, originally a Japanese manga then a movie directed by the artist, is an amazing film. Disturbing at times, but amazing. I recommend, no insist you watch it at least once in your live.

Gattaca: Firstly, I recommend the movie itself. Second, I recommend the site because it has lots of lovely things to play with.

IMDb: A site so full of move trailers that it's thrilling. Also includes plenty of info on production, bios of actors, and some pictures.

Literature
ORB: A library with enough historical texts stored away to blow your mind. If you want to keep your sanity, use the alphabetical bar. Don't even attempt to scroll through them all.

Gutenburg Project: A website dedicated to getting books on the web. Mind you, due to copyrights only books over a certain age are available. Still, it's got a wonderful selection.

Biblomainia: Serves about the same purpose as the Gutenburg projects Philosophy Readings: A large collection of philosophical writings listed by author. Good if you've got freetime on the weekends.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Every Shakespeare play is here and they're working on getting the sonnets and poems up shortly. Now I don't have to buy that copy of Othello just yet.

Lord of the Rings: A great companion site with glossary, locations, character listings, maps, anything you need to remember while reading the books. Or trying to remember bits of the Silmarillion. Weird layout, but useful nontheless.

Tolkien Sarcasm Page: No matter how much I love Tolkien, I also love a good joke. And if it just happens to make fun of some of my favorite books. . .I'll survive.

Online Medieval and Classical Library: Berkeley's online source for a plethora of midieval and classical texts.

Catullus is Cool!: Though the name is stupid, the website is not. A listing of all Catullian poems with so many translations into different languages that I find it frightening.

Dorthy Parker: A large collection of scrumptiously evil Dorthy Parker poems.

History
The History Channel: It actually contains a wonderufl search engine which comes in handy when you're trying to remember little facts like "Who invented the hot-air balloon?" or "What year was the Battle of Waterloo?".

The Labyrinth: Georgetown University's amazingly complex site with links to any sort of Midieval topic you need. It even includes a teacher help section. My first and favorite find for history links.

The Ancient Agypt Site A nice looking, well laid out site on Ancient Egypt which has always been a favorite kingdon of mine. A Brutus of His Age: I have what some would call an unhealthy obsession with John Wilkes Booth, even tending to call him by the pet name Wilkes. And so, in explanation, I present this site which has a good history of him along with some devistatingly handsome pictures.

Archaeology: About.com hosts some pretty nifty stuff. From here you can find very detailed information on just about any historical object.

Dinosauria Online: A Dinosaur website run by real paleontologists who write up papers and will answer your questions. Plus it's got a very nice, if a little touchy, search option so you don't have to look endlessly for your info.

The Encyclopedia Mythica: A giant database of world myths which basically equates to. . .Paradise!

Norse Mythology: A good start for the curious and a great info source for the semi-familiar.

Lacus Curtius: A site on Mithraism, a very interesting religion with many similarities to Christianity. It was originally Persain, but adapted by Roman soldiers. Worth looking into.

Kabbalah Bnei Baruch: The Kabbalah, the source of Jewish mysticism. If you have a problem with me talking about Judiasm (or any religion that is around today) as myth, I'm sure the Greeks and Norse would have had the same problem with you.

Sententiae Latinae: A site with lots of little useful phrases in Latin. Learn them, impress you friends, confuse your enemies by saying horrendously rude and nasty things about them.

Weather: It's silly; I know. But it's just /so/ darned cool. It's the weather using the latest technology and the deadest of dead languages.

Rome Resources: The name says it all, and means it too. A huge listing of various things about Roman life. The military section is particularly nice.

NOVA Online-The Vikings: PBS's historical series looks into the Vikings with wonderful results. Lots of info and even a few clips of a Viking village reconstruction.

The Costume Page: Not wholly historical, I'll admit, but quite a good bit of it is. And for those obsessed with history /and/ making fun costumes to confuse the rabble, it's just right.

Historical Armed Combat Association: An association specifically for those trying to learn properly historical military methods.

The SCA: The Society for Creative Anachronists is a group that's sole purpose is to dress in historical costumes and replay the better days of the Middle Ages without the plague and peasants and stench.

Music
Sondheim.com: One of my favorite composers, the great Broadway writer Stephen Sondheim. A man who put wit and black humour into a type of show known for their carefree fun.

Ring of the Nibelungs: A site with plenty of info on both the play and the music of Wagner.

Gregorian Chant Homepage: Dedicated to bring chant back to life, this princeton site doesn't have too much info, but it makes up for it in great links.

Music History Resources: Compile large amouts of information on music history in a easy to find format and what do you get? This lovely page. Great for music majors.

Naxos Classical: Another good site for music majors: A little online musical dictionary for those of us that forget all that Italian.

Wav Central: Most sites carry lots of MP3s, but this site features the good ol' wav files. One of the best places to find quotes from TV and Movies.

Sound America: Basically the same as Wav Central, but with a shoddier layout.

MP3.com: Despite the fact that it can be a little obnoxious at times, it is still the only website that'll let you preview songs before you download.

Audio Galaxy: After Napster sold its soul to the Dark Side, I wasn't sure where I'd get my MP3s. Well, this is the answer. Easy searching, minimum software downloads, huge range of files, and very easy to operate. I give it five stars, two thumbs up, and a big round of applause.

Animation
Hypnotic:Check out the featured Nibble: Big Bunny. The bizarre and evilly fun story about three kids, a small dog, and a giant pink bunny with fangs.

Icebox: Once a prince among animation sites, it is now forced to show only one episode of each show. Still, I insist you go watch "Jesus and His Brothers."

The God and Devil Show: Everyone else has a talk show. Why not God and the Devil? Meet famous folks, watch God and Dev mock them, and then decide their eternal fate.

Gotham Girls: A grea Flash animation about Gotham's most infamous villianesses: Catwoman, Posion Ivy, and Harley Quinn.

Zapspot: Home of many downloadable and fun games that all too quickly become a little boring.

Popcap: Home of many fun games that somehow never seem to become boring. The infamous Bejeweled and Atomica both reside here.

Bunny Grenade: Sometimes a little juvenile, but often hilariously funny.

Newgrounds: Though it's all too often filled with sick trash, there are a few animations that are worth the suffering.

Animation Express: Always a top notch site admisdt the refuse of today's animations. Everything from shorts that'll send you laughing to creepily black humour.

Animutation Central: Flash animation music videos to popular Japanese songs. Frightening, but with a strange sense of charm.

Eskimo Bob: A strangely appealing set of stories with a fish eating Eskimo named Bob and his stick toting friend Alphonse as the protagonists. Good clean and silly fun.

Muffin Films: A set of twelve films all about muffins by the creator of Big Bunny. Amusing and ever-so-slightly disturbing in their fairy tale quality.

Billy Blob: Mostly I recommend it so you'll watch "Karma" and find out more about the strange soul who created it.

Wild Brain: Check out Hansel and Gretel: Private Eyes. Anything that dares to use the term 'Fairy Tale Noir' deserves to be watched.

8 Legged: An octopus who barely escaped being turned into calamari now hosts his own cooking show. Tako the octopus is full of recipes, tips, variations, and even a storyline for each show. Where else can you learn to cook and be entertained so thoroughly?

Zoomy Net: Peter Richarson's personal site. With an interesting and ever shifting style plus amazingly original stories, you can't beat him. I've been hooked ever since "Quetzalcoatl's Big Chance."

Jay Donaldson: Most of his stuff isn't that great and is, in fact, the crude humour I stay away from. But there is one animation that is sheer hilarity and brilliance: The Chem Lab Chronicles

PVP Online: A comic strip full of peoplw who work at a gaming magazine called Player Vs. Player. . oh and a troll.

Real Life Comics: Basically just a houseful of gamer geeks living their life and putting it into a comic strip.

Sinfest: Though there are many major characters, my favorite strips include God and the Devil. A truly amusing comic.

Angst Technology: A groups of computer programmers and game makers trying to eke out a living along with their web-surfing company mascot of a monkey and the Nijas that act as security guards.

Penny Arcade: An old time favorite. Hosted by Gabe and Elliot, it too, like many other strips, mostly deals with gaming and computers.

Mega Tokyo: This ranks in a tie as my all time favorite. Beautiful drawings, a continuous story line, and even really cool shirts to buy!

Ozy and Millie: This is the other tie in my Favorites' place. The misadventures of a boy fox named Ozymandias and his ADHD crazy best friend of a fox, Millie. Also includes racoons, aardvardks, sheep, rabbits, and Ozy's draconic dad Llewellyn

Miscellaneous and Weird
Guide to Shooting Rubber Bands: For someone who could never learn that really nifty gun-looking shooting technique, this is the perfect site. All variants and manners of fun.

Mountain Dew Anonymous: A twelve step program for recovering Mountain Dew addicts.

The Straight Dope: Ask a Question, get an answer. An amazing site that's soul purpose is to answer randomly interesting questions.

Dislexicon: The English language extender. I can't quite explain what it does; you'll just have to see for yourself.

Japanese Snacks: A wonderful site for those of us who enjoy Asian culture. Order a slew of Japanese yummies from afar to your very door. I recommend the Pocky.

Lileks: The comic section is to die for. Ever heard of Mr. Coffee Nerves and Johnny the Nicotine Imp? Wel scamper over and you'll learn quickly.

Yiddish Expressions: The title is a bit obvious. As a big fan of Oy Vey! this was the next step along the long path of learning insults in other languages.

Annie's Peep Links: A multitude of interesting and often frightening links about those interesting and often frightening little Easter candies.

80s Tees: A site dedicated to T-shirts based soundly in the 80s. Ahh, sweet nostalgia.

What's in a name: An amusing attempt at describing what your name's connection to your personality is. Sometimes correct, sometimes really wrong, always fun to play with.

Coloring.com: Miss coloring as a kid? Now you can color thanks to your computer and save them for latter use. Rather calming.

Lenin Goddess of Love: Lenin is a veritable Venus. Don't believe? Well he's got the doctored photos to prove it.

Melkor Bradley: The leader in board games based on literature. Get your copy of Moby Dick (based on Battleship) today!

Illustrated Beowulf: Clinton as Beowulf, the Pope as Hrothgar, David Letterman as lots of tiny folks to be devoured by a dragon. How much better can it get?

For Sale by Mental Patient: Probably your only oppurtunity to purchase various and sundry objects from the mental patient that runs this wonderfully wacky website.

Spam-ku Archive: Once a scary cube of glistening pink and totally unidentifiable meat product, now thousands of poems.

Wacky Links: Yes they are indeed wacky links, a very large and almost unending list of wacky links. Some are unfortunately defunct now *sniffle*

Evil Overlord List: Trying to take over the world r just impress the triumverate of MasterMinds Inc.? For those wishing to become evil or even A MasterMind checking up on the smart way to run things.

Evil Empress Guide: Based on the Evil Overlord List. Great for Villains of the female sex who are willing to use their charms and beauty as tools to take over.

The Evil Henchman's Guide: Another based on the Evil Overlord List. Good for henchman who don't plan to move up. However if you want to move up in the ranks of evil and not get killed by an irrate villain, don't pay too much attention to this.

So You've Decided to be Evil: A great beginner's guide for evil. Since many evil-doers today don't have the time to train newbies (and since they often blow them up with extremely powerful guns) this is a great other option for those wanting to live longer or for the misantropic antisocial villain.
