Mini "Link Blog"

The best link blog on the internet:

  1. Duel'in Firemen was a video game that almost happened in the 1990s. This promotional video features many B-Movie stars like Rudy Ray Moore and musicians from DEVO.
  2. A documentary about the comic Elfquest. 3/16.
  3. When your French Fries are 10 minutes late on DoorDash. I love this video and I think that is because it represents the attitude of people in the North East and the fun of hanging out on a rooftop having a party. 3/6.
  4. What do we want for dinner? This song will be hated by vegans, although I sense irony in the performers delivery and presentation. 3/6.
  5. The difference between Southern and Northern French accents. I have a Quebec French accent. 3/6.
  6. Beetronics FX makes bee-utiful guitar pedals. 3/6.
  7. Kenneth Befus's rock videos rock. 3/6.

  11. The World's Greatest Speakers. Maybe, maybe not, but fun to experiment with. Attaching exciters to random surfaces. Where to buy them. 2/21.
  12. Sasquatch Sunset red-band trailer. A movie about Sasquatches. That's my kind of movie. 2/21.

  18. The Fastest Way to Lose Half a Million Dollars. My Ferrari is Gone. That time WhistlinDiesel's Ferrari caught fire and melted after he met Gort the Capybara. Coincidence? There are no coincidences. 1/28.
  19. Interviewing Killdozer Victims (I Brought My Bulldozer). Looks like WhistlinDiesel is building his own Killdozer. 1/28
  20. 4K remaster of the Star Wars Holiday Special. I've gone on record before that this was the 4th best Star Wars movie because it is entertaining. 1/15.

  22. Demo for the New Jersey metal band PREY. 1983. \m/ 1/13.

There is a lot of stuff on this website: a blog about road trips, six free music albums, art, a comic strip, a directory of awesome links, and a mini-blog. I restarted the site out of sheer boredom in 2020. I pulled together some of my favorite internet stuff from the 1990s and 2000s. I hope someone enjoys it as much as I do.
