Often, but not often enough, I bookmark sites thinking, "This will come in handy in the future."
At one time I thought that I'd be able to map labour history in the United States and see similar patterns in the labour history of baseball. How fucking tragic is that? You look at your bookmarks and there's 3 dozen references to American labour history. When the fuck did that ever come in handy? Am I writing a book on that? No, I'm writing goofy scripts about insurance van scams, 4 year old artists and Chinese guys who can pull trucks with their cocks.
It was nice to respond to Mark Mullane's query (at work no less) about euphemisms for vagina and say, "OH I have a great site bookmarked!"
It's satisfying to know that Muffy's World of Vagina Euphemisms can help you get ahead in this work-a-day world.
I'm waiting for the day that Wikipedia's list of ethnic slurs gets me a promotion.
Other stuff I found that I had bookmarked:
Comment War Between Paul Hammond and Be Bad from 2005
A Site Depicting a House Made of Empty Embalming Fluid Bottles
The Video of Charles Rocket Saying 'Fuck' on Saturday Night Live
I also found an awesome Cory Lidle fansite.
Right after New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle died in a plan crash, I found a website that depicted a (I'm assuming fictional) after death chatroom conversation between Cory Lidle and Thurman Munson (a Yankees catcher who died in a plane crash almost 3 decades earlier).
Who has time to write this garbage?
