B. Previtera. to Comics by braino |
| Sunday Dec 5, 1999 | I remember when the state of the art in computer game
soundtracks was an AM radio next to the box. Nowadays kick-ass game
tunes are a dime a baker's dozen, and The Best Game Music in
the World probably has a copy of your favorite ones.

| Friday Oct 29, 1999 | I have religiously grovelled the MOD newsgroups for years, and every
couple months a new cover of the song "Popcorn" arrives in my spool.
The last time this happened, I decided to make a web page with all the
different "Popcorn" songs I could find. While researching for the
project, I discovered that someone already has a site dedicated to
"Popcorn". As of this writing, there are 69 different versions
archived there.

| Sunday Oct 10, 1999 | Missing socks. Everyone has-- or, er, doesn't have-- one, but hardly
anyone does something about it. Until now. This has
been a public service announcement from Joel M. Reed and your friends
right here at Memepool. to Culture by braino |

itself. Sell, sex, sell! to Sex by braino |
| Thursday Sep 23, 1999 | And though you be done to death, what then? / If you battled the best
you could; / If you played your part in the world of men, / Why, the
Critic will call it good. / Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a
pounce, / And whether he's slow or spry, / It isn't the fact that
you're dead that counts, / But only, how did you
die? --From How Did You Die?

| The Advertising Council has
been producing high-quality
propaganda for half a
century. Today they have almost 40 active
campaigns designed to manipulate
America's conscience and increasing its social
awareness. The memetic onslaught has overflowed on-line with all
sorts of ad
banners and video
clips.

| Monday Sep 20, 1999 | SpinnWebe, host to The Dysfunctional Family
Circus for nigh upon forever, has
been bitchslapped by Bil Keane's syndicate. The "cease and desist" must
be complied by today (20-Sep-1999), so check out this piece of 'web
history before it's gone.

| Tuesday Sep 14, 1999 | Search engines can change your life, if you're willing to archive and index
it. So says Richard
Setzer, whose page I found purely
by accident. to Web by braino |
| Saturday Sep 11, 1999 | The Center for
Responsive Politics has set up Open
Secrets to show you the money. Lobbyist
money, Presidential election
contributions, and Congressional campaign
funding, that is.

| Friday Sep 10, 1999 | A dictionary of
slang is a comprehensive lexicon of British slang, much of which
is not offensive. On the other hand, so to speak, there is Roger's
Profanisaurus, a list of mostly British slang consisting mostly of
words for naughty bits and things to do with them. This latter link
is not for the easily offended.

| Friday Aug 13, 1999 | So you have more AOL CDs than you know what to do with, and you just
gotta get rid of
them somehow. Perhaps fashioning them into boomerangs
isn't such a good idea.

| Tuesday Aug 3, 1999 | It takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate through the human body.
Octets, the fundamental unit of networked information, contain 2^3
bits. The Cult Awareness Network (now owned by Scientology) has 23
chapters. The Mayan long count ends on December 23, 2012. Impropaganda's 23 Skidoo has an
ever-expanding list of other occurrences of this famous number.

| Sunday Jul 25, 1999 | Have you ever seen a U.F.O? Have you ever experienced missing time?
Have you had the suspicion of being abducted? Have you ever found a
metal implant in you're body? Have you checked everywhere? The Alien Abduction Survey
is a sort of purity test for folks who want to know if they've been
abducted. Only the first 25 questions count; the last three are just
an attempt at sneakily scamming your valuable demographic information.

| Friday Jul 23, 1999 | Many of you have seen the Hello Kitty
massager by now. Apparently Sanrio USA doesn't offer them, so
where can you get your aching hands on your own bundle of soothing
pink cuteness? A convenient North
American retailer is now filling this niche market. It is this
intrepid reporter's pleasure to present a link to these elusive key chains.

| Make your own
mucus! This page adheres to the philosophy that you can never have
too much snot. You can also use it to make hairballs
without all that tedious licking and vomiting. You don't even need a
cat!

| Saturday Jul 10, 1999 | Buttons, buttons, who's got the buttons? If you mean those 88x31
GIF rectangles pasted all over the web, then these folks have the
buttons: Buttons Now!,
Animated
Buttons Now!, The 88x31
Button Gallery, Bunches of
88x31 Buttons, Dr. Cheap's
Button Collection, and Michael's
Plug Page. Too bad hardly anyone preserves the links behind
them. Caution: A lot of these buttons are animated, and a lot of
them run at full speed.

Scott Lincoln "Omar"
Davis has been gracious enough to transcribe John Baptist Porta's
Natural
Magick to the web. Omar's Dustfall
page is full of collected wisdom. I especially like his ripped
off copy of The Top 100
Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord list.

| The Incredible
Five-Cent Sugar Rocket is 35KB worth of serious model rocketry
instructions. These babies are supposed to reach 300 feet, and making
them requires a serious time and attention commitment. Don't
tell your parents where you found this, okay?

| Friday Jul 2, 1999 | Phallic
symbols. Lots of inline thumbnails of them. Little or no actual
nudity, so the Moral Majority
and your company's firewall admin shouldn't mind.

| This
manifesto advocates the subjugation and breeding of a race of
worker midgets to generate electricity for humanity. Most of this
plan's faults can be worked around by acquiring Canada to house them.

| Tuesday Jun 22, 1999 | Finder's keepers; loser's weepers, unless the finder is a member of
the National Association of
Unclaimed Property Administrators and the loser's smart enough to
ask
for it back. But it's not just for Americans: Unclaimed
Canadian bank balances are also on the web, as well as several
sites regarding Swiss
banks and Holocaust Assets.

800-pound still picture camera, a

| Do you want a few hundred or thousand acres of "basically
environmentally clean" property? Do you need a fiber optic network,
satellite uplink, wet lab, swimming pool or on-site daycare center?
Are high-security facilities a definite plus? Then the
U.S. Department of Defense, Office of Economic Adjustment would like
you to consider buying
a decommissioned military base.

Find out the maximum
USRDA for 280 toxic substances, then see which ones are in your

has 'dat too!
