Bored at work? Well thank the gods for the Internet! There isn’t a more perfect tool for wasting your employer’s valuable time then the Internet. Whether it is idling away precious hours playing online Tetris or clicking your way through endless pages of Wikipedia, the Internet makes work just bearable. Now many people will say ‘Hey we work hard all day!’ Well this is awesome because it gives the rest of us more time to waste (and probably get paid more than the complainers) while still having the appearance that things are getting done at work. Still reading? Then I know you are bored, let me list a few of my favorite sites that are my daily haunts while dodging the boss.
Cockeyed.Com : If you haven’t visited this site yet, you must be a newb. Rob Cockerhams site is full of strange science experiments, travel journals, naughty food items, and one of my favorites, his incredible creations. These creations range from Devo hats, Jenga Costumes, to amazing spring powered Converse low tops that should get you into the NBA in no time. This site is massive; you can easily waste a few days reading all the content.
Disinfo.Com : Do you live on the edge? Are you a left wing Wiccan Anarchist Vegan Rasta Crusty-punk? Then perhaps this site is for you. Filled with a mix of underground stories, opposing political opinions, and the deep secrets of Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic magic, Disinfo is sure to please your counter culture spirit. It’s a vast site that can teach you how to make fake boarding passes (apparently a no-no) to the inherit problems of a misguided satanic ritual, and best of all you can do it all while eating your tofu.
Myspace.Com : How could I not mention this site in my first article, I mean come on now. What better way to waste the days then constantly checking your comments and inbox to see if some other slack-handed net junkie is reading about your oh so interesting life on your profile. If you are new to the site and have no friends don’t worry you will eventually get flooded with friend requests from crappy bands, horrible painters, and bad photographers all looking for that 10 second fix of someone actually listening or looking at their work. Oh my favorite parts of Myspace are the skinny pictures of known fat girls & guys. Now I am no skinny chicken, but I also don’t take pictures at the most bizarre angles to hide my chunk, get real people. I could go on, but hasn’t all this been said already?
Thepoke.Co.Uk : This is a great website! It has funny commentary and stories ranging from how the queen is suing her dentist to the touching article on male butch horses that are tired of prancing about and being associated with the feminine side of things. Perhaps you would enjoy the course on being a ‘riter’ stating ‘everyone’s got a shit book in them’. This is the Weekly World News mixed with Monty Python, there is no better way to spend the day.
Well that is it for me this time. Ill try and continue to give you the best sites I find to waste time and expand your mind. Hopefully you didn’t get busted while checking those out. Remember dress for success and keep your fingers on Alt-Tab.
