We’ve been internet access-y for a little under ten years, and through using AOL and 100 different computers, have a weird amalgam of links and favourites that sometimes reappear from 1998 [Hanson World?], right alongside more recent links [a sobering, adult cnn.com]. I am way, way too lazy to prune through my entire list, but sometimes I get drunk and check to see what links still work. Here’s one that drunkertained me tonight:

Advice from Satan
A collection of pieces housed on the Brunching Shuttlecock site, which ceased updating in 2003. I love the helpful, straight-talking tone; it never feels like Satan’s lecturing me, you know? Example, on the subject of laundry:

READ THE TAGS! Some clothes need to be dry-cleaned. And if you put them in the wash with the rest of the laundry, you’ll damage these fragile vestments, earn my wrath, and be forced to spend eternity suffering in Hell, where your soul will be forever scrubbed raw by a host of swarming maggots.

And nobody wants that.

See? And now I know!

BONUS LINK: Traveling abroad or not, nothing says WEEKEND FODDER like Amsterdam Hotlinks! Unfortunately, it’s not what you think. But really, really good for planning a trip to, I don’t know, Utrecht. I mean. Probably.
