Lyrics to Guns n Roses' "Get in the Ring"
This straddles the line between utterly hilarious and sad/scary. Axl Rose is most definitely unwell. My favorite part is when he starts naming off all the music writers he doesn't like. And whatever happens, don't ever forget:

"You may not like our integrity yeah
We built a world out of anarchy
Oh yeah!"

Integrity? By the way, what exactly are "collagen lip projections"?

Thundercats Outtakes
To be perfectly honest, I find the whole '80s "retro cartoon" thing kind of uninteresting and silly. That said, how can you resist this page containing hilarious, often profane outtakes from the vocal sessions for the Thundercats cartoon? The answer is "you can't."

Budget Travel Resources...with a Twist
At this site, you will learn about good places to sleep if you're too cheap or unwilling to pay for a hotel room for the night. Airports around the world are reviewed for their "sleepability", and other places such as hospital chapels and universities are recommended as free lodging.

As a university student, I found the "go sleep at a college" recommendation somewhat unnerving:

"I travel (broke, usually) as a profession, and a good place to sleep, I've noticed, is on a college campus. If you're even vaguely around the age of the average college student you can crash out for up to 8 hours in the library, on couches in lounges, or just in the grass. Also, youcan meander into the dorms and take a shower (sometimes even eat for free!)"

If I found some guy taking a shower my dorm shower, I'd be pretty freaked out. I suppose this is a popular option though, as there are always tons of people (students and vagrants) sleeping at my uni's library.

Religous Fashion
An entry from alt.culture. It's a page chronicling pop culture from the mid '80s to the mid '90s (or thereabouts). I'm only posting the "Religious Fashion" link as it contains one of the greatest phrases I've ever heard:

"blasphemous cleavage-accenting rosaries"

Oh yeah...

echo man
I think this site is some sort of "hip" British style magazine, serving the North East of England. Just look at some of the fabulous content held within:

Take a tip from Milan man. Sounds like a primitive hominid that was into fashion! Looks like Roger Waters if he got a GQ makeover.

Day of the older dad, featuring a smarmy David Bowie.

"Suspicions that the dressing down codes sweeping through Britain's offices were a passing fad have been dashed..." Instead, office workers are apparently now expected to dress like a member of Suede.

Here's safe driving instructor Albie Redshaw. He also seems to moonlight as a Power Ranger.

There's also the shocking news that "there was a time when all men talked about down the pub was football, cars and women. But time has been called on sex and motors. Today's drinking man is more likely to chat to his mates about DIY and house prices". OK, losers. Maybe they've been hanging around this guy too much.
