Fascinating study of the Geocities 'bandwidth exceeded' page. I think the ads are the best part.

Yeah...Geocities...bless their little hearts, is never a good thing to put on a site where more than 10 people could click through in a month.

What is the point of geocities if they don't give their users any bandwidth?
posted by shoepal at 9:37 PM on September 25, 2005

shoepal, they sit and laugh at all the denial of service messages.

We are from the mountain, living in the mountain, go back to the mountain, turn the world around.

Crazy. I was fleecing the locals in Guinea when some vacationing westerner came up to me and asked me for some local color.

I was pretty fresh off of selling some Hoosiers on some band instruments so I baffled him with some bullshit concerning going to and coming fom The Fire. Seriously. He bought the flimsiest shit concerning turning the world around.

Next thing I know he's raking it in on some TV show alongside some puppets with my dumbshit line.

Should've dazzled him with dancing.

So is life.
