April 2nd Fools

Tired of the same old blogs with the same old links? Well, Mark Evanier may have come up with the future of blogging with There's No Such Website! It's a list of five weird websites with camouflaged links, and one is fake. Can you find the bogus site without having to visit all the real awful ones? Play here and here and here and here and here (holiday edition) and here and here and here and here and (whew!) here. Don't you wish all blog links had a chance of being nonexistent?

By the way, in addition to the game show within a comedy piece within a blog, Mark Evanier tells some of the best showbiz stories on the Web. And he actually worked on Welcome Back Kotter!

APRIL sure is a nice month, isn't it? Weather's been great.

I know, e-colonel, I've sung Evanier's praises here before and before...

Anyone who worked on Groo is, in all aspects, a GOD!

I'm quite disappointed to learn that "Elmyr Danzig's Gallery of Lunch" isn't a real website. It sounds like a fun project.

That's scary - I scored all the fake ones on the first guess - I need to get out more -

Mark Evanier edited my favorite comic when I was a kid: Groo the Wanderer.

Entertaining site. And it alerted me to the existence of Hats of Meat!

Why, if there is a just and loving God, does the Helium Tabernacle Choir not exist?
