To the site's owner, I say "Good job grabbing that domain name". Otherwise, "meh".

O.k. I think I get it;

A banal and generic personal website created to poke fun at the thousands of other banal and generic personal websites.

Not really funny.

Here I'll describe another picture from my vacation.

I hope he's been seriously busy since 11/1/01 because I'm dying of curiosity.

My, didn't Verizon have some pretty page templates back in 2001? I wonder if they've improved since then.

Not in the slightest.

login writes "A banal and generic personal website created to poke fun at the thousands of other banal and generic personal websites. "

I'm not sure it's cutting wit so much as utter neglect.

As Murray said in "A Thousand Clowns:"

"It is impossible to have too many eagles, Nick."

On second thought, that may have been a bit strong.

Then again, on third thought. No, it was spot on.

So, have y'all heard that Yahoo returns much better results on Metafilter than google does?

This is the first FPP I've ever read where I seriously wanted those 30 seconds of my life back.

My kneejerk reaction is to want to beat the owner of the page with lumpy monkeys.

Best of the web? The web in my ass, maybe.

Flagging is somehow less than adequate. I want a 'kick it until it bleeds' button.

Well played, mr swift, well played.

At least it has brevity going for it. Those 30 seconds could have been 90... or 100!

This could be one of the worst FPPs ever.
