I've done a lot of web surfing in my time, and this has led me to one
inescapable conclusion.
The ugliest, most irritating, most hate-inspiring web sites I've run
across were all created by someone named "Lisa."
Don't believe me? Here, have some MIDI music that'll make you want to
kill:
Horrible Lisa Web Site Numero
Uno
Part of it is how these Lisas think every detail of their lives is fascinating.
Example:
A Lisa
Puts Up a Photo of Herself Doing the Macarena with a Guy in a Raccoon
Suit
Here's a Lisa whose web site consists of almost nothing at all except
a questionnaire to rate her web site, which consists of nothing except
the questionnaire to rate her web site. Did you follow that?
A Lisa Creates
a Paradox
But, worst and most frightening of all, are Lisas who put "poetry,"
including their own and John Denver's on their web sites:
Not the Worst Web
Site Created by a Lisa, Hard as That May Be to Believe When You See It
Be sure and look out for this line:
Was the fork you took so long ago
the reason for your heartaches
Well, yeah. Go around stealing silverware and you're gonna get some grief.
If you've spotted a hideous abomination of a web site by someone named
Lisa, feel free to forward it to me. And if you're a Lisa who's created
a graphically stunning web site that is entertaining and engaging, and
is about something other than your fucking cats, I'd love to hear from
you.
