I wonder what the guys who ran Butt Machine Boys are doing these days.

A quick google says it got subsumed into the Kink.com empire around 2013, which makes sense.

I love how this kind of internet nutjobbery never evolved their web sites. They're still the same clash of colours and fonts, poorly positioned images. I bet they sill have guestbooks.

Wasn't there a site that basically took in any and every Ghost and UFO image and story and presented them with absolutely no doubt they were true? Was that Ghost Research or Study or something?

Good for them! They're probably still making drunk college kids go "the gently caress?"

I remembered one; he was a furry with a fursona of a black and white wolf with earphones (like a DJ, I guess) and he was obsessed with commissioning art of his fursona. It got to the point he actually lost his home and was blacklisted by a large number of artists.

Lupine Assassin is who you're thinking of, I think.

I don't actually think there was much else notable about him besides being really bad with money.

They have a hit counter!

Speaking of which, how could I ever forget about LINGsCARS:

Ling is still active by the looks of it, and though I just scanned the headlines she's pretty concerned about employee safety in these strange times. 'STAY CHIPPER' Boss of hire car firm tells employees ‘watch Netflix, drink beer avoid excessive masturbation’ after furloughing them

The first thing I thought of when you mentioned early internet and benign pranks is a site called cockeyed.com. I don't know if they pulled off the stunt you described, but it sounds like something they would do, and a trip to web.archive.org might solve the mystery.

Bumping this because I remember a differernt prank guy, who I think eventually founded/was part of SparkNotes? The site might have been...SparkFun?

He did weird pranks/projects like seeing how much weight two people could gain in a month (I think he was trying to see if they could gain 1 pound/day?) and the "Stinky Meat Project" where he literally just put meat in public places, like in a potted plant in the mall, or his neighbor's yard.

But he also got weird/creepy, because if it is the same guy I'm thinking of, he "pranked" his sister by putting a webcam in her living room ceiling light. Not cool.

That's Christian Rudder. The weight gain thing is The Fat Project http://web.archive.org/web/20010602082024/http://www.thespark.com/science/fat/index.html

He's also responsible for one of my favorite albums, Bishop Allen's Charm School

I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

I'm just going to assume/hope that's fake, because the concept of a real human being writing these sentences fills me with revulsion:

I'm pretty inured to online weirdness, but that guy's "art" is some of the most legit unsettling poo poo I have ever seen, and I'm sure the FBI has one agent for whom this creep is their entire job.

It’s always unsettling when you find something that breaks through the “seen everything the internet has to offer” barrier. Then that ends up with a 2x combo multiplier when you’re unsettled by the fact that all but the most depraved poo poo isn’t more than a blip anymore.

dunking on 2 and his dipshit brand of ""centrism"" is evergreen



at least he no longer gets invited to major conventions to give his comedy routine

I used to occasionally tune into his proto-podcast show thingy way back in the day because I found him funny at times as a lame male teenager. At the end he had a segment called “Dear 2” where he’d read emails from people asking for advice on random stuff. One time someone wrote that he found child porn on his roommate’s computer and asked 2 what to do. 2 responded “Don’t do anything and just leave your roommate alone. He can’t help it, dude.” I didn’t follow him much after that.

Did he get cancelled by the community for something finally or does everyone just think he’s washed up and lame now?
