"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Cancersucks.org [link] has the worst I've run into in some time. I particularly resent it because I could do so much better with that domain name.

Each screen takes forever to load. Clicking "Skip Intro" does not make the loud music and moving images go away. It's at least 15 seconds before there's a way to turn off the music. Everything you click has to go through beeps and various Flash gyrations before it opens the text, which is mostly almost unreadable, because it's pale gray over a white transparent box over a busy picture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy anniversary, MoonBones!

I wish I could send you to Solomon Shoes website circa 2001. The Flash animations were so egregious that I sent them an email that just said "Stop it with the Flash!"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Cash, Ginger: thank you so much! Those websites are just as you said they were.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ad agencies and restaurants tend to be the worst Flash offenders, IME. All music and blinky things and no plain HTML versions anywhere in sight.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy annum, Jess and Ethan!

Matilda is still babbling about "Baby Dylan" incidentally.

She's not sleeping a lick, but her memory is fine.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Theodosia, will horrid Flash sites in Hebrew help you?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Happy Anniversary, Jessica and Fone Bone!
