***********Stupid***People**********

Anyway, here are some of the alt.stupidity regulars. Some have Web pages, some post only to the newsgroups, and some have mysteriously vanished.

People With Web Pages

• Amp's Asylum is currently only available on the Wayback Machine, but there are rumors that it may return. Meanwhile, his other web site, Ampinstein Industries, now has its own domain! YAY!
• The Lord Jester of Antioc, Anti-JN, Slayer of the fluffy ones. He has the hugest collection of alt.stupidity archives IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! Well, okay, maybe Google's is hugester. But Anti-JN filtered out all the crap and kept the funny ones. Especially the ones with my name in them. Unfortunately, the database is no longer there. If you click on the link, all you'll see is a black screen. Woe. CORRECTION! The database and some pictures are still there! There's just no links to them, but you can get there from here:
• alt.stupidity archives
• some gifs
• Professor Bucketmouth: Musician, historian, communications expert, scientist, famous writer, world traveler, and misguided Martianologist.
• Here is christinA's mumke_place. Alas, most of the pages the Wayback Machine crawled are partially broken. The links work, but pictures are missing. Woe.
• No one has ever trolled this Fish in his own pond -- maybe.
• Jerry Jones used to post in alt.stupidity in the mid '90s, but has been quiet lately. His sig "When the rivers run full, the trout will walk the earth" usually left people confused.
• John Patrick Lodder's Web page: Terse, poetic, wastes no words. WAIT! That's not the way it was! Wayback has added a lot of visible code! Apparently John's web page has not only disappeared, but so has the ripco server. To get an idea of what it used to look like, here is an artist's deception of what you're missing. He does, however, have a new web page on a different server that is almost as terse...and it has a link to some cool photos.
• Jessica's web pages from her Chalmers days are still around, but need some details with DNS and/or static I.P. worked out. Until then, you can see what they looked like in the late '90s by clicking here.
• The Last Danish Pastry's Deviant Art page is worth browsing. So was his π-Squared Over Six page if you are mathematically inclined.
• The Last Viking never gets angry, just even.
• Mircalla Mordenheim, the alt.stupidity vampire, rarely posts in alt.stupidity any more, alas.
• Spatch is the duly-elected god of alt.stupidity. This is his personal Web site on his very own server. It was thunk up on the third floor of a roost somewhere near Barry's Corner in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Or so he sez.
• The Tepid O'Hare Experience of Andy Tatnall. He wants to be Governor, but does he have the accent?

People Without Web Pages

• cabbage used to have a Web page, but it vanished mysteriously.
• HasNoName used to provide a clue about the Firesign Theatre, but his Web page vanished mysteriously. You can no longer go there to shoot a man on the Web.
• Jason Nafziger is by default the alt.stupidity Satan. He used to have a crappy Web page, but it's gone.
• Magnus Mulqvist used to have a web page at http://koti.mbnet.fi/magmul/, but all trace of it has disappeared. Even the Wayback Machine can't find it. And Magnus has also disappeared without a trace. Woe, woe, woe... There are, however, some of his posts still available on Usenet:
  • The Warlorder of alt.stupidty.
  • Odie to Mircalla.
• Michael Roach once tried entering a "World's Largest Roach" contest, but was disqualified for some reason. He once had a Web page with a cool Mentat reference, but dropped it (the page) when he moved to panix.com.
• Nosy refuses to tell the story about the toaster.
• Per Harald Myrvang used to maintain a great Web page, but lost interest in it. It's a sad day when one of the old-timers burns out.

People in the Shadows

• cagey used to post here in the mid-90's, then disappeared without a trace.
• Chester Karma. If that's his REAL name.
• We suspected that Flapjack was really Bob Vila, who was the Butt of many jokes on alt.stupidity. Noah left Vassar and his Web page suffered from link rot. Later, his brother's cat (who was stupider than any ten of us) died. Woe.
• Jeffzilla -- Big, green, mulch.
• Kaj
• Keith Glasson
• Keylime.
• Keylime's Smilies. Spatch started it, Keylime finished it.
• Papa Legba -- Almost a god.
• Paul Kautz once posted in alt.stupidity the story of Spatch's amazing adventures in Europe in 1995 or '96. Alas, they're gone. However, if you dig through ANTI-JN's huge archives you might be able to find them.
• Ross Garmil -- SOCK!
• sdc@teleport.com (Steve Chandler) -- Would have killed for a Hero Robot when he was a kid.
• Tortess -- Gesundheit. (sigh...)
• vehement sack, or maybe Steve Heckman, made everybody in alt.stupidity kill themselves. I don't have the original posts, but (l)Laura figured it out. Shuffle those letters around.
• Yaz Pistachio popped up one summer in the mid '90s, wrote a lot of funny posts, then quietly disappeared. Even her Web page is gone.
