Totally, terribly awesome, because that's what 90% of geocities sites looked like. Cry.

Oh, Xkcd. I don't understand half the math jokes, but it's an awesome comic.

*SNERK* oh man, it took me a while to realize what they'd done hehehehehe. I don't visit the site very often, so I didn't realize other than the cheezy stars, but lol all that other stuff. Jesus, it's so true.

I definitely LOL'd ... although it seems to me that it's not just a reflection on Geocities, as much as it is a parody of web sites in general from 1998

The only thing it's missing is an endlessly looping embedded midi with no controls. :3

Oh ye gods I'm so glad he didn't go THAT far. That would have been just too much, going from "hah, lol" to "AUGHWTFDIE"... just like all those old pages.

*sigh* I feel very, very mixed about this. On one hand, woot! A bit less clutter on the internet. On the other hand, groan, so much information and history lost...

Ugh not the midi's! My lizard's vet's website has one of those for some ungodly reason. HATE.
