Scrollin' with the Homies

Sorry for my horrible wordplay off of the famous Clueless scene.

giphy.com

Man, Jeremy Sisto was a fetus!  Always hot though....rawr.  I highly suggest if you happen to be a fan of him, you go on YouTube and just enter his name.  He is known for doing some friggin' hilarious NSFW YouTube vids as favors for his friends.  I Know Sisto comes to mind but it's not for prudes and the last scene always makes me cry laughing because it's super random.

Anyhoo...

I was in my browser and saw a folder of bookmarks from a laptop transfer from about 8 years ago or so.  I decided to see what kind of stuff was bookmark worthy back then if the links worked, which a lot of them didn't.

Caveman's Crib.  This was a page on Geico's website purely dedicated to the cavemen they used to use for their commercials which the Mr and I LOVED.  (Then they tried to make it into an actual show and ruined it.)  But this is still one of our favorite commercials ever with the awesome Royksopp's Remind Me as the perfect song.

Speaking of which, I also saw the AdTunes bookmark which we used in the golden age of awesome music used for commercials from about 2005-2009.    It's still up and running so if you see a commercial with a song you like and can't find it in a regular Google search, check there.

ELance is now Upwork.

Essence Furnishings is apparently defunct and I was bummed because I saw I bookmarked a sofa so I wanted to see what my style was then.  After scrolling through a list of hard no's with the same name, I stumbled upon this and it jogged my memory.  When we were turning the guest room into an office, I looked at this as a potential purchase to still have a place to sit while having the option to futon down for guests.  Our hatred of houseguests won and if you want to stay with us, I'd say "sofa city, sweetheart."  (Points if you got the reference.)

Sadly, Mr. Pineapple.com where I used to get Maui pineapples is kaput.

I remember when we had a skunk issue and I bookmarked this.   Our HOA used the same thing to release him "in a field."  Mmm-hmm.  At least his last meal was Lucky Charms that I fed him.

OMG, I can't believe these people are still renting and that website format hasn't been updated!  I bookmarked this one for the 2 bedroom on the left.  It's the condos we usually stay at when we go.  Hmm, next year is our 25th.

I remember when I was super into bentos and I used this site for lots of great ideas.  It's not updated but a fun source especially for parents and grandparents who want to make the kids lunch fun.

I have zero idea why I bookmarked this (the link to the specific person was dead) but I was stalking some celebs outfit, I guess.  Don't ever remember doing that, I must've stumbled upon it somehow but cool if you want to try to dress like your favorite celeb (some of the stuff is actually quite affordable!) or curse the amount of disposable income they have.  More importantly, how the hell do people find out every aspect of a person's outfit?  I'd go insane doing that job!

I guess I dreamed of being a caretaker at a posh resort at one time???

A really sad folder to look at was the 25th-anniversary one.  We were going to renew our vows at the church at Coco Palms where Elvis got married in Blue Hawaii.  That has been tied up in litigation, squatters and shitty investors for over a decade now with broken promises of "soon."  Well, even if they broke ground today, it wouldn't be soon enough to be ready for us next year.  I was lamenting the other day with my friend who is getting married on Kauai in a few months how our generation got screwed.  We grew up with big parties thrown for couples celebrating their 25th anniversary.  Granted, it was usually thrown by their kids but still.  We just always assumed we'd have one.  Now, times have changed.  No one gives a crap about going to a party like that and I haven't even heard of one in well over a decade when my aunt and uncle had theirs.  I have zero desire of draining our bank account to throw a vanity party.  I always envisioned we'd renew our vows, film it and play it for a reception we'd have back here where we'd enter in the same outfits we wore that day.  But the people I'd want to party with are scattered across the country, there are complicated relationships between people we're close friends with and ignorant family members and it just wouldn't be a good time.  Couple that with people who would be all butthurt they didn't get an invite because we can't stand them.  Sigh.  We can't really go anywhere big because we'll be a few months back from VT and wouldn't be able to save up to do what we want.  I won't say dreams change, I'll just say shit happens, you get screwed and all that really matters is the Mr and I made it to 25.  (Assuming we do and the world hasn't blown up by then.)

Movin' on...

I totally forgot about Collage Video!

Oooh, I have some bananas that are ready!  This is in my future!

HA!!  There was a link to my shady ex-SIL's now banned eBay account.  She was selling family heirlooms and stuff the BIL didn't know about.  Nutbag.

Forgot about this too.  If you have too many tees that you have attachments to or a loved one has passed and you don't want to just donate their t-shirts, this place does T-shirt quilts.

Well, that's enough for one day.  I hope I haven't bored you and maybe inspired you to go back through your old bookmark folder and get rid of dead links and laugh at some stuff when you think "why the hell did I bookmark that?!"

What's the weirdest/funniest thing you've got bookmarked?
