Silly Site o' the Day

I didn't sleep at all well, but I'm nonetheless psyched for my late morning interview. Hope the rain holds off. Sometimes readers make silly sites a lot easier for me. Tod Wicks nominated his online zine The Ecphorizer, which I vaguely remember from my INSIDE JOKE print zine days, and which has some humor pieces like this one, but I'm not sure the site itself is silly per se, rather than just creative and well-rounded. Silly Site sighting is a rare talent, it's the ability to find that je ne sais quoi and "know it when you see it." Take Budgie, for instance. There's absolutely no mistaking that this is, indeed, a silly site. Nothing happens until you click on one or more of the animated silly-looking horses, and the result is absolutely meaningless but a lot of fun. Just perfect. And, like Budgie, I'm fairly sure I posted this one a couple years ago as well...
