Okay, this is a shameless vanity, but let me explain. One of my favorite hobbies is collecting strange, offbeat, quirky, weird, funny, or otherwise oddball websites and locales on the internet. So, where better to ask about that sort of thing than the home of the quirky - FreeRepublic ;)
So, with that in mind, I'm asking everyone to kick in with their favorite offbeat or weird site. Anything that makes you laugh, chuckle, or just go "hmmm" is fine. And to get everyone started, and in the spirit of sharing, below is a list of a few that I have in my collection - many of which you've probably seen before, but maybe there's some new ones for you. So let's have 'em!
