Where do you guys go for laughs?
Fark used to crack me up daily and now it's just sad.

I could use a laugh! Balance man!

4. Streaking.
Not really, but it sounds like fun. Then again, so does coed naked bowling, but you would need to wear shoes and it obviously would involve a serious quantity of beer.

6. I like maxkeiser.com
I can have a great laugh and get caught up on what is going on in the world.

Keiser is brilliant and he is so damn funny.

10. Try out these Amazaon product reviews for the pepper-sprayer.
Makes the perfect stocking stuffer for the authoritarians in your life but, HURRY, only 5 left in stock:

http://www.amazon.com/Defense-Technology-56895-Stream-Pepper/product-reviews/B0058EOAUE/ref=cm_rdp_hist_hdr_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

The 1-star and 5-star reviews are simply priceless.

19. I Find Cracked.com to be Funny and Informative
even if you can take issue with the way certain articles are written.

www.tastefullyoffensive.com/ is not very substantial, but has some fun stuff.

40. If You're On Fark
I guess you are familiar with xkcd.com and Lileks.com. James Lileks seems to have added so much to his schedule that his free content has gone downhill, but it's a huge site and keeps accumulating material. I particuarly love the matchbooks, postcards, and other ephemera.

Theoatmeal.com also is a good internet comic site, although it's just one guy so it doesn't grow that fast.

I also check back every few weeks to catch up on Doonesbury.com. Doonesbury doesn't have the cachet it did in the 70s and 80s, but it's still very enjoyable IMO and you can go all the way back in the archives.
