An Alternative World

This site about popular music, created by a high-school senior, rivals sites created by bands and record companies. Not merely a list of favorite groups, An Alternative World presents a weekly Top 20 list of songs chosen using a "secret formula." Sections called "The Summit" and "Hall Of Fame" highlight the chart's top performers and include lyrics for many of the songs. Visitors are encouraged to participate in the rating, and there's even a fun contest. A lot of thought and dedication went into the creation of this site, and it shows in both content and design.

Cyberpump!

www.geocities.com/Colosseum/4000/index.html

This combination of High Intensity Training (HIT) and powerlifting site is not for wimps; but then again, maybe it is, since it offers tips on how to start. Refreshingly the trainers here aren't focused on selling bogus products or making unrealistic claims. The training is serious, but the tone is light. Spirited and irreverent writing includes a "Follies" section that mocks muscle mags and Hans-and-Franz types who just want to "pump you up."

Here is a laugh-out-loud spoof of an ill-fated attempt to add lyrics to the Star Wars theme. Lucas rejected the proposed lyrics, which were definitely not as much fun as these:

Star-Wars-Talk-ing-'bout-Star-Wars/the-big-hair-y-guy-and-the-guy-with-the-g un. They've-got-a-sword that looks like-a-flash-light/ the-chick-with-the-ear-muffs-and-the-old-decrepit-man.... ...and-Lu-u-u-uke-blew-ew-ew-it-up a-and-Han-saved-his-ba-acon A-and-they-all-got-medals-in-a-nice-ceremony/ A-and-Leia-kissed-her-bro-other-on-the-lips.'

Misha's Canine Site!

Misha is getting Very popular thanks to Geocities, also her Pictures in her Virtual dogshow entry (Fall'96) was Featured on "Kurt the cyber-guy" A syndicated Television News Segment in the U.S. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/2376 received Honorable Mention on Canada Am Television Show!

Yet another vision: a television show. Here's the pitch. Two roommates/pals, Janet and Chrissy, take in a third roommate, a wacky guy named Jack. Janet and Chrissy's landlords, the Roper's, don't approve of this situation and so Jack's sexuality must remain ambiguous. The three roommates go on to become fast and furious friends, though their days are filled with zany misunderstandings and good, old-fashioned growing pains - all great fodder for the television series. Years later a fan of this show will create a web site. He'll call it Three's Company Online. Simple as that.

THE COMPLETE X-FILES PAGE!

It might take longer to scroll through this compendium of star bios, trivia, and cross-references than to watch a season's worth of X-Files reruns. But just in case not quite everything you've ever wanted to know about Scully and Mulder (and such FBI- and paranormal-related topics as the Roswell UFO crash) is here, the Paris-based page designer has amassed more to other sites than the Bureau has leads on that mysterious sewer-dwelling man-eater.
