    The website was homestarrunner.com and before YouTube, we used to just manually check the website. It was part of my day to check and see if anything new was on the site Also notable was that they never advertised. Their entire operation was done by word-of-mouth, in a time where there were no Facebook or reddit or YouTube or anything. The internet was a lot more wild then.

    Homestarrunner ("It's dot com!"), Weebl and Bob, nuklearpower, Joe Cartoon, Bob and George... it was a different world.

    Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White
    And Monty Python and the Holy Grail's black knight
    And Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie
    And Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie
    Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
    Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
    Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan
    Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
    All came out of nowhere lightning fast
    And they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass

    It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw

    With civilians looking on in total awe

    Well the fight raged on for a century

    Many lives were claimed, but eventually

    A champion stood, the rest saw their better

    I sometimes find myself humming/singing Mr.Weebl songs and my wife is like "Who the fuck is Magical Trevor?" and I'm like "You had to be there to understand, don't worry about it"
