Favourite weird websites.

Having just come back from a lengthy Christmas visit to Scarfolk... cheers Diogo...what are your favourite "off the beaten track" websites?
Scarfolk kept me occupied for many hours...probably because of the age related relevance to my sad northern upbringing.
Would you be so kind as to give us a few to begin with Diogo, I need something to read with my new big jug of Jenkem.
Thought this might be best in the Tavern, due to the strange humour within Scarfolk and other such places.
 
...And I did mean more in the line of Scarfolk.
As a kid I used to love buying the odd weird title, Yachting Monthly or Popular Mechanics, then I got stuck in the Fortean Times/Viz rut.
 
Oh wow, that makes the Flat Earth Society look perfectly sane! (I won't even dignify them with a link. As crackpot theories go, chemtrails is more plausible).

Maybe not "weird", but I found this gem the other night. The tale of Old Man Henderson. It's the story of how someone build a character specifically to **** up the GM's game of Trail of Cthulhu. May not make much sense to people who don't play tabletop RPGs, but when I read it in bed I had to stop several times and bite the pillow so as not to wake @Kelpie with my laughter. Be sure to read the extended "directors cut" as well as the shorter first version. It may help if, like me, you instantly imagine Henderson as sounding like Hunter S. Thompson.



EDIT:
Been looking through my bookmarks, and found this. I have no idea when or why I bookmarked it, or what the hell I was searching for when I found it.
Do you need to buy or hire genuine medical equipment as a "prop"? Do you want a realistic human or animal corpse? How about a zombie? Need a gillutine or electric chair?

... And do you like your gory props advertised with leather clad models draped over them looking seductive / scary [delete according to your tastes] while licking a knife?
.... Yeah. Enjoy.

Ten out of ten so far folks...if anyone has any more...
Just bookmarked the topic.
What about obscure user groups, I remember going on a lift (as in otis) fan site, and escalators anonymous or something.
 
There is a forum for everything if you search hard enough.

Though I still think the strangest "enthusiasm" I've ever seen was videos looking through the door of various washing machines...
"Here's a Hotpoint ML17a on a 40' spin cycle!"
"Full length uncut Bosch B245 Super Eco, 20Kg towel load, 60' with pre rinse and extra spin."
... Etc. Mentioning no names. ;)
 
Worst things for sale.com, Oh wow, just coming up for air...gone back to 2013...I want loads of this stuff...especially bacon jelly.
Nice one Mr Jones!
...And I know I'm an old man, well out of the loop, but creepypastas has given me the odd strange dream as well.
Enough food here to see me out of the winter, cheers all.
 
Oh wow, you can buy fizzy bacon drink tablets...theworstthingsforsale...
Thank you again for wasting hours of my time Mr Jones!
 
Wow...Worstthingsforsale...(april16) they even sell caltrops...Diogo word of the week for early January 2017.
Might get one to ease tailgaters.
And cheers again Mr Jones...I'm up to mid 2016, only eighteen months to go!
