Boxwars

Boxwars bills itself as "a battle of elite cardboard warriors," and I suppose they're right - though I'm not entirely sure any elite warrior worth their salt would clad themselves in armor made of, well, cardboard. Started in Europe, the site is the world headquarters for a group of folks who periodically dress up in cardboard armor and do SCA-like battle. The site lists a schedule, results of past battles, and even a forum where enthusiasts and fans alike can discuss the ins and out of box-warring, proving once and for all that, occasionally, you actually have more fun if you insist on thinking inside the box.

My Cat Hates You

We've all seen photos (and photos, and photos) of cute little kittens preening for the camera, but now it's time to let their meaner brethren take center stage. Enter My Cat Hates You, a website that highlights the nastier side of your everyday housecat. This homage to cranky tomcats features a plethora of grimacing kitties, all arranged and archived for your viewing pleasure. And when you're done looking at the sourpussies, you can use the site to shop for books and t-shirts about even worse cats - but only if you have the scratch.

Airline Safety Cards

How many of you actually read the little airline instruction cards in the back of the seat in front of you while you're waiting for the plane to take off? Me either, but, thankfully, someone did, and actually managed to make them funny. This site hosts a collection of real airline safety cards, with accompanying verbage altered every-so-slightly (or, in some cases, more than slightly) for your amusement. At least now you'll have something funny to think about in line while the stoner security guard searches your shoes.

Mr. Potato Head

Who doesn't remember Mr. Potato Head? Most kids had one, but eventually discarded the toy when they grew older. Now you can spend hours playing online with the virtual Mr. Potato Head! The site gives you all sorts of eyes, noses, mouths, hats, and eyewear to choose from, in order to make the Mr. Potato Head of your dreams. Even better, when you're tired of this old spud, be sure to load up Mr. Lemon, Mrs. Pepper, or Miss Onion and have a smorgasbord of a good time.

Wow!
It's been over two years since I last posted to Weird Websites, but that's about to change. Starting next Monday, and hopefully every Monday thereafter, you're going to see brand new websites reviewed. Thanks for sticking around, and I hope you enjoy it!
