Ready for another round? Here are the rules. Link-Fu (which is now officially "wired", not tired, not expired) is an online competition where during a predetermined period of time — in this case, Friday January 16 — you send us a url that links to a very weird something, somewhere. Some online gem that's intriguing, fascinating, and cool. Something we haven't seen before.
Judges: Warren Ellis, Invisible Cowgirl, Mark, and yours truly. We declare a winner based on whatever we happen to like best. Not the grossest, not neccesarily Farkish or Rotten. Just the flat-out most bizarre — though grotesquery is not neccesarily out of the question. The winner wins the title of High Master of Link-Fu, until we hold the next battle — here's a list of previous winners.
So, if you'd like to compete in the website smackdown — e-mail the funkiest, most potently bizarro url-age you can find to linkfubattle@yahoo.com on Friday January 16. We will announce the winner Monday morning. May the Fu-est Fu win.
