Rad Website of the Week: Ratty’s Queen Memories

ratty

It is no secret that I spent a few of my teenage years being completely, over-the-top obsessed with the rock band Queen. I was lucky enough to see Queen about five times on the Night at the Opera, Day at the Races, News of the World and Jazz tours. My love of all things Queen was so all-consuming, I even knew the names of and biographical details about their roadies, one of whom was nicknamed “Ratty.” So it only took me about three seconds to flash back to the good old late ‘70s when, quite by chance, I came across the website Ratty’s Queen Memories. Here’s an excerpt from the site’s home page by Peter ‘Ratty’ Hince himself:

Bacon Thing of the Day: Join Bacon Nation Dot Com!

Hey do you like bacon? You know I do, because bacon news, products and events are all over this blog: bacon rules my taste buds. Yay bacon! Are you perhaps looking for a way to be more involved in the country’s rapidly growing wave of Bacon Mania? You are? Then maybe you want to join a fun bacon-centric website called Bacon Nation. Bacon Nation isn’t just another Bacon-worshipping blog, but a site that sponsors and promotes bacon-related events – such as the very festive Bacon Takedown recently held in Williamsburg, which was just insane. Plans are currently being developed for a series of Bacon Nation events in eight cities around the U.S. this summer! OMG!

Bacon Nation is currently seeking recruits to the way of the crispy, salty-sweet cured meat, so they are having a contest! The current Bacon Nation member who refers the most new members to the site wins a gift basket of delicious bacon products, two tickets to the Bacon Nation event closest to their home and two tickets to give to a friend who joins the Bacon Nation. I simply must win this prize! Please help me win by clicking over to Bacon Nation and joining right now!

So that I will receive credit and win the coveted Bacon Treats, be sure to enter my name, Gail Worley, in the “who referred you” field on the sign up form. Also, please email your friends and family and ask them to sign up to be a part of the Bacon Nation! They’re planning events on the east coast, west coast and several places in between, so there’s a very good chance the bacon tour will be coming to a town near you this summer! Sizzlin’!

We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties

Hey Kids! If you tried to reach The Worley Gig over the past week and found us mysteriously “off the air,” so to speak, it’s because the server that hosts this site is temporarily fucked and has been booting us off the web intermittently for the past few days at least. What a huge drag! Please bear with us until we get this problem sorted out! Thanks and Happy Easter Weekend!

Awesome Website of the Day: Hello Kitty Hell

I’ve been aware of the Japanese Pop Culture Quest for World Domination that is Hello Kitty for at least 30 years. Hello Kitty is like Starbucks and McDonalds I guess: it’s just everywhere and we’re powerless to stop it. Personally, being several decades over the age of six, Hello Kitty has little effect on my mental state or the manner in which I live my life. Not so much for the creator of Hello Kitty Hell, a pretty fucking fantastic website blog run by a guy whose wife (and I’m assuming she’s at least in her thirties) is completely and thoroughly obsessed with all things Hello Kitty. Running the hilariously entertaining Hello Kitty Hell blog is evidently his source of release from a 24-7-365 Hello Kitty existence that is his own personal living hell. But I guess it’s cheaper than divorce, and a lot funnier, too.
