Yes, these are those people that are on the front lines every single day with the Widgeman fighting against intolerance, ignorance and caffeine-free soft drinks. So show your support and pay 'em a visit!

• Barry Ween.  One of Needcoffee.com's favorite comic heroes. It's Barry Ween, Boy Genius, and his manic adventures.  Brought to you by Judd Winick, a very sick and depraved individual.  We respect him so.  Go quickly.

• The Brunching Shuttlecocks.  A humor site chocked full of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and more than twice the RDI of satire.  Hell, it's part of this balanced midnight fridge raid!

• Bunny Survival Tests.  No, not real bunnies.  Even the Widgeman has his limits... somewhere.  Anyway, just as the TWINKIE Project (featured below and on the Discovery Channel) tell us what the true nature of Twinkiedom is, so the BST prepares for the day when marshmellow bunnies rise up, George Romero-like, to take down humanity.

• The Bureau of Missing Socks.  You've known something was strange for years.  Your dryer is like Thunderdome--two socks enter, one sock leaves.  These people can help you.

• Cruel Site of the Day.  Each morning as you snort your coffee grinds in a vain attempt to be able to stand fully erect, don't forget to check in with these maniacs.  One word: "Unatubby."  Now go there.

• The Daily Outrage.  Every single day, I hear that voice.  You know that voice.  No, not that voice.  The other voice.  Right, that voice.  That voice that tells you, "Widge," no it doesn't call you Widge-- I'm Widge -- it tells me, "Widge, why must we consume mass quantities of caffeine in order to make our eyes bulge out of our heads?  Is there a better way?"  Then, every single day, I receive my mailing from the Daily Outrage--and then I go get a double mocha coffee with all the trimmings--to feel better.  Check 'em out!

• The Death Clock. What flagrant morbidity is this?  Feel like you're not in a hurry?  Check this out--it'll make you get off your ass and get to work.  Your time is limited, amigo.

• Encyclopedia of Discordia.  This site contains information on the Discordian movement than you can shake a Golden Apple at.  Also has the entire text of the Principia Discordia.  Huzzah.

• Future Web.  Wild speculation? Fanciful dreaming? Or...the next one thousand years? Come check out what could be your future, put together by J.R. Mooneyham. Cool reading, to be sure.

• Evil People, INC (tm).  You only thought you knew true evil.  That's right.  Your ex-significant other has nothing on these whackos.  They're the real deal.  And they know who you are.

• The Flummery Digest.  A veritable cornucopia--yes, a plethora of stuff designed to make you slap your forehead in disgust.  Or better yet--make you slap someone else's forehead in disgust.  Go see and read all the news that's not fit to occur...

• The Fray.  A very nicely orchestrated online art emporium where it not only is chocked full of good reading material--but it looks kick-ass.  So kick-ass they even have an anthropomorphic coffee cup as an icon for their "drugs" section.  Who could ask for anything more?  Go see 'em.

• Joe Cartoon.  The sickest Shockwave cartoon site on the Net, bar none.  These are the kind of twisted shorts that will despoil the minds of generations to come.  Highly recommended.

• Landover Baptist Church.  And you thought the Onion was frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog.  Oh no, you only thought you knew wrong.  Go here and keep telling yourself: "It's only a joke, it's only a joke..."

• Mr. T vs....  One of the sickest things going.  Go see Mr. T protect the American way from Highlander and Quake.  Ubertwisted, I'm telling you now.

• My Boot.  Ever wonder where all the really twisted stuff went when they did the Sickness Roundup on the Net last fall?  Wonder no more.  Go for the movies, stay for the fun.

• News of the Weird.  You've seen Chuck Shepard and his work.  This is some of the strangest, most obtuse stuff out there.  And what's frightening is--it's all real.  Go to his home on the Web and enjoy stories of human stupidity and inanity at their finest.

• ParaScope.  For the latest on what's going on in global conspiraces, alien abductions, black helicopters, Tonya Harding's life (I'm kidding on the last, of course--but just barely)--check this place out.  Fnord.  It's comprehensive, it's thorough, and it might just frighten you badly.  Good stuff.

• Poke Alex in the Eye!  That bastard, Alex!  We've had enough of him and his shenanigans.  We don't even know what shenanigans are, really.  We've had enough of them, though.  Go and give him what for!

• Red Meat.  A very twisted site, straight from the secret files of Max Cannon.  See strange, floating glowing skulls; psychotic milkmen; insane ministers and more.  Just remember, no matter how sick it gets...real life is sicker.

• RinkWorks.  Okay, not only do they have a database of Computer Stupidities, not only do they have a Filmmaker's Exam which would save me a lot of headaches in the Reviews section, but they have the prized Book-a-Minute SF/F Archives, with ultra-condensed classics.  Sick, sick people.  Go say hi.

• SatireWire.  We first discovered this little gem when we read their interview with a search engine. No, we're not kidding. And it's just gotten sicker ever since. When you need laughs to get the blood pumping, here's your second stop. Because we're first. Right? Um, right?

• SETI@home.  Have fun and go alien-hunting.  In your spare time.  No really.  Help out in something that would make Arthur C. Clarke smile like the mad genius he is. 

• The Talkmaster's Lair.  If you don't get Neal Boortz at a station near you, go get him in streaming audio. His morning talk show does not pull any punches on political or social issues, and the year-end wrap-ups on CD are collector's items.  Go check out his site for his latest diatribes about the news, not to mention various and sundry other irreverant tidbits.

• Too Much Coffee Man.  This guy is my hero, okay?  He lives the life that you and I can only dream of!  Fighting crime!  Drinking coffee!  Um...sitting around and vegetating...Regardless, he's a superstar and he's here on the web for your edification.  So go, it's a riot.

• The T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project.  One of Forbin's all-time favorites.  Go here and witness the mad scientist antics that asked the taboo question:  "What the hell is a Twinkie?  And how will we deal with them if they decide to rise up against mankind?!?"  Actually, to be honest, I don't know what they were thinking--just go.

• 2 Skinnee J's Army Radio Hour.  When we need to stay awake around Needcoffee.com, we just crank up the CD's of this group and start popping and leaping about, frightening the children.  Be a champion!

• The Ultimate Bad Candy Web Page.  Two guys from Southern California make the world angry as they dis candy from all over.  I can relate.  Go there and be forewarned, because knowing is half the battle.  The other half is, of course, kicking ass.

• United Devices. These guys have the software that's running on my computer when I'm not using it. They're using distributed computing to try and help find a cure for cancer. Go here and download their software to pitch in for your own bad selves.
