From the dusty backhall archives of Internet lore

I can't believe this page is still in existence.

An absolute classic from the early days when the entire web was just simple static HTML put up on industrious college students' websites, its rustic look and feel are as fittingly cold and simplistic as the message it gets across. Ten or so years later, and a couple thousand miles away, the page is as timeless and constant as its subject matter:

"I Just Want to be Friends" - Joelogon's Foolproof Guide to Making Any Woman Your Platonic Friend.

God bless you, Joe Logon, wherever you may be today. I'm not sure I could ever manage this tricky feat without your step-by-step guide. Oh wait... yeah, I manage it all the time. But at least it's good to know I'm not alone. Well... yeah, I guess I am, otherwise I wouldn't be digging up this dusty ol' page every couple of years. heh.

Feck it, anyways... thanks for still being there for a laugh.
