I know I keep bringing up the mid-90's-era Internet, but a brief search for Wilford Brimley on Google gave me this gem:
Wilford Brimley World
The best part is the link section. How can I not click on such witty hypertext? Links were the best way to make a web page look pro back then. This guy must've creamed his pants thinking of all the cool things he could show people online that not only reflected his varied tastes, but also his supreme knowledge of the internet. Also, just a reminder that obnoxious Facebook profiles actually predate Facebook.
I really want to find this guy. Part of me wants to think that he hasn't left his parents' basement since 1998 and his internet connection is frozen in time to only those websites that existed at that point. What a rock star.
This is exactly what every person from 14 to 25 was doing with their time back then. Making websites showcasing our deepest interests that nobody else on earth could possibly share.
The design is probably inspired by the same guy who invented the Starter jacket: background color with mismatching text hues, the animated .gif, even low-resolution vidcaps - connected with links! Great use of Hulk Hogan - DO YOU REMEMBER HIM?? INTERNET!!!!! Angelfire is a classy hosting touch, too.

Wilford...I am so, so sorry
