Come on, you know you're sluffing off on the job... in fact, according to a recent study, most workers are now spending up to half their time at work on the internet for personal reasons. So, personally... you get bored just like we do, right? Well, here's what several of tfn's staffers recommend in order to kill a slow afternoon:

 

D.J.: My favorite website is, uh... hell... I really like aintitcoolnews.com because I'm the ULTIMATE NEEEEEEURD and like to know what's going on with genre type movies and shit. I'm a dork for a sneak peek at the new Batman movie, you know?
I mean-- thefootnote.com! That's my favorite site! EVER! Closely followed by tlchicken.com! Then, in third, purelard.net!!! Yeah. Them's my faves. Good times all.

 

Heather: My real favorite website is dictionary.com because it has endless range in not only defining words and acronyms, but providing us with a lovely thesaurus as well, but because I have this strange inkling that this will also be Laura's favorite website, I'm going to go with everyone's favorite probably overrated college staple, homestarrunner.com because Strong Bad seems to be some type of demi-god. And because I got bored one day and decided to name my guitar after Marzipan's guitar, Carol. So, in sum, go watch Teen Girl Squad. It's SOOOOO GOOD!

 

Cousy: I wish I had something cool to forward along, but I really just don't. My bland sports self, usually surfs around tsn.ca for hockey news and metroboards.com for blue jackets banter. When looking for long term website fun, I go to whatifsports.com, a sim site for sports. You can pit the `62 Yankees vs the '03 Cubs and see if Steve Bartman interfers. Or try the Season Two Blue Jackets against the Season Three Blue Jackets and see which teams really is worse.

 

Fingers: ESPN.com's Page 2 is probably where I spend most of my time. I don't have internet at work, so I have to read it at home. That kind of sucks, because the wife likes to hog the computer.

 

Anthony: My favortie website is probably fark.com, because you can waste oh-so-much time with Photoshop contests and flamewars. Other favorites include The Onion, homestarrunner.com, ebaumsworld.com, and buddyhead.

 

Dustin: Well, fark.com is my default start-up page. I also dig moviepoopshoot.com, because it keeps me informed about everything from movies to comics. The other two I can strongly recommend are x-entertaiment, because Matt writes some of the funniest stuff I've ever read, and wilwheaton.net, because, hey--it's Wil Wheaton and he's cool.
