About Anti-Joke
Anti-Joke is a new new site, much like that of a newborn lamb, but without all the goo and mess. I'll constantly be adding content from myself and other readers. The name was originally going to be "Barber's Chair" (for reasons still unbeknownst to myself), but after realizing I wasn't going to find a vector image of a barber's chair, the lazy part of my mind took over and simply changed the name. The - now satirical - name goes nicely with the theme, as with the logo. The color scheme mainly came from my love of green. Yes, this site is white and green. If you've got a problem with it, go away. It's my site, my preference. Thank you.
Anti-Joke began on March 21, 2005 as a crudely organized humor site. The slogan, although cheesy, was "Who cares why the chicken crossed the road?". The first logo can been seen below:
I had much work to do. A day after I finished the first template, I realized I had entirely too much difficulties with it, since it was an expandable template, which fit perfectly in every screen resolution, and browser. I scraped that one, and started on this template.
Now was my time to start getting some content on here. I had already set up the basic pages to get an idea of where I wanted the site to go. Now my problem was what I was going to put in. I had no clue where to start. Should I make an image, write an article? If I'd write an article what should I write? So I wrote the first thing that came to mind, flu shots. This was the only thing I could do for now. I took an instant messenger coversation I had with someone and put it up as well. Then the site became abandoned for exactly one month!
I realized I hadn't worked on it in that period of time, and I knew I had put too much time into making it, and perfecting it to let it go to waste. Then that's when it took over my life. Every second was spent searching for something to write about, and thats just what I did. I wrote. And wrote. I must of written 20 articles, yet only a couple had enough quality to be added to this site. Yes, I am that uptight that I'll barely add my own content here, I want stuff that's good quality.
Now let's dive into the mind of the site creator, me. I am an aspiring web designer and I update Anti-Joke in my spare time. I met the queen on England, made a palace guard laugh, invented the periodic table, and masterminded the 'drink' simple named, 'Loller Juice'. Few dare to speak of it's name. These are but a few of my numerous accomplishments. Oh, and I created Anti-Joke, fancy that.
And so we come to the current time. This site is getting on it's feet, and we're (let me refer to Anti-Joke as a group. I feel special that way...I mean 'we feel special that way') getting a much bigger repeat visitor number. Hopefully we'll grow larger and even have an active forum base. Until then, I'll be adding content even after the cows come home. But with that, who cares why the chicken crossed the road?
