Wooooow! I have not thought of Maddox in so long. This blows my mind.
I'll never forget the Astro Glide story.
Judging kids artworks will forever be the funniest internet thing, at least in 2004 anyway.
Ding, ding! Here comes the shit-mobile!
Hehehe. That's the hairiest fire engine I've ever seen!
His wasn’t the Astro glide story, but he did link to that site on his page. I can’t remember that dude’s name though.
It was a great story.
Your memory is certainly better than mine. I'm happy enough to have drawn a link between the two. My visits to Maddox's site coincided with the beginnings of my experimentation phase, so I appreciate anything that made it out the other side.
Despite how we might perceive Maddox in the modern day, the site was such a good representation of what the Internet looked like then. That was what content looked like.
I always end up feeling nostalgic when I talk about it.
TUCKER MAX! Holy shit this has been driving me crazy. It just came to me out of nowhere. That’s who wrote it. I could be wrong but I don’t think so. The level of relief I feel makes me confident enough to make this comment before I go digging.
Edit:
I can’t find the story, but we both have a good memory because it’s clear he built his career from that one.
Excellent fucking work, wow. This was like 2002-2003, around there, and so we're twp-plus decades back here. Keep doing whatever you're doing, it's working.
I'll edit too: I may have attributed some negativity to Maddox (although I think he was a self-proclaimed asshole), but Tucker Max is the one who for sure went a bit off the deep end, I recall he ended up writing a book. Pretty much just frat guy personified.
He wrote 3 The sushi pants story is still my favorite but tucker max is a pile of shit
I swear, I was standing outside having a smoke and bitching to my wife about how your comment was driving me insane. “Babe, I’m thinking it was Tucker, but all I can come up with is Tucker Carlson and, well, we both know that isn’t…MAX. It’s fucking TUCKER MAX!!! That’s it! I know that’s it!”
Haha, I swear I was going insane. It was on the tip of my tongue.
The relief I felt, oh my god!
