Searches for web pages without JavaScript. The Surprise me! option is fun for finding random ass old sites too

Love to take some wiby dives from time to time.

This time I landed on this cute little page for a married couple that posted newsletters and stuff for family and friends. Basically, they made their own Facebook page and bought a domain with their name and everything, been running it since like the mid 2000s it looks like. Even a whole ham radio section the husband put together. I was enjoying it till it became increasingly clear these two are fairly wealthy and I lost interest.

You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to bathe. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, Dave.

Better email her right away!

Edit: I clicked the link, it's a comedian's Patreon. Alan Wagner, never heard of him.
