Chronicles of Georgehttp://chroniclesofgeorge.nanc.com/index.htm
The Chronicles of George has a simple, clean, easy to follow design with no gimmicks or do-dads. And they're unnecessary because the humor is completely self-contained to the one and only George, which is a pseudonym for some poor schlep working a computer Help Desk. George is, apparently, a moron and on this page one of the administrators is having a go at his numerous, incredibly weird, horribly spelled and maniacally funny help tickets. George proves (in this case anyway) that when you call tech support that niggling thought in the back of your mind, "The person on the other end of the phone is an idiot," is completely warranted (the tech support person is thinking the exact same thing, by the way). Even if you are not fluent in the ways of the CPU, these things are worth it for the mangled English alone (the fun-to-say word "havening" makes frequent appearances). Adding to the hijinks are the snide, obviously frustrated comments of the Webmaster who has to decipher George-speak. Before you get all pissed at the thought of picking on somebody, be sure to read the FAQ and be afraid that he's a qualified technician. Be very afraid.
