Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
I realize I'm a few days late with my new RBOTW, but people were just having so much fun with Ms. Boring Blogger (and yes, it appears to be a female - if you read the commments you'll see that a cyberstalker-in-training opened enough of her archive links until she found an entry discussing menses.)
Anyway, here's another gem I stumbled across. Fitting for St. Patrick's Day, coming up tomorrow (and which I'm dreading since I work on the parade route - a guy threw up in front of my building last year....)

The really funny part is reading the comment section. Some people have *no* sense of humour.
Oh my, you're right. I hadn't even read the comments on the post about St. Valentine. That was fun!
I once worked for a company that got attacked by the Catholic League because we were selling a legitimate film called "The Vatican Exposed." It was actually a neutral documentary about life in the Vatican City, but since the title of the film sounded like there was some sort of scandal involved, we started getting hate mail from William Donahue's henchmen. It was scary.
We called his office to try to explain that the film wasn't a negative portrayal. Instead of talking to us, he published in his next newsletter a statement that we had responded to his letter-writing campaign and that we had cried "uncle."
What a fucking asshole. I hope he ends up in hell where he belongs.
I was under the assumption that most of my friends would be spending eternity in Hell. Why would we want to clutter it up with riff-raff like him?
