The Britt Show

Alas, the Britt and Leslie Show has been rent in twain. Split down the middle. Violently bisected. We've gone our separate ways. Parted company. Diverged. Said hasta la vista. Sayonara. Aufwiedersehen. Toodle-loo.

Yet, somehow, life marches on. So, alone and forlorn, I plant a flag and declare this, my web presence, to be The Britt Show.

Check out the Infospace Homepage, which Lollie webmasters!

Okay, okay . . . enough living in the past. Here's cool stuff you might like to look into.

• Beings I know :
  • Britt Rebecca Scharringhausen (Not that I think I'm terribly "cool". . . in fact, I think that I have transcended such concerns. But judge for yourself, if a person's "coolness" is important in your little world.)
  • My friends
  • My family.
  • My cat . . .including a new elementary particle : the kitton, and "What cats are really interested in."
• How I spend my free time:
  • Getting snarled up in String figures.
  • Gaming:
    • The Cornell Strategic Simulation Society
    • Amber Diceless Roleplaying.
      • Here's a a little online magazine we like to call

  • The Elephant Sanctuary, a home for old, sick or needy elphants in Tennessee.
  • For a leaner, meaner, quicker-loading web page that takes up less disk space, use the NetMechanic Image Optimizer.
    Learn from my mistakes: If you're resizing images with HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes different from the original image size, make sure to save a copy of the original in case the optimized image doesn't look so nice when it's resized.
  • A rant on free speech and the internet.
  • WISER: Women in Science and Engineering Resource. Our goal is for every Cornellian woman to graduate with a positive experience in science.
  • Atheism and my views thereon.
• And some random strangeness
  • Behold, the Naked Dancing Llama

  • And now for something completely different:
    The Random Monty Python Skit Server.
  • If I'm not around here's your source for Real Genius quotes.
  • I've adopted Tina the Troubled Teen, updated daily, courtesy of Brunching Shuttlecocks.
    
  • Religion is the opium of the masses . . . and the Temple of Herman has the best dope in town.
  • The Onion, America's Finest News Source. If I tried to think up something funny to say about this good a parody it would end up sounding stupid and could be viscously mocked by the staff. Just go read it.

• My namesakes
  • Cuppa Joe? No way! Get a cuppa Britt at Café Britt

  • Here's a Britt who seems to have nothing in common with me whatsoever (except our names). He's even a boy. Eww . . . cooties.
  • Britt's Industries is (I kid you not) the largest supplier of lottery books in the United States. They also offer information on Multilevel Marketing sca-- I mean, schemes.

  • A Britt with whom I have much in common!
  • Are you a Britt? Do you have a web page? Email me! Are you a Scharringhausen? Any way you spell it, email me whether or not you have a web page!
