I just realized that nobody has ever made a thread about this before! What do you think of the site Thoraxcorp.com? Even among all the rabid H*R fans I doubt many of you had read that much. It actually is very funny. Especially the Produkts™ section. Here's some especially quotable stuff from those text files:

Here's how it works:

-Tell a fiend about THORAX CORPORATION LLC,,.
-Lie to them until they give you a check made out to Gent Delabor, Sr.
-Send us that check (US Dollars only! Canadian currency will be spit
on and returned!)
-We'll cross out the amount your friend wrote and write down how
much we really want.
-Now it's your turn!
-Try and grow a third arm.
-Take one of your own blank checks and make it out to yourself.
-Now cross out the amount you wrote and write down how much you
really want.
-Take that check TO THE BANK!!
-Repeat until optimum Stardom is achieved.

It's really that easy! Do it from home, in your spare time, or whenever
we call you! If you tell one friend, that's only one check. But if you
tell 12 friends, that's at least 5 CHECKS!! Imagine, spend money you never even earned and live like a true Burger King!



Roffle.


Oh, also: Does anyone else think that blurred picture of "Gent Delabor" looks a lot like Matthew Perry? Or am I just weird? Or both?

The second one. Doesn't look like him to me.

I've looked at the website a couple times before, but not recently (Except just looking a second ago to see Gent's picture) It was pretty funny.

He looks more like a fuzzed up picture of Sean Hannity.

Looking at both Matt and "Gent's" pictures, I still don't see much resemblance between the two. He does look like that Sean guy, though.

Hmmmmm.......


THE PLOT THICKENS.


But anyway, what about the site in general? Not toastpainting anything, just asking what you think of all the other hilarious crap there.


Also, note how Gent's picture is actually an animated GIF made to look like the picture is loading slowly. :P


....Where's that webpage where it matches up your face with a bunch of celebrity faces? That might be useful here. It was mentioned once in a thread, I believe..... I'm gonna go search for it.
EDIT: I found it, but when I scanned the image, no matches were found. Maybe someone should just email the TBC (not Strong Bad, the TBC) and ask them....... that depends on how much email they get a day. It must be less than SB, but it still might be a lot.

I SAY, JASPER, WHAT IS A THORAX ANYWAY?

Insects are divided up into 3 different parts. The HEAD, the THORAX, and the ABDOMEN. The THORAX is the head of the insect. And that's what THORAX CORPORATION LLC,,. is all about. Getting you a HEAD of the rest.

------

Love it. Pure TBC gold.

You need to go back to 6th Grade and learn about insects.

The Thorax is the part that is between the head and the abdomen. It is the center of the insect.

The thorax is a division of an animal's body that lies between the head and the abdomen.

You misinterpreted me. That content is pasted from http://www.thoraxcorp.com/emission.html . That's why I loved it, because I got the joke. We cool? We're cool. :cheatgrin:

Pure gold indeed. Every website should be set up like Thorax, seriously.

Would it be sacrelegious if I said that I didn't find it funny? Seriously, I think TBC have a kind of humor that really only works when it's spoken. It just seems... I dunno when you have to read it.

Too bad your sig is over 100kb. You're going to need to change that.
