Pharmboy.org

Sometimes a name is just a name, thus Pharmboy.  Those of us that have been around the internet for a while (BBSing since 1990 or so) often have handles that are a bit unusual yet don't really mean anything.  They started out simply as a name, something to differentiate ourselves from the other faceless masses in IRC, unix TALK sessions or USENET flamewars.  So don't read too much into a name.   It isn't drug related, or farm related (per se).  It is just a name.  A rose by another name would smell just as sweet.  So I am told.

Now that we have cleared up the name issu, it appears that here you are, for some unknown reason.  Perhaps expecting a plethora of wisdom.  Fat chance.  I even had to look up how to spell plethora.  But you are here, likely from some stray link found in a post or god knows where, and you gaze upon the greatness that is pharmboy.org and are likely asking yourself: "who the fuck made this crappy website?".  Tis ok.  It was just something I did to pass the time.  You see, I spend a great deal of time working on real websites, and with no real reason for this website to exist, there is no inspiration for what it should contain.  So it is links, pure links, with no google adwords tags or other profit motives.  Just links, and this brilliant prose as a header.  Perhaps someday it will be truly a website that generates awe from visitors as they gaze upon the brightly colored icons and fact filled pages, but alas, that day is not today.  Today, it is only a page, and the outlook for tomorrow isn't any better.

So thank you for visiting.  I am sorry that I don't have a guestbook for you to sign, or a spinning mailbox that you can click on to email me.  Sadly, I have only links today, but links of the finest quality, imported, and each was hand crafted for you personally.  Go forth and click, and please, have the most pleasant of days.  - Pharmboy
