ZANGZ'S FAVORITE LINKZ
Here you will find many of the odd places I love to peruse while online.  I think you will find most of them fun and very amusing!  Feel free to visit them if you wish.

The ones that are marked
*NEW* are the most recent links added.  The links marked with a  !!!!! are the ones I visit most often as well as think you’ll get a big kick out of also.

PLEASE NOTE:  I’ve tried hard to make sure there are no links that could be found offensive to the majority of normal, open-minded people.  However...

PARENTS, Please make sure you monitor your children while they’re on the web so the government doesn’t have to do it for all of us and destroy our First Amendment rights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With that being said...

OK kids strap in and hold on! Here we go…

Star Trek.com
I’ve never been a big Trekkie.  I guess I was kind of into Next Generation if I had to choose one of the series.  But, I guess this wouldn’t be an official Vault of Geekdom without something referring to Star Trek.  So here it is….
