Top 10 Silly Usenet Newsgroup Names

Description: If you log into usenet you can probably get a pretty silly list of of names of alt.* groups. Let's see if we can get a really silly list. Despite what some people have sent in, I'm looking for Usenet names, not website names. So www.hukedonfoniks.com doesn't work, but soc.impediments.speech.huked-on-fonix is fair game.

    Guidelines:
  1. You may have more than one name per entry, but they must be in a heirchy. (Incidentally, a heirchy will count as one group name)
  2. No names of existing newsgroups (even if you just drop the alt.)
  3. E-mail entries to webcomment2020@trevorstone.org with the subject of Contest: Usenet
    The Submissions:
  1. alt.fashion.fabric.patterns.polka.polka.polka. (say it out loud)
