  • The Webmaster

    The Webmaster
    Who is the Webmaster? A good question, and one best answered by breathing the acrid fumes of history. Take a good sniff. One common misconception about the Webmaster is that he is a Gorilla. Even Mr. Magoo could tell, at some distance, he's no gorilla. Merely a man in a gorilla suit. With a cowboy hat. Why is a question for a different time, but the Webmaster wears his hairy mantle with pride and simian satisfaction, and naturally, takes no offense to being called a "chimp"
