With a name like Future Hootenanny Overload I was sure this was going to be a “redneck” type website. Someone who just wun themselvs a knew comfuser thingamob and they were going to tell all of us what it was like being a redneck. Boy was I wrong.
Upon entering Future Hootenanny Overload I was greeted with what I thought was a splash page. But then I realized I could scroll down. This fake splash page has some rather large images, a brief bio about the author (how he lives on another planet, is an alien, etc), and then some more information about the site.
After scrolling down through the two pages of above stuff, I finally got to the blog. The blog is a Q and A type blog where people write into Mystic Hooligan (the author) and he answers them from an alien’s perspective. The site is broken down into categories: Spot a Human, Celebrity Deaths, Ask an Alien, Myth Busting, and more. My personal favorite was the Celebrity Death Requests as I thought these were very funny.
The design of the site could be improved. The two pages I have to scroll down no matter what page I am viewing, gets annoying quickly. The page is a two-column layout with all the links on the right. Normally I complain if I can’t see the archives in a date format and only in a category format, but this is the first site that it works for. It would still be nice however to get them in date format.
Overall I enjoyed my time at this blog. There are some things that the site could improve on (the design, getting rid of the two pages that I have to scroll down) but in general this site was worth visiting. I plan to come back to this site any time I need a good laugh.Future Hootenanny Overload
