WEBBIDY

It’s the “the online” for me

Go to wwww.JakeWest.webb

The online brought to you by the onion 😁👍

I fucking remember my gram saying 'The Online' pretty damn often.

'you're connected to it, but nothing's connected to you'

PageLinker is the 'google' of websites.

I think I just logged on to my internet.

Not ashamed to admit I lol'd at webbidy

Connect-The-Thots

I’ll take any of those over Comcast.

The online is poor quality. I didn't get called a racial slur once 1/10.
