A few years back, before discovering Drupal, I built my own little content management system. At the time, I saw a Boondocks cartoon in which Huey talked about some looming world crisis (involving imminent oil depletion, perhaps) he had read about on werealldoomed.com. Naturally, I had to check it out - and I was surprised to find no one had registered the domain (or were-all-doomed.com) - I figured at least Aaron McGruder himself would have grabbed it, perhaps to document Huey's most apocalyptic visions. So, I registered the domains myself, and used them as a test bed for my CMS. It was an Onion-like satirical news site, but specializing in doom and disaster, and open to user submissions.

Anyway, I abandoned my CMS project after discovering Drupal. And, after 9/11, I lost my taste for apocolyptic humor for a while. I have since moved the content into Drupal, and there it sits, waiting for a good concept for re-launching. Or someone to make me an offer for the domain names...
