The Onion nails it as usual:
“Today the ruins of the site remain perfectly preserved, as they were at the time of Friendster’s demise, sometime around mid to late twenty-o-four a.d..
“Their lives just come to a complete stop.. like a fly trapped in amber.”

I found this “Horse Sprayer” bottle sitting casually on the counter at my parents’ house in NJ. It’s “IDEAL FOR SPRAYING: Fly repellents, Coat Dressings, Veterinary Products, Insecticides, Shampoos, Leather Conditioners, Disinfectants, and Deodorizers, Plus 101 Other Uses Around the Stable.” As you know, there’s a lot of demand for an all-in-one device that can handle these types of situations in suburban NJ.
The “CONVENIENT ONE-HAND OPERATION” of this “handy pistol-grip-sprayer always leaves you with one hand free. You can hold the horse and spray him at the same time. New silent-sprayer action allows you to spray the horse safely…” Would a sprayer that makes noise be unsafe? Wouldn’t the horse feel it anyway with your free hand holding him?
According to my dad, this sprayer could possibly pre-date my birth. It’s probably from back in the day when my parents lived in a stable.. Close up of the front and back labels.
