Don't know if you had computer access in 1998, but you would be amazed at the cute things that people would share with each other via email. It seems like things are starting to be circulated again here in 2011, but most of the ones I get now days is pictures with comments about the pictures.
Anyway, linked below are the old emails I recieved, and I'm so glad I did't lose them, because my computer crashed soon after. Be sure to share these and pass them around!
