Misfire on Angelfire
OK, it's not technically a 404 page, but is instead a 410 error...but I'd argue that they're basically the same thing in as what you're looking for isn't there. This was what I got when going through some old bookmarks that I had saved to make a post about, but darned if I can remember what there was about it I thought would be worthwhile to share with my loyal readers. Oh well, whatever it was, I'm sure it wasn't THAT great or I'd have already written about it.

Strange graphic, huh? The kid's balloon has crashed in a lovely little field, just barely missing a sheep. (or maybe the sheep was thrown clear in the crash?) I wonder why the penguin was along for the ride. I don't know why the balloon fell to earth, but I suspect it had something to do with the little ET inside the balloon and his wrecked spaceship.
I signed up for an Angelfire space around the same time I did for this Blogger blog, but I went ahead with Blogger. I kept signing into my Angelfire acct. however, just in case, but not long afterwards I got an email saying many of the features would be available only with a paid subscription. No thanks. I didn't want to use the free version, so....

Delete the Tweet
I have a Twitter account - the second one I've had. I rarely tweeted and seldom signed in on the first one and it's about the same for the present one. The one I have now has a fake name, just in case I want to fire back at someone who tweets something offensive.
It's been a couple of years (so the exact details are a little hazy) but I followed a re-tweet by someone I was following and the woman - some minor celeb. who happened to be black - had posted a lot of (other) nasty racist comments, but the one that bothered me was her saying "White women prefer black men!" I usually just ignore things like that, but couldn't help myself and replied "That might be true, but if it is, it might also mean black men prefer white women." I got a BUNCH of replies to that, so many that I just canceled the account. Many were death threats or at the least, promising violence. Since I had used my "real name", I thought it for the best, even though I doubted anyone would actually follow through on them. If someone showed up at my door, angry over something I had posted on Twitter, then they might have had a rude awakening...or a quick death.
Anyway...I was reading a sports article the other day and a link was left to a specific tweet, but it had been deleted by the time I clicked on it. Here's the Twitter 404 message:
