Living Indefinitely,
sometimes abbreviated to LI or LivInd,
is a non-notable website based in the United States.
It features satire articles like Reports From Green Lake
and Campaign Treehouse, reviews of bad movies, and opinion
columns like My Way Is Right. The site is associated with
a record label of the same name.
 
History

Living Indefinitely
is the brainchild of Brady
Carlson and Steve
Carlson (the
two are not related), originally of Downers
Grove,
Illinois. Originally they considered opening a record
label,
but expanded the idea to include film, writing and other
mediums. In 1994 they opened the consortium under the name
The New York Jets, but a judge ruled the name had already
been trademarked by an obscure
East Coast football team.
Steve thought of the name "Living Indefinitely" after remembering
a passage from the book Forgetting Your Pills and Falling
Asleep Anyway, by their mentor, Professor
Max Banner:


Once upon a time, tribal elders decreed that a "chosen
one" would rise to conquer a wild, untamed new land in
the name of all that was sacred to them. In honor of
this conqueror, whom they dubbed Rogthokalou (Icelandic
for "he who likes "pudding pops"), they dug large ditches
for use in religious ceremonies. This also explains the
elders' shocking lack of dental hygiene during the Mid-Early
period.

Then we come to the Crusades, and the elders had long
believed Rogthokalou would appear to save at least
6% of the souls in Christendom. After reading an ancient
book of runes, the oldest of the elders concluded that
his eyesight was failing and later became Pope Twiggy
VII. The other elders decided to loiter outside my
building and that's why you kids ought to shape up
and learn a damn thing or two.

As for Rogthokalou, he finally showed up in several
of Hegel's most famous philosophical works, but only
in the trade paperback versions. Talk about living
indefinitely! I need a hoagie about now, so this is
the end of chapter three.


LivingIndefinitely.com
was launched in 2002, containing online versions of some
of the group's most
popular works and a large collection of broken links, which
Brady
Carlson angrily defended as "my constitutional right."

Additional members began adding content to the site over
time. Dave
Carlson (not related to Brady, related to Steve)
began writing a column answering e-mails in 2002. Sonya
Carlson (related to Brady, not related
to Steve) added the My Way Is Right column in 2003,
the same year Max Banner's column began appearing on the
site. Additional members, including Amy
Borchwald, Mike
Ostrego and Hans
Budach, also contribute periodically to the site.

LivingIndefinitely.com quickly gained notoriety for frequent
redesigns, short-lived content ideas and repeatedly spamming
porn sites.
In 2004 Brady Carlson was involved in a high-profile feud with conservative
blogger "Aaron the Liberal Slayer," who posted a profanity-laced
tirade after mistaking LivingIndefinitely.com's April
Fool's site as legitimate. This episode is the only time in which
Brady Carlson has outsmarted anyone.

As of 2005, LivingIndefinitely.com had allegedly launched
another redesign, relying on PHP technology and extra bandwidth
to
expand the site's content. The veracity of these rumors cannot
be confirmed.
