  • Lukewarm Links

    Well another week of links.  I was surprised how many links I was able to find this week that didn't involve the presidential election. 

    Here's a list of five movies from the 80s that are being remade.  I have problems with remakes.  Sure, I can understand the occasional remake of a foreign film but every single movie these days feels like it's already been done.  I am just waiting for the day they remake The Godfather.  You say it can't be done, but they did remake Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.

    Another problem I have with the entertainment industry is the television spin-off.  Here are five of the strangest spin-offs in tv history.  I think the funniest one on the list is Golden Palace, the spin-off of The Golden Girls.  It is in syndication not as Golden Palace but as The Golden Girls.  Funny stuff.  Also I think that show is where Don Cheadle got his start.  I am actually trying to think of successful tv spin-offs.  I can only think of two, possibly three.  The Simpsons is basically a spin-off from The Tracy Ullman Show.  The Jeffersons and Maude were spin-offs of All in the Family.  Maude wasn't what I was aiming at it is Good Times which is a spin-off of Maude.  So Good Times was a spin-off of a spin-off...my brain hurts.

    I lied.  Here is a list of campaign ads if the voting age was 6.  There are some funny ones in there and I think those work better than some of the ads that were on the tv. 

    Does anyone here read the Family Circus cartoon in the papers?  I seriously can't stand that cartoon.  I don't know why but I cringe every time I read it.  NOT ME!  A while back I was turned on to the Dysfunctional Family Circus.  I'll let you read that and go at your own caution.  I have posted some in the past and maybe I'll dig some up.  Anyway this week I found a new Family Circus cartoon.  A guy named Scott places himself in the cartoons.  It is funny, trust me.  Check it out here.

    I like Halloween.  The sweet-tooth side of me loves it for the candy and especially on the day after Halloween when you can get everything at half price.  Well the pervert side of me loves all the "naughty" costumes.  I'm not alone.  These guys put together a slideshow of some of their favorite costumes.

    This is why I am thankful I live in America where we have only one language, bastardized English.

    I think if I had this teacher, I may have applied myself wholeheartedly.

    I can only think of one other way that I would assume is how I would die.  How horrible is this?  And then to be found by your mom...no more porn no more porn no more porn.

    Have you started your Christmas shopping?  Have a Christian on your list that has it all?  I am convinced that person doesn't have the talking Jesus or talking Mary dolls.  A few years ago I almost purchased a set of Biblical action figures but they were a bit pricey and I can imagine they would decrease in value if I took them out of the packaging and I knew I would because I would be so tempted to reenact Bible stories.  Yeah, I need a girlfriend.

    I enjoy colliegate athletics.  Here is a good quiz from the people at Mental Floss to test you on the school mascots and what they used to be in a non-politically correct world.

    When I was a teenager I consider changing my name to Heywood Jablome.  This guy actually went through with it.  I think he just should have changed his name to Captain I'm Never Going to Get Laid with This Name. 

    I pray to God quite regularily and thank him for the Wonder Bra.  Well there is now proof that God could be female or at least answering men with smaller members prayers.  You know how the Wonder Bra accentuates certain features on the feminine body, well the good people at Calvin Klein have created an undergarment that will enhance the profile of man junk.  It's called the Trophy Case System

    I love this site.  It's from the good folks at Olan Mills. 

    Worried about a hate group starting trouble with the new President?  Worried that there may be a hate group near you?  Well the Southern Poverty Law Center has set up a map of all the active hate groups in America.  I am intrigued that there are as many as there are in my home state.  I was thinking there would be more.

    Well that is it for tonight.  I will be back tomorrow with my celebrity round up and a special Halloween Round Up.

  • The Onion

    I love The Onion and here are some videos concerning the recent election.

    Voting Machines Elect One Of Their Own As President

    The funny thing is that my dad actually said something about that.  He claimed that one day the computers would take over.


    Old, Grizzled Third-Party Candidate May Steal Support From McCain

    I'm sure that's the only reason why McCain lost support...cough Palin cough cough.


    Obama Undertakes Presidential Internship To Ease Concerns About His Lack Of Experience
    That ought to shut people up...by the way did anyone watch South Park this week?

  • Random Thursday

    I am so happy.  I just found out that Bob and Tom are now on tv.  They are on for an hour and it just recaps the day's radio show, much like what Howard Stern used to have on E!  I have always loved the Bob and Tom Show.  I am still waking up.  I started watching football this evening and I just passed out.  I slept hard and it is taking me forever to wake up.  Oh well maybe getting the pics up and writing captions will wake me.

    This has been floating around so I thought I'd get in on the action.

    There's always hope for 2012

    I can haz nuclear spermz.
     
    These are some groups you'll n  ever see on facebook...so maybe you should try to start one, let me know and I'll join.

    Every picture tells a story and I think I can predict where this one is heading.

    I miss the Corkster...I even bought the Life Goes On season 1 dvd set.  I need season 2!

    I think the sign would be more fitting if that was a cowgirl sitting on the fence.

    I am thinking of becoming one because they have so many great titles.  There is a Hell's Kitchen games as well as Iron Chef and then this afternoon I see an advertisment for Mortal Kombat versus DC Comics fighting game.  Yeah, I need a girlfriend.

    Well, that's an unfortunate name.

    Here is a flow-chart for what to say during sex.

    That is one fast moving sausage.  Must be chorizo.

    OK, I have two more posts tonight.
