  • Lukewarm Links

    You know I used to love reading snopes.com for all their urban legends.  Sometimes those legends are horribly false for instance the kid from the Life cereal commercials, Mikey, eating Pop Rocks and washing it down with a Coke and the combo killing him.  I have done that quite regularly and just recently I found Pop Rocks candy bars.  Well sometimes the urban legends happen to be true.  Here are two lists of urban legends that are creepy and true.

    Last week I tried to post about a nursing home abuse case in Minnesota but the link wasn't working.  It is up tonight.  Look at those girls.  Why would they need to do that to the elderly men?  If you have time read the police report, it is truly disturbing and has made me totally against ever putting my parents in a nursing home.

    I think I have said once or twice here on this site that I do not like Crocs.  Here's a story of a woman who doesn't like Crocs but that's because her son was almost killed because of wearing his Crocs.  200 people per year are injured because of Crocs and escalator related accidents.  This story reminds me of Mallrats.  "THAT KID IS BACK ON THE ESCALATOR!"

    Lily Allen has a new album coming out and with a new album comes new videos.  Here is her latest.  I love her accent.  You know this commercial from Arby's would be perfect if the woman was speaking in a British accent.  So if you are looking to get me a Christmas present have a hot woman dress up in an Arby's uniform and bring me a bountiful feast from Arby's all while speaking in a British accent....a guy can dream, at least I'm not one of those plushies.

    This is the perfect Christmas gift
    ...the gift that keeps on giving.  I wonder if Mrs. Claus goes bright red.  Oh and guys, according to the company they are making a line for men.

    Still looking for a 2009 calendar?  Well this one is really shitty.

    I find this cartoon absolutely hilarious.  My mom has been an ER nurse for 30+ years.  A while ago I had on a cd from the Bob and Tom radio show and this comedian was talking about a girl he was dating and how she was related to one of the stars from Star Trek.  The comedian made some comment about how awkward it was because he shoved her relative's action figure up his butt.  Well my mom heard that and she said that when Star Wars came out with their line of action figures, she spent many nights in the ER removing them from people's rectums and it wasn't jsut guys.  She said that if she kept all those figures, after a vigourous washing, she wouldn't ever have to worry about money ever again.  That is said.

    People always rag on the fat people for being fat.  Well sometimes that fat actually helps as is the case for this dog.  Winters get rough up here in Wisconsin and naturally people start packing on pounds to gear up for winter just like the animals or maybe that is because of lazy Sundays watching the Packers lose.  I actually feel for that dog.  Being stuck is scary.  When I was in 2nd grade I fell out of my bed and a mirror fell on top of me and I was trapped.  I spent hours screaming but my parents never heard me.  Oh well, I survived.

    Do you have a crappy car?  Want to turn it into an unstoppable murder machine?  Well check this out.

    This is an actual paper.  You will need to click on it to make it larger.  I was in tears as I read this paper.  It is sheer nonsense but the best part is the grade he received.

    Some people may say I should have saved this for my celebrity round up.  Well I hae two reasons why not.  First, it's Vinnie Jones and I don't think Vinnie Jones is round up worthy and second...well you'll have to wait until the end of this post.  The best line..."Jones' manager, Alex Cole, said Jones was on vacation, but he didn't know what the actor was doing in Sioux Falls."  Really, who the hell knows why anyone would be in Sioux Falls?  I have been there myself and asked myself, "WTF am I doing here?"  Watertown, SD is worse.

    If you kiss someone that hard, you're doing it wrong

    I'm in a giving mood and I miss showing off those tattoos so here is a great one.  This tattoo is going to be the tattoo to end all tattoos.

    Have a lot of extra time on your hands?  This website has compiled the 50 greats drug trips in cinema.  There are some great ones featured and it comes with videos.

    The quincenera is something my culture doesn't celebrate although they are becoming more popular in this area with the influx of migrant farmers.  My culture has bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs.  OK, so I'm not Jewish but Mormon and Christian historians have said that the Native Americans could be descended from the lost tribes of Israel so...anyway this is a collection of failed moments at quince parties.

    In case you haven't noticed, the winter advertising is in full gear.  Here is a list of some of the best commercials thus far.  The funny thing is that the series finale of The Shield launched so many of the winter ad campaigns especially when it came to movies...Seven Pounds, Valkeryie, The Day the Earth Stood Still...I thought Valkeryie would be the worst but lately I have noticed that to get people to see The Day the Earth Stood Still, they are promoting that it is the only movie out that features the trailer for the new X-Men movie.

    Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man has his own website.  SCORE!

    This story is sad.  Truth be told, I'd rather starve than eat Spam.  That stuff is horrible.  At least they have an awesome museum.  Yes, the Spam museum.  It totally kicks ass.  Besides being the home of Spam, Austin, MN is also the hometown of John Madden.

    I'm sorry Guinness but this is the new record book that I'm interested in.

    I think I found the Christmas present I'll be giving to all my family members: The Semen Cookbook.  You have to read the description.

    A while back I posted a story about the Burger King employees that were fired because a sink was used as a bathtub.  The worker who bathed was fired as were the manager and shift employees who allowed it to happen.  It was only a matter of time for there to be a copycat.  This time it was a KFC.  I am getting really nervous about eating at fast food restaurants not because of the health content of the food but because the minimum wage workers may be doing stuff like that for shiggles.  If you work and bathe at a fast food joint, make sure you post the pics on your myspace, facebook, xanga, or youtube.

    I didn't think it was possible to ever utter the words "too much time on their hands" and "too many Legos" in the same sentence but these guys had too much time on their hands and way too many Legos.

    I feel my arteries hardening already
    .  I think this is my style of sushi.

    Xanga's daily featured question section has a long way to go if it wants to catch up with the awesomeness that is Yahoo Questions.  Tomorrow on Xanga, that will be a featured question.

    OK, my sad news....I will not be doing a Celebrity Round Up tomorrow.  They take me a while to write and I am having company.  The Croatian Sensation is coming to visit so I will be out and about tomorrow evening as well as Saturday.  Look for it on Sunday.  I may pop in tomorrow with a couple of quick posts but don't expect the Round Up until Sunday.  Sorry for the inconvience but I haven't seen him since last February.  Maybe I'll have another pissing from a moving car story after this weekend.

  • Random Thursday

    I will put off my tattoo post because I have some other stuff I want to share.  I'll get right to it.

    This is one of those WTF moments that come along every so often in the classroom.  I made it a policy that I would not receive hugs.  Little kids like to hug and apparently I appear "cuddly".  Any student who came to me for a hug received a high five instead.  This is just creepy.

    Michael Phelps: "Where did you hide my gold medals?"
    Girl in Black: A little to the left...higher...faster...they're on the diving board."

    I only have one question after viewing this photo:  what is up with those mismatched socks?

    In case you don't watch the NFL or the ESPN talking heads, last weekend after the Minnesota Vikings were victorious over the winless Detroit Lions, Vikings owner, Ziggy Wilf, went to the locker room to present the game ball to a deserving player.  Well national TV audiences were treated to a show of Vikings' tight end Visanthe Shiancone's viking horn.  Where is the outrage? 

    Apparently there is a fetish out there involving people making balloon creations that are having sex.  You didn't want to see the other part of the fetish because that involves the creator having sex with his creation.

    Talk about textticular cancer.  Have you ever made a poor choice in texting?  I once accidentally clicked on my parents number when I texted a statement saying that I was good and ripped.  Good thing landlines don't have texting capabilities.

    Big deal.  Amy Winehouse smokes crack out of a tuba.

    So this is what George Bush has been working on for the past 8 years.

    Did I ever tell you I enjoy swimming?  How about skinny dipping?  Well I lived next to a lake during my formidable years.  You can't really do that in the snow. 

    Ho ho ho!

    Pussy and beer, the ultimate Christmas gift combination for men.

    I'm loving some of these Prop 8 protest pictures that are starting to surface.

    This might provide more enjoyment than a collectible plate or coin.

    You will have to enlarge that one.  It reminds me of college when guys would advertise giving rides back to Wisconsin for the major breaks in hopes of meeting a girl...yes, I'm pathetic. 

    Even more proof that Wisconsin rules.

    BEST.  CIRCUS.  EVER!!!!

    You know, I plan on writing my congressmen and senators asking to be given money for a bailout just because the car companies and the banks get thus I should be entitled.

    Well I have my links post coming up next.
