• Lukewarm Links

  Time for this week's edition of Lukewarm Links. 

  A few months ago I was floored when I saw a top blog that was clearly plagiarized.  Everybody was all on that Xangan's jock saying how funny the post was but I knew the dirty little secret.  Anyway plagiarism doesn't exist only in Xanga.  Here are 5 men who built their careers on plagiarism.  The funny thing about #5, when I was in my final semester as a student I had my thesis course and one of the assignments was to present a modern historian to the class.  My roommate and I were assigned to cover #5 and the day after our presentation, he died.  That was sort of creepy.

  A while back I posted a amateur homemade rock video.  Here is a collection of 8 unintentionally hilarious amateur music videos.  Oh they are so bad.

  Do you like TV?  Here is a list of 10 excellent TV shows that may be cancelled after this season.  I haven't had the opportunity to watch Kings but I have the desire to see it simply because one of my favorite actors is the lead role.  Thank god Friday Night Lights has been renewed for two more seasons.

  This is the best belt ever.  I had something similar.  It was a beer bottle opener belt buckle.  I was deliciously white trash and that was the only way I would open my hipster beers, PBR and Grain Belt.

  If you have been following my Tournament of Randomocity, the #16 seed in the Movie Badass Bracket has made some noise.  Well I was talking to one of you, my faithful readers, the other night about the documentary which follows his life.  I can't find an embeddable version so here is a direct link to the movie, American Movie. 

  The man, the myth, the legend...Mr. Cotton Hill.    He was my favorite character on King of the Hill.

  Don't want to feel old?  Then don't go to this tumblr.  It made me feel ancient.

  This is somewhat of an interesting blog...if craig posted his ads on random objects instead of on the website craigslist.

  I posted a link to an article about incompetent 911 operators.  Well sometimes they get incompetent callers.

  I think I have found a new favorite troll on myspace.  I think I should try this on Xanga.

  A few weeks back I posted a link about how to make flavored vodka with regular vodka and skittles. This week I will send you to a website that will teach you the intricacies of Jell-O shots.
  
  This website has helped me greatly and so can you!  Seriously, guys, you may want to check this out...ok, girls too.

  I was going to do a tattoo update but I thought I would just send you to this site which features tattoos inspired by food.  Seriously, one of these days, I'll be doing a new tattoo entry.

  You know if I was a parent, I would only use these for bottles for my children.  Hell, I'd probably use them for myself as well.

  Have you ever wondered how long you could last on a gay pirate ship?  Well, by taking this quiz, you can find out how long you would last on a gay pirate ship. 

  In my Motivation entry earlier this week there was a picture of some guys bowing down to a Ronald McDonald statue.  Well McDonald's has started taking out those statues and here is photographic evidence as to why they want to lose the statues and appear more hip. 

  Here's a fun website.  People take normal snacks and they pimp them by making huge versions of bite sized foods and they include the instructions on how to make them. 

  Have you ever read the comments on youtube's videos?  Well some of the insults people throw out are classic.  So here is a random youtube insult generator.

  I think playing around with this site while high would be one of those life changing experiences people clamor about. 

  This week in Twitter:  thanks to the Venerable one, he has shared with us the Twitters of David Lynch and Eddie Izzard.  I REALLY need to get on Twitter now.

  After reading this I am glad I don't live anywhere near Texas.  I guess it is no different than the people at Ellis Island who had to change their names to sound more "American" or the German Americans during World War 1 that changed their surnames to prove their loyalty to the U.S.

  In my Celebrity Round Up last week I mentioned about the upcoming Sascha Baron Cohen movie based around his character Bruno.  Well he got Ron Paul and as Rachel Maddow describes the situation, it sounds hilarious.  So why aren't the Ron Paul supporters on Xanga bemoaning this instead of worrying about showing respect to foreign dignitaries?

  Here's a funny video showing why so many straight men go gay in L.A.

  Last week I posted about Omegle, the new chatting website that matches you with a stranger.  Well hilarity has ensued and this tumblr has some great screen captures of Omegle chat sessions.

  Does anyone remember the show The Adventures of Pete and Pete?  I used to watch that show.  One of the actors, Danny Tamberelli, was also on one of my favorite Nick gameshows, Figure It Out, and he has a great facebook page.  Anyway The Adventures of Pete and Pete had the world's most elusive super hero.
  
  This is a classic FML and I have seen it make its rounds on Xanga.  I couldn't resist.  This is exactly why people should know the difference between your and you're.

  Game of the week:  Can you vibrate as much as a vibrator? 

  Well that is it for this week, if you have any links that you would like to see in entries of this ilk, send them my way.
