• Lukewarm Links

  I hope everyone is having a swell week or at least better than mine.  I also want to thank everyone who sent me links.  Hopefully you remember what you sent because I may have forgotten who sent me what.  And if you have anything you want to see in this feature, shot me an email or a comment....I like comments because it makes me feel special and know that people are reading this blog.

  Sometimes common sense isn't all that good.  Here are 5 ways that common sense can lie to you.  Man, now I feel jealous of all those people in school that I made fun of for not having common sense.  I need to write about my Minority Cultures class sometime.

  Sometimes there are threats against morality in our country that aren't really threats.  Here are 6 of the most insane threats.  I remember being a religion teacher during the panic of rainbow parties and the campus pastor had us look for kids wearing those jelly bracelets.  Curse you, Oprah!  Apparently Polish politicians are worried that gay elephants pose a threat to the morality of Poland.

  Do you want to be happy in your life?  Well here are 5 things that you think may make you happy but won't.  I have to agree, being a genius has gotten me no where.

  Have you ever wanted to experience what it is like to go to a barbershop but didn't want to leave your computer?  Well now you can go to the Virtual Barbershop.  It sounds cool with headphones.

  A few years ago I applied and was interviewed for a writing position with a Major League Baseball team.  In the interview they asked me if I was a fan of the team and I told them that I was not.  I should have because then I would be a big shot sports writer.  It looks like they hired a 5th grader.

  Sex and the Bible is a very touchy subject...no pun intended.  Here is a fun little look at a certain aspect of sexuality in accordance to the Bible and what some people like to do when they listen to the Divynls.  However not all church bodies are into telling people to explore masturbation.  Here is something from the LDS church saying how a person can overcome those temptations.  Oh and if you dislike calling it masturbation here is a list of 1000 other names for the act.

  This has become a new favorite blog, much better than FML.  It's I Was an Odd Kid.  I think I could spend so much time on that site relating stories of my life. 

  This week's Twitter:  Joey Styles.  I am a casual professional wrestling fan and when I was in high school this guy was one of the best announcers because he was over the top with everything.  "OH MY GOD I THINK HE'S DEAD," was always one of my favorite calls that he made.  Oh and apparently the Republican Party hasn't fully grasped the concept of Twittering responsibly. 

  I once talked about how I loved going to my grandfather's leather repair shop because he had pin-ups of Bettie Page and a sundry of other scantily clad females.  Well here are some pin-ups of modern girls.  I have to give a big thank you to that person who sent me this one.

  Last week I had a link to HollaDaddy because of his strange comment tactics on myspace.  Well someone sent me some more of his work...here...here...and here.  Thank you!

  Have you ever had to do public speaking and you encountered a heckler?  Here is an article about different ways to shoot them down.  Personally I like the Carlin and Galifinakis methods best.

  Who knew guessing the amount of jelly beans in a jar could be so profitable?  Easter is such a fun holiday although some people do not refer to this holiday as Easter.  I still think one of the best parts of Easter are Peeps candy and here are Peeps on Parade.  That is some good stuff!

  Here's a fun little quiz from Mental Floss: Star Trek Character or Erectile Dysfunction Medicine.

  Here is another new blog that I am following: The Customer is Always Right.  My favorite entry is on April 9th when they wrote to the people at Easy Bake Oven and Buffalo Wild Wings.  I did something similar in high school when I lived in the dorm.  Some friends and I wrote to Grandma's Cookies and complained about the quality of the cookies so they sent us a case.  Now that I am a bitter old man, I write to companies that advertise on FOX News and say I am boycotting their products until they pull advertising from that network.  It has worked for some products.

  I love when people hijack forums.  I need to get into some serious facebook groups and do stuff like this.

  You know how everyone is "Googling," as the kids say, these days.  Well sometimes there are dead end searches on something as great as Google.  Here is a collection of those dead end searches.

  Here is another handy blog, How to Beat Up Anything.  They offer some sage advice. 

  This week in art...work belonging to an artist that lived in the 20th Century but didn't gain fame for his art is going on sale this week. 

  By now you have heard of the wonderful employees that work at Domino's.  I will never eat at Domino's again. 

  Have you ever wanted to read the Bible?  How about reading the Bible in LOL Cat language?  Well now you can.  Serious Cat may get upset that I posted his secret.

  Japan has given us many wonderful things like a 75 year old porn star and Haiku but not just any haiku...haiku based on Saved by the Bell.

  A few posts back, I posted links about Olan Mills family portraits.  This one is the old style portraits with the laser backgrounds.  I don't have any photos like that but if I did, I would share.  Laser Portraits are further proof that the 80s are not as cool as what the modern magazines and TV shows would have you believe.

  Want to feel small?  Check out how small Earth is in the galaxy.

  The other night I was watching Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job and they played an epic Tennis Match.  I thought I would share its hilarity. 

  Have you noticed that there are no ads in Youtube videos?  Well sometimes those ads fail.

  You know after reading this story, I now feel my tactic of biting an animal if one attacks me is legitimate.

  I saw this on Mancouch and it was sent to me.  I think this is probably one of the best Halloween costumes out there. 

  I thought this graph was pretty telling as to how Barack Obama kicks ass.  Too bad it only goes back to McKinley.  That may be telling.  History exam: What was the first war that our nation fought after the Revolutionary War?(This war is sometimes called The First War on Terror)...I feel generous...whoever gets it right will receive a mini.

  You know how they are making everything with bacon...Baconaise...Bacon Salt...Ice Cream...Bras?  Well we can now add guns to that list.

  There is this blogger out there that answers questions with his cock.  You have to read it to believe it.  Oh and that same blogger is running this thing he calls a Tournament of Randomocity in which he has taken random categories and had his readers vote for which would win.  It's down to the Final Four and he has his cat versus Pink Floyd and Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill versus Super Nintendo in the other match-up.  Strange stuff!

  Well that is it for this week.  I hope you enjoyed.
