Lukewarm Links 14
Here I am. Feeling decent. I finished a book today. I was reading "Pygmy" by Chuck Palahniuk. I have read all his works and this for me was the hardest read. It was written in this broken English because it is taken from the viewpoint of a foreigner. It had an interesting subject that seemed like it was straight out of one of episodes from the first season of The Simpsons.
I was talking to my dad today about this weekend. I am thinking of going out for a little bit for hunting. I don't know if I will sit out for the whole day. It is supposed to be warm for hunting in Wisconsin standards but there is also possibility of rain. My dad said that even though he hates hunting he would rather be out doing that instead of being at the casino. He said it was going to be a madhouse on Saturday night. I asked why because I figure most of the hunters would be so beat and want to get in the woods early on Sunday that they wouldn't go to the casino. He told me that they were having a Deer Hunter Widows special and that there was going to be a performance by the Chippendale's Dancers. He went on to say that there will be seas of women and he doesn't like dealing with it because once they see half naked men gyrating on stage they think every man is open to being groped. Hmmmm maybe I will go to the casino afterall.1. Guys, are you going out to a bar or club this weekend? Here is a handy guide for learning about a girl you may be interested in based on her drink. Sadly, I know a few of these are true.
2. Here's a fun game. It's called porn star or potato. You have to determine whether the picture they show you is either a porn star or a potato. It's more difficult than it sounds.
3. I remember back in high school when a local McDonald's got a statue of Ronald. Within two days I started seeing friends posing with the Ronald in provactive ways. I figured I was alone until I saw this collection of porn photos with statues. Have you noticed lately I have been writing a bit about porn? Yeah...things are lonely in my house.
4. I was sent this email from a member of my church. He and I had been debating about Thomas Jefferson being a Christian. I said that it was pretty obvious he wasn't since he edited his own Bible and took out any mentions of Christ's divinity or anything remotely paranormal. Well the guy sent me an email with a link to this site explaining that Thomas Jefferson must be a Christian since he is included in that painting. And people wonder why I have problems with the church.
5. Are you a Star Wars fan? Have you been jealous of Star Trek fans and how they get to speak the language of the Klingons? Well thanks to two Xangans for bringing this link to my attention(I think I posted it a long time ago but who knows, I drink scotch). It's an online translator to turn all your text into the language of the Wookies. wwhuoaor roworaac!
6. So a long time ago I posted a link to the website Overheard in New York. Well this site is much more relevant to me since I live so close. Overheard in Madison. Too bad they haven't included any of the chants from the sporting events...wait they did September 26th. The recent Badgers game when they were whipping Michigan the student section started to chant "Let's Get Wasted!" Oh and the hockey game last weekend I heard a chant of "We want ice cream!" A local fast food chain has a deal where if the BAdgers hockey teams score 5 goals in a game then everyone with a ticket stub that goes to the restaurant gets a free ice cream...oops frozen custard. Culver's rocks!
7. This is a fun little website that is quite the invasion of privacy. It's called FoundPhotos and the webmaster started the site after he started finding people's personal photos on peer to peer file sharing programs. Not to get your hopes up, I haven't found any nudies yet.
8. I have heard rumors of the existence of this product. It's called the Pizza Video. It's sort of like those videos or DVDs where they show the fireplace scene. I guess the video is supposed to make me feel like I am watching a pizza being made in a pizzeria while I eat my Tombstone.
9. If you have a lot of time on your hands, here's a site that supposedly has the 50 funniest scenes in movie history. I don't get why #7 even made the list.
10. Here's a fun new fetish site...Hot Chicks with Fists in their Mouths. If you can't figure out what that site is about then you have issues.
11. Sesame Street has been on the air for 40 years. Over that time there have been plenty of muppets that have come and went. Here are 9 muppets that were evicted from Sesame Street.
12. I mentioned Star Wars earlier...well this is how a Star Wars fan deals with a break up. Honestly, I give the dude props because that is such a great allusion.
13. This list examines the 10 worst marriages in cartoon history. I love their assessment of the #10 couple.
14. Do you need reasons to stop eating at McDonald's? Well take a look at what their Big Mac Wrap looks like. Since McDonald's is getting all hip and getting rid of the statues I have no more reasons to go there.
15. Are you planning on getting into some mischief this weekend? Well here are 25 reasons why you should wear condoms.
Hamburglar, when will you learn not to steal?

Ha! I think you should go to the casino! I think I'll go, too!
I look forward to this post all week!!! It's one of my favs...AFTER Cocky, of course!
I can't pick a fav site...I went and looked at 8 of the 15...I'll check the rest out over the weekend...although I think the last one made me laugh the loudest!
Okay...the porn photos with statues made me LOL, too!
Ooh man, I've read so many things about analyzing a person's personality based on the drink they order. Nonetheless, interesting though.
Thank you so much for the 50 funniest scenes in movie history. I just saw some of my favorite scenes in movies, and they are the best!
And that last photo: I remember seeing that movie... Even though it doesn't show anything, that part is disturbing.
umm yeah, i noticed all the porn references... glad you cleared that up for us, godfather ;)
and, ya know, whenever i see that creeeepy Burger King guy, i just wonder "what were they thinking when they created him?? ...and why, oh why, won't he go away?" ...he's always totally creeped me out for some reason lol
that pornstar or potato one is hilarious
More goodies. Have a good day hunting if you go. Be careful too. We had a guy up here shoot and kill a woman - he was using buck shot, one of the shot hit her in the gut and she died - while out jogging in the forest. The idiot guy shot across a roadway when he saw a deer (so he says) and this 58 year old woman caught a ricochet. The guy is up on manslaughter charges.
Watching the Hamburgler get stomped reminds me of the movie "American History X" What a brutal way to put someone's lights out. I like it.
My Dad told me about that move 40 years ago.
Maybe you should go to the casino. Easy way to get laid?
This links business is awesome. Every time you post these, I clear about an hour or so out of my day to follow them through
Do you mind if I pass these along to my friends for their podcast? They love telling people about weird sites and the ones you post here will be perfect! I'm a fan of the Pornstar or Potato game, it was tricky sometimes!
And the links were fantastic, they cheered me up. Keep up the good work Mat!
*gasp @ the Burger King/Hamburgler thing* Agh that scene in American History X gave me nightmares for weeks!
So grossly is that clip.
#15 is so sillyyyyyyyyy!
I once posed with a statue of a potato... just saying...
Some day I will have a blog 50 reasons lists are bad.
@carolinaatnight -
Those porn statue poses are hilarious. There is one photo that I don't think made that list of a guy holding open a porn magazine and it looks like he and Ronald are both enjoying what they see.
I am debating if I go now to the casino or if I go when Boys II Men perform.
@mZdejavuZ -
Yes, that movie is disturbing and is all too real.
The more I read that 50 funniest scenes list, the more I can think up other scenes that didn't make the list. One that did make the top ten was from Dr. Strangelove. I think one of the funniest and unfortunate scenes in that movie was edited because of the timing. The movie was set to release the day after JFK was assassinated and in the scene the guys in the war room end up having a food fight with the Russians and the American president is killed. One of the American generals exclaims, "OH NO! Our youthful president has been cut down in his prime."
@Peridot21 -
Yeah I just wanted to clarify I'm not a total pervert but just very lonely.
I can remember one of the earliest King commercials where a guy wakes up and looks over and the king is in bed with him. THAT CREEPED ME OUT!
@Paul_Partisan -
There was another one I vaguely remember similar to that one. I think it was armpits or vaginas.
@dikdoktor -
I think the most gruesome death around here involving hunting was when a hunter thought he killed a deer with a single shot. He went up to field dress it but when he grabbed the deer's hind leg and stuck in his knife the deer woke up and slashed the dude across the stomach with its hooves and the guy's intestines spilled out. Apparently he didn't even hit the deer with a shot, it fainted.
My closest call in hunting was on an opening day it was sleeting and a deer ran down into a slew on my uncle's property. The buck was huge and I had hit it as did one of my cousins. Well I went running after it and I hit an ice patch and fell. My gun went flying in the air, it lands, I hear a click, and the barrel is pointed at my head. It misfired. I had to leave because I had to go change my pants.
@NightlyDreams -
I am at a point in life where I strangely need a relationship before I consider that.
@TheGiantSlayer -
Awesome...I am glad that people get enjoyment out of these.
@twistedmistletoe -
I am glad that you enjoyed. Feel free to pass these along. I would hope that a lot of people could get enjoyment out of these. So what is your friend's podcast?
Oh that porn star or potato game gets very tricky. I remember another game like that but it was either Mar's surface or porn star or armpit or sexual organ.
@ithiliya -
Yeah that was a gruesome scene but it fit with the whole mood of the movie.
@RestlessButterfly -
Yes it is gross, that comes from the movie American History X which is a pretty gruesome movie. I'm glad you enjoyed some of these though.
@Curse_of_Greyface -
There was a town in Minnesota near where I went to college(Little House on the Prairie area) that featured a gazebo with a 25 foot tall fiberglass corn cob. I was in a wedding in that town and they took the wedding photos at that place. The corn cob stayed in the picture for a few.
So which lists didn't you like? The more I read it, the more I find wrong with the 50 funniest scenes.
@godfatherofgreenbay - That one with Ronald McD sounds hilarious!
Let me know when you go to the casino and if you have fun! 
HAHAHAHAHAHA LMMFAO! I love the American History X edit/loop with the Hambuglar getting a curb smile from the Burger King. But, why didn't they put in Ronald McDonald instead?
@VioletMoonDancer7 -
Maybe they used Hamburglar because he is a thief like in the movie the guy does that to thieves.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
Oh, without a doubt it did! American History X is actually one of my favorite films... I wouldn't change a minute of it. I actually really enjoy that it affected me so much, but there's just something soooo wrong about using that scene like that! *LOL*
what I meant is.... why didn't they make it Ronald smashing his head instead of the Burger King? I mean, Hamburglar is a McDonald's character. LOL That's like showing Kermit the frog beating the hell out of Ernie when clearly it would make more sense if Bert beat him instead. hahaha. Still hillarious. <3 Suz
@VioletMoonDancer7 -
Maybe the Hamburglar messed with the wrong fast food chain? I can remember all the old commercials when he stole burgers, Ronald always tried to reform him. That is how Grimace came along. He originally was the Hamburglar's partner in crime except he stole shakes but Ronald put him through some sort of rehab.
@godfatherofgreenbay - lol, yeah, I remember them too. I also remember my brothers calling me Grimise whenever I wore my purple sweatsuit... NOW. Thanks a lot... I had repressed that. Hahahaha j/k. <3 Suz PS- I still think it would be better if Ronald finally snapped. lol
@godfatherofgreenbay -
i completely understand
