Lukewarm Links 14
I already wrote one post tonight so why not another. If you missed the other one here it is: My Favorite Comedians.
Last night I watched and listened to the Wisconsin basketball game. They beat Duke. It was a very impressive game. I think the one of the fun things I took away from that game was that I saw the owner of the shoe store where I shop sitting behind the Badgers' bench. So random, I know, but when a guy takes time to stock his store with shoes in my size you recognize him.
And I apologize, there be lists in these links.#1. Have you ever wondered how your band got it's name? Well here is a list of the stories behind how 12 bands got their name. I still haven't figured out how Mookie Blaylock influenced the name Pearl Jam.
#2. A lot of people are struggling in this economy yet they still want to have a good time. Here is a handy guide about how you can enjoy a strip club on $30. Honestly I think the article is a hoax and horrible but then what do I know.
#3. Here's a list of 5 seriously messed up movie plots. I am shocked that Old Boy did not make the list or Ichii the Killer.
#4. Do you watch TV? Hopefully you watch good TV and not these shows that were the 10 worst of the decade.
#5. I love Google Street. I have often been surprised that I haven't found much nefarious activities when I view the street. Well someone has went to painstaking efforts to make a collection of prostitutes found on Google Streets, too bad they didn't include the addresses. Here's a great example of something random found in Google street, apparently they don't know what deer look like in Canada.
#6. Have you ever wondered what L.A. would look like if there were no people? Well here is your chance to see what that would look like. Even without all the people it still looks polluted as all hell.
#7. Here is a list of actors who turned down huge roles on TV. You know, it's hard to imagine Paul Giamanti as Michael Scott or Paul Schaffer as George Costanza.
#8. Because I am a map nerd, here is a map of the 250 best movies of all time, color coordinated as to genre.
#9. Even though this site is for what to do when tumblr is down, I think it is applicable to Xanga as of late. Keep clicking, some are truly funny.
#10. I know some of you hate these lists but they backed up in my bookmark section and I want to get rid of them. Anyway here is a list of some strange high school mascots. True story: I coached football against one of those schools.
#11. I know some of you really dig Judd Apatow movies. I like some of his work. Thanks for B-Money for bringing this to my attention, here is a chart of Apatow productions casting. It's amazing how some of those guys are in almost everything.
#12. I love those church sign generators. Well here is a site of many different sign generators. Thanks B-Money.
#13. The rule with this site is that you have to be drunk and then write haikus. That is why it is called Drunken Haiku.
#14. Do you have facebook? Be careful not to post anything stupid or it may make this list of embarassing facebook posts.
#15. I can't believe there are some famous people who became famous by accident. Here are seven that were that lucky. It's funny how getting drunk gave Mel Gibson his big break and also basically ended his career.
I hope you enjoyed.

Great links! I disagree with one of the worst movie plots though...I thought Crash was a great movie.
Canadian fail
wonderful links:)
boxing helena was fucked up. I have actually seen that movie. Ugh...never let other people choose the movie you're going to watch.
the centipede movie looked really repulsive.
oh facebook stat updates...I have one that i captured of a friend, I dont know if i will ever put it up though
LOL #1 "I Now Pronounce Chuck and Larry" ... Wow, wtf, I read the plots for those movies and I admit, I actually physically felt kind of sick ... Probably because I have a very active, vivid imagination.
Those facebook status updates are the best... ! Man, never get tired of reading them... So many dumb people in the world... LOL! =P
My favorite; #3, #10 & #14.
the facebook status one were the best.
I was reading one thing and then clicked the link to this this here Kanye is retarded.
Hmm. I thought they almost named their band "Blaylock" or something like that but then went with Pearl Jam after the grandmothers (rumored) hallucinogenic jam. Not that Mookie Blaylock influenced the name directly. I don't know.
This is always fun.
ha that facebook link is just one of the many reasons why facebook is lame (btw, did i tell you that i hate facebook? yeah, i doooo
and Paul Schaffer as George Costanza?? omg can you even imagine that? lol
facebook quotes were funny. I don't have facebook for many reasons. Companies frequently try to get the dirt on their employees by reading their facebooks. It's getting to be like 1984. crazyness.
There will always be only one George Costanza.
And I wish I had the time at present to do more than just scan this entry very very quickly. We're going to see "Old Dogs" momentarily.
I'll be back.
@crazy2love -
I think that the Crash you are thinking of is the Oscar winning movie. This Crash is from 1996 and revolves around tv executive that has a car accident and discovers a subculture. If I remember correctly these people would purposefully cause car accidents so they could have sex. It was really creepy.
@Chinese_Sait0u -
I don't understand how a deer can be mistaken for an elephant.
@PeaceSearcher -
Thank you
@TheSecretLifeOfPandas -
Yes, I think that those movies are repulsive however every once in a while I like to watch messed up movies like that. It sort of makes me feel better about my life.
Yeah, I am apprehensive about letting people select a movie. I had to sit through some stupid animated crap the last time I let that happen.
@escaping_logic -
Yeah I look for stuff like that all the time on facebook but I think my friends over there are keen to my schemes.
@mZdejavuZ -
Oh there are so many movies out there that could make you sick just by reading the description but I enjoy movies like that from time to time. Makes me feel better about myself.
There was a facebook status update that was making the ways around the internet but it turned out the account was hacked and they wrote all this crap on this woman's wall.
@RestlessButterfly -
The best part of coaching against that one team was that they had a student dress as the mascot and she was not pleased to be wearing that outfit. I was in the press box filming and calling in plays and I could see this giant flower walking around crying.
@TheGiantSlayer -
Isn't that Cracked.com the best?
@NoGraySunflowers -
Oh that's it, the website didn't explain that thoroughly. If I remember right their original band name was Mookie Blaylock. Yeah, Eddie Vedder did say that about his grandma and her peyote laced jam. What is it with grandma's making hallucinogenic jams?
@tendollar4ways -
Glad you enjoyed
@TheSecretLifeOfPandas -
@godfatherofgreenbay - LOL! She's still upset that my friend made us watch "Bubba Hotep"
And I have no idea, but I'll bet she was the greatest and worst grandma ever.
@Peridot21 -
So if facebook is lame, do you have one? It is getting lame for me because I get all these Cause applications for causes that I think are "No duh". Also I can't begin to count the amount of farm requests I get.
@afuncynicalbash -
Did you hear about that lady who was on workers comp because of depression and her company looked at her facebook and judged from the photos that she wasn't depressed?
@twoberry -
It's funny who whenever I see Jason Alexander I refer to him as George even when he was playing poker in the World Series of Poker.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
didn't hear that one but I heard about a guy who said he was sick but his company checked his facebook and determined he couldn't be.
@NoGraySunflowers -
Bubba Ho-tep...awesome movie.
The thing with my grandma, she had a bad habit of never finishing her She also called Walmart, "Walmark" and Hallmark, "Hallmart".
@afuncynicalbash -
Oh and some good comes from the Big Brother aspect of facebook. I heard how a guy was acquitted of a crime because they determined he couldn't have been at the crime scene because he was updating and conversing through facebook.
Empty cities... how refreshing.
And Facebook is terrifying. Im so glad I have stayed away!
@theladyofabundance -
Yeah, sort of makes me pine for those zombie apocalypses the movies are promising. Oh and stay away from facebook, if you join people will deluge you with request to be in their mafia or help with their farm or join their sorority.
@godfatherofgreenbay - no, i do not have one... anymore
@godfatherofgreenbay - Hah! Lucky you caught those pricious moments.
@RestlessButterfly -
Yeah it's one of my great football memories.
I love that map of the movies. Thanks.
@curiousdwk -
Yeah that is a cool one and I love how they incorporate all the genres.
@NoGraySunflowers - hahahahahaha. I guess I will forever be upset.
