Lukewarm Links 4/29/2010
It’s bad luck to be superstitious.
I think it's stupid when people say "quality over quantity" because they won't throw out wrinkly dollar bills.
My brain isn't working so it's time for links...
#1. When I corrected essays I always cringed when my students forcefully used a metaphor where one wasn't called for. Here is a collection of some horrible metaphors and analogies. The one that makes me LMAO is "Her artistic sense was exquisitely refined, like someone who can tell butter from I Can't Believe It's Not Butter."
#2. Hopefully you don't make your pet wear clothing otherwise it could be on this list of demoralized animals wearing Easter Bunny ears.
#3. Have you found yourself to be quite hungry and in need of a snack but you didn't know what you wanted? Well here is a flow chart to help you make that difficult decision.
#4. I know it's a little late but Conan O'Brien pulled the greatest April Fool's prank of ALL TIME!
#5. A movie with a great plot will suck you in so that you will watch it in its entirety. Well some movies suck you in with bullshit tearjerk moments. Here is a list of five of those bullshit moves. SPOILER ALERT: I just saw Marley and Me. When the dog died, I was half expecting him to jump out of the grave and torment his family because he's a bad dog...a bad dog...yes, a very very bad dog.
#6. On occasion I fall asleep watching a DVD and it will play through and then go to the title screen and play music on a loop. Well if that has never happened to you then check out this website to see what falling asleep in some movies would be like when you woke up.
#7. This is why some of my students unfriended me on Facebook...I am 100% sure that is the reason why they unfriended me.
#8. And another tumblr site...Imagine a world where Barack Obama was constantly with Gary Busey. Well you don't have to imagine any longer.
#9. Remember above when I said Conan O'Brien pulled the greatest prank of ALL TIME? Well this guy pulled the WORST APRIL FOOL'S DAY PRANK OF ALL TIME!
#10. Years from now, when students are studying our society, they are going to classify these years as the second Renaissance of Mankind or as I purpose it should be called, The Bacon Renaissance. And this is why. Bacon+Star Wars=that tingly feeling I got in co-ed P.E. when we did a unit on swimming.
Lately, my daily commute has been hell yet rather rakish.
Have a great night, I love you guys.

i love your links!
Oh. Shit. WORST APRIL FOOLS PRANK OF ALL TIME.
conan's april's fool joke was pretty classy
Almost all the bad metaphors made me laugh out loud.
Wow, that was awesome... Probably one of your best "Lukewarm Links" I've seen so far!
"Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph."
So much fail its win.
Your photo at the end is classic. Who is the artist?
@SignificanceOfTheMightyClit -
See the best part is that when I go searching for these websites I sometimes stumble on weird photos like that one. I can't remember where I found it nor do I know the artist. I may have found it when I was doing my secret ninja like google skills to find music files hidden on websites.
@TheGiantSlayer -
I want to share something from an essay I once corrected during student teaching but it wasn't a horrible metaphor but just a horrible misspelling. We were studying WWI and the supreme leader of the Allies was Ferdinand Foch. Well one boy, despite having the correct spelling in the essay word bank, misspelled Foch. He used a similar four letter word over and over again in the essay. I was in tears correcting that one.
@mZdejavuZ -
Wow...really? I thought these were subpar. Now I have something to aim for next week.
@Another_Perfect_Wonder -
That site makes me want to teach high school English just so I can add the metaphors of my students to that website.
@Paul_Partisan -
I think the real joke is on NBC this Sunday in his 60 Minutes interview.
@Chinese_Sait0u -
I wonder how true that is...either way, it's wrong
@noree_n -
Thanks!
@apyus -
Well I am the straight man in my posts that I write with my cock
@apyus -

@godfatherofgreenbay -
