  • Lukewarm Links 6/10

    Well I am back with another round of links.  I thank all of you for your comments and recs on my guide to the world cup.  I will actually be posting another guide tomorrow so be on the lookout for that one.

    1.  I know this is old but I had to share it.  It's a crossover Super Mario game.  You can play as other characters besides Mario in the original Mario world.  Do you know how many pre-teen dreams I had thinking of Simon Belmont or Samus Arun blasting goombas?  12.

    2.  For no reason here are the 20 most Boobtastic Athletes of all time.

    3.  I sometimes make typos on my blog and I often share a spelling error a student made that had me in tears because it was so damn funny.  Anyway, here's a collection of some funny typos.  Oh and the story...we were learning about World War 1 and I taught the students about the leader Ferdinand Foch.  Then the test came and I gave them a list of people they could use in the essay portion.  This one kid misspelled Foch.  He wrote Fuck.  "Fuck did good things for the troops."

    4.  I am trying to get into acting and what better place to look for auditions then Craigslist.  Here is my first audition.  Hopefully I will see some of you there.  Just kidding, I could never be an actor especially not when my mom tells me I have the perfect face for radio.

    5.  Wikipedia has interesting pages dealing with sex especially sex positions.  Someone tipped me off to the entry for 69.  It was pretty standard until it started talking about Rudyard Kipling.

    6.  Do you frequent strip clubs?  Well neither do I but for those of my readers that do, here's a handy little guide to proper etiquette at the strip club.  If you go, you should read this because you don't want to get thrown out by bouncers.

    7.  Here is another reason why I am not allowed to have children.  I would make them read this page on safety.

    8.  I was trying to talk a friend into playing this new drinking game called Bros Icing Bros.  Well if you want to play in the eventuality that we ever meet, here is what it's all about.

    9.  This website is dedicated to the artistic side of food.  Usually whenever I look at brocoli, I reel in disgust and can find no artistic merit.

    10.  You have seen the bikini shirt and the tuxedo shirt.  Now comes the dick towel.  Finally a new way to overcompensate.  I was getting sick of carrying handguns everywhere and driving in my truck with 50 inch tires.

    11.  Do you enjoy video games but you're Christian and find that most video games are way too violent and sacrilegious?  Well here are some crossover Christian video games.  The funny thing about the Rock Band entry is that there is an actual version of Guitar Hero dedicated to Christian rock.  It's called Guitar Praise.  I'm just upset that Billy Graham's Bible Busters didn't make the list.

    12.  Are you a nerd like me and pretend that you are in the Star Wars movies in the role of your favorite character?  Well the good folks over at jibjab have now made that possible.  You can insert your photo into one of the lead roles in this fun little movie.  Now if only I could find a photo of myself.

    I'm including some videos because this is my blog and I say we need some videos. 
    This is a fun little video about gay marriage. 

    Ahh...kids, aren't they just precious.

  • The Xenophobe's Guide to the World Cup

    Because I am an American and the U.S. is in the World Cup, the only team that matters is the U.S.  Not only will this be a xenophobic guide to the World Cup but also it's a guide for those who failed history class.

    The U.S. is in Group C.  I have a problem with them being in a group named "C".  That denotes we are average.  The United States isn't just average, we're the best.  We should be in our own group since all the nations around the world ask us for help in their times of struggle.  Hell, they should just hand us the World Cup on a platter because we are the masters of this world.  Does it matter that I can't name one U.S. player?  Hell, no!  We're the United Fucking States and we will be victorious!

    Game 1 U.S.A vs England June 12 1:30PM CST televised on ABC
    Oh so the English hate us so much that they have taken to the streets of Liverpool and are burning our flag.  Do you see our government stepping in and bombing the shit out of England because they are responsible for the oil spill in the Gulf of America?  No, we are a peace loving people and our government does jack shit despite it being the best government in the galaxy.  England is going to beg us to stop the onslaught of goal after goal just like they begged us to help them after the Germans bombed London.  Did you see us begging for help after the Japanese bombed Washington D.C.?  No, we're Americans.  We hiked up our sleeves and beat their asses.  Look out, Wayne Rooney is turning red.  I bet it's because he's a commie because they have national health care over there.  The English better remember the beating they got after making us their subjects and burning down our capitol, New York.  What has England done for the world?  I can only think of five things: "The Office", "All in the Family", the Bible, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones.  After the ass-kicking the Yanks unleash, the English will go back to their huts and contemplate dental care and think up good sitcoms for American viewers while sipping their tea.

    Game 2 U.S.A. vs Slovenia June 18 9AM CST televised on ESPN and Univision
    Can a country that I can't find on the map be an actual threat?  If you can find it can you actually pronounce the name of their capitol?  I bet the U.S. has helped them out of plenty of tight spots but no aid package will help them escape a sure defeat.  I know the next bailout the U.S. should hand out.  They need to send some vowels to Slovenia...thank you The Onion. 

    Game 3 U.S.A. vs Algeria June 23 9AM CST televised on EPSN
    This will be the easiest match for the U.S. to win.  Why am I so sure?  Well in something like 1800 the French invaded Algeria and conquered it.  That's right, the limp wristed, chain smoking, hands in the air to show constant surrender, not showering, French defeated them.  How the hell do they expect to play defense against the United States.  You know Algeria's biggest claim to fame in the economic arena is oil.  I bet they think they fuel the U.S.  Well I have three words for them goofs: DRILL BABY DRILL!  They also think they are so great offering the world an olive spread but the funny thing is to get anyone to buy it they have to give it an Italian name.  I went to wikipedia and found the national motto of Algeria is الجمهورية الجزائرية الديمقراطية الشّعبية بالشّعب وللشّعب  What the hell sort of motto is that?  It looks like something a preschooler writes when they are pretending to sign the Declaration of Independence.  They should try something more American like our motto: E Pluribus Unum.  One thing I have to give credit to Algeria for having is no freedom of religion but if I actually gave them credit for that, I'd have to hang myself because that is treason.

    Even though this is just the preview for the group play, you know damn well the U.S. is going to win it all.

  • Cleaning Out the Photo Files

    Because I don't think many people were interested in Deadwood, I am going to post photos on Wednesdays until I can figure out something new.  Maybe a guest blogger or I'll bring back my album reviews, who knows, I'm nutty like that and totally predictable.

    I can't believe that as a Wisconsinite and resident of a tourist town am about to say this but congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks.  I guess starting tomorrow all the Illinois tourists will be wearing Blackhawks gear.

    I'd watch a version of Fear and Loathing with cats as the stars.  I think it'd be the closest thing to being as high as Thompson without doing drugs.

    Really?

    Well that sounds legit.

    Taste the rainbow!  I could totally see myself getting into Rainbow Brite.

    It's true, it's true.

    Here we see two of my greatest fantasies.

    Now that is one protester we can all agree with.

    And apparently some Xangas try to live up to those standards

    Worst. Person. Ever!

    This is the first photographic evidence that the blumpkin exists.

    I'd hate to see what they did to get first place but if it gets out I'm sure someone will receive a dishonorable discharge.

    I wonder if anyone knows who this is.

    The only kind of Ford I would love to ride.

    MMMM....my type of whiskey

    How true is this?

    I miss Mankato.

    Here we see a gingerbreadsheman.  That reminds me, I have to do some baking.

    SUMMER FUCKING ROCKS!
