  • Lukewarm Links 7/29

    I had to make a courier run to a hospital this evening.  That was fun.  I had to stand in line and wait because this little old guy must have had failing hearing aids because the things were buzzing and making my ears bleed.  After that I went to a hardware store to just browse.  It makes me feel manly.  I was also looking at prices for bear hunting licenses.  Yeah, I'm feeling the need for NFL so I looked to see how much it would cost to massacre some bears.  I'll leave that to the Packers.  Also, I think next time I go back I am going to get my fishing, small game, and deer hunting license.  It was such a bargain to get all three in one package.  Now if I could lie and tell them I was 65.  Then a visit to a Mexican restaurant where they play up the stereotypes..."Hey homes...you want some salsa?"  The best Jewish reality star was voted off Big Brother.  Screw that show!  OK links...

    1.  Here is a collection of FAIL videos that will make you feel better.  My favorite is the last one.  There are so many times when I drive through Chicago-land and I am tempted to do that at toll booths.

    2.  Do people still use ChatRoulette?  Anyway, here's a collection of reaction videos.  Some of those are quite classic.  It's funny how people over at 4chan post gif files to make people think they are talking with Justin Bieber.  I think I am going to start that.

    3.  This website is called Shitbrix.  It is a collection of Motivation posters that are "when you see it" variety.  I stopped posting those because some of them were impossible to see.

    4.  I like animals.  Some are quite tasty and some provide wonderful companionship.  Now, the sign of a true animal is if it is American and awesome.  Check out these true American animals.

    5.  I think we have found the Pulitzer prize winning article of the year.  It gets the prize just for the headline: Finger in Butt Crack Sparks Knife Fight.

    6.  A few days ago, I was watching Sportscenter and they showed a Florida Marlins player give another player a shaving cream pie in the face.  Well when he attempted to give the pie, he slipped and hurt his knee.  That got me thinking of other stupid sports injuries.  Check out this list.

    7.  One recent internet meme that has really taken off is Sad Keanu.  It's sad but so funny.

    8.  Remember all the way back to 2006?  It was a magical year.  They played the World Cup and one of the most infamous incidents transpired.  French legend Zinedine Zidane headbutted a player from Italy in the finals of the World Cup.  That headbutt inspired many gifs to be made and here are just a few.

    9.  I found this interesting article over at Mental Floss.  It is a collection of fictional characters whose full names aren't known...until now.  My favorite is Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs

    10.  We all know Mel Gibson is a racist.  Don't defend him.  Up until now we've only heard his racist rants.  Well here is photographic evidence that Mel has been keeping the black man down for many years.

    11.  Have you ever tried to barter on Craigslist?  There was that incredible story a few years ago where the guy started bartering with a piece of yarn and over the course of a few months wound up with a house through all his bartering.  Well here are some of the bizarre items that one can barter for at Craigslist.

    12.  A guy named Greg Rutter has taken it upon himself to write a letter to Lindsay Lohan for each day she is in jail.  I hope she gets them and reads them because they are great.  I wonder if she will understand them or if she can even read.

    Do you think this kid was ever picked on in gym class?

    I remember watching this video while at a chain store in the Cities.  I was debating whether or not to buy an HDTV.  I couldn't listen to the clerk because I was laughing too hard and had to leave the store.

    Ron Livingston hasn't had a great role since Band of Brothers.  I think this viral video will resurrect his career.

    Have a great night.
