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.

"...but we're live" ahahahahaaa ooops! =D
The glee kid--reminds me of Al Franken doing the "doggone it, people LIKE me" thing. Sounds like has a potentially awsome voice.
Regarding Mel: how the mighty have fallen. Don't know how pertinent it is--I love the movies he does--Braveheart, Passion of the Christ, Apocolypto. It's like Richard Wagner--he was a real miserable sonuvagun, but he knew how to write music.
I'm still laughing at the postcards to lohan. I re-posted the headline about crack almost killing. This was a great set of links.
We've gotta do this fucking thing over!!
All these links 'spoilt' my naiveness.
@Peridot21 -
I like to speculate that the video is the reason why Blyleven is not in the hall of fame.
@wrybreadspread -
YES! Stuart Smalley! I would love to see Franken do that schtick in Senate.
I always forget that Mel is associated with Apocalypto which is such an underrated movie.
@TheGiantSlayer -
I posted that link to the Butt Crack stabbing on my facebook and I lost friends...who knew fingers and butt cracks leading to stabbings were such a touchy subject.
@bosefius -
Just further proof that Bert has no business on TV and should be in the hall of fame.
@RestlessButterfly -
Oh I am sorry
@godfatherofgreenbay -
do you really want friends that can't find the humour in molestation and attempted murder?
It was painful to watch the Glee guy.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Don't be. I'm just kidding when posted my comment. I enjoyed reading your posts.
@TheGiantSlayer -
If they don't get my humor then they weren't my friends in the first place I guess
@NightlyDreams -
Yeah that one got to me too. I had to share it though, it's been in my links file for quite some time.
I'll never understand gays.. if they're allowed to openly serve in the military I may just have to find something else.
@godfatherofgreenbay -
that, and they may suck at life. I still think we should be friends on facebook. My Name is Jay Muratore. look me up.
@Dust_to_Dust84 -
Well I don't know if I would go that far. I guess I think that if anyone is willing to give their life to defend our democracy and country, then they should be allowed to regardless of race, religion, or orientation. Maybe I am just a little for that because the airport in my hometown is named after the only Native American in the World War II group, the Flying Tigers. Also I've talked to a lot of Korean War, Vietnam War, and World War II vets who've said they knew gays in the army when they served but when it came down to it, they didn't mind as long as they did their jobs.
WOW... that first video of that guy... is he real? Do you think thats really him? Or some serious acting? And the guy doing the cat video... I feel I should date him. You know, anyone who is ok being that ridiculous to make a video mocking the cat piano player... well, he might be fun.
Now links- The Finger in Butt story, especially the part about the butt clenching breaking the bed followed by the comment"Are you ready to die". Just makes me laugh... drugs had to have been involved!
@theladyofabundance -
That guy is real. He has a series of videos and they are all over the top like that. I have been thinking that he is vying to replace Rip Taylor but no one can replace Rip.
Ron Livingston is a great actor. He's been in numerous films but the only ones I can recall right now are Office Space and Band of Brothers.
Yes, drugs had to be involved. I posted that on my facebook and I lost a couple of friends. Apparently my friends don't condone those types of shenanigans.
