  • Lukewarm Links 10/7

    Wellity wellity wellity...I love doing these posts.  I find something funny and you can share in the laughter with me...LOL...yeah...lame.  Oh did anyone see The Office?  Lately I have felt like Andy.  Enough of that, here's the links.

    1.  Have you ever sat back and wondered what color the Empire State Building was?  Well this site answers that question for you.

    2.  This week I was alerted by several people of this site called "Down for Everyone or Just Me?"  Now, if Xanga acts like crap for you, you can check if other people are experiencing the same problems.

    3.  Remember Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World?  Well they are no longer in Aurora, Illinois.  They have moved to England and they were spotted on Google Maps.

    4.  This is why America is a hated nation.

    5.  And so my Jello Americans, ask not for Jello but go to this website for awesome Jello creations.

    6.  If you have time to spare and someone you hate, here's a fun prank you can pull.

    7.  And people wonder why FOX News is detested.  Here are some actual screen captures from FOX News.

    8.  There are some movies out there that you have to like.  I mean if you don't like this movie then you would be considered a major douchebag and here is that list.  I'm surprised by a few of those titles and of course there is one movie on there that makes me a huge douchebag because I saw it and I hated it.  I won't tell you which because I don't want you thinking I'm a complete asshole.  I mean I really like you and I wouldn't want to hurt us in this stage of our friendship.

    9.  I'm a Christian.  I know it's hard to tell from my site.  I used to be an ordained minister.  I know it's really hard to tell.  Thing that have always baffled me about Christianity are the faith healers and televangelists and this link combines the two.  So is he curing people with the word of God or his coat?   Maybe it was Jesus' Nehru jacket.  Oh hell, I'd rather watch the nun with the eye patch.

    10.  Speaking of Christianity, here is a book that every Christian couple should receive on the day of their wedding.  I must confess, I once had sexual relations out of carnal lust without the intention of procreation and we didn't do it in the standard, church approved missionary position.  Do you know why Lutherans don't have sex standing up?  It may lead to dancing.

    11.  This site may come in handy if you ever find yourself battling the evil galactic empire on the ice planet of Hoth and your vehicle is shot down and you are forced to cut open a tauntaun for warmth from the harsh weather on Hoth.  OK, so maybe that won't happen but it is a website about cutting open animals for warmth and survival.

    12.  This is by far the most depressing website I have stumbled upon.  It is a lottery simulator.  You enter in five numbers and a powerball and have the option of how often you play those numbers.  The most I have ever won in the ten year period is breaking even.  Moral of the link: the lottery is a waste but play it because it funds schools.

    And if you haven't yet, read about My Balls.

    It's out there.  Oh yes, it's out there.

    I will no longer drink Sunny D.

    That pretty much sums it all up.

  • My Balls

    I thought since there is all this focus on breast cancer and female Xangans are posting photos of their breasts, I would take a second and post a photo of my balls.

    So here they are, my balls:

    Like I would really post a photo of my testicles here on Xanga.

    This is a story from a few years ago when I had a close call with what I thought was testicular cancer.  I felt a sharp pain in my groin and it went away so I thought nothing of it.  Anyway about two weekends later I was sitting around on a Friday night and I decided it was time for a self-examination of my testicles.  So maybe it wasn't really a self-exam but screw you for judging me.  It's not like you've never done that before.  OK I'm over it now.  I was "examining" and I found a lump on Ol' Lefty.  So I freaked out.  I was so scared.  Something like that isn't supposed to happen to a 25 year old guy (at the time).  I started worrying I would never have kids and I would lose my balls and women wouldn't want a guy who has no nuts and can't produce children.  I had visitors over that weekend and I think I was a little withdrawn from them.  I had a lot running through my mind.  I just couldn't talk about it.  Honestly, who goes up to their friends and says, "Hey, John, I have a lump on my testicle.  How about those Packers?"  I was thinking of going to the pastor for advice but how would I put it.  "Hey pastor, last night I was manipulating the ship's primary firing mechanism and I found a barnacle on the starboard side."  Yeah, like that would happen.  So I went to the doctor while I was at home visiting my family.  While my parents went to the grocery store I snuck out and went to the clinic.  I almost chickened out when I saw the receptionist.  This knock-out blonde...how am I going to tell her I have a lump on my balls?  Well, I told her that I had a skin condition that the doctor needed to check out.  The doctor saw me right away which was odd because usually a nurse pre-examines and a doctor just checks out.  He came in and I told him and he looked at it and said I had a cyst.  I was foolish and just felt the lump and didn't go further into my exam.  He said it wasn't cancer because it wasn't on the testicle.  Yes he pulled my satchel to show me.  He removed the cyst with a scalpel which was a little scary.  So he stitched me up with two stitches and everything was all swell.  He said that it was good that I examined myself and when I found something I went in.  The doctor also said and I quote "It takes a lot of balls to do what you did today." Apparently most guys just shrug it off and it's too late when they find it and they might have to lose Ol' Lefty or Righty.  He also said that I should try to look at this with humor.  Yeah, I thought I wouldn't ever have kids but now I am thinking that the swelling might attract the females.  Guys feel your balls.  It's a serious issue.  I didn't even have cancer and it scared me.   Girls stop thinking about balls and examine your breasts.  Early detection is the key.  Sorry not to just focus on my balls but I do support the fight against breast cancer.  Just remember the words of Tom Green, who lost his balls:

    Hey kids feel your balls
    So you don't get Cancer
    Hey kids feel your balls
    So you don't get cancer
    Feel your balls
    Squeeze your balls
    Tease your balls
    Please your balls
    Early detection is the key
    Rub your balls and you won't get cancer
    Hey kids feel your balls
    So you don't get Cancer
    Hey kids feel your balls
    You don't want cancer
    Rub your balls
    Squeeze your balls
    So you don't get cancer
    MASTURBATE EVERYDAY!
    Hey kids feel your balls
    So you don't get cancer
    Hey kids rub your balls
    So you don't get cancer
    RUB YOUR BALLS WHILE MASTURBATING!
    Hey kids rub your balls,
    While masturbating looking for lump
    If you find a lump
    Then go to the doctor
    And get your testicle removed
    RUB YOUR TESTICLES,
    WHILE MASTURBATING OR WHILE NOT MASTURBATING!
    Rub your balls for no reason
    Other then for checking for cancer
    Or rub your balls
    Specifically for the only reason of
    Checking for cancer
    Or rub your balls
    Only for pleasure
    Or for pleasure and
    For checking for cancer at the same time
    You can pleasure your balls
    And also check for cancer
    At the same time
    You can pleasure yourself
    And also check for cancer
    At the same time
    TWO BIRDS, ONE STONE!
    Pleasure your balls
    And check them for
    Cancer at the same time

    Seriously, check yourself.  God won't strike you down for touching yourself to see if you are in tip-top shape. 

  • Fun will commence in...

    I am the square peg in the non-Euclidean holes, the itching and burning that no ointment will ever soothe, the safari guide for a landscape that few people know exists, and the kamikaze pilot headed for the vast wasteland of suburbia.

    Now, who wants to join me and have fun?

    -Compile a monthly calendar of events that include free food (art openings, city council extravaganzas, etc.) and circulate it to hungry people.  Better yet, start a website detailing all the free food events.  There used to be one called foodboner.org but it mysteriously disappeared.  If you are in the Twin Cities, Jimmy John's, Milios, Subway, and Brueger Brothers give away old bread and bagels every night.

    -You can approach restaurants and grocery stores as a representative of a charity group, asking for their leftovers. You should be able to gather enough food this way to provide for a number of people—perhaps a free grocery program for a poor neighborhood, or a weekly communal meal in a public place. 

    -Put glass etching solution on windows of corporations or agencies that need wake-up calls.  Bricks cause too much attention.  If you want to make a point, use a stencil such as:
    -Learn havoc with magnets.  To be part of this you have to know how a fucking magnet works, sorry juggalos.

    -Take free envelopes available at Federal Express stores and put them up at random locations such as bus stops, bathroom stalls, corporate elevators, etc. and fill them with maps to hidden treasure.

    -Protect yourself from tear gas by holding rags soaked in vinegar or lime juice over your mouth and nose and by wearing swim goggles. 

    -Get mis-mixed paint at hardware stores for little to no cost.  Think of all the fun one can have with paint.

    -Free refills at a fast food joint by fetching a used cup and asking for refills.

    -Write to companies and tell them that you were shocked by how bad their product was.  They will usually send free products or coupons for new products.

    -Get free press passes to attend concerts and similar events simply by approaching the promoters as a representative of the media. You’ll probably get more privileged treatment than any of the paying customers. A press pass might also help you to get past security or even cross national borders in an emergency.

    -Improve your chances of being picked up and treated well while hitchhiking by dressing in dark pants and a white shirt with a tie and perhaps a name tag—that is, as a young Mormon on mission! Pick up some free Mormon bibles at your nearest tabernacle for authenticity. If anyone asks serious questions, what better form of cultural terrorism than to spread a little fun misinformation?

    -Protect your home from police dogs by laying down a thin line of cayenne pepper across each doorway. The dogs will pause to sniff it on their way in, and won’t be able to smell anything else for a while.

    -Make a hand warmer by filling a cloth bag with dry beans (and rice, or corn) and microwaving it. It should retain heat for a couple hours.

    -Make non-commissioned public sculptures with paper maché by heating three parts water and two parts corn starch until it becomes thick. Let it cool a bit, and apply it to newspaper to make it stick together.

    -Go to Walmart, find frozen fish, discard in women's underwear section

    -Give AIDS to world leaders attending a UN summitt.  The cure for AIDS will be found within days.

    -Piss on a plate and freeze it.  Then slide the frozen piss disc under doors.

    -Release three pigs into a police station with the numbers "1", "2" and "4" painted on their sides.

    -Pour talcum powder in the opening of a hair dryer.

    -Move everyone's mail down one house to ensure they meet the neighbors.

    -Swap the bags inside cereal boxes at the grocery. Super glue them shut. Grapenuts goes well in Coco puffs boxes.

    -Be really prepared for tax season this year by taking each and every form home from the post office.

    -Never say "I think you have the wrong number." Ask "Are you a friend of the family? I have some very bad news . . ."

    - Lab coats are relatively inexpensive, and well worth the respect you are given in hospitals by trusting strangers.

    -Black electrical tape covers the little light sensors on auto-flushing toilets really well.

    -Print and hang signs saying "Elevator closed, please use stairs" on tall buildings. Do your part to promote exercise.

    -Get free cell phone chargers by going to a hotel and saying you left one in your room. They have boxes full of spares

    -There are thousands of cards a the Hallmark store. Sign some, just to reach out and say hi to a stranger.

    -At Best Buy, hide popular software titles and DVDs in the floor model microwaves. Think of it like an Easter egg hunt.

    -Set all clocks you can get a hold of back by one hour.

    -Rearrange Nativity Scenes to have a different narrative. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is important, but doesn't have a holiday.

    -Put cut live public Christmas Trees out of their misery. Put a cup of salt into the water in their base.

    -The Dunn Brothers book store on Lake Street in Minneapolis has a book shelf of free books.  You know what to do.

    -Many upscale liquor stores have free wine tasting on Friday nights.  They also can't sell opened bottles and most just toss them.  Check dumpsters for bottles with wine.

    -At most bars in Minneapolis one can trade in an AA chip for a free drink but this is very insensitive.

    - Silly String makes any movie theater more fun

    -Help make Xmas extra special this year. Hang "out of order" signs on all the mall bathroom stalls this December 23rd.

    - Leave a forged memo describing the closing / bankruptcy of your office on the office photocopier. Include names/dates

    -Get a white cane. Pretending you are visually impaired, use it to cut in line and deliberately bump into people.

    -When approaching a group of the opposite sex, always ask out the ugly one.

    -Many college cafeterias are lax when it comes to food.  Go in and score a free meal.  I did this when I went to Twins games.

    -When dining at a restaurant, claim to have lost you phone.  Leave while staff is searching.

    -Graffiti religious schools with tags from other religions.

    -You have to understand that you are not special, you are not beautiful or a snowflake.  You might think you are special, beautiful and a snowflake but you have just lost the game.

    -You must know consider that God does not like you nor does he want you.

    -Beat the system to create a new system

    Yeah...these are old, what you going to do about it?
    Know that in doing this, I do this out of love for you.
    We are the squeak in the door of normalcy, the naughty girls and boys throwing coal unto Dante's BBQ, the fart at the board meeting, and the tapeworm in the colon of society.
