Lukewarm Links 10/14
Here we are another set of links. I really have nothing to say. Today was...Thursday. I didn't get a chance to do much this evening because of a meeting and because of that I wasn't able to make a phone call. Sometimes I feel like...I don't know, just weird. Anyway enjoy the links.
1. There once was a TV show called Kids Say the Darnedest Things. Well they also write strange letters. Here's a collection from Huffington Post. I think the first one is fake because I don't know many kids that could make it through the best date movie ever, The Deer Hunter.
2. I have been toying with the idea of starting my own blog outside of Xanga...don't worry, I'm not really going anywhere it was just a lead in to this joke...and I've seen that the domain name one choose is very important to the site. Here is a collection of some of the worst domain names out there. The good people at Pen Island forgot to hyphenate their name.
3. I remember years ago, I posted a collection of Jesus figurines with children playing a variety of sports. There was also a series of paintings of Jesus being with people as they take part in their various activities. Well someone captioned these photos and we have this collection. I guess I get a kick out of it because sometimes that is how I feel God sees me.
4. This is already considered an ancient meme but a while back while promoting that one movie that I didn't see because Rolling Stone loved it, Michael Cera was photographed prancing and it gave birth to the meme Prancing Cera. I find it difficult not to think of prancing when I see Cera now.
5. This, by far, is the best email exchange from the people are 27bslash6. That "bear" looks ferocious.
6. Do you ever shop at Amazon? Do you read customer reviews? Have you ever noticed some that were horrible and didn't help? Well this website is devoted to the not so helpful product reviews. I now know I will never see Wall E for all that damn environmental brainwashing.
7. I can't remember if I posted this link before but it was in my unused section. It's another old meme. Inception was not only a great movie but it gave us this meme, Strutting Leo. I have posted a few of those before so if you remember them, enjoy.
8. This is a fun little site for Twitter users. Type in your screen name and watch people follow you as if you were in a parade. I enjoy seeing people from Xanga following me, people who have maybe looked at my site once or twice and that was it. I think there is at least one Xangan following me that for a while had me blocked because I posted some naughty photos. Little do they know how I use Twitter....mwhahahahahamwhahahaahmwhahaha
9. A while back I had this strange dream that I had gas. That may not seem strange but in the dream my gas was so powerful that one night I was sitting at my desk and let one rip and all systems were go and the force from the gas propelled me into outer space. I think the people at Bottom Rocket got inside my head.
10. Want more proof that there is a finite number of songs available to mankind? Here's a collection of songs that sound the same. Isn't it odd that most of those are pop songs? No, not really.
11. This is one of my favorite webcomics. I always wondered what Hitler would be like if he were around today and what would he be like if he was a hipster. Well those questions have been answered in Hipster Hitler.
12. One of the Xanga blogging topics is about stay at home moms and blah blah blah blah...Here's a collection of very hot homemakers. Now if I could get one of them here to churn my butter because I could really go for some fresh butter and that's it...pervs.
Word play...I love it.
My neighborhood is getting tough.
I was out driving and snapped some photos. This was taken on top of a ridge in Wisconsin. You are looking at my uncle's farm.
This patch of trees and brush was the site of one of my near death experiences. I was hunting and had shot a deer. I was trailing it and was very excited because it was a huge buck. I swear I counted 14 points. I had to blood trail and was running with my loaded shotgun and it was sleeting. Well I didn't step on a log correctly and I slipped, gun flies out of my hand, I hit the ground on my back, the gun lands butt first barrel pointed at my head and I hear a click. It misfired. I had to change my pants. I never did find the deer.
This was another patch of forest. I missed the prime leave colors. It got cold, they changed to bright colors, I got busy, wind storm comes through and blows a majority down, it heats up and we are now left with primarily brown leaves.
I always love the variety of trees in my area. That is a pond in the foreground with all the reeds. I can't tell all the types of trees but I know some are pine. I didn't take any photos of sumac leaves because I couldn't find any. People must have picked them for smoking. I'll have to post the rest at a later point.

Thanks for the links. You always find and post the most unusual things!
I hope I never get a letter from a child that says Hope you get lots of presents for Christmas...and you're fat. That would destroy me! I laughed so hard when I read those!
Sorry you are feeling weird. Hmmm....?
#6 is very funny.
# 9 is a riot! Jesse and the Rippers! Ha!
You find the coolest, funnest links!
And that pic of the baby is hilarious!
That bear in #5 looks a little suspicious.
Those pics of your area are very beautiful.
Ooo pretty pics... are they recent? i ask, because we've still got (mostly) green leaves on all of the trees here... course, that's the difference between the north and south.
Oh, and now...... i want donutssss!!!
@fortheloveofblogging -
Yeah...I love the unusual. It makes life more interesting.
@JUST_ME_1984 -
I saved letters kids wrote to me when I was a teacher. Funny stuff...I never did get to save an essay a kid wrote where he misspelled a general's name. The name was Foch and I will let you use your imagination to figure out the misspelling
@adamswomanlost -
That bear is bound to lick my face until I...walk away? I really don't know the motivation behind the bottom rockets but they are funny and remind me so much of that dream.
I am glad you enjoy these.
@Peridot21 -
Those were taken on Tuesday when I was out and about. I took a day and drove up by my uncle's farm and then to a cemetery to collect flower pots from my grandparents' graves.
You can have a donut but not one of mine. So which are your favorite, raised or cake?
@godfatherofgreenbay - heyyyy, you won't share??? okay then, be that way! ...but be warned, i'm goin' into pouting mode!!! =P ...as for my favorite, if i *had* to choose, it would be raised ...however, i do like the cake kind as well ...yummmmy! (yep, still DEFIANTLY want donutssss!) =D
@Peridot21 -
OH OK, you really know how to get a donut. I donut like (see what I did there) raised donuts so Krispy Kreme appeals to me not. I had a student try to convert me but it didn't work. Cake all the way but then I think that's because the convenience store a block from my house makes them and I get the cake ones fresh.
@godfatherofgreenbay - hahaha caps lock even! ...you think that's somethin', you should see how i am when it's important and IRL ...be afraid, be very afraid! heh =P ...i know what you mean about Krispy Kreme, one has to be pretty much starving to like those (which is why i liked them in college lol ...not so much anymore, though) ...oh, and yes, i see what you did there ...you're a clever one, you are! =)
@Peridot21 -
Yikes...now I am scared.
There was a drive through Krispy Kreme place about an hour from my current house and that was the only one I knew of. I think the Kwik Trips put it out of business. I saw it every time I drove home to visit my parents while in college and living in Minnesota. Now a Buffalo Wild Wings was built over it.
Your photos bring back childhood feelings of driving from Chicago to Waukesha. I forgot how farmy drive was. I feel like sending you some cozy slippers. brrrrrr. (just around the corner).
The lil kid pic make me lol. Pretty pics at the end. LOL at prancing Cera.. Guess on what link i stayed the most
@POETIC_ISIS -
I'll have to find the photos of my boots in the snow after a snowfall of 17 inches.
@ccRowp -
I love living in the country areas for scenery like that however the wildlife crossing the roads at night can be hazardous.
