Lukewarm Links 12/30
I never realized people liked these posts so because a certain Xangan has went on strike until I post some links, I guess I ought to post some links. It took me a while to find these so I hope you enjoy.
1. I'm a little late with some of these links but because I actually decided to participate in the holiday season I didn't have the time to post all of these. Anyway, here's a collection of questionable Hanukkah products. I can't stand the inflatable decorations of any holiday.
2. If you're like me and god I hope you're not, you enjoy comedy. Wait, I'd like you to enjoy comedy because if not then you would have no use for me. OK, if you want to find a present for me, Huffington Post has an excellent gift guide for people like me.
3. I found this link after Christmas Day Caturday. I wanted to post the photos but I couldn't so check out cats telling The Night Before Christmas. What is this water-like substance flowing from my eyes?
4. Are there any guys out there that just got married and don't know what to get the wife for your first Christmas present as man and wife? The Mustang Core is way better than the Shakeweight.
5. I'm a nerd and I often find myself wishing I could decorate my house with Star Wars or Dr. Who themed Christmas decorations. Well, now I no longer need to wish because here are some do it yourself decorations.
6. And if you are into making gingerbread houses, try to make one realistic, like this gingerbread crack house.
7. This is the best fucking site to get your fucking stationary.
8. This is a fun little site a Xangan turned me onto. It's called Guess Her Muff. See they take a normal photo of a woman and then you guess what her muff looks like and then you click to see if you were correct. How awesome is that! Thank god for alcohol lowering inhibitions. And if you couldn't guess, NSFW...sorry I have a fetish for naked ladies.
9. This is a list of the top 10 retweeted tweets on Twitter this year. Some of my tweets were better than that, not to brag. Who could resist my live-tweeting of watching this goddess pick her nose?
10. The snow is disappearing here because it is unseasonably warm but I can guarantee whatever we lose in the past few days, we'll regain come February. Anyway here is a collection of snowmen that you won't see that often...unless you come to my house when it snows again.
11. Much like these kids, I hated visiting Santa. It's just a strange concept for people to willingly place their children in a stranger's lap and to have the children whisper what they want. But I have to save this site in case anyone ever wants me to play Santa. I think I will model myself after #10 or #14 or even #15.
12. And now, the greatest website I have found in 2010, a site titled THE RESULTS ARE IN! It's a collection of gifs, photos, and videos of the Maury Show. When I first found this site, I think I spent hours going through every post. ENJOY!
I got myself a new toy for Christmas...I got a new printer and scanner. I also found a photo album containing some photos of my grandfather.
GrandfatherofGodfatherofGreenBay?
Not only was he an expert hunter and fisherman, he also was the youngest business owner in Wisconsin in those years. He was a sought after harness maker and so many people associated with horse races demanded his products. He also raised beagles. And he had a magnificent pompadour.I also got myself a cheap digital video camera. If only I could get myself a better cameraman.
And here is the only photo I could find of myself...
It was a sports card my parents had. So many years ago and so many torn knee ligaments ago...sigh.

After I go through these, I will return to writing. Thank you.
@TheGiantSlayer -
And to make sure you got the message, I also sent you a link on facebook
You look every inch a sports start good sir
As soon as you said "bottom" the Midwest in you became more obvious. The word "snow" is very (don't hate me)MN or Canadian. Nice voice. Deep. Did you say "bust out with my laser"? Wow! You don't have to go far to go to the library.
Oh yeah melt baby melt, I don't really care what it does later just so long as we don't have three feet on the ground all winter.
Enjoyed the guessing site, although I am not a good guesser.
lol "black man given nation's worst job."
quite a little winter we've got going on outside, no?
nice pics. thanks for posting them.
omg...kiki's face in one of your video thumbnails. from a distance....
We got to see your pic AND hear your voice! YAY!!! You have a nice voice,btw!! =D "GrandfatherofGodfatherofGreenBay" is just right! xD Happy New Year
loved the last one. i want my own
so cool to hear your voice, srsly cool ... when you say words like "snow" or "out", you sound very Wisconsin-y ... reminds me of my family and friends in the good ol' midwest. ;) ... also love the pics, they're great!
I of corse love the kitty link for christmas. In fact I'm going to share that link with a sick friend because I think it'll brighten her day.
You're grandfather kind of looks like a mobster in one of those pictures
I guess free drinks makes any day special. lol. Well, you have us to entertain you.
Here is a free drink courtesy of Wonder's Cafe
@WondersCafe -
Thanks for the drink. I will have to check more of what your menu offers.
@POETIC_ISIS -
Hmm even more accents to add to the list of what people have said I speak with....and look at that, in true Wisconsics fashion I end my sentence with a preposition. Yeah it is so nice to be able to walk down my driveway and cross the street and up a few stairs and I'm right at the library.
@ElevenStones -
I am a poor guesser too but that is what makes the game enjoyable.
Before the heat wave, the snow was up to my knees. Now it's barely up to my ankles.
@complicatedlight -
LOL I just noticed that about the thumbnail...pretty soon I'll have the FBI party van at my house for posting kitty porn.
I love how it was 40 at 8PM last night and at 8AM I have on the radio and they are saying windchills are at -36. Nothing like a good old fashioned 76 degree switcheroo to make me appreciate living in the upper Midwest.
@nov_way -
Thank you, maybe then I should share my reading of a short story by Mark Twain.
@sw33tw3asl3 -
I wonder how valuable my card is.
@Peridot21 -
awww now I'm blushing. I knew people would love the accent.
@NightlyDreams -
I hope it cheered your friend.
Yeah, that is sort of why I posted those photos of my grandfather.
awww you were soooo cute!!!
@godfatherofgreenbay - yayyyy i made you blush!
... and, yeah, your accent is pretty obvious lol ... the people who live next door to my parents' lake house, up there in the north woods, are from Green Bay, and you sound pretty much like them... actually, exactly like them! 
@Peridot21 -
Wow...and even though I'm the godfatherofgreenbay I live no where near Green Bay. Sweet...a Green Bay accent.
I have a question to ask you, you have said you've lived all over, what is your accent?
@faustuosa -
Aww thank you and now I blush
@godfatherofgreenbay - ha ok, what i meant was, it's a *Wisconsin* accent.
... as for my accent, it's weird cause different people hear different things (i guess it depends on certain words? idk... ) some people hear my (little bit of leftover) Chicago accent right off, and some people hear my (alleged... yes, alleged) new jersey accent (they're wrong though lol) ... i do have a bit of a southern accent (and can turn that up real big if'n i feel like it 
... hmm does any of that even make sense??? lol
@Peridot21 -
Oh yeah that makes perfect sense. The weird thing about accents is that when I immerse myself in a TV show I can pick up accents. One Christmas break a few years ago, I watched all the available seasons of The Sopranos and when classes resumed I was in front of the class and the kids were laughing. They thought I sounded like Tony Soprano. Then a few years later I was watching Rome and picked up an English accent. Now I wish I could parlay that gift into something worthwhile. Oh and I pick up a Chicago accent when all the tourists invade my town.
@godfatherofgreenbay - she thought they were cute so I guess it did
