  • Lukewarm Links 1/20

    Today was my mom's birthday.  I didn't get her anything.  I felt bad.  She called me and asked if I could do some favors for her.  It's been a tough day on her side of the family with all the arrests...just watch CNN.  She had me fill up her car and add Heat and then I had to figure out what was wrong with her Tracphone.  She doesn't like to be tied down to a contract so she gets the Tracphone and of course she has amassed a lifetime of minutes and she forgot to add more so the phone expired.  Well I get it set up after a half hour and then fill her car.  She then informs me that I have to put away her Christmas decorations and set up a digital photo frame I got her for Christmas.  I guess that is present enough.  OK...boring part over...links.

    1.  Last week I posted a site about people as bread.  This week we have Cheese People.  Being from Wisconsin, I have found my Mecca.

    2.  I really hate airport security.  I don't get it.  Just because I want to sit around the airport all day and stare at people and talk in Arabic on my cellphone doesn't mean they need to feel up my nuts.  Even though the terrorists haven't attacked the U.S. since 9/11, they need to feel my balls before I get on a plane...MAKES SENSE TO ME!  Here's Fun with the TSA.

    3.  Have you ever wondered what Courtney Love wore today?  Well here is a site to help...What Courtney Wore Today.  I'm sure it's done by someone in Courtney's camp because they don't include photos of the days she decides to wear the stereotypical barrel held on the shoulders by suspenders.

    4.  I always get a kick out of reading Cosmo's sex advice because it is so off or at least none of what they say guys like does this guy like.  Here is an article called Bad Girl Sex that is ruined by a guy.  My favorite is the last one.

    5.  I found this website alleviated my fear of elevators because of their advertisements.  Maybe I'm not fearful.  I just avoid them.  There is something about them that when I go up and get off at my floor my body feels like it is still going up.  It's such a weird sensation.  I'm sure the French have a term for it.

    6.  Do you have a favorite curse word?  Mine is ****.  Cool the new editing feature works.  Let's see if it posts my social security number ***-**-****.  Wow, that's awesome!  You should totally try posting yours...hehe...anyway, here's a collection of curse words and where they got their origin.  It's hard to believe that the first time ************ was first seen in print in 1933.

    7.  I always disliked all the posters in my high school and college advertising the most mundane things.  "Do you like video games?  Don't like them too much and miss chapel"  Trust me that one happened every day for one semester.  Anyway here is a collection of every day posters.  The Elvis one can be seen in my bathroom.

    8.  You've heard of LOLCats.  You've heard of the dog equivalent site.  Well, here is Hungover Owls.  Who knew owls were nature's drunks?

    9.  Do you fondly reminisce of your childhood?  The internet has many sites for reminiscing but here is another called I'm Remembering.  Funny thing is, I taught The Sign of the Beaver in my classroom...innuendo free. 

    10.  I think reality TV is dead and 2010 was the worst year and here are the worst reality series of 2010

    11.  Remember back in the day when all people had to worry about ruining their career was a photograph?  Well here are ten people whose careers were ruined by photographs.  I still remember the Dukakis in the Tank one.  I think that was the first election that saw me cast a vote but then it was in my 3rd grade class.  Dukakis won because of that tank photo.  I tried to explain to my classmates that he was a weakling and wanted to slash the defense budget.  They didn't listen so I called them poopheads.  I had five minutes taken off my recess.

    12.  Flexible girls...I think it's safe for work...I really don't need to say anything other than flexible girls well other than if they're that flexible then they don't need me for anything.  See, just when I get interested in a girl they get flexible.

    Don't abuse it.
