  • Lukewarm Links 2/17

    Wellity wellity wellity...here we are again...clean up on aisle 5.  Damn, The Office was great tonight.  I hate to say it but if I were on that staff I would consider ending the series after this season so that it could go out on a high note but what do I know, I watched the Cavemen series and submitted my ideas.  Too bad they canceled that show; I could have saved it...two words: flashback sequences.  Oh I keep going on and you don't care, you want links.  well here they are.

    1.  Kim Jong Il has the greatest job in the world.  He just goes around looking at things.  Don't believe me?  Then take a look at Kim Jong Il Looking at Things.  I so want to be a dictator.  Maybe I can be the next dictator of Wisconsin. 

    2.  There was an episode of Family Guy where Peter fed Magnum P.I. who was on the screen of his TV and then when the shot cut to Higgins he scolded Higgins because he was already fed.  Well that got me thinking, "Is Family Guy funny or hilarious?"  And then I wondered, "Do people actually feed inanimate objects?"  Well they do and here's Feeding Objects.

    3.  When I see politicians I automatically thing "Mean Girls".  Well someone else did and they made a successful tumblr called Mean Girls in the White House.  Yeah I can't describe it correctly, you just have to see it.

    4.  I remember a person in a minority cultures class in college saying that he understood the plight of African Americans because he was a waiter at a Denny's.  That was one of the only times in college that my laughter disrupted the class.  I don't know where I'm going with this but here's I Studied Abroad.  Read the description to get the proper feel of the site.

    5.  Terry Richardson is a photographer and this is his photo diary.  Xanga sure could use some popular photographer to have a photo diary but then they would need their photo uploader to work properly.

    6.  One thing I have always disliked in movies is when they cut to a flashback and they show the main character as a child and the child looks nothing like the actor.  Here's a collection of those casting moments but they aren't all bad, some are pretty good.  Oh and for those close to me, you'll understand why I love February 6th even if he dyed his hair.

    7.  I know some of you don't believe when I say that I am Christian but I guess that is a bad indictment on my part.  I just don't want to go shoving my beliefs down your throat and I would like your respect in not doing that to me.  Anyway, enough of that, one thing I have disliked in church is how pastors and priests have horrible vestments(their uniforms).  I know I posted this link to Bad Vestments before but a friend who is a pastor showed me this stole...I tawt I taw a sitty stole.

    8. If you are a small guy and have a difficult time keeping a condom on, there is now a trash bag condom.  Put it on and tighten it just like a trash bag.  I immediately think of Willie Nelson in Half Baked, "You know how much condoms cost back in the day?" "How much?"  "Hell if I know, we never used them."

    9.  A while back I was exploring webcams situated around the globe and I found one for the Abbey Road crossing where The Beatles were photographed for their Abbey Road album.  Well I sat around watching for about 10 or 15 minutes and I counted at 5 different groups going out in the middle of the road to get their photograph taken while crossing the street.  It's amazing how patient motorists are.

    10.  I was watching TV earlier this evening and saw a commercial for McDonald's and there was something in the commercial that set me off and made me remember the McDonald's commercials of old.  Those things were terrifying.  I'm surprised kids actually want to go to McDonald's after seeing some of those commercials.  Here are 8 of the worst

    11.  I've always been fascinated with what people eat for their last meal before they die.  I guess I am odd like that but I just find it so fascinating to know that sort of stuff.  It's made me think of what I'd like for my last meal.  Anyway, enough morbid thoughts here, go look at the Last Supper Club.  I think I could make a few posts about that site.

    12.  And why aren't the tea baggers jumping on the protesting against Scott Walker?  I think it's because Obama stood up for the protesting and the tea baggers policy is that whatever position Obama takes, they take the opposite.  So he said we should wait and see about what happens in Egypt and they say we aren't doing enough.  He says we should support the protesting in Wisconsin, tea baggers say we shouldn't.  Well when I look at it, I'm shocked that all the people who were cheering for the Egyptians aren't doing that for us Wisconsinites.  When it comes down to it, we are protesting for the same thing as the Egyptians...sky-rocketing food prices, lowered wages, no say in politics...Scott Walker has become the Mubarak of the Midwest...he is Mini Mubarak.

    Oh Madison...you're so clever, you gave us The Onion and the recall.  And if you don't get this, check out Scumbag Steve.


    Things got pretty wild over in Egypt.  IF only we had Carl Spackler putting out the fires in Wisconsin.

    And a Diet Coke, please.

    I WANT!

    Well, that's unfortunate.  Oh wait, that's good.  Too bad he can't restore worker's rights.

    Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

    You mad?  OK, I had to get that out of my system.

  • My ADD doesn't allow me to check out all the links, but pictures I can do. Nice collection! Love the crybaby.

  • The Office SUCKED tonight, and I planned my gym session around it. I don't like when they do "out of Office" stuff. Keep it to the mundane cubicle politics, please.

    If you're the next Dictator, I get to be the next Person Who Suggests Things To Look At. Just don't chop off my head if you don't agree with me, k?

    Mean Girls In The White House might be my new fave site. For realsies.

    OMG, I always thought the Hamburglar and Grimace were TERRIFYING, but everyone just kept telling me to hush up & eat my French Fries.

    I'm SICK of people comparing Scott Walker to Muabarek. Is he an awful Governor? We don't know yet, but he's made some BALLSY (stupid) moves. I don't think he warrants being compared to a 30-year dictator.

    The Steelers kid? She SHOULD be crying. Sorry your parents raised you to support shitty teams. Enjoy the rest of your life, unless you become a TRAITOR. And then - STILL ENJOY IT!

    And Aaron Rodgers FINALLY getting his belt? There are no words. I mean, I got off my treadmill after running my fastest 5K ever tonight, and *I* did The Belt. That man has to trade-mark that move. I know an attorney that can to that for him. (me; Jussayin')

  • shoot, i missed most of The Office, only caught the last few minutes :( ...now i've got to wait til they put that episode OnDemand...

  • @Writing_the_Tides - 

    yeah that cry baby one had me cracking up.

  • @ZepBlueEyedGirl - 

    Last week's episode where Dwight followed Holly around looking for Michael wasn't great but I actually LOVED this week's episode because when they first had that table reading for Threat Level Midnight, I wanted to read it too or at least hoped they would have Michael act out a scene. I think Michael came away learning something from that episode and it will be a part in how he leaves the show.

    You probably have more political experience than myself although I am president of a church but I'd be willing to abdicate in order to be a dictator or at least some prominent government official who looks at things.

    Grimace...I always loved how he was evil and then Ronald reformed him from stealing milkshakes and pop. Why couldn't he reform the Hamburglar? I was always freaked out by Birdie and the Fry Guys. And do you remember Ronald's dog? I forget the name but the person who last played the dog was the guy who played Mini-Me

    I think I wrote you about the whole Mubarak and Walker comment.

    I don't think Rodgers can trade mark the belt thing because that has been a staple of pro-wrestling or it was when I was a kid. The challenger always made that motion to show the champ they were going to win. When he started doing that it brought back so many fond memories of Hulk Hogan, the Iron Shiek, Hillbilly Jim, the Rock and Roll Express, Ric Flair...sadly most of those guys are still wrestling.

  • @Peridot21 - 

    Oh wow, I don't have to wait because I'm an old man and have one of these things called a V C R. I'm fairly certain that stands for Video Cassette Recorder. I put a video cassette and I recorded The Office so if you have a VCR, I can let you borrow my Office video cassette.

  • You did it again, I am rofl'ing over Bad Vestments. I will have to share this site with my pastor brother-in-law, who I believe NEVER wears vestments for that very reason. I grew up in the Lutheran church - very similar in service to Episcopal and Catholic - and Thank God have only seen ordinary, color-of-the-season-of-the-church-year vestments, live and in person. Some of those are...wow...and the giant liturgical puppets? Scary.

    I am watching Wisconsin closely...have some good friends who are teachers there, and are in Madison right now. When my friend Mike told me about the legislators fleeing the state and meeting at "the clock tower" in Rockford, I imagined a Back-to-the-Future, Doc and Marty McFly-type exciting thunderstorm of an evening, with the legislators all huddled in the tower. I guess it was a resort. I was disappointed.

    Seriously, though, as a teacher in Illinois, it really is something to watch. I can see it happening here, too. Go, Wisconsin teachers!

  • Thank you..now I'm following Mr. Kim Jong Il looking at things on Tumblr. Lol And hey, if you become the next dictator in Wisconsin....Lol

  • @musicmom60 - 

    Hmmm I am going to try to guess which Lutheran synod you belonged to that is similar in service to Episcopal and Catholic...LCMS or WELS. Most of the Lutheran churches I've been a part of have had black or white robes and the pastors' stoles correspond to the season of the church year. Although one synod that I came in contact with when living in the Cities had a lot of those vestaments. The woman bishop wore clothing as flashy as possible.

    Yeah I saw that and it's sad. I wonder whose dime they are staying on down there. If it's my tax dollars then I will be upset. I don't think this is going to be resolved any time soon and it's going to hurt no one but the kids.

  • @Hinase - 

    Oh I would be so corrupt and I'd end up taking bribes and making this state like The Hunger Games.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    Really? At least you'd be upfront about your corruptness. Lmao

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - 

    Yep, you're right, I'm LCMS, but I grew up in a very conservative German ALC church, and the service was the same. (as were the vestments! lol)

  • Wow...  I want the guitar pick punch!  Of course, I'd likely lose it too.

  • @saturnnights - 

    I'd keep it in a safe place because I lose picks like no one's business. The only two picks I've managed to keep are a Willie Nelson one I got on a bottle of his whiskey and a Johnny Cash one that came with a cd.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - A few years back, I bought a bunch of assorted picks at the counter at a shop, but I only like a few of them, so I have worthless picks in my case, either too small, too hard, too thin...

    I wonder if punching out a credit card would make a good pick, or maybe there's a bulk sheet of nylon that would work better?  I use a medium standard pick, like a Fender pick or equivalant.
