  • Lukewarm Links 6/23

    I think tonight was the night when the straw broke the camel's back when it came to my dealings with a church.  I was helping out with the vacation Bible school this week.  We have ours at night because the person in charge (not the pastor) wanted it at night because she hates the idea that people will drop off their kids and use VBS as a babysitting service.  So this one family dropped off their son who is 3.  He sat in a class for the lesson and listened but once the lesson was over he came out and played.  This irritated the person who was in charge and she told the mother not to bring him anymore because he wasn't paying attention enough.  I was furious when I found out this evening and I may have yelled and said that she what she did was bullshit.  That's right, Christ told his disciples to bring only the children who paid attention to see him.  Anyway if that's how they treat someone as young as a 3 year old, I'm just curious what they'll do to an adult.  But I know you probably don't care about this so it's time for links.

    1.  A few posts ago on the religious restaurant, he asked about your most visited website.  I wrote "Shit My Students Write".  And there it is.  I LOVE THAT SITE!  It reminds me of this email and website that had kindergarten art projects and people mocked them.  I can't remember the site but one painting I remember was of a firetruck and the caption read: "Ding ding ding...here comes the shitmobile".  And I just realize how hypocritical I am and you can't call me out on it because I realized it myself so there.

    2.  I often mock hipsters and this site got me thinking.  I think most hipsters have father issues because most of the time their clothing style reflects the time period in which their father grew up.  This site, Dads are the Original Hipsters, helped me theorize.

    3.  This one should be along with Shit My Students Write but these are fake quotes.  It's random quotes attributed to historical figures.  History said What?  It's always good for a laugh.

    4.  This is one of those WTF websites that has me mesmerized.  It's called Tigers on Surfboards and that pretty much is the best description of the site.

    5.  Because tonight was the NBA draft, here's the Top 32 draft busts of the past decade.  I like Milwaukee's inclusion of Joe Alexander.  He was hyped so much and the people with the Bucks tried to shove him down our throats but he sucked so bad.

    6.  Sometimes on Xanga, I've noticed that people are really sensitive about stereotypes but Stereotypes can be Funny.  It's so true.

    7.  Are you looking to buy a house?  Are you looking to buy houses to flip and need guidance in this venture?  If you answered yes to those questions, here's one more: would you take advice from Vanilla Ice?  Well here is Vanilla Ice's new project: Vanilla Ice Real Estate.  I wonder if he kicks it to the extreme when he shows houses.

    8.  In honor of Ryan Dunn's death, here's a collection of 25 crazy photos from Jackass.  it's too bad that the last photo is how he'll be remembered best.

    9.  Huffington Post gives us this next link.  It's called If GOP candidates were Simpsons characters.  They are spot on especially Lurleen and Milhouse.

    10.  Are you looking for a book to read and are at a loss?  Well try Whichbook.  It's a site where you have twelve sliders that describe different aspects of the book.  I tried it and it gave me an interesting book called Wetlands but that's because I wanted something disturbing.

    11.  If you want funny photos for your posts try Internet K-Hole.  It's a collection of odd photos from yesteryear. Now don't think I'm sending you to a gay porn link.  The first few photos for the Thursday photos are of a pro-wrestling tag team.

    12.  I am pretty pervy and in the past have talked about hot chicks eating ice cream cones, hot chicks eating bananas, hot chicks eating hot dogs, and hot chicks eating salad.  Well this week we have a new eating collection.  It's hot chicks eating tacos.  Yum.


    Really?  Really?  REALLY?

    And a first day of school that will be remembered always.

    I can't eggs much anymore after figuring out what they are.

    Please come back DikDoktor.  I know this is near your home.

    This is what happens when you let second graders give advice to people going to prom.  This is what happens when you actually talk to kids about sex. 

    Looks like John Travolta has a bad case of gas again.

    I don't know why but that video makes me laugh every time.  I like that channel.  I hope everyone has a good night.
