• Lukewarm Links 7/7/11

  Wow, I'm gone for one day and everyone seems to forget about me.  Yes, I am that vain.  My bright point today was running into my friend and my goddaughter at Walmart.  All the luck, I forgot to call to see if they were around but I got to see them anyway.  Here are the links.

  1.  I watch this TV program called "How I Met Your Mother" from time to time and every once in a while at the end credits they have these fun things called Bro Tips.  Well here is a site that contains a lot of Bro Tips.  See I'm not trying.

  2.  One of my goals in life is to have my likeness captured in an action figure and then proudly pose with it because then I could submit my photo to Actors with Action Figures.  I love this site.

  3.  I went to a book store today after I dropped my dad off for his dialysis appointment.  I was disappointed by this book store because they had a larger porn section than they had comic books and graphic novels.  Really...my dad was shit.  Anyway I was looking at these comic books and remembered that I had to share this website called Our Valued Customers.  It's a collection of things workers at a comic book shop have overheard.  I need to start a tumblr to share all my interactions with tourists.

  4.  If any of you actually care for me, you will get me this for my birthday.

  5.  I know some of you are heading off to college this year and soon will be deciding on a major.  Just don't pick any from this list of the 10 most worthless majors.  My major wasn't on there but my school has made me feel worthless because I've been told by different people during interviews that it's nothing more than a diploma mill.

  6.  Are you single?  Are you vegetarian?  Do you believe that animals should have the same amount of rights as humans?  Do you believe that we need to find more sources for renewable energy?  Well if you answered yes to all those questions then you might want to try Green Singles, the dating place for the eco-conscious, animal rights community, and vegetarians.  I didn't set up a profile because there wasn't any talent in my area.

  7.  Remember back in the olden days when there was a problem with STDs?  Remember when they posted STD posters everywhere?  Well here is a collection of some of those vintage STD posters.  Interesting fact: according to those posters, 98% of women have venereal diseases.

  8.  This is fun collection of youtube videos showing off celebrities who are bilingual.  Some day I'll make that list but I won't be consider bilingual, I'll be...what is the word for speaking 8 languages?  Octolingual?

  9.  If you read my site prior to 2007, you would have known my love of The Family Circus.  Well it wasn't that I so much as liked the actual cartoon but who people have changed the captions to make them more applicable to our time.  Well here is a collection of Family Circus cartoons captioned by writers from The Onion. 

  10.  I enjoy the NBC program titled Parks and Recreation.  In one episode this season, my favorite character, Ron Swanson, was asked if he ever had a turkey burger.  He asked, "Is that a fried turkey leg inside a grilled hamburger?"  Well of course someone had to try making one and here is the finished product along with the recipe...sweet lord I'm hungry.

  11.  I think someone else wrote a post about this but I still loved the story.  A librarian in the town of Troy, MI wrote to numerous authors, actors, artists, musicians, playwrights, librarians, and politicians asking them to tell children the importance of reading and libraries and to share any of their favorite memories of reading.  The librarian received 97 responses.  Here are all the letters.  It's an amazing collection and my favorite came from Dr. Seuss. 

  12.  I have struggled with this site for weeks about what I should say.  It appears as if someone used the King James Bible for evidence of Queen's greatness...I think.  Anyway, it's a pretty funny site.  It basically tells you the history the band Queen in Biblical form.

  And because some of you don't like to read here are random pictures.
  
  Jose Baez...I wonder if he'll run for office or get his own TV show.
  
  Don't you just hate it when you eat a banana and there's a bone inside?
  
  I hope that sign is for dogs.
  
  "BEFORE I ORDER ANOTHER PIZZA"....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  
  I think I need to visit that place.
  
  The economy really is shitty.
  
  I really have discount tent with Xanga.
  
  And because Ron Swanson is the man...
  
  I love that guy.
  
  It's the mustache...it has to be the mustache.  Wish I could grow one.
