  • Lukewarm Links 8/4/11

    It just keeps getting worse and stranger.  Who knows what tomorrow will bring?  I think I'll just stay home and watch The Sopranos so I can pick up the mafioso accent.  I really have nothing else to say here so go look at links.

    7.  Here's a fun tumblr site for all of you that have tumblrs.  Maybe you can follow it and thank me and NOT LEAVE XANGA for a photo sharing site.  I post photos.  You can steal them here.  Anyway this tumblr is called The Burning House.  It's a collection of things people would take with them if their house caught fire.  Hmm I'm thinking this would make a fun homework assignment.

    4.  Here's a fun little site called Animals Being Dicks.  It's not the sexual slang term for penis.  It's the slang term meaning jerk.

    2.  When I watch hockey I can't help but think that there are a bunch of sociopaths on skates hitting each other with sticks.  I always wonder if the players were once kids or if they were created in some sort of dungeon in hell by Satan himself...not the Devil but Miroslav Satan...anyway here's a site of NHL players when they were kids.

    1.  Here's a fun little site where you can find out how beautiful you are.  It's called AnaFace and they analyze your face and rate you on a scale of 1 to 10.  I am a solid 4.  Well now I know why I am single.

    5.  Remember Etch-A-Sketch?  Well now you can create online creations with Etch-A-Sketch Online.

    10.  Since I've spent a lot of time inside the past few days I've found games to play to occupy my time when I should actually be focusing on prep work for my Celebrity post but I've been playing the Traveler IQ Challenge. I could've embedded it but I doubt anyone would have played it.

    8.  I really don't get the point of this site, monoface, but it's sort of like this old toy I had as a kid where I could change people's faces.

    3.  Are you in the U.K. and looking to buy a car?  Well if you are try going to this nauseating site to find your car.  I seriously wonder if he's sold any cars online.

    9.  The other day I went out to my car and found that someone had written "Wash me" in the dust on my back window.  I was thoroughly offended so I wrote under it "Give me the money".  I got to thinking about other things people draw in the dirt and I figured I didn't get a harsh treatment.  Here's a site of some awesome dirty window drawings.

    11.  I know a few of you are talking about going off to college soon so I thought I'd share a collection of the College Freshmen meme.  #24 is spot-on especially working in a tourist town that caters to people from Illinois.  Everyone is from Chicago.  It's not as funny as when you as a person from Michigan where they are from in Michigan and they hold up there had and show you by pointing to a place on their palm.

    6.   A lot of time when a primetime animated show is pitched, the pilot episode doesn't make the air because it is usually crudely animated and they will edit it to make it look better.  Here is a collection of some of those animated series pilot episodes.  It's amazing how much some of the characters changed from the pilot to debut.

    12.  And in honor of the economy tanking, here's a real time U.S. debt clock.

    Now look at pictures.















    Football is back.  NFL, are you ready to be destroyed?
