Lukewarm Links 8/25
So tonight was fun. I went to my church to help construct a float for my town’s Labor Day parade. I figured I should show up because the design and theme are my idea. Yeah, mock me all you want but this float looks pretty good. I don’t remember if I showed off the float I designed last year. Oh well someone will help me remember. I picked some apples today and am looking for a press so I can make some hard cider. Ummm time for links? Time for links.
1. This tumblr site is called The Story of Man. It’s quite simple and funny. They find news articles that begin with “Man” or “Woman”. This is sort of like that Google thing where you type your name + is. Anyway it’s funny.
2. Have you ever went to school or work and you were wearing the exact same outfit as someone else? Well here is a site called I Like Looking Like Other People that celebrates those awkward moments. I guarantee no one on Xanga is wearing what I am currently wearing. Who wants to guess what I’m wearing?
3. Kim Simac was one of the senators that got recalled in Wisconsin. I found this fun tumblr site called Stuff Simac Says. Read some of it and then realize that she authors children’s books.
4. So in case you didn’t know there was an earthquake on the east coast and there was one in Colorado but do you hear the people in Colorado bitching about it? No. Apparently Twitter was ablaze after the earthquake and here is a collection of the 20 best tweets. The first photo…anyone get that?
5. I loved seeing this site of yearbook photos of famous comedians. Some day I hope my photo is on it but then I can’t think of any yearbook photo I’ve taken. I think I skipped out on my college photos. Anyway, doesn’t Steve Carrell look like he’s a serial killer?
6. While I was looking at yearbook photos, I found this collection of funny yearbook quotes. I can’t even remember mine. Wait, we didn’t have quotes in our yearbook. We had them in our senior memory books. Mine was: “What’s the hurry? School’s always there.” So deep.
7. Have you ever wondered about the news in Haiti? Don’t go to this site if you want to find out.
8. One of my guilty pleasures as of late is going to youtube and watching fights in fast food restaurants. Here’s a collection of the best fights.
9. Have you ever thought how safe your password was? I think most of my passwords are safe and won’t be able to be hacked. Well here is a collection of amazing passwords IT guys have shared.
10. I am late to the party with this one. I’ve seen a few of you post it. It’s called The Last Meals Project and it’s a collection of death row inmates’ last meals before they were executed. I think I asked that once before but what would you eat as your last meal?
11. If you are underage and in need of a fake i.d., don’t use any of these because they are cartoon characters’ driver’s licenses. I could pass for #5 if I had a little less hair. #9 gives away the state where the Simpsons live but #14 sort of puts a damper on it.
12. I’m in the mood for a movie tonight. Click this link of alternative movie posters of the movie I plan on watching.
You white people are so stupid.
Conan O’Barbrien…I think that looks better than that new movie.
Free with every purchase of a new Corvette.
I’ve always wondered how beauty parlors get new customers.
Here’s how I view social networking sites.
Freedom isn’t free, it costs folks like you and me and if we don’t all chip in we’ll never pay that bill. Freedom isn’t free, no, there’s a hefty fuckin’ fee. And if you don’t throw in your buck ‘o five, who will?
Oh Lady Xerox, you aren’t that original. My pubic hair has more creativity.
Here was see an interpretative dance re-enacting how the early settlers of Louisiana came up with the name Baton Rogue.
Welcome back to school!

haha I hadn’t heard that perspective on white people coming to America before…
The no-jerking-off-in-the-shower thing is a prank. We had signs just like that taped to all our bathroom doors once when I was in college. Might have worked (official looking university letterhead and everything) except they taped them up on the bathroom doors of all the female suites too. Yeah, our bathroom never had that problem.
@Zissu25 - It’s quite interesting to think of that.
@carolinavenger - oh come on, don’t ruin the fun. Yeah I figure they are fake. There were signs like that in my dorms as well and to make them seem real they included the Bible passages about Onan.
@godfatherofgreenbay - I’m such a buzzkill. It’s terrible. My music is bad and I should feel bad.
@carolinavenger - you’re like me in that I ruin things…I walk into my room where roommate is screening Godfather 3 for about 5 people and I ask, “Did his daughter die yet?”
Man, I wish our yearbook had quotes. It was instead wasted of being artsy and referencing movies that everyone already forgot about by the time it came out.
@carolinavenger - You’re more of a buzz kill than Buzz Killington!
@Rob_of_the_Sky - oh yeah I had a yearbook like that. I remember getting my senior yearbook at the next year’s homecoming and I opened up to that section and was like “that happened last year? It seemed like years ago.”
@Rob_of_the_Sky -
Now, who here likes a good story about a bridge?
@godfatherofgreenbay - ahhhh
How did I know Toronto would have that problem? Eh, Canadians
Also, I think we match
I thought the yearbook stuff was great… but then.. I saw the 3rd fight at mcdonalds and I havent been able to stop laughing. …that is until I saw the last two. those were super serious.
I think that’s the first labor day parade I h ave heard about.
I also liked the yearbook stuff, “my mom should have swallowed me” sheeesh don’t they have any editors for this stuff?
I do believe Baton Rouge refers to large red stake (stick) that the French explorers found along the river dividing territory between two tribes.
lol! where you find these photos? 4chan? rofl-copter
I’d actually like to see a man do a sexy dance in the stud undies. I mean, he’d have to be a special guy and all.
Er… you familiar with http://clientsfromhell.net/ ..?
The yearbook quotes are hilarious man! ”AAARRRRGGGGGNNNNN!!!!!” -Chewbacca…..LOLOL!!!
I Couldn’t view the death row meals. I thought that one would be interesting. I think I’d probably want something homemade. Meatloaf or something like comfort food.
The earthquake tweets were humorous as well.
@SasGal - my college had that as a joke but it also contained Bible verses. Genesis 38:9-10. Last night I was wearing three sweat socks. Tonight I have on black shorts, a smirk, and crumbs in my chest hair.
@TheGiantSlayer - I remember reading something about that fight and the one guy turned out to be a state champion at wrestling in high school. I love how he took time out of the fight to pull up his shorts. And while they fight the workers are calling out order numbers.
@ElevenStones - hmm that is a better explanation. I guess I’ll have to post the photos from last year. I went back and said I was going to post them but I never did…weird.
@BenelliMan - Rules 1 and 2.
@ZombieMom_Speaks - yeah someone who is wearing a magical ring.
@Lakakalo - oh yeah, I loved that site. Have you ever seen Waiter Rants?
@bluepillorredpill - That would have been a good senior quote.
@LadyofWaters - Weird, that last meals one works for me. You just have to let it load up and it starts typing. Here’s a preview for next week. A blog of last meals.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Saw & participated in a few live performances back when I worked in restaurants.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Johnny Depp’s pretty special.
@godfatherofgreenbay - You know after fallowing that link and reading their requests it was kind of sad. I know they did stuff wrong and stuff but its’ really sad reading someone’s final meal requests for some reason.
