  • Lukewarm Links 9/22

    Hey hey...it's another edition of links.

    1.  Have you ever wondered how things got their names?  Why is a trombone a trombone and not a sackbut?  Well I don't have the answers but here is a list of some things had ridiculous original names.

    2.  so when you are a celebrity everyone seems to kiss your ass and makes you feel more important than you really are.  Also when you're a celebrity people have a hard time saying no to your ideas.  Well here are some celebrities who should've been told no when they announced that they were going to try to launch singing careers.  I think I only know one of the songs any of them sang. 

    3.  A lot of people claim that professional sports are very homoerotic.  Well take a look at these accidentally sexual sports photos.  Maybe people are on to something.

    4.  So everyone is still talking about the new look for facebook.  Here's an article from Huffington Post along with some of the best reactions on Twitter.  Maybe the new Facebook is why the Dow tanked.  Maybe people were forced to be productive and they made really bad stock decisions or maybe all the Farmville commodities were sold at reduced rates.

    5.  I was having a discussion over on the Facebook the other day about one of my favorite childhood drinks, the Ecto Cooler.  It was a Hi-C drink that was released in conjunction with Ghostbusters.  Well a few years back there was a demand for it but Hi-C released it under a different name.  Then they took it off the market once again.  Now, some people have made claim that they have discovered how to make your own.  Here's their recipe.  No alcohol is involved.  My recipe involves alcohol.  It's UV Blue Raspberry vodka, lemonade, and orange juice and a dash of regret because you are getting older and will never be able to relive the days of your youth.

    6.  Is today the Super Bowl?

    7.  I read this article about Chinese condoms being too small for South Africa and was going to laugh at stereotypes but then I realized who the condoms were made for and then I thought...NICE.

    8.  I know some of you are in college and on a budget.  Well here are 7 cheap dates you can do on campus.  You're welcome.

    9.  This website is both why I watch the news and why I don't watch the news.  One day I want to make the news like Uribe French.

    10.  Here's a collection of offensive license plates.  I thought they were pretty funny especially Pooface...look at his bumpersticker.

    11.  I enjoy celebrity lookalikes.  Here are the most submitted lookalikes to the cheezeburger network.

    12.  And because tomorrow marks the beginning of Oktoberfest or as we like to call it in these parts Notsoberfest or another chance for the smiley face killer to stalk prey, here's a collection of cleavage in drindls.  How could anyone be angry in Germany after looking at women in drindls?

    Facebook?  I'm loving Google+!

    Seriously...DRINDLS!

    Now I'm hungry.

    Remember, I'm starting my own save the boobs campaign.  Let me know if you're interested, ladies.

    Georgia killed an innocent man.  Looks like we're going to have to reanimate the corpse of Sherman and let him loose on Georgia.

    And you just lost so you must leave eprops.
