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.
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.

oh man... you didn't just evoke that bastard Sherman ... that's cold, brother.
PS.... I forgive ya, cause we Sutherners are like that...
i love gooolgle
Only a little dash of regret? You're an optimist, bro.
Two letters that should never follow something I may want to put in my mouth: TP.
HAHAHAHAHA - Jesus!
Crispin Glover and his clowny clown song...omg...what was he on???
I'm a ball gazer.
Leave EPROPS you said. I did, up there. See, just an empty comment box.
Another fun, funny links post, Matty!
My favs were #3 and #10!!
HUGS and Happy Friday!
I have been missing out, having never gone to oktoberfest.
think i'm gonna migrate to g+ soon too.
@roscoes_farm - well I think people should be fearin' old Tecumseh after killing a possibly innocent man.
@dmcx2010 - don't you wish that was their logo?
@ZombieMom_Speaks - that Jesus really gets around
@musicmom60 - yeah, he is so insane to begin with and then there's that. I thought nothing could top his appearance on Letterman.
@SasGal - naughty naughty..do I get two?
@RestlessButterfly - see I think Xanga made it so you can no longer leave empty comments so you can get eprops.
@AdamsWomanFell - glad you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by.
@TheGiantSlayer - yes you have, the best one I've ever witnessed was a group of people standing on an island at an intersection and they were giving out free beer bongs to people parked at red lights.
@complicatedlight - let me know when you do
@godfatherofgreenbay - Somehow I managed to posted an empty comment... hehe. Yay me!
You wanna know something crazy?
When I went to Hong Kong a few years back, I was in the airport leaving and I hadn't had time to get some food before I left the city so I just decided to hit the food court at the terminal.
They had a Burger King in there. Now normally I tend to stay away from Burger King for two reasons: 1. Those fuckers stopped using the real flame broilers, which were kickass. 2. Those "King" ads gvie me a creepy uncle/pedobear vibe.
So I'm walking past and what do I see?
FUCKING REAL FLAME BROILERS ROLLING IN THE BACK!
Actual patties being cooked like they use to be here in America.
So you know what I had to do....get my hands on one of those bastards because I knew I'd never get another chance.
The really crazy part?
When they presented me with my burger, fries and drink....it looked EXACTLY like the ad pictures do!
I mean, I would have swore they handed me a plastic display, it was that perfect.
They take there food service very serious in Hong Kong.
Yes...it was orgasmically amazing to eat.....just like it should be.
Fucking crappy service in America! We could get product like that here...but we won't because we are lazy bastards that often have no pride in service or job performance.
And fuck the our FDA for taking away the flame broiler machines.....rat bastards! If I want to get cancer from a flame broiled patty, then I have right to choose to do so.
@ExposedWrists - well it's good for you because BK got rid of the King advertising because they want to go in a more serious route. My dad told me he had one of the new California Whoppers and he said the avocado on it was brown.
I may have to go to Hong Kong if I want decent fast food. I heard that McDonald's and KFC in China will allow their workers to form unions which means salaries will soar to 65 cents a day.
