  • Lukewarm Links 12/1

    I was going to do a vlog explaining some of the things from my Wisconsin post but instead you get links.

    1.  I was looking at my change the other day and noticed how funny it looked.  I guess I'm not with it when it comes to all the different versions of the nickel.  Also, I happened to receive a Canadian quarter and a Euro coin in my transaction.  Talk about weird, right?  As I sat there looking at all this odd money I wondered if there were other weird pieces of money out there.  Well here are some.  I guess our nickel isn't as strange as what it once was.

    2.  Do you like cartoons?  I have nothing cute to say so here are some bizarre early versions of some of your favorite cartoon characters.  I'm glad they didn't include Mortimer because everyone knows Mortimer Mouse.

    3.  A friend shared this blog today.  It's written by a woman who used to be a federal sex crimes investigator and in it she reviews Law & Order: SVU.  I actually like her insight to the show.  Way too often when I watch the show they say something about how it's not based on real events although they are similar.  Well after reading a few of her show reviews I get why they throw that in there.

    4.  America is awesome.  I know sometimes I get down about the way things are going and how people are bitterly divided on every single issue but America is unique and here are some things you will only see in America.  America, fuck yeah!

    5.  As a lot of you know, last month was No Shave November.  I don't know if anyone participated.  I got 5 days into it and couldn't continue.  I just got too itchy and having a beard brought back memories and I wouldn't want to be mistaken for an obese Amish man.  Anyway I've always wondered what people do with their facial hair once the month is ended.  Here are facial hair styles you should avoid.  I haven't avoided one of those styles.  Can you guess which one?

    6.  I know a few of you are Dr. Who fans.  I used to watch it when I was younger.  I always watched it with my dad on Sunday nights on PBS.  I asked way too many questions so he would leave the room to go watch it elsewhere so I wouldn't disturb him.  I now hate Dr. Who.  Anyway, here's some videos of the Dr. Who cast reading bedtime stories.

    7.  I know some of you out there like the TV show Community.  Here's a petition to save Community.

    8.  I know some of you out there like the TV show Community.  Here's another petition to save Community.

    9.  The other day I saw some professional athletes throwing in their support for the 99% and the Occupy Wallstreet Movement.  I had to laugh because millionaires who get millions by bouncing a basketball said they supported people struggling against the ultra-rich.  Well here's a collection of mansions owned by athletes.  I say we boycott the NBA.  The players and the owners argued over OUR money.  Don't give it to the greedy bastards.

    10.  If only Herman Cain unveiled this shirt earlier in his campaign.  I'm sure he would've lasted longer.

    11.  OK I promised I wouldn't write about Kim Kardashian anymore unless it involved a new sextape and I possessed said sextape but I couldn't resist this website.  It's called the Kardashian Calculator.  You type in the date you were married and it tells you how many Kardashians you've been married.  See according to that site a Kardashian is a form of measurement representing 72 days of marriage.  Since I'm not married I couldn't enter anything but I did type in my age and I've been alive for 161.24 Kardashians.

    12.  I believe it was Wednesday of this week that Google had a tribute to Mark Twain for their logo.  Google has had quite the collection of doodles over the years.  Well here is a collection of logos that will never be seen on Google.

    Here's some other random stuff if you don't like reading.

    Oh yeah!  I totally would type 5318008 and turn it upside down and giggle.

    Busted...oh but how can you think he's guilty with that adorable looking face

    I'm not that clever.  My folder is titled "Vegan Recipes".

    Tron Legacy wasn't quite what I expected.

    I can say that's one chick flick I enjoyed.

    Just look at dad's face, you know know why he wanted to take mom to Anal Kingdom.

    This may be my favorite photo in a long time.

    I just got back from a little walk.  I was stupid to do so this late at night.  I guess I wanted to see some of the Christmas lights in my neighborhood.  I heard an ambulance siren so I sat in the JFK Memorial Park trying to figure out where the siren was coming from.  Yes, my town in Wisconsin has a park dedicated to JFK.  He is the only president to set foot in this town.  As I sat there it hit, IT’S COLD.  It was 60 degrees a week ago and today it is right at freezing. In fact, it rained this afternoon and some patches of my lawn still had rain on them but now it is hardened because it is frozen.  Anyway, it’s cold, balls retreatingly cold.

    OMG…I JUST BLOGGED ON TUMBLR!

    PS  I wish I had a scarf for a cold night like tonight.

    (I blogged that on Tumblr earlier this evening with the donkey photo.  I think that may have been one of the longest blogs I saw on Tumblr today.)

  • Tattoo Thursday 12/1

    Here's another collection of tattoos I've found around the web.

    Golf...I never knew it could be so, what's the word I'm looking for, devilishly exciting?

    So apparently golf tattoos are a thing.  I could only imagine them being a thing for people who lose a round of golf.
    Hey @peridot21, I have some more Elvis for you.

    It looks like Elvis has a skin condition or maybe that's the owner.  Wait, he's supposed to be a Frankenstein creature.

    Elvis is always on this guy's leg

    Wow, Elvis looks like he got into a pretty bad fight.

    I was trying to figure if this was supposed to be Elvis or Brad Garrett.

    Is this supposed to be zombie Elvis or Jack-o-lantern Elvis?

    Everyone was dancing the jailhouse rock...and eating BRAINS

    Elvis was cast in a stage version of The Wizard of Oz and when he went to the Emerald City he turned into a zombie.

    I wonder if his Christmases are always blue with that Elvis on his calf.

    Kenny Powers...he's awesome even in tattoo form.

    I wonder if you got a pointer and put it on his back if the devil would spell things out for you.

    I think I'd like to play a game with her but probably not Candyland although I am one for multitasking I could play with her and play Candyland at the same time.

    hehehehehehehehehe...these tattoos suck

    This is a tattoo of the guy's daughter.  I was thinking at first that he made a blonde Snooki.

    I've been seeing all these commercials for the Smurfs movie.  Somehow I don't think this is in the movie.

    There was a story circulating the web and Tumblr this week.  In fact those serious Tumblr bloogers reposted this story ad nauseum and showed they were bloggers by adding the words "cool", "awesome", or "ouch" to the post thus proving they ARE bloggers.  Anyway the story goes that a girl was expecting her boyfriend to tattoo a scene from Narnia on her back but he found out she cheated on him so he tattooed the pile of poop along with stench lines and flies.  He supposedly got her drunk and then tattooed her.  When she found out about it she promptly filed a $100,000 lawsuit.  Turns out it's a fake story because there is no lawsuit and I've actually posted that tattoo 4 years ago.

    It seems that someone loved Chachi a little too much.  It also appears that Charles is in charge of that body.  Oh and is that a Yuengling tattoo?  Maybe I should get my Schell's tattoo after all.

    Maybe this isn't a tattoo but a new strain of an STD.  It's Snookimidia and people who suffer from Snookimidia get an image of Snooki near their nether region.

    Wow, they even captured Buscemi's crazy eyes

    Well it looks like Tony Danza is now the boss of that guy's leg.

    This is what kids are doing now a days.

    Twilight is SO terrifying but why isn't that tattoo all sparkly?

    I hope you enjoyed.
