• Lukewarm Links 12/22

  My life has become an episode of the Three Stooges.  Sunday night was trying to plug in my phone charger because my phone had died.  Well I'm plugging it into an outlet right behind where I have my Christmas tree set up but not yet decorated.  Well I bump into the tree while plugging in the charger and the tree falls over landing on top of one of my CD racks.  The CD rack falls apart and CDs start falling everywhere.  I figured that that incident would be the worst Three Stooges-esque occurence this week.  Well I was wrong.  Tonight was was getting ready to wrap presents and I was in my den and I was carrying scissors and for some reason I dropped them and they land point first on the top of my foot and I jump in pain, knock over some DVDs which in turn knocked over some books.  So I start cleaning the DVDs up and I slip on the floor and push my Lazy Boy into another DVD toppling it over and on top I had all my cologne, body spray and deodorant.  I was cleaning that mess up for about the last hour.  When I have an accident, I have an accident.  Is it tattoo or link time?  Links.

  1.  One of my favorite music websites put out their yearly awards for best music videos of the year.  Here's the list with the videos.

  2.  One of my favorite music websites put out their yearly awards for best music tracks of the year.  Here's the list with the tracks.

  3.  I'm sure you heard the news by now but North Korean ruler Kim Jong Il died sometime last weekend.  He was quite an interesting man.  Here's a list of some of the things you may not have known about him.  I'd love to play golf with him.

  4.  Of course when Kim Jong Il died and people started talking about it on Twitter, the truly ignorant of the Twitter world thought that rapper Lil Kim had died.  Seriously, how can someone mistake a dictator for a rapper?  Anyway, here's some tweets of people who thought Lil Kim had died.

  5.  A lot of shit goes down at Walmart over the course of the year.  Here are the nine best Walmart stories of 2011.

  6.  Roger Ebert has written a list of the best films of 2011.  I remember watching Siskel & Ebert as a kid and my friends would say that any movie they gave two thumbs up would suck because it would be all artsy fartsy.  I think the way he describes these movies makes me want to see all of them.

  7.  Are you still Christmas shopping?  Whatever you do, don't buy anything from these 25 terrible gifts to give this year.

  8.  If you have read my celebrity round up posts for any length of time you will know my lust for a woman named Coco.  She is just so...surgically enhanced.  Well I happened across this collection of Coco fan art.  None of those were drawn by me but they're still good.

  9.  Have you ever read the Bible and thought it was boring?  Well you're obviously not reading the right parts.  Here's some of the most badass Bible verses.  I want to make the #7 passages my confirmation passage but the pastor refused me that and then I tried Leviticus 19:14 but he didn't like that idea either.

  10.  Have you ever wanted to know what the houses your favorite celebrity lived in looked like?  Well now you can thanks to the good people at Bing and Celebrity House Pictures.  This house is in my neck of the woods but it is more impressive viewed from the road or up close.

  11.  I've sort of given a lot of links to one website this edition but here's another.  It's the guide to the best presents of 2011.  I'd be willing to accept any of those from you, Xanga.

  12.  Have you ever wanted to watch Fight Club but only have 30 seconds to spare?  Have you ever wanted to watch a 30 second version of Fight Club re-enacted by animated bunnies?  Well if you said yes to either, watch Fight Club in 30 Second with Bunnies.

  
  Much like sex, my life has been void of Christmas cards.
  
  I was always a fan of Miller Lite and cigarillos.
  
  I'm glad I quit.
  
  Well I always thought meth would make Christmas lights come alive but this meth does nothing for me.
  
  I'd much rather watch that than Twilight.
  
  I was going through some old photos of our former presidents and I saw this photo of Franklin Pierce.  I began to ask if it was really Pierce or Mitt Romney with a Flock of Seagulls haircut.
  
  I was being able to spell was your choice.
  
  This may be one of my favorite puns of all time.
  
  I have a feeling this will be under my tree this year.
  
  Yeah, I can totally see how people got Lil Kim and Kim Jong Il mixed up.
  
  Good night, sweet prince.
  
  Merry Christmas!  Remember what this holiday is all about!  CONSUME!  CONSUME!  CONSUME!
