Well it's the first batch of links in the new year.  I don't know what else to say here.  I'm feeling somewhat of a block or maybe that could be the back pain and constipation.  I always say I'm going to eat better during the holidays but it never happens.  TMI...LINK TIME!

1.  Have any of you bought anything from Skymall?  Have you ever taken time to look at Skymall?  A while back I ordered the catalog and it was funnier than Maxim but then I do think Maxim is a serious magazine.  Anyway, here's a collection of ridiculous things you can buy from Skymall.

2.  How were films made before special effects?  When I was a kid and saw people being beaten I usually thought that they were actually being hit.  Looking back at that thought I feel foolish but then I found this article on Cracked about classic movie moments made possible by abuse.  #12...I went to school in the town where she was born.  I was actually thinking of watching Wizard of Oz to look for the guy that was killed and maybe watch it while listening to Dark Side of the Moon.

3.  So Rick Santorum did pretty good at the Iowa caucus and I have a theory why but we won't go into that here.  Instead I'm going to give you something that had me in stitches today.  I seriously started crying because of laughter on this site.  It's a collection of New Yorker cartoons with Rick Santorum quotes as captions.  Those make Elaine's "I wish I was taller" caption seem legitharticazesious...sorry, I 'm just trying to seem smarter to fit in with people who read the New Yorker.

4.  I was going to post a link to this clock I wanted for Christmas but I never got around to it.

5.  Guys, have you ever wondered why girls won't have sex with you?  Well here are seven possible reasons.  My reason wasn't there...you're a big fat pig that hasn't showered in a month.

6.  A few people have been posting about books the past few days.  They've been talking about what they've read and what they should read.  Well if you want to be cool and hip, here's a list of the 50 coolest books ever.  Considering I am the furthest thing from cool, I've actually read some of those.  I'm half-cool.

7.  I was bumbling around the internet and happened across this Etsy page.  It's a toy tattoo gun for crayons.  If I had kids and tattoos I'd probably get a few.

8.  And while we're on the subject of crayons, here's a collection of odd coloring book pages.  OK I think I'm going to go ahead and order those tattoo guns for crayons and get a few of those coloring books and have some fun. 

9.  I know there are a few motorcycle enthusiasts who read this site and they live in areas where there are helmet laws.  I love Wisconsin for not having a helmet law although I suppose getting into an accident would be a bitch when they're scooping up my brains off the pavement with a snow shovel but that's my freedom.  Anyway, here's a collection of some cool motorcycle helmets.

10.  Have you ever wanted to get a decent review of a movie?  Have you ever wanted your movies to be rated by beer?  Well now you have Movie Boozer.  They rate movies on a scale of 1(a toast, the best) to 6(the worst because you need a 6 pack to make it through the movie).

11.  I was going to do this as a separate post but I figure people get sick of my long posts.  Anyway, it's a collection of really bad mugshots.  There are so many winners in there that I can't pick one out.

12.  Have you ever wondered what your favorite website's home page looked like when it first launched?  Well here's a collection of some of the biggest sites in the internet at first launch.  I wonder what Xanga looked like.

I wish I had his photoshop skills.

You know they put items together in the stores because they go together.

What the hell did I eat last night?

Yeah I pretty much feel the same way when I see people wearing Yankees hats especially if they are backward and at an angle and the alternate colors.

The fastest paced board game ever

No...no...no

NO...NO...NO!

hmmm YES!

How old do you feel?

This is how one spells "irony".

That's one hell of a night.

Don't know if troll or serious

Have a great night.
