Well here it is Thursday already so that means another round of links. It was an uneventful night here in Lake Woebegone, I took my cats to the vet and they were little devils, biting and scratching and hissing and growling. Then when I get them home it was more biting, scratching, hissing, and growling. They have finally settled down and the old Norwegian Lutherans were preparing for the annual lutefisk dinner.
1. A company released a Mitt Romney condom this week. I can't make many good jokes because they are all taken by the company. My best is either..."They are really slippery" or "Even though Romney's in the 1% these are regular sized to fit 99% of men." Yeah...not good...next.
2. And while I'm on the subject of politics, I found this fun little quiz over at Mother Jones...yeah yeah say what you will...it's a quiz testing your knowledge of Dwight Schrute and Newt Gingrich. See a couple weeks ago I posted a photo of Newt from back in the day and he looks exactly like Dwight Schrute from The Office. I only got 6 out of 10. It's quite a difficult quiz.
3. This is for the DIY crowd out there. It's a guide on how to upgrade your wall outlets to include USB connections. Dang, if I was more handy I'd try doing that.
4. I've been sharing celebrity Tumblr accounts here the past couple of weeks so I have three more. First we have John Hodgman. This guy is hilarious and I can guarantee all of you have seen him at least once. He's the PC guy in the Mac vs. PC commercials.
5. This is the Tumblr account for Donald Glover, the guy who is on Community and raps under the name Childish Gambino.
6. This Tumblr account is Anthony Bourdain. This guy doesn't do much with Tumblr but I'm half expecting him to one day just go off and rip Rachael Ray and Paula Deen new ones.
7. I thought this was good for Valentine's Day. It's called 8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt. It's like a health meter from a video game on a chest. The shirts are sold in pairs and when you come in contact with the other person wearing the other shirt your health recharges. Yeah it's sort of lame but the nerd in me is saying "AWWW".
8. A local news station posted some Super Bowl myths. Yeah I'm a little late with that but you should be thankful because I was early on the Valentine's one above.
9. I didn't really care for the Super Bowl halftime show but you'll probably hear more about that in a post tomorrow. Anyway, I found this site that broke down Madonna's performance and deemed it to be a Satanic ritual. Yeah, they don't really think that, it's pretty funny. I can guarantee there are people that think it's real, just like the Louisiana representative that posted a story from The Onion as fact this week.
10. Now while that last site was humor, this site about why Harry Potter sucks is serious. Hey, what do you know, it's written by a Twilight fan.
11. And because I sometimes have the humor of a 14 year old, here's a collection of dirty sounding team names. When I was in high school I had two hats that I probably wore to school. One was of Fordham University and it simply said FU on the hat. The other hat was for the University of South Carolina and it said Cocks. In retrospect, I don't know why I wore that second one.
12. I think I've posted this before but it's so cool that it needs reposting. It's called LEGO albums. The concept is simple, they take LEGOs and use them as the artwork to music albums. I think my favorite is the one of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
And if you don't like links, here's some stuff to possibly laugh at.
Ummm...why are we good matches? Who am I kidding? She'd never date me.
Verily
The Australian national women's basketball team needs to invest in some different uniforms.
Run, forest, run!
Hey, an intersection named after me.
How's that for breastfeeding in public?
I never would've graduated if I went to UW. I went there for a visit in high school to see if I would matriculate and I never set foot in a classroom. I drank the entire time.
And rightly so.
I love how Wisconsin has taken such a huge set back in democracy when Walker is being investigated for illegal campaigning and also Republican senators signed confidentiality agreements not to PUBLICLY discuss plans for redistricting. SO THE ELECTED OFFICIALS WILL NOT DISCUSS WHAT THEY ARE DOING?!?!?!?! I FUCKING LOVE POLITICS!
Boba Fonzarelli needs to round them all up and drop them in a sarlacc pit.
