  • Lukewarm Links 3/1

    Well it's Thursday and you know what that means...American Idol results show.  I seriously hate that show.  I'm not just saying that because the Wisconsin guy got eliminated, I'm saying that because it's not a talent contest, it's a popularity show.  A few of those people, they can't sing.  All they do is shout.  I guess most people value volume over pitch.  It's also means The Office.  I was pleased and laughed heartily especially when I saw Georgia Engel giving advice to Erin.  It was a pretty good episode overall.  Oh and I guess it means links.

    1.  For those of you who have followed me for some time you'll remember I have a strong dislike for Dane Cook, except the one time his brother stole millions of dollars from him.  That I found hilarious.  Well I heard about Cook doing a set a while back where he went on stage and just talked shit about other comedians and ended up going into what some described as a manic episode.  Anyway Cook may be looking for 25 new jokes and here they are.

    2.  Have you ever watched a movie and identified more with the villain than with the hero?  Have you ever sat back and thought that the villain was right and the hero was wrong?  I had an epiphany after I started teaching while watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  Ferris was wrong and the principal was right.  There I said it, all that principal did was for Ferris' own good.  Anyway, that made this list of villains who were right after all.

    3.  I once had an inkling that some day I'd like to have kids.  I guess I don't want them because I know the process that it takes to make a child and I have no one to procreate with.  That and I saw these scary photos of children.  I swear to god it made me impotent.

    4.  If you fancy yourself an artist, here's a fun game called iSketch.

    5.  This sort of goes with #3.  I know one of things about having a family is having family vacations although in my family I can only remember one, maybe two vacations where we went someplace overnight.  I feel so deprived.  Anyway, here's some awkward family vacation photos.

    6.  Did anyone here ever have a Glamour Shots at your local mall?  I remember one in a mall in Madison and it was just awful.  They had real life mannequins in the windows making poses.  It was just so weird.  Here's a collection of some hilarious Glamour Shots portraits.  I can't believe some of those are real.

    7.  I should've posted these next three links last week but I didn't find them until it was too late.  Last Sunday was the Academy Awards show.  I actually thought the movies up this year were quite weak and that the winners wouldn't be memorable.  Well I don't know where I'm going with this but here's a collection of some of the worst Oscar winners.  The first one, Dances with Wolves, gets heat.  I like the movie but there's no way it was the best movie that year especially not when it was up against Goodfellas.

    8.  Here's a collection of Oscar upsets.  I think this year's Best Actress award will have to be added to the list because everyone expected the woman from The Help to win but Meryl Streep snuck in and won it.

    9.  Here's a collection of Where are They Now: Oscar Winners.  I have a feeling that the guy who won Best Actor will be on that list in a couple of years.

    10.  This may be one of my new favorite Tumblr sites.  It's called Fuck Yeah Idiots on Facebook and it celebrates some of the idiotic behavior on Facebook.  I wonder if I should start one about Xanga.

    11.  I grew had fun in the 90s and I can't believe people are so reminiscent of the decade already.  Here's a collection of photos that perfectly sum up the decade.  I can't believe people dressed like that.

    12.  I think I've found my new social networking site that's going to make me close up Myspace, Facebook, Tumblr, and Xanga.  It's called JuggaloBook.  It's a social networking site for the underground family of Insane Clown Posse fans.  Yeah...I may have to rethink this.  If you want to read more about JuggaloBook, check out this article on Huffington Post.  This will not end well.


    An empire divided against itself cannot stand.  Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?  With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, only the Death Star can succeed.

    America...hell yeah.

    Well, ladies, I think it's come to that to get the message through.

    Even better than the real thing.  Did you know Christopher Columbus made Macauly Culkin stare at a paint of The Scream for hours at a time to help him get into the role of Kevin McCallister?


    Someone saw Conan O'Brien's twin sister on a subway.

    Make that the unhappy train.

    Such a happy family!

    Not even I'm that harsh.

    That is why I'd never be able to teach little kids.  I'd be laughing at them.
