Lukewarm Links 3/22
Well it's time for another batch of links. I hope you enjoy these.
1. I'm pretty sure I shared this Tumblr before but it's one of my favorite. It's called Paula Deen Riding Things and that's the premise. It's photoshopped photos of Paula Deen riding things. Enjoy.
2. Much like the Paula Deen site, this Tumblr site has a self-explanatory title. It's called Chandler Dances on Things. It's photoshopped photos of Chandler Bing dancing on random things.
3. And while we're on Tumblr and self-explanatory site names, this one is called Batman Running Away from Shit. It's gifs of the old school Batman with Robin running from random things. Those right there are what's pulling people away from Xanga...well that and the constant bickering over "trolling" by a person who has like 40 Xanga accounts.
4. I was searching for info about presidents with allergies and I came across this site that documents the medical history of the U.S. presidents. This is the type of nerd I am. I find that stuff fascinating. I also find it funny that Clinton seemed to be allergic to everything under the sun except the strange. Oh and Obama wears a size 13 and 1/2 bowling shoe. I wear 17s but then he's probably a better bowler than me but I'm pretty sure I could beat him at a game of drink the beer.
5. So often we mock one-hit wonders of the musical world but here are 5 one-hit wonders that deserve praise. I think I have to agree with all of them.
6. There are a lot of good books out there that get made into movies when they should be left alone. Frankly, I think this about The Hunger Games. I found this article about 25 novels that should have movie adaptations but don't. I agree with a lot of them except two, Confederacy of Dunces and The Catcher in the Rye. If there is ever an adaptation of The Catcher in the Rye I wonder if we'll have a new generation of assassins who have a copy of that dvd.
7. Here's a fun site, scroll over the dots and keep on doing so until you reveal a photo. I was going to post this Saturday but thought I'd post it now.
8. I heard the sad news that Encyclopedia Britannica is ceasing production of the hard copy encyclopedias. I have a feeling part of it was because of Ted Mosby's instance on the "correct" pronunciation of "encyclopedia". Anyway, here's a list of 5 things people will miss about real encyclopedias. Back when I was in 6th grade I remember how much time we spent looking at the B, V, and S-Sn volumes of the World Book.
9. A while back I did a post about famous last sayings and it got me also thinking of funny tombstone epitaphs. Instead of doing a seperate post, here's a collection of some funny tombstones.
10. I found an awesome video on Youtube through this site. It's basically a challenge to see how long you can listen to Darth Vader breathing. The video is a 10 hour loop of Darth Vader breathing. The longest I've managed is 3 minutes.
11. And while we are on the topic of Star Wars, here's ten facts you probably didn't know about Star Wars.
12. Grand Forks, North Dakota has one of the best culinary critics in America. Her review of Olive Garden is legendary.
This is a serious problem, people.
The bench says "Only for Aryans". HE HAS BROWN EYES AND ISN'T PURELY BLONDE! BURN HIM!
And that is why the people of Wisconsin appreciate Bo Ryan.
And that's the way we liked it!
I bet they weren't kissing when the Death Star blew up. Oops...spoiler alert.
Oh, George Lucas, why don't you just take your money from the Android phone and leave Star Wars alone. Yeah, that douche gets money off all of you who buy Android phones because he owns the rights to the word "android".
I bet he wasn't singing in the rain when the Forest Moon of Endor fell into rebel hands...oops spoiler alert.
The force is indeed strong in my pants.
Yeah...da fuck is right.
This would be better than a 3D release. I still have a sinking feeling about it.
I do have big feet.
Michael Jordan was so amazing.I hope everyone is having a wonderful time.

I dunno.... I think he got four outta five on that one hit wonders things.... but that number one song tubwumppin .... Ummm.... no.
Batman and Robin!!!
Michael Jordon was ballet on the court. I was lucky enough to have seen him play. I also saw him walking to his car during Spring training (baseball). // I didn't know that about George Lucas and Android. What I do find curious is how come when we grow old, our cheeks blend with our chins and neck? Girls can acquire a beard to attempt to hide this phenomena, however, it's weird enough on a man. Happy Friday.
star war
I like like the randomness of this haha...
well, first of all, the Dwitanic poster is awwwesome!
... i love the Chandler Dancing on Things, it's hilarious... and that One Hit Wonder link is good too, they're right.
oh rodney dangerfield...
Love the tombstone link, thanks of the laugh!
And since I don't mind facing controversy...I actually will go out on a limb and admit that I like Olive Garden.
There! I said it on the internet and it cannot be unsaid, (unless I try to edit in the next 10 minutes...
)
I actually love their salads and soups, and it's one of the few places that cook fettuccine noodles to the texture I like. What can I say...I like predictable food as much as I like high class food.
So random, but entertaining at the same time
@roscoes_farm - I don't really care for the Tubthumping song but some of the other stuff they've put out is pretty good.
@boilingicicle - those are so much fun
@sleekpeek - I never got to see Jordan play other than on TV. The closest I came to seeing Jordan is seeing Scottie Pippen up close and personal.
When I first started seeing the Android commercials I noticed a little thing on the bottom about Lucasfilms so I checked it out and sure enough that's why that Lucasfilms thing was in the commercials. He owns that word. That's sort of creepy.
@James2012 - glad you liked those
@Zissu25 - yeah I like a break like this
@Peridot21 - glad you liked that Dwight one, I had a feeling you would.
I think I saw my very first episode of Friends today. I wasn't impressed. I think the dancing website is much better.
A while back I saw a show on VH1 of the worst songs in music. I liked so many of them and I ended up downloading all of them.
@BranmacFeabhail - yeah that is a good one and what I've thought of using
@ExposedWrists - glad you liked the tombstone one, I should've included the tombstone generator
I don't mind Olive Garden as long as people don't say it's authentic Italian. It's like most Chinese restaurants. People think it's Chinese but it's American food in Chinese styles.
@xdeelynnx - glad you enjoy, I do like randomocity
i don't like 3d but i do like Titanic. If only it would show in my town.
Here is a single eprop for you. It's ok. Go on, take it! You earned it! Now be sure you don't spend it all in one place.
hahaha love these! also, http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0f7xh0cjR1rppi2wo2_500.gif
I love the Batman Tumblr
Thanks for the chuckles!
@StrawberrySunrises - I'd probably have to travel about 40 miles just to see the 3d version of the movie. I saw it once I really don't know how they could "improve" it with 3d
@Aloysius_son - thank you so much and I'm not just saying that for the single eprop, I'm also saying that for the artwork. I got it framed and will hang it next to my computer station in my den one of these days. I also need to figure out a proper gift to send back.
@raspberryjade - now if they could just get Batman running away this post would achieve nirvana
@TheGiantSlayer - that is such a fun and clever site
@RestlessButterfly - glad you enjoyed
You posting are wonderful and informative.
