  • Lukewarm Links 5/10

    I started writing about politics and realized it wasn't a good idea and while I write this I imagine the music from Doogie Howser when he wrote his blog.  Now I'm thinking of "Born in the U.S.A.".  Now I think it's time for links.

    1.  Clever and witty banter...here's some weird underwear which may be mildly NSFW.  Insert story of working at tourist trap and selling novelty men's underwear that was fireman and carpenter themed and how the fireman underwear had a hose in front and the carpenter underwear had a drill in front.

    2.  If you rely on movies for facts, I feel bad for you.  I just read something today that 8 of the top 10 grossing movies of 1981 were based on true stories.  None of the top 10 grossing movies of 2011 were based on true stories.  Here are 6 myths people believe about space based on movies.

    3.  If you want something disturbing, here's a collection of photos of serial killers when they were kids.

    4.  There's something I've been noticing at the local colleges.  It's classes for older people on how to use Facebook.  Well I think some people of ALL ages need classes on how to use Facebook.  Hell, people need classes on how to be polite on the internet.  How many Xangans would fail that class?  Anyway, one of my guilty pleasure Tumblr pages is called Old People Writing on a Restaurant's Facebook Page.  I guess you get what it's all about from the title.  It's quite interesting to see what some people write on businesses walls.

    5.  We've all heard of planking and Tebowing but have you heard of Draping?  Draping is sitting like Don Draper from Mad Men like in the logo for the show.  I do Draping every Sunday in church because stretching out my arm on the back of the pew makes me pay attention or something like that but it's totally not me wanting to show off my guns because I sit in the back row.

    6.  Here's a Tumblr that was sort of popular a few weeks ago when The Hunger Games was in theaters before The Avengers started advertising.  It's called Mean Girls of Panem.  It takes scenes from The Hunger Games and inserts dialogue from Mean Girls and vice-versa.

    7.  Remember Geocities?  Well you can now make your favorite website look like a Geocities page with the Geocities-izerThis is what mine looks like.

    8.  I was reading somewhere that as the older you get the harder it is to distinguish between colors and hues.  Well here is a Hue Test that will tell you have good your eyesight is and how good you are at distinguishing hues.

    9.  I forgot to add this Tumblr in the Tumblr section.  It's a celebrity account belonging to swimsuit and Playboy model Kelly Brook.

    10.  If you are a baseball fan and want to look up player stats and information the best bet is to use ESPN because they have extensive player data.  Well one thing I've noticed about their website is that they have some bad photos for the players.  I guess other people have noticed the same thing because here's a collection of the 25 worst player profile pics on ESPN.com.  #2 on that list cracks me up every single time.

    11.  Want to make everything in your life OK?  Here's a button to make everything OK.  I pressed it and I will see if everything is OK later.

    12.  I've been having way too much fun with this site called Ball Droppings.

    13.  Since I didn't do any timestamping of my tattoo post, here it is.  I hate night meetings because I never have enough time to hang with my cronies on Xanga.





    AMERICA!

    I think this should be my new profile pic and I should just leave blank comments all over Xanga.

    This has been floating around the nets today.  It's an Avenger t-shirt found in China.

    I have no clue but it makes me laugh.

    It's a powerful company.

    IT WORKS! Wait....ES FUNKTIONIERT!

    I had a cousin that loved that series when he was a kid.  I don't think this was on his book shelf.  That kid is in for a thrashing and even the owl lamp knows it.

    I hope it's not the dirty south.

    I think this is how I want to announce a pregnancy that is my doing.  Also, if people come up and rub my significant other's stomach and say, "Congratulations," I will demand they rub my penis and say, "Good work!"  Yes, old joke is old.


    Gute Nacht alle.  Bitte hassen mich nicht.
