Lukewarm Links 6/21
Hey look at me posting one of these posts that I haven't done for two weeks. I hope you appreciate it or not.
1. I wasn't sure if I posted this before or not but if I did I apologize. It's a list of 8 words you can't say on the internet in China. And people think Americans are being stripped of their freedoms.
2. I think everyone likes an urban legend. Well some of those urban legends have some interesting origins. Here's a list of 5 ridiculous origins. I've been talking about the third one quite a bit lately.
3. I enjoy playing video games especially the old Grand Theft Auto games on PS2. I always found it funny when there was something hidden in the games. Well here's a list of some famous Easter Eggs in video games.
4. And while we're on the topic of video games...one thing I've noticed in the past is that people don't like video game violence but if there's a sex scene the game is EVIL. Sure you can saw off people's heads with a chainsaw but if the character has sexual relations that is awful. Well anyway I don't know where I'm going so here is a list of 7 famous sex scenes in video games.
5. I saw this list of books that everyone should read before they turn 30 and I was sort of shocked how many of those books I did read before I turned 30. And now I'm off to find the rest for my ereader.
6. I've noticed that a lot of people I follow on Tumblr and a lot of people here on Xanga love the show Boy Meets World. I only think I saw the first season and I didn't care for it. There I said it. I don't remember why exactly. I think I thought the lead character was spoiled or something. Anyway for the Boy Meets World fans here's a collection of then and now pics of the cast.
7. I found this site randomly on Tumblr. It's called Hot Dogs with Faces. The guy travels around America and he takes pictures of hot dogs that have faces. There aren't many entries but I was shocked he got one from my area.
8. This site, OKCupid Enemies, has quickly become one of my favorite Tumblr sites. It features photos of some of the worst that OKCupid has to offer. I am shocked that these people actually think they'll find a relationship on that site.
9. For the anal retentive people out there, here's a Tumblr site called Things Organized Neatly.
10. I've always been amazed by how many women win Academy Awards by playing a prostitute. In the 83 years of the Academy Awards 13 women have won for playing hookers...note that there have been others nominated who didn't win. By the way, only one man has ever been nominated for playing a prostitute.
11. I don't know what this really is other than having fun with triangles in multiple ways. When you get bored just click the white triangle on the side for something new to play with.
12. And since the baseball season is heating up, here's an interesting site. It keeps track of how fast and how slow players run around the bases after hitting a homerun. I'm actually shocked that the slowest ones are actually that "fast".
Always a problem
I'm sure my neighbors would approve
This may be the greatest moment in Sunny history.
Captain Whatever Planet that is
Michael Scott approves
Pretty much
Ah...the good old days! But seriously the last time I had a Blatz I thought I was going sterile.
Me too...I always ask Santa to make me a Tenenbaum every Christmas.
Forever alone...in bed.
There is nothing more exhilarating in life than smoking two cigarettes at the same time. Hmmm cravings...off to eat some popsicles.
Sadly, the Incontinent Hulk never caught on.
Xanga, you know who's awesome? You are.

Chinese fortune cookie- bwahah! That's depressing!
You're awesome, baby!
love the that's what t-shirt, very clever... and that triangle link, that is so fun.. gonna go back and play around over there some more
@BoulderChristina - aww thank you, those fortune cookies are always depressing. It always seems like when I go out with my family my mom always gets one about finding a new love interest and my dad gets mad.
@Peridot21 - there are 30 of those triangle things and I've only made it through about 5 of them because they get to be so addicting.
@godfatherofgreenbay - they really are... i just went through all of them! it's really cool... and i love the pretty color ones!
just to dumb things up a bit, to say the very least, here in your comments, with all the niceties and what not with p21 and bc - i thought you were going somewhere totally different with that anal thing... especially with hookers and triangles following...
<3 Tenenbaums
the okcupid tumblr makes me feel better about myself.
Looks like I have 19.5 books to read before I turn 30... Lets see... a little over 3 a year? I can manage.
I'v read p you know the book I'm seven years to damn late and old to read. I"m surprised don quixote is not thee best bok for a 14 year old to read now male as it's opening scene of the wine emetic are enduring to this generation after me. lolita should be required for girls of 9 anymore as the think such is their perspective more- but in fairness I'm disappointed go ask alice isn't there it is on par with lolita- most guys need only read the instructions to hit play and here thuddies say "that book by nabakov" to understand the reference. *police, don't stand so close to me..ortion about half that list but completed I believe * of it
I thought the green people were supposed to be a plant. No, really.
I want to check out all the links, but I have to go play a female halfling druidic monk in a D&D adventure in a few minutes.
sex scenes in video are considered racier than violence? ha
Your right about Baldwin, a complete tool
@Peridot21 - I had a feeling you would...I guess I'm the wizard now
@xplorrn - I had to change that, I guess anal retentive isn't as bad as what I thought. When I was in high school that was a big insult but that's because everyone rags on Freud and calling a person of Germanic descent that is liable to get the fists, bullets, and pointy helmets flying.
@LaughOutLoudLauren - it is such a great movie, in fact all of Wes Anderson's movies are great
@AncoraImparo - yeah I know the feeling
@Thatslifekid - yeah that is a doable number, good luck
@starmanjones - man your assessment of Lolita is right on given how we sexualize youth these days
@emily_shannon - I don't know what the green man is supposed to be other than a harbinger of good times
@Aloysius_son - well have fun, how does the dress fit?
@BranmacFeabhail - well I sometimes get the feeling people think that because when GTA San Andreas came out and it was revealed that there was a sex scene Hilary Clinton led the charge to ban the game but nothing was ever mentioned about how awful the violence was.
@ElevenStones - he just carries himself like he thinks he's better than everyone and his time is much more important than some peon photographer.
@godfatherofgreenbay - Dress? What? Are you high? I can't kungfu undead constructs in a dress. I am wearing leather armor!
@Aloysius_son - Oh I'm sure you could kung-fu in a dress. You'd just have to tie it shut on the legs to protect your coin purse.
I love your link posts, they always give me at least 3 things to click on every time!
also, GASP you don't like boy meets world!? haha I love that show! Eric was my favorite!!
@godfatherofgreenbay - You speak the truth
@raspberryjade - I find it hard to live because I'm not fully an 80s kid because the first half of the decade or so I was oblivious and then I can't be a 90s kid because the second half of that decade I was oblivious. #firstworldproblems
@godfatherofgreenbay - yes, you are!
