  • Lukewarm Links and Tattoo Thursday 9/27

    Well it's that time of the week again.  I keep thinking it's going to be fall and then the temperatures rise.  Today it was in the 70s but once the sun goes down it is nearly freezing and I am sitting here shivering because I need to get my furnace serviced before I start running it.  I know what will warm me up...some hotlinks.

    12.  Sometimes the people in our history books did more things than what they tell us.  Here are 5 people who also brought us sexual innovations.

    8.  Sesame Street kicked off it's 43rd season this week.  Here are 43 Sesame Street facts.

    6.  It's amazing how people can look so much alike.  Even more, it's really amazing when celebrities look like other celebrities.  Here's a collection of musicians and their celebrity doppelgangers.

    5.  I have recently gotten into Breaking Bad through the DVDs.  I'm really bad about watching shows when they actually air so it's just easier for me to watch the DVDs.  Anyway, here's a Tumblr site featuring Breaking Bad fan art.

    2.  I remember when Joe Biden came to Milwaukee in 2008 for a campaign stop at Kopp's frozen custard.  Biden asked about the ice cream and a worker corrected him by saying "It's not ice cream, it's frozen custard."  Biden told the worker to quit being a smartass.  Well Joe Biden loves his ice cream and frozen custard.  Here's a Tumblr site devoted to Joe Biden eating ice cream.

    7.  Here's a Tumblr site I've come to enjoy called Lucille and Mitt.  It combines Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development with actual Mitt Romney quotes.  Like the site says...rich people say the darnedest things.

    4.  I don't know what to say other than here's a list of the 9 most famous prostitutes in history.

    9.  There's a high school in Minneapolis called Southwest.  They have one of the most interesting afterschool clubs in all the schools in the Twin Cities.  Doesn't take a lot to amuse those students.

    3.  Well the baseball regular season is coming to an end and the playoffs will soon start so I decided to share this collection of the 50 greatest caps in baseball history.

    1.  I stumbled upon this article about a French designer who has rethought the beer bottle.  He made them cubed.  It looks pretty good but I hate Heineken.  That would be so much easier for stacking.

    10.  I don't know who has an ereader but I know I've shared Project Gutenberg before so I'll share with you Planet Ebook.  It's a collection of 80 classic titles that are free in ebook form.

    11.  And while I'm on the subject of reading, here's a collection of the libraries of 15 famous men.  One day I'll have one of those and maybe I'll be famous...HAHAHAHAHA

    Tattoos may be NSFW and NSFL


    This is a quote from Chuck Palahniuk's novel "Fight Club".  You know when I saw this all I could think about was hitting a speed bag.  What the fuck is wrong with me?  I probably saw this video way too many times.

    This is a tattoo of a book cover from Chuck Palahniuk's "Invisible Monsters".  That's one of his books I'd love to see made into a movie.  Hell, I'd love to see all his books made into films.

    I'll pass because I'm pretty sure you've put something else there and I don't want that on my throat.

    I'll stay true and I want to give her peace a chance.

    This is some band tattoo but I'm not sure exactly because I'm old and unhip however I really like that saying.

    I better not say anything negative about this tattoo otherwise I'll get another person to create a Xanga account to send me hate mail.

    Well that's lovely.  I wonder if that's her name or how she describes her actions.

    Louis Vuitton...someone is a fan.  I wonder if when that guy dies if someone will take his skin off and tan it and turn it into a purse.

    This librarian had to get this tattoo to shush her boyfriend during their love making sessions.

    Reading really does give you superpowers.

    Every time I saw this tattoo in my files I always thought of the Reading Rainbow theme song.  It's the strangest thing.

    Hell yeah...BOOKS!  I'm sure my librarian readers appreciate these.  I actually dig them if you cared.

    This is Uma Thurman's character from Pulp Fiction after she was saved from overdose.  "Ifyou're all right, say something."  "Something."

    Someone loves Photoshop.  I wonder if in a few years they'll photoshop this pic and make it appear as if they have no tattoo.

    Where the Wild Things Are...they're on his arm.  That's an easy answer.

    Well that's a nice tattoo to have forever.

    All you need is love?  False.  The human body requires a constant intake of nutrients, fluids, and oxygen and not love.

    A mixer?  I bet someone really likes cooking.  Well at least the reflection on the bowl is pretty cool. 

    Of all the Jason Segel characters and Muppets to get tattooed on your body.  I could think of at least a dozen others that are better choices.

    With the price of gold these days...no no no that's not good.  I wonder if he ever finds himself subconsciously rubbing his feet together.

    Have a great night.
