  • Lukewarm Links and Tattoo Thursday 11/8

    I hate getting old.  Arthritis really sucks.  I got all my grape wine bottled now so it just has to age and then I'll probably have to do another round of filtering because I've noticed sediment settling in the bottom of the bottles.  Tomorrow or this weekend I hope to bottle my hard lemonade.  Well enough boring stuff, time for links and tattoos.

    1.  When I was a kid one of the best toys you could get was the action figure.  There were so many out there.  It seemed like the best way to merchandise a movie or TV show was to create a line of action figures.  Well here are 7 action figures that didn't do so well and actually ruined their characters.  I am glad that I didn't have any of those.

    2.  There's not much you can do with old cassettes...not so fast...here are 11 cool things made from old cassettes.

    3.  I've been toying with the idea of doing a post about bad cakes.  Well I haven't gotten around to it so here is a collection of bad cakes.

    4.  I enjoy the Muppets and I know a few of you do as well.  Here are 11 Muppets who made 11 or fewer appearances on the Muppet Show.

    5.  Here are 11 pop culture references a lot of younger readers won't understand.  I guess I am old because I understood a majority of those.

    6.   I enjoy TV shows and I love tracing shows based and their spin-offs.  It's always amazing to see how many spin-offs All in the Family and Happy Days inspired although I don't know if you can count Happy Days since it is somewhat of a spin-off.  Anyway here's 11 spin-offs that almost happened.

    7.  I mentioned I enjoy find the lists on wikipedia.  Here is a list of headgear.

    8.  Are you hosting a party and looking for a game to play?  Well try Cards Against Humanity.  It's sort of like that Apples to Apples but for degenerates.

    9.  Now that the election is over we can get back to our daily lives and prepare for the 2014 midterm election.  But before you do that check out this collection of funny campaign signs for fictional campaigns.

    10.  Are you looking for a Christmas present for that hard to shop for person on your list?  What do you get for the person who has it all?  VELVET PAINTINGS FOR YOUR INNER-NERD!

    11.  I'm looking to lose some weight but I'll avoid these 8 disturbing diets.  #6 on that list...Wisconsin is a wild place.

    12.  I'm not much of a fan of the Garfield comic strip but then I found Garfield as Garfield and was an instant fan.  President James Garfield replaces Garfield the cat and hilarity ensues.

    Tattoo Time!

    I guess that's one way to take away from being self-conscious about scars.

    Unless the person you love dies

    I think if you'd try that you might need a tattoo to cover up a bite scar.  I know I should get one to cover up my dog bite scar.

    Well I think I'm going to have nightmares now.  I'm sure there is a story here but all I can think of is American Horror Story.

    Yes, us Wisconsinites not only enjoy Big Macs but we also like our PBR.

    Well the all seeing eye didn't see someone take a bite out of it.

    I at first thought, "Oh how fitting, putting the Jews next to the Nazis" but that swastika isn't twisted so it's from Hinduism.

    I don't think I'll be able to eat pepperoni pizza ever again.

    I hope moss doesn't grow on that rolling stone

    It's nice to see your mom getting outside and going for a walk.

    Well that's just swell

    In the not-too-distant future --
    Next Sunday A.D. --
    There was a guy named Joel,
    Not too different from you or me.
    He worked at Gizmonic Institute,
    Just another face in a red jumpsuit.
    He did a good job cleaning up the place,
    But his bosses didn't like him
    So they shot him into space.
    We'll send him cheesy movies,

    The worst we can find (la-la-la).
    He'll have to sit and watch them all,
    And we'll monitor his mind (la-la-la).
    Now keep in mind Joel can't control
    Where the movies begin or end (la-la-la)
    Because he used those special parts
    To make his robot friends.
    Robot Roll Call: (All right, let's go!)

    Cambot! (Pan left!)
    Gypsy! (Hi, girl!)
    Tom Servo! (What a cool guy!)
    Croooow! (He's a wisecracker.)
    If you're wondering how he eats and breathes

    and other science facts (la la la),
    Then repeat to yourself, "It's just a show,
    I should really just relax
    For Mystery Science Theater 3000!"


    I bet someone was celebrating the Colorado and Washington state election results.

    I saw this on Tumblr.  You gotta have a notary.  You just gotta.

    Eyeball  iced pastry carrot all?  Oh well, have a great weekend.
