• Lukewarm Links and Tattoo Thursday 11/29

  I was going to post something yesterday but I was in intense pain from something boneheaded.  I went out and did some Christmas shopping last night and when I got home I thought I saw something moving in my garage.  I moved a garbage can and I see black and white fur and I panic thinking it's a skunk.  I want to move out of my garage as fast as I can so I can avoid being sprayed.  I turn to run but my leg won't lift for some reason. My knee was locked and I sort of turned my body and my knee didn't turn with me.  I think and hope I just sprained some of the ligaments.  I'm on the ground and then the black and white fur comes out.  It's a cat and it comes up to me and sniffs me and runs away after I yell in pain.  I got inside but I could barely put weight on it.  I elevated and whatnot and today it's feeling better.  Anyway, time for links.

  1.  I enjoy history and often there are things that I picture about history that are wrong or incorrect.  Here are 6 things that we picture wrongly.

  2.  I think this may be the greatest thing ever...philosophical Honey Boo Boo.

  3.  I often get frustrated with Hollywood for making unnecessary sequels but what about the book world?  There are plenty of sequels out there, some good and some bad.  Here's a list of some book sequels that you may have not known existed.

  4.  Merchandise for TV and movies are sometimes forced onto the market.  Here are 11 dolls that the world could've done without.  I don't know, there's a few of those that I would've enjoyed.

  5.  I know I've talked about enjoying the lists on wikipedia.  This list of all the races of aliens in Star Trek absolutely blew my mind.

  6.  This collection of vinyl album covers is pretty cool.  It takes album covers that were shot at a specific place and shows them at the place in modern times.

  7.  Since I already posted philosophical Honey Boo Boo, here's Nietzsche Family Circus.

  8.  As I mentioned earlier, I enjoy history so for that reason here's a collection of the world's most impressive old aqueducts.  It's so amazing how the aqueducts the Romans made are still standing and our highways are falling apart.

  9.  Here's a fun photo editor.  It's called Mugshot Yourself and you can make your photo into an old timey mugshot.

  10.  I enjoy the AV Club and since I've taken to Tumblr I find myself reading it more often.  Here's a recent article about the 10 essential Simpsons episodes.  It's so difficult to pick the 10 best episodes of that show but they did a good job.

  11.  A resort in Taiwan has a suite for Batman fans.  I don't speak the language but the photos are cool.

  12.  Greg Rutter is a writer for The Onion and he has compiled a list of 99 things you should've experienced on the internet by now unless you're a loser or old.

  Now it's time for tattoos:
  
  This may be one of the most realistic tattoos I've ever seen.  I thought that was someone who had a lightning bolt tattooed coming out of their eye but then I realized it's a tattoo of an eye.
  
  Well that's unfortunate
  
  Well that's unfortunate but then he could always say the R means something else like "Randy" or "Rowdy" or "Radical" or "Rapist".
  
  Well I guess Chris is a lucky guy since his little slut was willing to tattoo his name and ownership on her inner thigh.  That must be hard to explain away at family reunions.
  
  Imagine that she teaches your children and that one day she wears a blouse and has to bend over to pick something up and the students see it.  "Mommy, teacher has a tattoo that says 'Semen Demon'.  What's that?"
  
  I think Kiara was fathered by Freddie Krueger
  
  Wanna go for a ride?  I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars!
  
  Spel chek is youre freind
  
  The nerd in me is doing cartwheels of joy seeing a Chuck Palahniuk "Invisible Monsters" tattoo.
  
  And the nerd in me is still doing cartwheels of joy over this tattoo of different things from the Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide saga. 
  
  Classy Boba Fett is classy.
  
  Sweet jackalope tattoo, bro.  I won't get a jackalope tattoo.  I'm happy enough with my mounted jackalope on my wall.
  
  That is the most adorable skull ever.
  
  I stare at the red mushroom and soon my little man becomes a big man.
  
  Don't we all love Bill Murray?

  Have a great time period after you read this post.
