Farkin' Links Vol. 9 1/4


I usually expect fools from the U.N. like Jan Egelend to criticize the U.S., but the nonsense is now coming out of our own papers. Howard Kurtz writes today in the Washington Post, "Like it or not, Bush fostered the impression that he was painfully slow to react to the post-Christmas disaster while at the ranch. Three full days with no appearance before the cameras? What else did he have to do that was more important?" Hey Howie...how about a nice big cup of shut the fuck up. The election is over, we'll probably raise far more money privately than through the incompetent government of ours and we have all the transports at our disposal over there helping. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Mr. Kurtz, stop being part of the fucking problem. Sorry about that, I needed to rant today. Here's the happy-go-lucky links of the day.



I think South Africa is a little ahead of these car anti-theft systems with their flame throwers, but I'd use them.

Just in case you ever end up in a Russian prison and want to understand the tattoo culture...hey, you never know.

Did you ever wonder where the the phrase "fuckin' A" came from? Yeah, me neither. But hey, somebody wrote a piece on it anyways.

I guess the defnition of finger foods is different in Africa. I'll have to keep that in mind when I got to Zimbabwe. Well, keep that and a gun.

I guess these pillows beat the fake women's lap, but not by much. Why would you want to sleep on a piece of sushi?

This is a fun page full of all the nitpicking you can think of for movies. I certainly didn't notice Spiderman's mask changing.

Here's 100 things you didn't know last year...or weren't likely to care. I mean, is the fact that Brazilians are the nationality most likely to read spam really that necessary to know?

This is a pretty helpful eye chart for guys. Just keep in mind how true the beer section is.

Alright...one of the classic Fox Sports commercials! I'd give this dive an 8...damn Russians.

Wow...never bring a crybaby to a pillowfight. This is just...sad.

Here is a list of the wackiest police calls of last year. My personal favorite,"Oct. 15, 9:08 p.m.: A man violated a restraining order, entered a house in the 1000 block of Laurel Avenue, took a parrot and threatened to kill it." That parrot must have been laughing at him.

This story is just disturbing. Who wouldn't be mentally unstable after spending several weeks with decomposing bodies.

Yet another retrospective on weird stories in 2004. My personal favorite is the one about T I Double GG Er. I'm sure it was all a big misunderstanding...Tigger wouldn't do something like that.

Girls sure dress differently from when I was in High school. I blame Britney Spears. Thank you, Britney!

Well, it looks like they went ahead and did it, despite all logic and sense telling them no. Meet the new Los Angeles Angels! Who play in Orange County. Yeah, that's just great.

Gee...maybe Jack should have gone to college in the Ukraine. He definitely would have graduated in 10 years.

Hehe...if you're tired of Monopoly (and let's face it, who isn't? Even if you slap Star Wars or Star Whores onto it) check out these board games.

Here's a page where a man eats some almost food and gives you a review on it. It still has nothing on some of the crap I've seen eaten at Chinese restaurants, but it's still pretty entertaining.

This is very involved for a flash game...plus you get to shoot things. I'm sold.

...and to round out 2004, here's just one more weird stories of last year link. Makes you wonder about what happened to the chickens you eat, huh?
