Farkin' Links Vol. 126 8/8

So, our basketball season is over, culminating in ignominious defeat. I suppose missing one of our best players wasn't the best way to start a do or die game, but we just didn't bring it. We deserved to lose that one. The worst part is the fact that our team self destructed and two players decided to start taking it out on the refs...the refs were about as terrible as usual, but that's not why we were "brought to crashing reality", as my friend Chris would say. Well, next season starts in September, so back to the drawing board. As Hubie would say, after a successful season like this, there's plenty of upside to look forward to.

I also ended up watching a really lame musical named Bride and Prejudice. From the people who brought us a fairly entertaining, cute chick flick Bend it Like Beckham, we have this mess of a film. They basically took the plot of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice involving four sisters in a middle class family who's scheming mother is trying to get them married off and transfered it to present day India and added lots of cheesy singing and dancing. Normally, I'm all for Bollywood goofiness, but it seriously misfires in this flick. Besides the terrible acting by the principal love interest, supposedly an American yet played by another sneaky New Zealander, this movie can't decide which direction it's going. Suffering from a much longer running time than is necessary, I'm gonna have say I'm prejudiced against ever watching this movie again. Not even on cable. 4/10 Oh...and since Tristan has such a tough time figuring out my grading system, I'll introduce a letter grade as well. D



For those of you that are running out of random conspiracies about George W. Bush, here's a nice generator to make your life easier.

Well, now I know why men have nipples. I suppose I can die happy now. This seems like it's a pretty good book, though.

Here's yet another opinion of the 100 greatest movie characters of all time. Give it a couple of more years and Napoleon Dynamite will have to make this list. At least Dr. Evil is there.

Ummm...I watched it, but I don't understand why anyone would do this. People like this need to be neutered so they can't breed more morons.

I knew I was right to not let my mom kiss me when I was a kid.

Pills to make women orgasm slower? What...are these tailor made for porn stars or something?

Wow...killing your wife so she'll leave you alone to watch sports seems kind of harsh...unless it was the Superbowl or something big like that.

Holy crap! A T-800 Terminator model is working undercover as a stripper! I doubt she'll find Sarah Connor that way.

Well, this is a good case that Maria Menounos' breasts are real...but I'm not convinced. I'm going to have to examine these pictures more closely.

This guy takes that saying "What would MacGyver Do?" far too seriously...besides, we all know MacGyver didn't like guns.

Speaking of MacGyver...well, I don't think he ever built a paper camera. Of course, he was in the U.S., not the crappy, poor ass Soviet Union.

Hehe...Banksy strikes again on the West Bank Wall. He's totally off on his politics, but it's pretty damn funny and creative. I really like this guy.

For the "Japanese people are crazy" link, we have a fun teacher who makes their students eat like dogs. She says it's part of their lunch training...I say...craaaaazy...

Looks like France is really appealing to their Muslim population with a new Muslim themed 'Beurger King' fast food restauarant. Do you think they serve ham there? By the way, France sucks.

For the silly ebay auction of the day...well, we have a scandalous pool table that Jude Law used the wrong set of balls on...Professor Harold Hill is right, Trouble with a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for Pool!
