Farkin' Links Vol. 135 8/23

I meant to go to the gym last night; I really did. Unfortunately, B used is incredibly persuasive talents in order trick me into playing a game of Madden football instead. In fact, the conversation went something like this,"Hey Adam, let's play a quick game of Madden." "O.K., sure." Do you see the subtlety of his question? I had no defense. Unfortunately for B, neither did his crappy team, the Texans. Never have I seen a team suffer more bad luck during a game than I witnessed that game. Besides the fact that he lost to the Bengals, he had 5 turnovers, was stopped twice on a 4th and one, he was also shut out. Not a good day...no sir, that's a bad day. Well, that's what he gets for keeping me from the gym.

I guess this is good news for guys...except that women couldn't tell you what they really wanted if their lives depended on it.

If Norway ever gets in a war, it's totally screwed. I like penguins probably more than the next guy, but I don't want him in my army.

I'm not sure this qualifies as "Japanese people are crazy" as much as it's Google's translation is crazy...but it's still pretty great.

Hehe...I guess there are some people in the world who haven't seen Star Wars, but I think they're living in a cave with Osama Bin Laden right now. Still, would anybody be sad if they started shooting these foolios dressed up like Stormtroopers? Lots of parents would have their basements back again.

I've been inspired by the 40 Year Old Virgin...o.k., and I'm Gonna Get You Sucka...I need these shoes!

Wow...who knew they had American Idol in China? I wonder who plays their Simon Cowell?

The future is here, again. Your contacts can now act as sunglasses...no mention as to why you'd want contacts since the development of laser surgery...and where the hell are my FLYING CARS!?!

Talk about an unfortunate last name...I wonder if Fuji is thinking of suing.

Damn...everyone's trying to outweird the Japanese...even Thailand is giving it a try. Of course, with names like Bangkok and Phuket, they don't have to try this hard. Link not safe for work.

Uh oh...the killer bees from Mexico are finally here.

The Romans keep impressing. Not only did they build all those roads and aqueducts, they were very creative graffiti insult artists. Does it get any better than calling someone a eunuch?

Hehe...would you like to buy a penguin?

Does anybody remember the ping pong skit with the weird, ninja looking stage people in the background? Well, it looks like they've put together a karate show, now.

Here's an actually funny SNL skit...of course it's from years ago. Watch as Will Ferrell does Neil Diamond's Storytellers.

Yes! I love Choose Your Own Adventure books! What can make it even better? How about a story about pirates?
