Farkin' Links Vol. 140 8/30

You may be wondering why my links have been getting out so late this past week...of course, you probably don't give a damn, but it gives me an excuse to write about something. I'm out in Riverside this week covering for an employee on vacation. Normally, hanging out in 105 degree weather would piss me off(but, it's the dry heat!), but in this case I now have an excuse to go to my favorite fast food place, Farmer Boys. They have the biggest onion rings you have ever imagined and their hamburgers are heart attack sized...certainly not for the calorie counter, but quite tasty nonetheless. The other bonus of being in Riverside is the strange people out there. Take this exchange I overheard eating lunch yesterday, involving a teenage girl and the Mexican table server in the restaurant.

Teenager: Hi! What's your name?
Server: (looking nervous, like someone just asked her to name all the elements from the periodical table) Uhhhh...ummm...Melissa?
Teenager: Oh, Cool! That's my mom's name! She's Norweigan...hey, are you Norweigan too?

Hmmm...maybe dingos really didn't eat Meryl Streep's baby.

Here's a fairly simple game, but it does involve lots of bullets and blood, so I'm all over it.

Just like the rest of Europe, Russia seems to be killing itself. I say, bring back communism!

It's been a while, but this is the best silly ebay auction of the day I've seen in a while...maybe ever. Seriously though, who doesn't want to own a rapper's name?

For the "Japanese people are crazy" link, we have a cat and a woman...you know what? I'm not going to ruin it for you. You do really need to listen to the commentary, though. Unfortunately, it's not safe for work.

Hehe, gotta love Britney Spears stories, especially when they involve the abuse of children.

Wow...I know Chuck Norris brought us the wonderment and joy that is Walker, Texas Ranger and one of my all time favorite movies, Top Dog, but I bet you didn't know half the things on this site!

Oh. My. God. I...I'm beyond speechless. This is totally not safe for work, but DAMN! This guy is talented.

Who says men don't like older women?

This painter is very talented...too bad he wastes it on something this idiotic.

See, not only are Legos fun, they're educational as well.

I think this doofus robber inspired Sol and Vincent from Snatch. Sometimes truth really is stranger, and funnier, than fiction.

Here's a nice nominee for the mother of the year award. It's nice to be accepting of your daughter's boyfriends, but usually sex offenders don't make the short list of live ins.

Alright, that's enough. Maybe Pat Robertson is a nutbag, but we really need to get rid of this Hugo Chavez. Of course, we could wait until he gets his way on this case.

...and one sport mini-game for the road. I'm sorry, did I say sport? I meant golf.
