Farkin' Links Vol. 150 9/21

I had another signing in the hood yesterday and I'd like to offer this observation yet again; if black people are going to remove that stereotype of them always eating fried chicken, having a Church's, a Popeye's, and KFC on every street corner is probably not the way to go. This particular signing was a reschedule; the first time didn't go so well. The man wasn't informed that he was supposed to bring money to signing and he basically went ape-sh*t. I don't blame him; if my loan company did that to me, I'd be ready to get medieval on someone too. The thing is, I'm usually the closest one around, so I get to hear the creative abuse that flows from people's lips. It's improved my profanity lexicon, but it's not very fun to encounter on a regular basis. This time I made sure he spoke to his loan officer and got everything straightened out before I rode down there. The only problem with this signing was the fact that he was an angry black man. You may have met one; they're always looking to be offended about anything they can interpret as racist so they can act indignant and shout at someone. Since I wasn't playing along this day, he managed to get himself worked up just by talking to himself...it was quite entertaining, really. I can't imagine going through life that mad all the time; I'd hate to see his blood pressure.

On my way home, for some odd reason, I was suddenly craving fried chicken. Imagine that. I decided to just stop at one of the several Popeye's I passed heading to the freeway because I hadn't been there in a while. Now I remember why I've avoided the place; the chicken is terrible...and in such small portions, too. Hehe...I love that joke. Besides that, I got hit up about 4 times by homeless vagrants begging for change while I was eating. One particularly large woman who looked like she might eat me was begging for money so she could buy food,"I'm starving," she told me. I told her that by the looks of it, she was doing a really crappy job at starving. Then I quickly smiled and played it off like a joke while I gave her the rest of my change before I got shived or, worse, sat on. Say what you want about being a notary, it's rarely boring.

Hehe...here's a blog set up specifically to review stupid, boring or just plain ugly blogs. I wonder why mine hasn't made it yet?

I know I've put this up a while ago, but it's been a while since I threw on a soccer link, and this guy is just so damn...happy.

This is a pretty amusing collection of photoshopped propaganda posters.

That's...that's a lot of pennies. I don't think the Coinstar down the street can handle that.

How did these clips get cut from the commercial? I would have totally been inspired to buy a winnebago.

This is a nice return of the "Japanese people are crazy" links...have you ever wanted to see the Mario Brothers in comic book form? Yeah, me neither...but this is just bizarre.

Here's a real low budget shooting game...but it has a killer soundtrack.

Hey, it's a Britney Spears Barbie doll...oh wait...

That's a pretty funny way to go...talk about death by gluttony. I don't care what this mom says, I'm still getting a coke later.

I was about to support these women with their crusade for going topless, until I noticed their ages. I'm sure gravity wants them to use a bra, too.

This kind of reminds me of my first trip to Vegas without my 'rents...of course, the tree was much smaller.

So THAT'S how you solve a Rubik's cube! I'm still lost. Screw it, what's on TV?

Here's a revenge site for bitter women that have been cheated on.

Speaking of revenge...this is how you do it, ladies. This is far more entertaining...well, maybe not for you, but for us guys. Not safe for work.

...and now for my nominee for Hero of the week. 69 hours! That's impressive, man! Hehe...69...
