Farkin' Links Vol. 160 10/11

Before I start anything today, I have to seriously mock the hell out of USA Today. Walking into the office this morning, I took a gander at the font page and spotted a story on the new Gena Davis presidential fantasy show on TV. The tagline read something to the effect of,"Gena Davis plays a president on television, but the real job may be harder." No...really? Actually having to make life and death decisions affecting the entire world might be more difficult than reading lines in front of a camera? Wow...that's profound, USA Today...really profound.

I hope you all had a nice weekend; my basketball team won yet another game. This time, it was never in doubt since every player on our roster actually showed up, including Scotty, the guy who was crushed by a truck. He certainly looks a lot better than I would have expected and, despite some rust, he played about as good as he did before the accident. The final victory margin was something along the lines of 24 points; Mickey, the other team manager, was pretty upset and threatening revenge in the playoffs. He must have forgotten that this game was our revenge game against his team that whooped our ass by over twenty last time we played...we'll be sure to remind him when we kick the snot out of them in the playoffs.

This is a cool concept; they make a film of how various movies should have ended. They really need to do War of the Worlds.

Gee...churches celebrating national porn days? It really is the 21st century.

I knew it...watching Oprah kills.

Uh oh...this is bad news for my trip to India. I better keep the volume down on my dvd player. How does the country that wrote the Kama Sutra ban porn?

They say necessity is the mother of invention...I'd say in this case it was probably a 12 pack of Schlitz.

Google is playing with fire and Bill Gates is going to burn them. Mark my words.

What do you tell a woman in Saudi Arabia with two black eyes? Nothing...you already told her twice.

What do you think Katie(I'm sorry Kate now) and Tom Cruise will name their kiddie? Try putting your money where your mouth is in this online betting site.

Damn, this guy's got balls...for 149.99, I believe.

According to Esquire, Jessica Biel is the hottest chick alive...I wouldn't kick her out of bed, but for every Blade: Trinity and Stealth, she loses a little luster.

That's totally exploitation of the blind...and funny as hell.

This guy made a page devoted to the interesting residents of Texas...appropriately named Texas Trailer Trash.

Yikes...Dr. Frankenstein is alive and well down under. Still, you'd think he'd have something more grand in mind than Seabiscuit.

Note the leading headline on this story; and note the source of these allegations. I don't think they like our President very much.

Hehe...this kid as pretty good point.
