Even More Random Linkery


I don't know if all y'all noticed, but recently I'm been putting up one entry a day filled with random but interesting links. Do you like these entries? Should I keep doing it? I enjoy it -- it releases me from the obligation to try to spin a whole entry out of something I only have a sentence or two of opinion on -- but, you know. I try to be about the customer service, here. Let me know.

* Thieves steal inflatable sheep -- see, now, this is a perfect example of what I mean. Once I do my sheep related pun ("this is the work of some ba-a-a-a-a-d men"), I got nothin'. And yet, how could I not share a story about pilfered blowup farm animals with you? It's not possible that I wouldn't. Because I love you too much.

* Why your corneas are clear -- and no, it's not "because otherwise I couldn't see." That's totally getting it backward.

* Little Man already one of the worst films of all time -- I knew that the first time I saw the advertisement. I understand someone must think the Wayans family is actually funny (this movie made, what? 21 million over the weekend?), but whoever these folks are, I beg you: please get out more.

* Guy jumps off his motorcycle while it's going about 110 mph. His excuse: It was exploding at the time. That's reasonable. He ends up only fracturing an arm. That's lucky. Says afterward "There's no way you can keep me off my bike." That's insane.

* Vacation Quest! Here's a resort that's offering "a selection of real-world quests solving riddles and becoming more powerful... Families can choose to stay in a 'Quest Master' suite, where the power of their wands will manipulate the appliances within the room." Perfect for when you want your teenage child to actually explode from embarrassment!

I've got a +3 Phone of Room Service! And I'm not afraid to use it!
