Links 2005

Favorite Links

I will put a new site on this page each week. This will be a site that either made me laugh my butt off, twisted my mind, or inspired me in some way. If I can’t find a site like this each week, the link will probably lead to a bunch of naked chicks!!

Divorce Kevin — Some people don’t think that Kevin Federline is a good thing for Britney Spears.  I’m not sure I care enough about Britney Spears to even want to dedicate a brain cell or two thinking about her relationships.  Although I do think she’s hotter than a burning ember!

August 6, 2005

Spooky Sounds of Saturn — Saturn sounds like a pretty spooky place to hang out!  The Cassini spacecraft monitored intense radio emissions.  The radio waves are closely related to the auroras near the poles of the planet and are similar to Earth’s northern and southern lights.  This is a link to an audio file of these radio emissions.

Spooky Sounds of Saturn in reverse — Shortarmguy investigated the Saturn Radio Emissions further.  After slowing down the sounds and playing them in reverse, he found a hidden message.  Scary stuff indeed.

Adolescents and Dust Off — Shortarmguy contributor Denise felt this was pretty important and asked me to spread the word to as many people as possible.

Rich Dad — I’m always looking for secrets, tips, and tricks for achieving Financial Independence.  Robert Kiyosaki is the author of the best seller, Rich Dad, Poor Dad.  His books and tapes are pretty interesting, but I recently was exploring his website and discovered a very interesting post on the forums.  If you’re the type of person who’s interested in starting your own business and seeking FI, Check out Part III of this post here.

Grouchy Media — This site hosts a large number of military rock videos.  The Army should contact this guy and sign him up for their recruitment team!

TribbleChomper — This was a great email received by Shortarmguy.  “Todd…Thank you for teaching!  a lesson…said lesson being that I should focus less on my DISability and more on my ABILITY. You asked for picture contributions…Here’s what I came up with.”  This link is to a collection of these pictures.  Keep up the good work, Tribblechomper!

Souter Gets Eminent Domained? — Not sure how this will turn out, but it ought to fun to watch!

War Of The Worlds — I can’t believe I haven’t heard more people bashing this movie!  It looks like it had a pretty decent opening weekend with $66 million, but it was terrible!!  Don’t get me wrong, the aliens were cool and the first 20 minutes has great promise.  But the reaction of the people to the aliens is so unbelievable it borders on absurd!  The highlight is when Tom Cruise has the only Vehicle in town that works and he’s able to drive through a perfect path of stalled vehicles on the interstate.  Then he drives it into a town full of people who go apeshit and carjack it from him!  It’s so improbable, it’s almost comical!  But of course, I didn’t want to laugh at this movie!  I wanted it to freak me out!!!  Nothing Doing!  Spielberg has definitely been slipping in my book lately!  It’s too bad because he’s always been one of my favorite directors!

King Kong  — Now this looks like a good movie!  King Kong starring Jack Black and directed by Peter Jackson?  Crazy Amazing or Crazing as I like to call it!  It’s always tough to tell from the previews though.  I thought War of the World was going to be great and that was like a wet dream turning into a wet nightmare!

All Your Base Are Belong To Us — I think I posted a link to this video a few years ago, but I recently stumbled across it again and still loved it!  It’s a salute to an old bootleg arcade game with a poor Japanese to English translation. 

July 3, 2005

Batman Begins — I thought Batman Begins was an incredible movie!  The best character development of any Superhero movie ever!  The plot was a little thin, but I was mesmerized by Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine.  I can’t wait for the sequel!

Dukes of Hazzard — We saw previews for Bewitched which looks absolutely horrible.  We also saw a preview for the Dukes of Hazzard and it looks like it might be pretty dang funny.  Plus, Jessica Simpson looks smoking as Daisy Duke!  Have you seen this new music video she did for the movie?  Those boots could do whatever they want to me!!

Tom Cruise Gets Wet — I’m sure everyone has seen this by now, but if you missed the video of Tom Cruise getting squirted with water during an interview, you can watch it here.  Choose the 2nd option: Video of Interview.

49ers Training Video — Here’s a link to the 49ers training video which has caused a bunch of fuss.  It’s kind of funny, kind of stupid and obviously intended for a very select audience.  But political correctness prevails as always and the guy who made this lost his job.  How sad.

Tom Cruise Gone Wild — Tom Cruise has lost his mind.  But I might do the same thing for Katie Holmes….who knows!  There’s some more pictures of the circus here.

Prophet Yahweh — This guy can supposedly summon UFO’s on command.  And he surprises a television news crew from Los Angeles when he actually does it on camera.  Watch the video!

Fainting Goats — Them’s some crazy goats!

Veeper — This ECARD creator is really neat!  You can upload and animate any picture!

Voyageur Media Center PC — This is a PC that Famed Shortarmguy Stalker Steve “Cuds” Cuddihy built and we’re currently selling at Nor-tech.  I thought this review turned out great for us!  Media Center PC’s are extremely cool, but apparently they’re not very popular yet.  Shortarmguy’s alter ego, Todd Swank, was quoted in this article discussing Microsoft’s newest operating system.

June 5, 2005

Pictures Of A Guy Eating The Pavement — A photographer has been criticized for taking pictures of a bicycle rider who hits a big pothole and then crashes into the street.  He claims he was trying to help others avoid the same fate by highlighting the problem.  I’m not sure what to think on this one!

May 28, 2005

The BJ Shea Experience — It appears that BJ Shea is a DJ on 100.7 The Buzz Radio For Guys in Seattle, Washington.  I can’t say that I’ve heard his show, but he put a picture of Shortarmguy and a link to my site on his website, so I’m guessing he’s a Damn Good Guy!!

I Love Paris — Burger King increases their Sleaze Factor by featuring Paris Hilton in a sexy spot showcasing their Spicy New Sandwich.  I don’t know about this one.  When I watch it, I don’t really think about eating. 

Star Wars Trailer — Krazy Kory was one of those 35 year old Star Wars nuts that stood in line for three days wearing his Jar Jar Binks costume.  His favorite pastime for the past two years has been surfing the net finding every spoiler he could for Episode III and sending them to me, even though he knows I hate spoilers!  He did find this original trailer for the original Star Wars, which is actually very cool.  If you have trouble finding it, go under the section marked original trilogy and keep hitting next clip until the very end.

Star Wars Spoofs  — If you’re like Krazy Kory and can’t get enough Star Wars in your life, you should check out this site.  It’s Fun!

Thong Song — I love it when the ladies wear thongs to the beach!

Number of the Beast — All this time we thought 666 was the number of the beast…come to find out, it was actually 616.  Does this mean that Grand Rapids, Michigan is the center of Hell?

Bigfoot Photo — Ladies, you know what they say.  If he has Big Feet….

Bo Bice Busted — It was reported this week that American Idol Finalist, Bo Bice, had a couple brushes with the law regarding some drug problems.  I like Bo, but Carrie Underwood is my favorite.  I think she’s going to crush everyone!  I’m also glad that Constantine Maroulis was voted off this week!  I’ve liked Scott Savol since the beginning and think he deserves to be in the final three.  If I had my way, Anthony Fedorov would be voted off next followed by Vonzell Solomon.  Then, after Carrie Underwood wins, she poses for naked pictures in Playboy!  If I had my way…

Vanishing — How To Disappear in America Without Leaving A Trace.  Krazy Kory sent this to me.  I’m sure this is information he’ll need to use more than once in his life.

April 30, 2005

    Has Johnny Gosch Been Found? — I’m sure anyone who grew up in Iowa in the eighties will remember the story of Johnny Gosch and how he was abducted and never found.  I remember having nightmares about it when I was a kid.  Well, there’s a growing conspiracy theory that Gosch is actually scandalized White House Press Reporter Jeff Gannon.  Crazy!!

Bikini Sniffer — If you’re at the store and a beautiful woman asks you to help her decide on which bikini she should buy, it might be wise to think there’s a hidden camera somewhere.  So don’t smell the stuff she just tried on…

NumaNuma Video Revisited  — I posted a link to this video a few weeks ago, but apparently it’s popularity just continues to get bigger and bigger.  The video has been viewed millions of times and the creator, Gary Brolsma, is now an international celebrity appearing on television show’s like Good Morning, America, CNN, and VH1.  Lucky Bastard!

Wikipedia — The constantly growing, open source, free encyclopedia.  Like Ebay, this is what the internet was made for!

February 20, 2005

MJ’s Favorite Things — I used to think he was innocent and a victim of the media, until I saw him claim to be abused by the police.  He said they locked him in a room with Doodie on the walls and tormented him.  Then the police released a video showing that no such thing ever happened.  My thought is, if he can lie about that….he can lie about anything. 

Rooster Booster — I’m hooked on this energy drink!!  It’s just like Red Bull, but only a buck a can. Supposedly, I’m getting smarter with every can I drink!  If it really worked, I’d be smart enough to know that it’s stupid to pay a buck for a small can of double caffeinated soda pop!

EPIC 2014 — This is a paranoid vision of the future.  Big Brother Is Really Watching!!

Go Daddy.com — The Go Daddy.com commercial was probably one of the Super Bowl’s Best.  Here you can see the Full, Uncensored version.  Here’s a site that has all of the Super Bowl Commercials ranked 1 through 29.

Jail Cam — A Live Video Feed inside a Tennessee Jail.  Looks pretty boring to me!

NWA Cover —(Warning: Heavy Profanity!) A female country singer covering NWA?  I love it!

Ray — I saw Ray this weekend and loved it too!!

You know Rudy? — Dr Bollig sent this to me.  Said it reminded him of Shortarmguy’s old dog Rudy.  Kind of made me cry!!

Paul Ebeling — I wanted to list this site as one of my favorites, although it certainly isn’t one of my regular weird or wacky sites that I usually list here.  Paul Ebeling is a guy from Clear Lake, Iowa where Shortarmguy grew up.  Paul recently discovered a large tumor in his chest and has some pretty difficult challenges ahead of him dealing with radiation treatment and surgery.  Please keep Paul and his beautiful family in your prayers.

American Idol Wannabe — Mary Roach hears voices in her head….none of which has the balls to tell her she can’t sing!  More American Idol Video Clips Here.

Prison Planet — I have been exchanging quite a few emails with an Electrical Engineer who works at a large University in Australia.  He is a very nice gentleman who feels that Shortarmguy is misguided by his support of President Bush and the US Government’s current foreign policy.  He says that he enjoys many things about the United States, but insists we’re being lied to by our government about our motives in Iraq and other parts of the world.  I can’t say that he’s shaken my belief system or anything like that, but he made some rather intriguing arguments.  He sent me this site which hosts a BBC video arguing that the Terrorist Threat is completely overblown.  I’ll reserve from making judgment on the content, but present it as an alternative view to ponder. 

Great Shot — Nothing like making a full court shot to win the game!!  Be sure to watch the video!

Drunk Walk —- Use your mouse to help the drunk walk home.  If only this worked in real life, I wouldn’t pass out in the street so much!

The Real Simpsons — How much fun would it be to have these guys at a party?

Stevie was fiction — Friend of Shortarmguy, Mark Shiro, pointed out that last week’s Email That Made Me Think The Most was in fact, a lie.  Oh well, it was still a sweet tale!

NASA TV — If you’re into SPACE Stuff, there’s no better channel to watch than NASA TV!  I watched live as the Huygens Probe landed on Saturn’s moon of Titan and then waited breathlessly for the first pictures to arrive.  It turned out to be quite lame….just a bunch of blurry, orange rocks.  I thought for sure there was going to be fricking monsters down there! 

Killer Whale and the Kayak — Well, Snopes ruins another internet fantasy for me!  I totally believed that last week’s Multimedia Clip of the week showing the Killer Whale jumping in the air and landing on the kayaker was real.  Turns out it was part of a Powerade commercial in Japan!!  But they also link to a trailer for a Killer Whale documentary which looks equally disturbing called Slave To Entertainment!

Celebrity Secrets — (Naughty Site Warning!)  This is a clever detective who reveals a bunch of Super-Secret Celebrity Secrets!

Sammy’s Lyrics and Tunes — This is a great site by a friend of Shortarmguy  which can be used like an online Karaoke machine!  My boys had to tell me to Be Quiet as I sang along to some old classics!

Are You My Mama? — No matter how bad the storm, there’s always a ray of sunshine that eventually shows up.

Michael Crichton — I just finished reading his great new book called State of Fear.  It totally rips up the theory of global warming.  I’m sure it’s not real popular with the John Kerry crowd, but I found it to be quite entertaining and informative.  This is a link to the forums on Crichton’s website where you can read what people are saying about it.

 Forklift Safety Video  — This link is from my friend, Doug!  It’s a bit gruesome and takes a little time to get going before you see why it’s intriguing.  It’s a parody of industrial safety films.  The title translates to “Forklift driver Klaus – the first day of work.”  If you don’t do German, that’s OK!  You’ll still know what’s going on soon enough.

Sweet Revenge — Ever had a girl cheat on you?  This is one way to deal with it…

Fun With A Feather  — This girl likes to be tickled!

Happy New Year — All right, I’m a bit late….but this is a cute site!!

Tsunami Videos —   This site hosts a large number of tsunami amateur home videos.  A friend of mine also hosted several here.  I never knew what a freaky thing a tidal wave was until I saw all the footage circulating the net showing the recent tragedy in Asia.  I guess I always assumed a person would be able to see it coming or be able to run away from it before it hit the shore.  These images really spooked me!  I can’t imagine I’ll ever go to the beach again without suspiciously watching the water!!  

NumaNuma — Another weirdo like Shortarmguy who sits alone in front of his web camera and sings his heart out!!

Nike Commercial — Great Video From Nike high-lighting why Just Doing It is so important!

I will put a new site on this page each week.  This will be a site that either made me laugh my butt off, twisted my mind, or inspired me in some way.  If I can’t find a site like this each week, the link will probably lead to a bunch of naked chicks!!
