Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 8/12/11
Buckle up, because the adults are out of the office right now and I have lots of finger energy. I am not kidding.
So. I learned something today.
The actual, serious, legally-binding, no-BS term for removing a heir from one’s will is called: cutting heirs. Can you believe that?
Well, you shouldn’t. This is an outright lie and frankly a flimsy way to set up an awful pun. The author (meaning: me), has been sacked by his self-sacking machine, a device designed for the rueful day when the author (meaning: me) and designer (also me) knew he would fail to be creative and resort to blatantly bush-league humor tactics. I would go on, mainly along some vague and variable lines of apology to the reader (meaning: you), but the sacking machine his here, and, well, night falls. See you.
So what else? Today’s a Chef Surprise of topics, mainly because I’ve been sitting in a corner with a sharp axe muttering to myself all week because I’ve been having a hard time thinking of Friday topics. The stress these posts inflict on me is maddening. Write one post about a single topic this week? Pretty much impossible. So to you, our readers, I either apologize or offer my hand in high-fiveitude, because you may just dig the randomness of today’s post. Maybe you’re all, “I’m don’t always read nonsensical blog posts, but when I do, I choose MIPRO’s Friday Linkology posts. Stay random, my friends.”
No? Okay. It was worth a shot.
Oh, yeah: this picture makes me laugh like I’ve been huffing nitrous.
In a complete non-sequitur, I also imagine driving a 650 HP missile over standing water, slush and mud isn’t the easiest thing to do.
I just got done reading Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom. Great read. It’s a book about living in modern times. I think there were nouns involved. I suggest you pick it up and let the reading ponies trample your mind into the great eternal schwa. Any summer book less than 550 pages is babytown frolics.
Speaking of beautiful things, here’s an essay on 25ers. Don’t know what a 25er is? You’re lucky if you have one, amazingly lucky if you have more.
Behold the indisputable funniest video in the world.
One sorta last thing: let me know if you like these erratic, I-can’t-think-of-a-topic posts or the more coherent ones in which I am required to think about a topic, but have been unable to do lately. I hope I didn’t lead the witness too much with my phrasing.
Oh, what’s that you say? Where are the links I normally put at the end of every Friday Linkology? Go re-read today’s post. See what I did there? Clever, huh?
Finally, in an effort to make this trainwreck of a post more redeeming to you, the patient reader, here is a picture of a stapler:
Have a good weekend, everyone.
