Friday Night Links (9/11/2009)…
Hockey, radishes, paintings, and help with your grocery queuing skills. What more could you ask for? Nothing. Nothing I tell you.
- Fantasy Hockey Scouts – Perhaps the biggest advance in hockey was the introduction of High Definition Television. Finally, you could see all the action and not need that horrendous glowing puck. Slightly behind HDTV is the advent of Fantasy Hockey Scouts. From their lair deep in the heart of Canada, the FHSers spend their time combing statistics, making outrageous trade rumors, and cavorting with other fantasy hockey lovers. The result? You get the Breakout Bible which predicts the season’s big winners and you get the Scouting Report so you know who to pick in your draft. As FHS says, “You don’t have a copy yet? For your sake, we hope nobody in your league has picked one up.”
- Bigness Mushroom – Your next Mario Bros. themed party needs to have these tasty little nuggets. In a couple of seconds, you can produce power-up mushrooms that will have you whistling the Mario Bros. song all day long. As a bonus, check out this classic video (warning: sound).
- Paintings – They look like photographs, but these are actually paintings by some very talented artists. The most amazing one is the pepper shaker with the reflection of the guy “taking the picture” in it. Amazing.
- Grocery Store Not-So-Express Lanes – Well this story has math and stuff in it so it must be true. Kidding aside, this is pretty much in line with my experiences at the grocery store. However, once coupons or check writing are involved, all this math goes right out the window.
