More Random Links

A bunch of links that have been sitting here for a while (hmm…sounds like yesterday)…

I need to sleep. More tomorrow.

Random Links

Been getting behind on my link sharing, so here are a few older links of all sorts:

More later. I need to sleep.

New Year Clearing Out Random Link Dump

To ring in the New Year and to start anew, here are the links that I’ve just had sitting here for a long while in various places around my hard drive. These are totally random, some fun, some interesting, some funny, some just downright scary, but should keep you entertained for a bit.

(And before I post all these, I wanted to wish everybody a happy and safe new year. Welcome ot 2008, everybody, and feel free to share your resolutions below.)

Links below and videos after the jump.

Random Link Dump

Still recovering from my aforementioned cold and totally bogged down in a backlog of links (Newsgator needs to implement the Feeddemon panic button in Newsgator Inbox). So here are some random links of all varieties that have been sitting here for a while.

Cripes, that’s enough for now. I’m going to bed.

Random Human Facts

Research has shown taller people are smarter, and age 34 is the most expensive age. But what if you’re tall and 34, does that mean you’ll be smart enough to not spend so much money? Or does it just mean you’ll be smarter with it?

Does Anybody Need A Crapload of Girl Scout Cookies?

First off, I know that you’re not allowed to sell Girl Scout Cookies over the Internet, but that’s only if you’re actually selling on behalf of the Girl Scouts and you’re associated with them, and I’m neither — I’ll be putting you in touch with the man who is (who will remain nameless, as I don’t want to get the dude in trouble).

But here’s the deal: A buddy of mine here in Bend is getting screwed by the Girl Scouts. The troop he and his wife are involved in took on a bunch of extra cookies for booth sales (an estimated number). Last year they let you return unwanted and extras, but apparently this year (which was a surprise to them and bunch of phone calls hasn’t helped), they wouldn’t take them back. So they’re stuck with over $1000 of Girl Scout cookies.

As it stands right now, he has the following (and each case of cookies is 12 boxes) Update: Total that’s left has been updated as of 5/1:

  • Thin Mints (my wife’s favorite and I’ve got a box on order): 14 About 4 Cases
  • Samoas (my personal favorite and I’ve got a box on order): 7 <1 Case
  • Tagalongs: 4 2 Cases
  • Allabouts: 1 case 2 boxes

They usually sell for $4.00/box, but he’s selling them for $3.50/box or $40 for an entire case ($3.33/box). He’ll deliver anywhere in Bend, or ship if you PayPal him shipping.

If you’re interested, contact me, comment here with a valid e-mail address and I’ll put you in touch. You can also email [email protected] and that redirects to his e-mail account.

He needs to liquidate as much as possible as soon as possible, as the deadline to pay this off is coming up fast.

For The Ladies, During That Time Of The Month

A fairly comprehensive review and comparison of feminine hygiene products (don’t worry, no graphic pictures, just scientific experimentation).

Does Hallmark Make Cards For This?

It’s national Talk Like A Pirate Day, matey.

Don’t Touch A Designers Screen

This is a huge pet peeve of mine, especially since I have an easy-to-scratch LCD screen.

Update: This time with a working link. Copy/paste is NOT my friend today.

Boing Boing Link Dump

You know, I just looked through all my flagged links in FeedDemon for my BoingBoing feed, and while many of them are full-entry worthy, I just might dump them (with links to the BoingBoing original post) here to give you something to do and read for quite a while.

That should keep you guys busy for a while.
