Links of the Week: Edition 1
As promised, the inaugural edition of “Links of the Week”, making me only the 5,436th blogger to come up with this idea. If you have any links you think should be in next week’s edition, by all means drop them my way.

You’ve probably all seen this by now, by Will Ferrell’s short, "The Landlord", is worth watching again. And again. Until you feel the need, like Pearl, to get your drink on.
On Sunday, I’ll be seeing these guys live. Cannot. Freakin’. Wait. (I can’t believe this lead singer grows an afro that would make Earth, Wind, AND Fire blush, and yet I went essentially bald at 26. Bloody hell.)
I came across the latest edition of “Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno”, because, well, MTV is apparently legally mandated to show it every hour on the hour. I can’t be bothered to watch the show itself, but the opening is either the best thing I’ve ever seen or the most horrifying thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t find a clip of JUST the opening, but click here and fast forward for about a minute: it’s worth it.
Amy Winehouse is coming to town in a few weeks. I didn’t want to ask The Girl to go with me to see her, as I don’t see how her watching me drool over Ms. Winehouse could possibly end well, but I didn’t want to flat out not ask her, either. Turns out, she’s away that night. Problem solved. Course, when she reads this, she might come after me with a steak knife, and I’ll be backed into a corner saying, “No, no, no.”
In honor of Dice-K pitching tonight in Yankee Stadium, a semi-old but definitely goodie from “The Onion”. I agree that his “Two-Seam Shadow-Strike Clouded-Eye Shinobi Sinker” is easily his best pitch.
On Saturday, I’ll perform a now yearly ritual: watching the NFL Draft with my dad and brother. Last year we watched the draft at the Patriots’ home stadium, which was amazing, except for the part where the Patriot Cheerleaders showed up and my dad chastized his sons for being afraid to get their autographs lest our respect women kick our respective asses upon arrived home. This year we’ll be grilling and drinking at my brother’s place. I don’t pretend to know anything about the draft past, say, the first few picks. Then again, looks like ESPN doesn’t know as much as it pretends to know, either. Oops.

The Pats. Randy Moss. Wow. Y'all are going for "powerhouse team," aren't y'all!
In the meantime, the Bears once again managed to suck at the draft almost as much as they sucked in the Super Bowl. Why oh why couldn't we have gotten Brady Quinn????

the inferno thing is absolutley ridiculous. Next year they'll have them jump off buildings and turn into scud missles or something. I personally would turn into an ACME anvil and drop on my opponents head.
