Monday... What a Bastard!

MelBivDevoe

Sure, people can be bastards.  You know what else can be a real bastard?  Shelling out $5 bucks a day (or more) to feed your iced coffee habit.  I'm not gonna tell you to cut back on the caffeine - instead, why not try making your own iced coffee at home?  Don't worry, this blogger has even done the math for you!  (Hostess With The Motzes)

Well, this is sh*tty.  "Glee," that trainwreck of a Fox show that just keeps going and going, ripped off Jonathan Coulton's bluegrass cover of "Baby Got Back" - and then put it up for sale on iTunes.  (Wired)
But wait!  You can help Coulton stick it to them by buying his cover of their cover of his cover (whew!) on iTunes - and all of his proceeds will go to charity!  (Geekosystem)

TLC's "My Strange Addiction" has hit a weird new low.  Uh, slightly squicky footage ahead.  And yes, I realize this woman probably suffers from Pica.    (BuzzFeed)

Need a chaser?  Here you go.  (Cute Overload)

I'm Back on the Chain, Gang

(Chain, links, get it?  I slay me!)

Good morning!  How about those Golden Globes last night?  Weren't they amazing/boring/so-so?  (Full disclosure:  I'm writing this at 7pm Sunday night because I don't want to blog and drink at the same time.  It won't end well.)

Another day, another fantastic tumblr to share.  This one mashes the gorgeous poetry of Pablo Neruda with images of adorable cats.  (Neruda Cats)

So the 2013 Miss America pageant took place on Saturday.  All I know is, they fed the losers doughnuts.  Yup.  Makes sense - sugary fried dough masks the salty taste of one's tears oh so well.  (The Gloss)

It's What The F*$k Tuesday, Everyone!

Twinkies have been used in the classroom for science experiments. Did you know that they won't burn unless you dry them out first and then soak them in alcohol? (NY Times)

What the hell did I just read? French town is prophesied to be the only place unaffected by the already debunked end of the world on December 21, 2012. Wat? (The Guardian) 

I guess today is going to be filled with WTF?!?! Cracking a 250 year old code to find an ancient secret society of...oculists? (Wired)

Then we have the story of a guy that wasn't sure if he had killed someone, so he charged himself with murder. (NYMag)

I'll Send an SOS to the World...

In April, a man in the Shetland Islands found a message in a bottle that has recently been certified as the oldest one ever found.  It spent 98 years floating before it was pulled from the sea.  Have you ever found and/or responded to a message in a bottle?  (National Geographic)

Well, this is certainly another way to send a message.  A woman in New Zealand, recently divorced, sent her wedding ring into space on a homemade rocket.  Definitely more poetic than simply pawning the ring.  (io9)

This charming video comes to us via KatSings.  There's something for everyone here, whether you're a fan of Sesame Street, Doctor Who, the Avengers, Newsroom, the Hunger Games, or just enjoy a catchy tune.  (EW)

T. Rex.  High.  Heels.  YES.  I wish there were more details available about these shoes, like who made them and how can I buy them??  (The Gloss)

Bill Murray is My Spirit Guide

Good morning!  Some days, you wake up and think, eh, I'm just not feeling it today.  That's me today.  So, let's ease into things, shall we?

How about the most adorable photo of a baby gorilla ever to get us started?  Man, that stethoscope must've been cold, look at that expression!  I just want to smush his widdle face!  (Buzzfeed)

Here's a gallery of the stars who have stopped by Sesame Street over the years.  Man, I loved Lily Tomlin's Edith Ann when I was little! (EW)

Josh Hutcherson, best known as Peeta from "The Hunger Games," is auctioning off the chance for five lucky winners to have dinner with him.  Proceeds from the auction will benefit a paralyzed young woman who attended his alma mater.  Forget the gorilla, I want to smush Josh's cute widdle face!  I would totally enter that contest myself, but it might be weird if a 29 year old woman showed up to dinner and just gawked at him all night.  (Crushable)

The Links Are All Over The Place. Like Your Mom. BOOM!

I don't know about you, but I tend to bake a lot during holidays. Not President's Day, but big holidays. Like Grandparents Day. Anyway, this is a million dollar idea for sure. (iMGUR)

Speaking of a million dollars, that's what I'd pay to be able to make my hair look pretty like this. (The Beauty Department)

Do you have the Facebook Timeline? Are you also seeing comments disappear, your feed filled with recent and week-old crap even thought you clicked Most Recent? The second question has nothing to do with this. But it is pissing me off. AHEM. Behold! A way to bring back the simpler Facebook profile! (Lifehacker)

Hot Links: Totally Inappropriate.

High school. Incest. Prank. These are three words I never again want to see near each other. EVER. (Gawker)

I updated my Facebook profile to the new Timeline, and my eyes may never recover.  Don't think it won't happen to you, too, when everyone's profile will automatically update to the new version on the 22nd.  If you'd like to stay (slightly) ahead of the game, update now.  Here's how.   (Mashable)

We always think about new, healthier, more productive things that we'd like to do after the New Year, but have we ever thought about the sheer number of things that we should STOP doing in order to improve our lives?  (Mark and Angel Hack Life)

A handful of anonymous donors have brought the meaning of Christmas to life by paying off the layaway balances of struggling strangers.  Have your tissues ready for this one.  (Yahoo Finance)

Put down the antifreeze! Good Magazine has a cocktail that's sure to calm even the most distraught Community fan - the Six Seasons and a Movie. (Good)

TIME Magazine has unveiled their 2011 Person of the Year, and it's "The Protestor." I'm pretty sure they're referencing me with their choice, and that time I staged a sit-in outside the Pearl Street Ben & Jerry's after they ran out of Oatmeal Cookie ice cream. (TIME)

Gawker's put together a list of creepy Christmas carols sure to warm even the Grinchiest of hearts. But, no, seriously, listen at your own risk. And maybe with the lights on. (Gawker)

Hot Links: No More Crying Over Spilled Milk!

Sugarbelle makes Star Wars cookies using holiday cookie cutters. Adorkable!

Have you ever wished for waterproof clothing? Wish no more, Gizmodo shows us the superhydrophobic coating in action!

I have loved Peter Dinklage ever since he blew me away in The Station Agent. He is definitely amazing in A Game of Thrones, though Tyrion himself doesn't consider the work to be fantasy.
