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)

Only Two More Days Left of Election Coverage, I Promise!

MelBivDevoe

Good morning!  Today's first link provided us with that funny sign to the left.  Here are 17 more smart-ass signs for your viewing pleasure.  (Pleated Jeans)

Dude.  Disney is planning a sequel to "Boy Meets World"!  I loved that show.  I hope this means we'll get to see whatever became of Eric.  (The Gloss)

Ellen DeGeneres called out undecided voters on a recent episode of her show.  Look, I understand being indecisive sometimes - I tend to waffle when it comes to choosing, say, what to have for dinner - but how on Earth can people STILL not know who they're voting for?!?  (Crushable)

Even if you're sick of election coverage (and who isn't?), you'll agree that this is great news.  (AV Club)

Just a Figment of My Imagination

MelBivDevoe

The latest casting news for the all-female version of "The Expendables" is pretty darn good, y'all.  When I think of kickass ladies, this actress definitely comes to mind.  (The Mary Sue)

First, there was "Dancing With the Stars."  Then came "Skating With the Stars."  Now, ABC is bringing us "Celebrity Splash, " aka "Diving With the Stars."  Maybe it's just me, but that honestly sounds terrible.  (Hollywood Reporter)

The Queen is Not Amused, But the Internet Definitely Is

MelBivDevoe

Good morning!  Been keeping up with the Olympics this weekend after Friday's nice but slightly underwhelming Opening Ceremonies?  Bleacher Report has a nice round-up of what you've been missing on this side of the pond.  (Note: Their reporting is up-to-the-minute from London, so if you don't want to be spoiled don't click other stories - this one is from Sunday, so you'll be safe!)

My favorite thing from the Olympics so far?  The "Unimpressed Queen Elizabeth" meme.  I like the Queen, and I'd like to imagine she finds these images funny, too.  (Uproxx)

HULK LINK! HULK SMASH!

I found this Cracked list to be more than funny. I found it to be adorable while also making me feel like I haven't really made my obsessions work for me. I'm still not married to John Krasinski, if you'll notice! (Cracked)

Of course there is a site dedicated to old school gaming trivia! If you think you're a hardcore gamer of the days of yore, think again. (Did You Know Gaming via Neatorama)

By now you have probably seen the touching farewell given to Kristen Wiig by Saturday Night Live. It was really sweet! Here are the Top 5 SNL Departures. (BuzzFeed)

I never really stop to think about the types of things that are fossilized. I always thought only bones and the occasional mosquito trapped in amber were the only things found while digging for fossils. So an ink sac? With soft ink still instead? That blows my little mind with awesome. (National Geographic)

Happy International Woman's Day! May your uterus remain unregulated and may Rush Limbaugh awake to find himself turned into a pregnant, poor woman!

I gave up soda (aka pop) for Lent. It's been tough finding a way to stay awake all day long. Luckily, it seems that my habit of drinking an afternoon coffee is good for weight loss and staying awake! (Gizmodo)

Woooo! Just finished some coffee and now I'm stretching from the workout. 50 cups are needed, you say? DAMMIT. I'll just console myself by buying some of these Captain America movie props. (io9)

I want that Rebirth Pod. It would look amazing in the guest room/office. I now clumsily segue from Rebirth Pod to birth control pills. What's that? Women that use birth control earn more money? And not as prostitutes?!? (The New York Times)

Let's take a look at something genius and disturbing: Toy Story characters in scenes from The Shining. That creepy baby doll is some bullshit. (Kyle Lambert)

Oscars, Cosplay, Pepsi, and MAGIC!

Kolby and Pinky

Happy Monday, dearies.  I hope you're enjoying your Oscars hangover.  I wonder how many Academy Awards-related links I can jam in today.  Let's see!

To start us off, here's E!'s recap of the night's winners, losers and unexpected moments.  (E! Online)

I'm positively tickled by Eric Wilson's cranky take on last night's red carpet fashion, and especially by his opinion of Rooney Mara, whose entire look generally bewilders me.  (The New York Times)

How did you meet your significant other?  One Redditor (in the comments) has a story that might make your day.  (Reddit)

We all know it's important to apologize when we've done something wrong, but how well does "I'm sorry: really work?  (Live Science)

Just when I think I've given too much consideration to the many MANY flaws in the Star Wars Saga, I read an ingenius post like this, and I realize I haven't given it much consideration after all.  Score!  (Absolutely No Machete Juggling)

Thursday - The Day After The Day Revenge Is On

Kolby

Did you watch Revenge last night?  So many tuxedos, so much bitchface.  It was bloody fantastic.  All I've got to say is long live Joshie - yes, we're that close - Bowman.  Link time!

Ooooh, that new car smell is to die for (sometimes literally)!  (BottomLine)

So, you've never seen the original Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope, in case my geek cred was questioned)?  Well, you can either watch the movie, or get the gist of it with this cool inforgraphic.  (io9)

If Today's Not Donald Glover Day, It Should Be

Kolby

Happy Hump Day, my little worker bees.  Only two more days of axe grinding before the weekend.  You can almost smell the promise of lazy from here.  Enjoy today's hot links on breaks from watching the clock!

Hey, maybe those kooky Mayans were correct after wall.  Here are 12 Ways the World Could End in 2012.  (Popular Mechanics)

Today's lucky number must be twelve, because that's how many drinks Starbucks has on their secret menu.  Your wallet will be so pleased.  (Chime.In)

If you've ever spent days or weeks agonizing over each year's Grammy nominations, attempting to predict the winners, well....well, you're probably in need of more help than this little chart can provide.  Godspeed to you.  (Esquire)

Wait, Demi Moore's seizure is allegedly related to her doing whip its? What is she, 20 years old? (Gawker)

I haven't been to Las Vegas since I got married there in 2005. We still plan to return for a more leisurely, child-free week. Perhaps we can check out some of the spots in this article. (GQ)

I haven't been able to enjoy the Second Coming (heh heh, coming..) of Beavis and Butthead, as I don't have cable or satellite right now. LAME. Makeup effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick clearly likes them too, since he made these real-life bust-mask hybrids of them. Butthead totally looks like a kid I went to school with.(reddit) 

After that, here's something a lot less terrifying. Which company is this: The company argues that it's hard to hire the best people in the world when the state where it's based discriminates against them. (The Atlantic)

Here's another piece that blames the entertainment industry for people choosing to pirate movies. What do you think? (GIGAOM)

Now wrap your head around this: Russia was spied on...by a rock. I shit you not. (Canada.com)

Hot Links: The ONE and ONLY time you'll ever see the words "Hanson" and "Orgasm" on the same page.

An orgasm has now been imaged in 3D video in the brain as it happens - and for possibly the first time in the history of science, women came first (full disclosure: I didn't write that - Time did, and holy macaroni, it was so kickass I grabbed it). (Time Healthland)

I was terrified of the Muppet Animal when I was younger. This might make the nightmares return.

Ah, to have so much money that I could buy something as stupid as this $1.1 million dollar breakfast plate.
