Big Mac vs. Big Carl

It’s been a slow news season. Anything interesting enough to talk about gets fucked apart pretty quickly by the major news networks and by the time I get a chance to crack wise about it all the good one-liners have been taken. I’m probably guilty of setting my Obama bar too high and am still waiting on some huge news before I even address his presidency. That basically leaves me to discuss insignificant points. That being said:

Ultimate Timewaste.

I’ve unleashed horrible timesinks on people before. Tetris on family, Worms on friends, even just leaving interlocking metal ring puzzles. For you guys though I deliver a blogroll filled with the quicksand pits of the internet. BEWARE!

• FAIL Blog
• CakeWrecks
• Awkward Family Photos
• Awkward Boners
• There I Fixed It!
• Pwned on Camera
• Photoshop Disasters
• Cute Overload
• Look At This Fucking Hipster
• The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks
• Passive Aggressive Notes
• Ugly Outfits New York
• Found Magazine
• Engrish Funny

I thought about going through and giving a description of each, but it’s not really necessary. Click the scroll wheel on each link to open each one in a new tab, and then proceed to favorite and subscribe to all of them. You now have lost an hour of your life every day. You’re welcome.

Hype Man.

A house band, theme music, and eventually a hype man. That’s when I’ll know I’ve hit it big, when I get my own hype man. Just in case you don’t know what a hype man is think of someones entourage. It’s full of followers, associates, and attendants. Everyone is either a friend, a business partner, or has a specific job. The hype man’s job is one of the most multi-faceted in the crew.

Twitter.

Yeah, I’m tying twitter up into the TikiMexican blog. Any other late adopters feel like jumping on board?

Passive Aggressive Notes.

I noticed that people chomp at the bit to correct other people’s signs. I admit doing it too. The picture is an example of me correcting some jerk who left a note by being another jerk to leave a mean note. It’s fun, anonymous, and embraces being cynical and polite. Two things I’m great at! Photo in the read more, sorry it’s a long one.

CarollaRadio.

I have never been too big of a fan of Adam Carolla’s. I knew he was one of the guys from love-line when it was only a radio show, and I heard his name often enough to know that he was getting to be more and more successful. Although, I never really tried to listen to his show or any of his appearances. Recently though I took a road trip with a pal and he loaded up a few episodes of Carolla’s latest podcast and I was intrigued.

Life imitating art imitating life.

Photofunia.

Time for a nice long rest. If you’re like me you’ve just finished up with enough responsibilities to kick your feet up and start downing some beverages ending in -tini or -rita. In the spirit of relaxing and time wasting, go check out photofunia. All you do is select an effect, upload your image and then voila! Tinypic any good ones and let us know in the comments.

Been Busy.

Sorry for the lack of newer posts. I’ve been pretty busy. Everything should be back to normal soon though. 

On a side note, the new campaign will be played out IRL.

Thanks for the traffic.

For people who’ve made a habit of showing up thank you. I sincerely (sincuurhly) appreciate you showing up to read this shit, really. For the others who are only victims of my new campaign to trick people into giving me more page views and please click the banner to read more posts. Thanks for the traffic!

Update: Wow. This shit is working so well. If you want to jump in on some of this fun use this bit of HTML in some comments to bring people in: <a href=”https://tikimexican.wordpress.com/2009/03/09/thanks-for-the-traffic/”>REPLACE THIS TEXT</a>

Also I started jamming up forums by faking a spoiler tag for a URL. If you’re on a forum that uses BBCode you can use: [url=https://tikimexican.wordpress.com/2009/03/09/thanks-for-the-traffic/][b]SPOILER[/b][/url]. Actually I created what I like to call the spoiler game. It’s a lot of BBCode but it’s pretty much a minefield with one real Spoiler tag and the rest just being these fake links. I really just want to see how many people I can roll in here.  

Thanks for being good sports everybody!
