Super-small links of the week

Editor’s note: Sign of the times, folks. Sue me for the short links.

In case you missed this supremely dirty hit from the Panthers/Bucs game on Sunday.

This is a fun “bash Ohio State” shirt.

Jenna Fischer in a bikini? Yes please. (NSFW, and the Internet tells me this might not even be her body…)

Quagmire, is that you?

At BG, Urban Meyer didn’t go as far as not talking to the student paper, but he may as well have.

Fake AP stylebook. I like it.

Let me get this straight: Because The New York Times and Washington Post and others aren’t covering things like the Acorn scandal, Fox News is not a legitimate news organization? What am I missing here?

Villanova men's hoops coach Jay Wright: The Big East schedule is like the Bataan Death March. Can't say stuff like that.

Triumphant return of the links

Editor's note: Since I failed to post these last week, some may be old. Sue me.

Little Debbies rule.

In case you’re not following Stevie Wonder on Twitter.

I might have to read this tell-all book by a John Edwards aide, right? Edwards is a supreme slimeball.

Are these pictures NFL headshots or mugshots?

Dear non-Ohio State alums who LOVE the Buckeyes: You’re phonies.

Your $153 million man, Miguel Cabrera!

David Letterman: slimeball, and since CBS cleared the Internet of him telling his audience about the extortion last week, I’ll describe it. It was creepy. And disgusting.

I get the impression this reporter wants us to feel badly for the family involved in this “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” story. I don’t, really.

Awesome band name: Daddy’s Gonna Kill Ralphie.

Sad story of a former NFLer dying alone.

This is not good. Fried squirrels, plus a really bad illustration.

That’s a big dog.

Well, this is one way to break up.

OMG: Car crashes. Dog thrown. Woman finds dog, thinks family died. Family's alive. Reunion. Family, due to costs, has to move somewhere where dogs aren't allowed. Ugh.

I'm shocked, I tell you, by the top two on this list.

Everything's a fight, clotheslines included.

Whether it’s the economy or something else, this is pretty cool and somewhat surprising: The U.S. military is seeing record enrollment.

$3K bonus? Nice.

Great headline: Police nab man dressed as ninja, waving nunchucks.

Linkage

Be careful on college campuses, folks.

Fact-checking Michael Moore’s new movie.

Great freaking catch. … Or was it a catch?

George Kokinis has some cash.

College grads’ starting salaries dip. I’m shocked.

Love this, from Delonte West: "Once the details come out surrounding the situation, it's not as big as some are making it.” He’s probably right. There has to be a really good explanation for being strapped with three guns on a motorcycle. Has to be.

This’ll make you want to vomit.

Pat Forde was in BG last weekend. Darnit.

I realize all boxers talk tough, but this doesn’t sound good.

I don’t know enough about this to know either way, but the evidence seems to be pretty damning: tipping pitches?

So this stuff with Letterman is crazy, right?

Silver widens lead as top auto color. Natch.

There’s a reason planes don’t look like they did in 1905 anymore, folks.

If you have an extra $5K laying around, and want to beat a deer to death, please, feel free.

Links o' the week

Journalism and manufacturing, on the same plane as far as job losses go. Which is to say: not good.

Dimitri is a man. (A must-listen.)

NFL players mentor the Lions.

Don’t ask me why I found this, but here’s a dog eating corn on the cob.

Terrible column, but I love the tagline at the end. Ya think?!

Hopefully this doesn’t happen on Thanksgiving.

Low office morale? Wouldn’t know anything about that.

The good part about having a Great Dane: No changing water.

Good grief: Cat duct-taped.

$10,000 for a player’s first home run ball? Ouch.

Crazy story about Bowling Green domestic violence.

Links o' the week

Boo!!!! (Bad pun headline)

Want to own a business? Here’s a pretty simple way to do it.

That’s a lot of pot.

Making money by blogging? Yes.

Why I love college newspapers: “Public urination can have a stream of consequences.”

Major upset: Journalism is not on this “five lowest-paying majors” list.

Patrick Swayze + Kanye West: Gold.

Orange County Register columnists swings and misses, and The Onion chimes in.

Adam Schefter chokes live on ESPN. Darn funny.

My new favorite college football player. (Real name: Shaunteryous.)

Buckeye fans, best in the land.

Kanye is a jackass, yes. But so is someone else … Speaking of, go ACORN!

Kentucky man: “I didn’t throw dog off bridge.”

These Facebook moments can’t be real, can they?

Well, he kept ringing the bell!

Elsewhere ...

And, of course, my NFL picks.

Next on the agenda: An NFL, college football or college basketball road trip. (Wall Street Journal)

The Washington Post clearly liked what Crain’s did with its blogs, so it copied.

Classy: “Women who found dog sue for reward.” (Columbus Dispatch)

Man’s arm caught in meat grinder. Ick. (Canton Repository)

I trust you’re following “Shit my dad says” on Twitter?

I blame the democrats. (Lake County News-Herald)

An $850 million stadium is falling apart. (New York Post)
