links on friday

Sorry team, I know this is turning into a kind of links-only site – more stupidity soon, I promise
– Remember Cullen bungling a try by not forcing it properly a few years ago? That’s nothing
– I’d like to thank… SHIT! – it’s not over till you’re in the clubhouse drinking and worrying if your feet smell, as this guy finds out in a hurry
– Inky on the All Black coaching dilemma – it’s all academic now that Ted’s back in. Inky’s way smart though, you should read him, not me
– Some people say Footballers feign injury to con free kicks – and they’re right. Miraculous recovery here

Links on Friday

– Cartman introduces the University of Colorado starting line up – this is great. There ought to be more obnoxious cartoons introducing teams. We DO have Stu Wilson, I suppose
– Grandstand fight – Super smooth Des Lynham carries on like a pro despite handbags ensuing in the background
– Shortest hockey fight ever? – some very swift work there. There’s been a lot of fighting in me links lately
– The erotic appeal of a Land’s End catalouge – this is just really well written. Heh

Links on Friday (on Sunday)

– I miss Soccer AM – Saturdays just aren’t the same without a soul-sapping hangover and football related hilarity – check these out.
– The more I think about it, Ajax may be my ‘other’ team. Cruyff. Van Basten. Nice football. Cool kit. Dutch. Stuff like this. What’s not to like?
– A Dan Carter conversion straight out of Sensing Murder
– I’m listening to CCR lately. If you haven’t heard Ramble Tamble. Have a listen, it’s the most rockin’ song of all time, don’t you know.

Links on Friday

– Manchester City News – the more I watch this, the more hilarious it becomes. And the more I worry about my lack of humour development since age 12
– Sportsfreak on Michael Hussey – they’re right, you know, he’s boring his way into history
– Stephen Fry’s Dork Talk – everyone’s fav foppish wordsmith is a Mac guy, and he’s writing a gadget review column for the Guardian. Who would have thought?
– Norman Mailer fight – here’s a bizarre scene from his improvisational movie Maidstone where Rip Torn decides to take artistic direction into his own hands. Mailer died this week

Links on Friday

– The best sporting interview ever – Martin Brundle with Kimi Raikkonen. Jerry Collins would’ve just done it on the grid
– Kevin Pieterson reverse sweeps Murali for six – says it all really – what a blow
– Wired’s saddest cubicle competition ‘winners’ – makes my paper-and-dirty-dishes covered mess look like a little slice of heaven. It’s still bloody scary turning my keyboard upside down, though
– Friday 13th through the years – I’ve not seen much after about #5. Actually all my Friday 13th experiences have been on VHS, I think

Links On Friday (on Sunday)

Sorry, team – blog motivation is low at the moment. I’ve got a good mind to get my other one going again…
– The best 5-a-side goal ever – bloody hell, that’s some skill. The ‘keeper has no idea whatsoever, and looks like Mike Gatting facing the ball of the century
– Chuck Klosterman on the NBA – not my favorite sport, but one of my favourite writers
– Hostel’s Eli Roth’s 24 hours of Horror – does anyone want to do this?
– That One Bob Guy And Why He Can Go Fuck Himself – I love this

Links on Friday

– Fido trailer – a Zombie in every home. WHEN does this come out in NZ?
– Denis Leary gives Mel Gibson a verbal beatdown – nice. Poor old Mad Max, first the Malibu mansion, now this
– The prince of own goals – This is magic. This is still my favourite own goal ever, though, just ‘cos it’s Arsenal, and a member of George Graham’s back four.
– Ryan Giggs, 7 gives his first TV interview – his media minder is Alex Ferguson, 16

Links on Friday

– The Back Up – Yes, this would be great for a boring old home invasion, but in the event of an infestation of reanimated corpses… THAT’s when this little beauty would come into its own
– Here’s the video of that guy speeding through Paris in a Ferrari 275 – Wicked. As always, Wikipedia has the full story
– Modern day Cannonball Run – they’ve got a lot more gadgets and a lot less moustache than ol’ Burt and the gang
– Zombo.com – shut down the internet, NO site is going to top this one (needs sound)

Links on Friday

– Sebastian Chabal steals a dog’s lunch – magic. Why is the dog called ‘Springboks’ though?
– Golf has a new hero – check out Woody Austin as he bends his putter on his head in frustration. I’ve done that with a keyboard a few times, alright. Bonus – Woody Austin falls in the water. Nice one, bruv
– Top 50 football kits – I want one of them Dukla Prague kits and all
– Matt le Tissier free kick – cool as you like

Links on Friday
