Here are  a few links form around the Lou-net:

JoeSportsFan found a common thread for every headline about the new American League Cy Young, and no it they don’t all begin with “Who?!”

The Short Buzz found that video of me and my two friends performing in our “Hot Sunday” cover band.

The Beautiful Kind profiles porn-star Buck Angel.  Its really not safe for work, but if it is for you are you hiring?

Urban Review STL talks about yet another curb in St. Louis.

Girls Guide to the Galaxy has a post up about…I don’t know…vaginas probably.

1. FourSquare officially launched in St. Louis! (We told you…just sayin.)
2. Pujols freaked out the Cardinals with his comments on some crazy Dominican radio station.
3. The RFT took an idea off the table for us by exploring the W00t! offices.
4. Metro Link gives up and ask the rest of us for ideas.  Can’t get any worse I guess.
5. Bowling allies are freaking out about the smoking bans.  They think if we take away the smoke smell, the BO smell will get lonely.

Apparently visiting our fair city is foreign enough to people that someone had to write an article on eHow describing the steps to take.  Here is a sampling:

Difficulty: Easy

St. Louis is known as the gateway to the west and it was the first major settlement west of the Mississippi. St. Louis is home to three major league sports teams: MLB-Cardinals, NFL-Rams and NHL-Blues. St. Louis was home to the 1904 World’s Fair and is also home to many other attractions, and tourist attractions.

Step 4: Enjoy a cruise on the Mississippi River onboard either of two riverboats; the Becky Thatcher or the Tom Sawyer.

Step 6: Experience the thrill and excitement that is Six Flags theme park when you ride on on any of the adrenaline charged thrill rides and roller coasters.

Two things jump out at me here: 1. Is Six Flags isn’t much of a St. Louis attraction, I mean there are a bunch of them.  2. At what point can we stop talking about a fair that happened over 100 years ago?  Yes, it was a big deal at the time, but let. it. go.  We sound like the damn Cubs for christ sake!

Someone edit this and add something about reading Punching Kitty in step 7.  I would do it, but that wouldn’t be right.

The RiverFrontTimes’ DailyRFT has Jeff Smith’s resignation letter, plus about 300 other posts about Jeff Smith.

JoeSportsFan.com has video of my personal favorite Busch Stadium beer vendor showing how the pros announce what they are selling!

Who loves the bad economy?  Libraries of course!

Speaking of libraries, apparently you can masturbate in them!  Who knew?  Not me!  I mean there are some computers that I think are pretty covered so I mean its wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but…look, I mean who’s to say what constitutes masturbating anyway?

The PlayBack STL Music Festival line up was just announced. (via @philberger)

St. Louis Beacon discusses whether or not a jungle of of a South City backyard is Eden or an Eyesore. The video of the backyard is pretty awesome…we vote “Eden”!

Should the Cardinals move Pujols to third so we can put the hobbled Troy Glaus at first for the rest of the season?  Erik at Fan Graphs explores the idea.

Super Fun Patrol reviews Twilight

Wow. What a big, giant ball of suck the Twilight series is. Talk about taking everything that’s awesome about vampire stories and completely, utterly sucking that out (no puns meant here, so can it) and replacing it with teenage romance pap and dribble. This, my friends, is what happens when a Mormon woman enacts her private fantasies in print. Where would you even start in order to make such a shitpile better?

The Daily Jerome makes his own version of those retro Colt45 billboards.

This church has the most bitchin website EVER! (Psych!  It sucks…but it is funny.)

[Editor's Note: We are bringing back "psych."]

The Riverfront Times put together a Guide to All Star Weekend, including their St. Louis “map”  Don’t miss the section of where sports celebs live to get your stalk on.

Patrick Says tells the tale of how his paid blogging past cost him a laptop.  Is that irony?  You decide.

The discussion of the “Largest Tweetup Ever” continues on Simple Justice.

Mary Louise Parker gets a little naked for…does it matter?  I’ve always had a thing for her. (NSFW)

The best video of a repossession of a Delorean from an insane Michael Jackson fan you’ll see this week.

Here’s the way you should have been opening bananas your whole life. Sorry I made you feel stupid.

“Gary: Landlord of the Flies” is the best blog your aren’t reading.  Unlike Punching Kitty.com which is the best blog you are reading, but your friends aren’t.  Fix that today will ya?

STLog tried to find out what the deal is with the Cardinals and tickets to July’s All-Star Game.

Strohm says that those with Cardinals season tickets will have an opportunity to get seats, but the exact locations of those seats haven’t been determined. The club will contact season ticket holders in April with more details. 

Want to Remember 1986 live?  Hal Sparks is coming to the lou.

So is James Taylor and is tickets are pretty expensive for a guy I remember being on Sesame Street.

One last concert note: If you don’t already have Joel McHale tickets, you ain’t goin’!

Todd Jordan tells you about Goodreads.

Goodreads is more than just a place to chalk up all of the books you’ve read. It’s a place to share, be shared with, and to find out what your friends are reading and recommending.

Lastly, Super Fun Patrol laments the loss of Aqua Pizza.

Lisa Loeb got married.

Xena returns as a singing naughty school girl…what?!

Hey look, its Richard Grieco!

Here are some photos from The Tough Guy competition.  You’ve been warned dudes.

How the Mighty Putty commercial should have always been.

Yeah…this looks about right.

1. How much do you really like Obama?  I mean do  you really like him…like want him inside of you like him?  I have just the thing for you!  [NSFW]  Via Dan Jaboor  (Send your tips to tips@punchingkitty.com!)

2. Christian Gooden of STLToday.com needs someone to tell him that serial killers like looking at dead animals too.

3. Speaking of Serial Cereal Killers…This is the coolest mural of all time.  Via CityRag

4. Holy crap whoever sent this to the STL section of The Dirty.com went after some dude with both barrels!

“It was all I could do to keep from laughing when he took off his pants….luckily I was saved from the 1.5″ dagger by him prematurely blowing his load” 

“Gigantor Chin” on TheDirty.com

and finally…

5. The mayor is sick.  Who ever it is, stop forcing this man to blog.

Craig Mayhem of Super Fun Patrol is complaining about his glasses, the doctors, and the job they do in general and in the process he’s channeling Chris Rock.  

First of all, anyone who calls themselves a doctor, yet doesn’t fix your medical issue is a LIAR. They give you an appliance that you attach to your body and send you on your way, even though your problem isn’t really fixed.

“Hey doc, I broke my arm.”

“Really? Well, here’s a crappy version of an arm that you can attach to your shoulder and you can do arm things with it.”

“But what about my original arm?”

“You Lose! GOOD DAY, sir!”

Sure, there are some eye doctors who can laser your eyes and fix them. I’m not talking about those guys. Besides, the damn laser machine does the fixin’, Jedadiah – not the doctor.

You’re all SHAMS! SHAMS, I SAY!

Now watch this (NSFW, but funny stuff…classic Rock):

What does thing mean?  Nothing.  We just saw his post and it reminded us of that bit.
