Wal-Mart's women have reason for showing boobies

It seems the Women of WalMart didn't just get their tats out for any old reason - it seems they may have had to rely on food stamps to supplement a low income. I'm sure the money from Playboy came in handy.

California paid out $86m in assistance to WalMart employees in 2001 because their wages were so low and needed assistance in the form of food stamps and health related expenses. The study was based on data from that year but as WalMart wage increases haven't matched inflation levels the report reckons it will be even worse now.

So the next time you slap your arse in Asda's with a self satisfied grin spare a thought for their employees - they might be talking to Razzle right now.

Sidebar update

I'm going to update the linkage in the sidebar soon to put some of the linkdump sites in that hve been referring to us. Some of them are pretty good.

Anyhoo - if anyone wants owt sticking in the sidebar shout out. Preferably a good source of linkage trawling but if it's a good blog or whatever they can go in too.

Where in the world...


was ILuvNUFC today?

Links a plenty

Let me start by saying RIP Dogs. You went out in style.

A public toilet in Switzerland is made entirely out of one way glass. No one can see in but the person having the dump can see all around them. Urban Legends Reference Pages: Photo Gallery (See-Through Loo)

Star Wars game. Red 5 going in!

Dodgy car insurance claims. With a couple of cool pictures.

Aeroplane crash videos. Spotted this a while back.Thought i would wait until Bungers and Merg returned home.

Later chaps

The web is full of thieving twunts!

Someone's nicked one of our posts word for word and stuck it on their site. Cheeky fsckers! Probably.

Normal service is resumed...

I've given up trying to use reason with the dimwit Dogs and need something else to fill all that spare time saved. And here is something almost as pointless as arguing with Dogs and will almost fill up the time I have spared by not continuing to argue bicker with him.

Wrapped or left open...?

Uh-oh! Looks like we might have our very own "Nantucket Blob" headed this way!

Subservient President

Tired of ordering a chicken to do stupid things? If so how would you like to order a fsck witted ape around for a change? Well now's your chance to tell the ChimpMeister what to do with the Subservient President. I reckon next in the series will be Subservient Poodle.

Bunger's New Feature

Seeing as you got no "Fungus of the Month™" last month, I thought I'd "upgrade your package" to include "Woman Women of the Month™". It's a New Links New Feature®!

So, for August, here are the Teles sisters. Just if you were wondering what the talent looked like on my world travels....

Google Search: "sarah and deisi teles".

For obvious reasons, this is probs NSFW. Click on the links at your discretion, and if you find any good pics, post the link in the comments field!!

Hit whoring, Bungers style-e!

I kind of feel sorry for you guys, what with not having me around for a month, so here's some interesting garbage from around the world...

mmmmmLet's start with Seeing as mmChronic posted the ANS story before me, and seeing as it's taken me ages to type this shizzle out here's more pictures of Anna Nicole Smith falling out of her dress "having a wardrobe malfunction". Ooopers!

More coverage, and video of G-Phoria can be found here.

Also in the news this week, Rio Introduces 1st Challenge to iPod Mini.

The Rio Carbon, shaped like a slim wedge and weighing 3.2 ounces, uses Seagate Technology's new 1-inch, 5-gigabyte hard drive, and touts up to 20 hours of playback time on a rechargeable battery. It will cost $249 and be available in late August


Anyone remember that show with Doc Cox (yes kids, he really is ZANY! With a capital ZEE!) and Esther Rantzen..? I think it was called "This Life" or something. I'm not sure, as it was a bit before my time. So, as a tribute to them, here's some pictures of fruit, that look like c0cks and f4nni3s, in a story cleverly titled Thousands flock to see fruity display in Indonesia.

Pentagon Looks to Directed-Energy Weapons
If all goes as planned, the chickens will be frozen in mid-cluck, their leg and wing muscles paralyzed by an electrical charge created by the beam, even as their heart and lungs function normally

Anna Nicole not just famous for marrying old millionaire...

She exposed another facet of her 'talents' at a videogame awards show. That's right - she's done a Janet Jackson.

Videogames should be banned - as well as encouraging violence they also encourage nudity.

Slebs painted by famous painters... sort of

This compo at Worth1000 has some excellent images. The challenge was to draw a modern day celeb in the style of a famous painter and there are images in the style of Van Gogh, Cezanne, Da Vinci, Gaugin, Manet, Dali, Picasso and many more.

Someone put the frickin' kettle on PLEASE!

Morning all! And morning to the growabrain visitors too! Seeing as you've joined us in the middle of another blog war between mmChronic and dogs, here's a nice xylophone to calm everyone down. May I present to you, the Limmy.com Xylophone.

You'll need speakers, and it's best not to play with a xylophone at work. If you know what I mean.

Google Launches New Features

Google is now so powerful you can type in an item you've lost with their new keyword eg lost: keys and Google will find them for you. It can now also find the perfect partner for you (although we've got loads to choose from for Dogs) and tell you the meaning of life.

Check out all the other new features here.

Hello Growabrain readers!

It seems Dogs' picture of a hairybacked man which he claims to be me has been picked up by grow-a-brain. Twunt! The last time grow-a-brain featured us we got loads of hits so no doubt the same will happen today.

Luckily they didn't link direct to the post but to the front page - which means if I fill it up with Dogs stories today my thirst for revenge will have been satisfied. Probably.

So without further ado let me present the picture of Dogs after his capture at the Princess Di waste of money memorial yesterday.
I won't shite in the water again mister!

The picture is from a canny collection of 'Owned ' pics - check them out here.

Operation Thunderbolt

Here's your chance to fly an F18 and shoot things. The game is called Operation Thunderbolt which I could have sworn had been used as a game title before.

Be careful you don't get a high score - you might get an automatic, non negotiable 6 month tour of Iraq as the game belongs to the Australian Air Force.

Dogs and litter fouling Princess Di fountain

It looks like Dogs has let the side down again. He's only went and took his pack of ill begotten offspring and piddled all over the People's Princess' Memorial thingummybob. He should be put down for treason.
"'The critical issue is that this is a memorial. I don't think any responsible person would want to see people allowing their Dogs in it.'"
We're very sorry and we promise not to let him out again.

Links a plenty

I've not had much time at my PC lately due to Junior being off school so i may just keep this up for a while...

Bob's Inappropriate Toys for Children

With the advent of the long, drawn out, summer holidays I bet the kids are getting right on your tits. Well I have the solution to your problem - buy them something from Bob's Inappropriate Toys for Children. They'll fall silent fairly quickly I reckon.

Mini economic revival

It seems perky tats aren't the only sign of a recovering economy - in Japan the length of a mini skirt is tied to the economical performance. As consumer confidence rises so does the hem line.

Yay for strengthening economies!

BBC - Cult Television - Top Screen Scientist Vote

The BBC is doing an online poll to vote for your favourite fictional scientist. There are at least 2 obvious ones missing from the list. They do however have Beaker!

Mind you I'll never trust a BBC poll ever again after the travesty of the best comedy one. Fscking Vicar of Dibley 3rd best UK sitcom ever? My arse!

August Icon compo entry!

You're the diet coke of evil, just one calorie, not evil enough!Seeing as you've missed my quality icon generation for the whole of last month, here's one I did while I was on holiday!

Great little piece on how to get rid of the built in backdoor on your Windows box. Who's going to do it first to see if it works? I nominate bhell13 as he can tech support himself if it goes wrong!

One for ILuvNufc

No link I'm afraid as it's just repeating gossip from the popbitch newsletter but...
But the big news is that one 80s band no-one ever thought would be getting back together are in "early discussions."

The Smiths.

ILN Jr had better be prepared for his dad waving bunches of gladioli in the sitting room. Or something.

...was mmChronic this weekend? I think this one is more than a bit tricky so I've put about a dozen more on the picture dump. I haven't thought of a prize yet and probably won't need to. :)

Working Lego Guitar

Can you tell that us NewLinkers love our Lego.

Here is another Lego link, a real working Lego guitar.
I would'nt mind trying to build one myself but most of my Lego went up the Hoover when i was a kid.Time for a NewLinks Lego appeal methinks.
