The Winter Olympics are now over. Did you enjoy them? Did you watch ANY of it?
I did, and am startled to announce my personal conversion: The winter games are more fun than the summer games.
Can’t believe it? I can hardly believe it either. I have always been one (of the many) who trash [...]

Tiger Owes Me an Apology!

Tiger apologized recently. It was broadcast live on TV. This was a really big story.
Whole televised sports hours were dedicated to discussing all aspects of this.
Countless hours of radio programming, even on non-sports stations, have parsed his words and vocal intonations. Newspapers and magazines are swimming in articles about this.
Was he sincere?
Maybe you know [...]

Flat Busted

We had a flat tire the other day. Noticed it outside, at work.
Since we are deep in snow (for what seems like three straight months now), I just went to the store and purchased a product that is supposed to fix a flat. I won’t mention the name of the product, but just know [...]

Are you a guy? Did you have a brother? Was he older or younger?
I am a guy, with an older brother.
I don’t know what it is like to have a younger brother because I WAS the younger brother. I am sure I was pretty annoying…. hanging around, saying stupid things, bugging his friends.
He is [...]

Formerly fierce Conrad Dobler has paid a terrible price for choosing the NFL as a career. No longer a physical specimen (in the positive sense), today he is 90% disabled, having suffered through numerous operations to repair his battered body. He has had too many surgeries to count, but let us just begin [...]

By the Numbers

I just found out that someone I know is into numerology. I didn’t know her well enough to know that she was born on the 6th, but I do now.
So the number six means a whole lot to her. She sees six’s in all of her daily life events.
I see six’s too, but [...]

Sarah Palin & FOX: We Love the Average!

I wanted to title this article “FOX goes Rogue.” Couldn’t do it. Going ‘rogue’ means acting differently than expected. NOTHING could have been more predictable than hiring a shallow right-wing mouthpiece, to compliment all the other shallow right-wing mouthpieces. On the other hand, she is prettier than anyone else on FOX. Oh well…
Former Alaska [...]

We have done an informal and completely unscientific poll. It turns out most of you read Winkest Link well after it has been posted.
To you we say “Happy belated Christmas!”
We hope it was loads of fun.
For those of you in the twin cities of Minneapolis and Cleveland, we hope Santa brought you a sled, [...]

Some are Born with Roommates, Some have Roommates Thrust Upon Them…

By Wink
I had several roommates in college. Each was a variation on the concept of ‘weird,’ but they were all pretty smart.
Now that I think about it, they were probably all smarter than me. That is a disheartening revelation this late in life, but at least I learned a lot from them.
My first roomie was [...]

Jon Stewart & Glenn Beck

You might imagine we at Winkest Link are highly amused by The Daily Show. You would be right.
Recently Jon Stewart performed a dead-on parody of the Beck style. This clip has become very popular on YouTube. Of course it can also be viewed on indecisionforever.com, which is a Comedy Central website connected to The [...]
