The Weekend Links is nothing without YOU! When you find something interesting, bizarre, cool or you don't know what to do with it, send it my way at FlossyLinks@gmail.com. Also drop me a tweet or follow me to get links to terrible southern accents in movies (and how they should sound - a personal pet peeve of mine!)
