Friday's Link-Oh-Rama

*** I heard the term “Juggalo” for the first time about a year ago. I thought my son was mispronouncing the word “gigolo,” but he explained that there was a girl in his class who said she was a Juggalo. I came to find out he was correct. Here’s a long read to explain: The Juggalo Cult. (warning for a couple F bombs, but otherwise interesting)

*** Jill Callison at the Argus Leader points out old books as book shelves.

*** Forbes has released its annual “World’s Top-Earning Authors” list. Again, missed it by that much. The ’50 Shades’ lady raked in a cool $95 million. You can buy a lot of fuzzy handcuffs with that dough.
“When it comes to predicting a single solitary book, there’s little science behind it. You can have as much access to this data as you want but there’s nothing to quantify luck.”
*** Lighter moment at the Little League World Series as this Panamanian boy has an embarrassing encounter with a curveball.

*** Speaking of which, here’s Van Halen.
