I like to think that www.listentoleon.net has been a wonderful, amusing and time-consuming way for folks to help get through the day. I mean, hours can be spent looking through the archives, and especially the Greatest Hits page. Still, as I work to add more content for you readers out there, here are a few Hustleman-Approved ways to keep from falling asleep at your desk before quitting time.
Laugh at the photos at www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com
This site is hilarious, because EVERY MAN ON EARTH can relate to seeing a hot chick with some jackass with a Growing up Gotti haircut in the club. You know, the guy that tried entirely too hard to achive his “look.” Go there. Crack jokes. Enjoy.
Expand Your Vocabulary:
You can sign up for Dictionary.com’s “Word of the Day” newsletter. Sure, it’s extra unecessary e-mail in your inbox, but it’s an excuse to learn big words so you can sound more important than you really are! For instance, today’s word is
ameliorate \uh-MEEL-yuh-rayt\, transitive verb:
1. To make better; to improve.intransitive verb:
1. To grow better.
Now, let’s use it in a sentence: Leon just helped me ameliorate my vocabulary and writing skills today!
Besides, you must always strive to learn as much as possible. That is the only way to achieve a Leonian level of English Language mastery. When you are at that level, you can invent your own words and still make people laugh.
Watch some guy’s choices for the Greatest Movie Speeches Ever
Whether or not you agree with this list, it’s worth it just to watch the Samuel L Jackson clip from Pulp Fiction. Classic stuff!
There. I have given you the options of learning, watching movies, or making fun of people. Just ake sure you come back from your visit to these other sites and let me know how you liked them.

Sorry, man, but that line from Animal House — “What is it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” — still cracks me up.
I first saw Animal House when I was in high school, and it was at that very moment that I realized that I wanted to go to college! It’s still one of my favorite movies, and that speech was hilarious.
The movie list was good, but the person who created it definitely doesn’t watch a lot of Black movies. Dolla Bill (Bernie Mac) in Player’s Club had a classic speech when he explained the history of the stripping business.
The speech-list was so bad, I’m almost tempted to make my own.
Nothing from before the 80′s is sacreliege.
AND…
He got the wrong Samuel L. Jackson speech from Pulp Fiction…How, can you mess that up?!
The defining speech always will be, and always has been his first about Ezekiel 25:17.
@ DCMoviegirl, I agree wholeheartedly about the 1st speech being better. I want to see your list, so I definitely encourage you to put one together!
Hey Leon! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Just wanted to let you know I replied to your comment.
Have a great weekend!
;)
i think the best speech was that of eddie murphy in Distinguised Gentlemen and i quote…”If it gets too hot… then stay out of the kitchen!”
oh and by the way…listentoleon.net is the first thing that i log into on my work computer in the mornings….. thats how i jumpstart my day. Goooo Leon!
And just when I thouht I was the only closet “nerd”. I’ve been receiving “The Word of the Day” for years now! Man…..I need to get away from my computer and find myself one of those dates you described today! ;)
