Zero Tolerance, Zero Smarts
So here’s a little tip from me to you. If you’re in the UK, and you see a gun lying around, for god’s sake don’t take it into the police station to turn it in. You’ll immediately get arrested, charged with possession of a firearm and you could face five years in jail, minimum, just …
Dork To Door
I have to tell a little story. I wonder if the guy in the story happens to be Anthony Korazco and since this story happened, he had since relocated to Brownsville, Texas. One night, Steve came down to meet a friend of ours outside the apartment building. While waiting for the cab, a guy came …
You’re Cut Off! Oh Yeah? Well, You’re Shit On!
Scott D. Leonard should take a lesson from Erik Salmons. Quit while you’re ahead. Leonard was having a grand old time at a bar, and then he got a little too tipsy and started throwing darts at other patrons. The bartender said there would be no booze for him, something he did not like to …

Neither Rain Nor Sleet Nor Snow Can Stop The Mail, But Alcohol And Noodles Can
Read the story of Kristine Pflughaupt and tell me you don’t have more words than “hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha! *snort*! Hahahahahahhahah!” Pflughaupt, a name that sounds like a noise one would make while hurling, was a mail carrier. I guess, before her route began, she got thirsty. So she drank…some booze. Then, on her route, she got hungry. …

Share The Dream And Part With Some Money
Until today, I had never seen this give us 10 bucks and we’ll give you a piece of the SkyDome Roof commercial from 1989. I know I’ve never seen it because if I had, there’s no way I would have ever forgotten it. Yes,the Dome and its retractable roof were a pretty big deal 20 …
It’s A Cat!
Good lord! I say that for two reasons: 1. A woman of an unknown age and her 27-year-old son were so afraid of a cat that went insane that they called 911. Seriously. It’s a cat. I know it’s a 16-pound cat, but it’s a damn cat! The thing went nuts, so they started running …
