Back a couple years ago, I wrote about a guy getting shot in the Philippines for singing out of tune. I mentioned that a lot of places removed the popular song “My Way” by Frank Sinatra from their lists because it caused too much violence. Well, here’s a whole story on that phenomenon. Wow. Nobody …

Some Olympics Thoughts
I’ve meant to write more about the Olympics than I have, but obviously that hasn’t happened. Oh well, what are ya gonna do? Canada is doing pretty well after a week of competition. We’re currently tied for 4th place in the medal count with France, 7 each. the United States is currently whipping ass with …
Got The Goods, Got My Gun, Got My Keys?
I probably wouldn’t have posted this story, except for the image created by a couple of sentences. A man robbed a hotel, and police were called. When police arrived, they quickly found a big clue, a dropped set of keys to a caddilac in the hallway. When they went outside, they found Darnell Lamar Wright, …
Don’t Drink And Shoplift
Hmmm. Well, that didn’t go so well. A dude stole some cough drops and a bottle of Schnapps from a store and ran out. He ran and hid, only he hid in the police station. It didn’t take long before he was found, and he was already drunk.
New Echo Changes
I just noticed that Echo has tweaked itself a wee touch. Now, you have choices when you follow a comment thread. When you click follow, a set of radio buttons appears. The choices are never in this stream, replies to my comment, or any new items posted to this stream. For some dumb reason, it …
A Strong Reaction To Mints
I saw this story when I was writing about those other school-related overreactions, and somehow missed including it in the roundup. But then again, I would have had to come up with a new allitteration for the title. There was a horrible scare at Booker T. Washington School in Birmingham, Alabama. Someone thought that a …
The Blackberry Skitter
After the burial of Oratio I linked to last week, I was very interested when the same site posted an interview with Michel Pepin of Humanware, all about Oratio. Ok, what is up with this guy. Is half the problem that French is his first language? He does a lot of stammering and stuttering, and …
Milky The Marvelous Milking Cow
Watching this ad, I have no idea how this fantastic product never caught on. It never did catch on, did it? I mean honestly, how could anybody possibly resist a song like that and the promise of pretend milk?
I’m Your Venus
Speaking as a man, I must say that it’s always nice when I can put women in a post like this. It really shows that as much as we like to spend time pointing out our differences, deep down we’re all the same. The exact, batshit crazy same. Venus Lewisis facing 3 counts of lewd …
Brings A Whole New Meaning To Pounding The Pavement
That would be an odd exchange. A truck approached a woman to ask about buying some pavement from her. I guess the driver was ok, but then the passenger, Billie Bobbie Harrison, went a little nuts. He started making sexual comments, then exposed himself to the woman and offered to pave her driveway in exchange …
