More Story Time
The other day, Steve made a comment under the story of the guy opening the wrong door on the plane that I thought needed its own post to properly explain it. I just hope I can convey how hilarious it is in written form. There’s a part of me that has its doubts. This whole …
Squirrel In The Hole?
Man, people need to stop heaving stuff through drive-through windows. This latest one was gross, but thankfully didn’t hurt anyone. So what was put through the drive-through window? a dead squirrel. Eeewww. Apparently Christopher Thompson was doing some work on his friend’s car when his friend thought it would be funny to leave a dead …

Put Your Twitter Presence On The Couch
A while back, I was poking around Twitter to see who I could find. I found someone, but he had abandoned his Twitter account. But one of his last tweets referenced a site called TweetPsych.

Heaven Smith’s High School Hell

The letters came from him, and …
I Spit In The Face Of People Who Want Cheeseburgers At Breakfast
You know, this story about some woman suing McDonald’s because she says an employee spat in her face really wouldn’t even get my attention most weeks. Waaa waaa, someone else wants to take an incident that may have warranted a complaint to the manager and turn it into a demand for money. But because of …

I Said Lay Off On Calling The Police At School, But I Didn’t Mean That Much.
I read about this story last week, but I could not find proper words to talk about it. Here’s the summary. A girl was dragged into a washroom at Central High School in Muncie, Indiana and raped. She went to the office to report what happened. Instead of calling the police, they made her sit …
