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. Because I’m always fascinated by quizzes and stuff, I thought hey, what the heck? So I punched my Twitter username …

Heaven Smith’s High School Hell

I started to read this story about Heaven Smith’s high school experience, and it made me angry. When I’ve now read it in full, it makes me simultaneously angry beyond words and wanting to cry. At the age of 16, she should not be experiencing so many barriers. She is in a wheelchair and goes …

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Posts

I’m sitting here and I can hardly believe it’s exactly two weeks before Christmas. How in hell did I get here and how did it happen so fast? I agree with Steve that it doesn’t seem possible that it’s already Christmas again. In fact, when I try and think of things I’ve gotten people, I …

Somebody Needs An Attitude Change

Here’s a freaky thought. Amber Yust had decided to get a sex-change. When she registered her new name and gender with the San Francisco DMV, after an employee, who she has named as Thomas Demartini, processed her application, he started sending her letters and DVD’s warning of eternal damnation. 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 …

That’s One Sica Individual

We have yet another lesson to learn on the Joshua Simon Ashby theme. He has already taught us that you shouldn’t give nude photos to folks you don’t know, and you should not give him your passwords. Now, courtesy of David Sica, we have learned that you should never store nude photos of yourself in …

Use The Exits *After* The Plane Has Landed

First, we need a themesong. Thank you Arrogant Worms. There really isn’t much to this story. a possibly suicidal man tried to open the exit door of a plane mid-flight. Luckily, he failed, and nobody was hurt. The plane diverted to Albuquerque, and he’s now having a big ol’ chat with the FBI. But it …

Fire In The Hole Asshole Goes To Jail

It looks like our fire in the hole prank-committer has turned himself in, or maybe his parents turned him in. Either way, he’s facing the music, and so he should. The employee has required lots of treatment for the serious burns he received on his face and neck. Yeah, ha ha ha ha, a real …

Are You Ready For Some Jail Time?

Police were summoned to a Chicago home because a woman was seen drunk outside holding her three-month-old child under her armpit like a football. And why was Jamie Riley drunk? Oh, she and her husband were just celebrating the fact that the DCFS had dropped their investigation into the safety of their child. Consider the …
