Lars O’Mara wanted to carry out a memorable senior prank that would get everybody out of school. What he chose to do will get him a memorable felony charge and an expulsion. So, here’s some advice for everybody else. A good senior prank does not involve making a hoax explosive device. That only wastes authorities’ …

Run For The Border…And From The Death
Wow. I’ve heard of threatening notes written in lipstick, or on an ordinary old sheet of paper…but I’ve never heard of death threats written on tortillas! Yup, tortillas. The message was in Spanish, and roughly translated to “Do you like my tortillas? Death.” The threatening bread was found under the target’s car. What an odd …
The Need For Sleep
Here’s a story for all the people who underestimate our need for sleep. There’s a rare condition that causes some people to not get any sleep…ever, and eventually, it ends up killing them. I have learned to respect sleep after what depriving myself of it dit to me years ago. I wish everyone did.
Thirty Lashes With Some Wet Noodles
I just said to Steve that we hadn’t had a good food feud in a while. We’ve got ourselves a food feud. Apparently, to Kenyana McQuay and Waltia Funches, not holding the elevator for them is an offense punishable by punching, kicking, swinging of handbags, and…pelting of pasta. This is what Mohammed Warsame discovered when …
This Guy Isn’t A Sex Offender?
Help me out here. In Scotland, if you hump a bike, you’re going on the sex-offender registry right away. But if you engage in online sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl, and threaten her and her friends if she doesn’t come to her webcam and do things to get you going, you don’t have to …

Yeah, because mascara is a damn necessity of …

Born To Be Wild…And Wild After Death
Wow. On one level, I think the idea of a motorcycle-enthusiast’s body being posed on a motorcycle for his wake is a great one. I mean, why not be portrayed doing what you love after death? But I think I’d be a little spooked out at the funeral. There’s the guy, sitting up on his …
Another Road Show, Another Success
Last year, Steve and I went to the Just for Laughs Road Show and had a pretty good time. This year, we went again, and the shoe thief came too. It was a pretty good show, but for some reason it didn’t quite top last year. I don’t know why, but hell, it was still …
Making the iPhone’s Touchscreen A little More Tactile
How cool is this? Jen just sent me an article about a neat new doohicker specifically for iPhone users. It’s being made by Bernard Maldonado, ya know, Mr. Solona. Basically, it’s a tactile overlay for the iPhone! If it works the way it should, it would make more people want to be iPhoners. Heck, if …
