Ok, I just came back from the walk from hell. I figure something good has to come out of it, so I’m going to blog about it, in the hopes that it will help people be more helpful and less likely to get yelled at. Let me just describe what happened, and then I’ll break …

Why Not Just Ask Where The Washroom Is?
Ug! What would possess someone to piss all over a Wal-Mart meat counter? I guess we can ask Robert T. Jenkins, he’s in jail unless someone pays $25000 to get him out. He destroyed $600-worth of steak and other meat. This story is light on details, but it has a few big errors. According to …
Maybe It Was Motivational For Somebody…
Wow. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at this so-called motivational speech. Shirley Price, a board trustee, was invited in to do a little pep talk to girls ranging from sixth to eighth grades. She was born with some kind of disability that was not specified, but still got …
Positive ID, Negative IQ
You know, if you just robbed a store, and then video of you robbing a store shows up on the news, you probably know what is going on, and don’t need to march into the police station to demand an explanation. You would say that’s about accurate, wouldn’t you, Myesha Williams? But you did make …
Giggleworthy Names
Apparently, the names gods are smiling on us. We have a funny names bonanza! Laurel and Hardy were arrested for drug charges. For real! Yup, Carlos Laurel and Andre “Shug” Hardy. A fellow got arrested for having carnal knowledge of a minor. His name? Knowledge Clark. Next up, a boss at Starbucks named Tim Horton …

It’s A Cruise To Remember Alright
This is so sick. Haiti is in the midst of dealing with a horrible earthquake. Masses of people are dead and the survivors are starving. Many more children are orphaned. But cruise ships are still docking nearby so people can have a barbecue and drink some cocktails. Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines has a private beach …
Title Of The Song
Barb did this quiz last week, and I’ve been meaning to do it, but goddamn it, it’s hard. Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Try not to repeat a song title. Artist: I’m going to change the rules. You guess the artist. Steve, you can’t guess, you saw me trying …
Just Don’t Call Him Ray!
I remember hearing about this story back when it happened, pre-blog, sadly, but seeing it again in Snopes made me decide to post about it. We can all laugh now, but I’m sure, at the time, nobody was laughing. It happened in Lauderhill, Florida in 2002. For their Martin Luther King Day celebrations, they decided …
This Video Blows!
Edit: I guess I got my wish when I said this video has to go. It’s been pulled. I doubt they did it for me though. It’s probably because that video is out of date. Hopefully they didn’t make a new, crappy one for the Victor Reader Trek. Aside: Hahahahaha Victor Reader Trek. Is anyone …
