Oh my. We’re so getting a fake kidnapping tag. It’s happening. Today, it’s happening. I’m sure the first story this unknown man told about battling men who abducted him, getting shot, and getting thrown to ferocious crocodiles in Mexico was a hell of a lot more cool-sounding than what really happened which was…he drunkenly pissed …

I Can Taste The Slime, And Smell A Lawsuit
I have no doubt that what happened to this woman would suck. What I don’t like is the overdramatic stance she’s taking. She’s so angling for a lawsuit. I can tell. She claims that after ordering an iced tea, she took a sip, and got a big ol’ swig of mucous. *ug*. She showed it …

He Said There Are Other fish In The Sea, She Said She Had Other Fish To Fry
Yikes. This unnamed woman from Pasadena is either crazy, spiteful, or a little of both. After a fight with her ex over jewellery, she took, and fried, seven of his goldfish! It’s too bad they don’t say her name, because I think people need to know who she is. If they wind up living with …

He Certainly Put the Poo In Pool
Ug. Now there’s something I wouldn’t want to have happen. A Florida family suddenly heard something crash into their pool screen and fall into their pool. It turned out to be a naked, drunk man covered in poop. Yup. When they recognized him, he ran away, but police tracked him, Robert Stark Higgins, down. All …
It’s Not Called "Death To The Infidels On Capital Hill"
I saw this article on Snopes, and the sentiment behind the quoted email made me too angry for words. Some people got upset about the Islam on Capital Hill gathering and started sending this email around saying things like As I received this news, the Lord immediately brought back to mind the words that He …

Watch The Watch…Or the Bird…Or the Watch…Or the Bird…
A while ago, I mentioned the infamous incident with a room-mate and a talking watch, and I said that I had to tell that story at some point. I feel like telling it today. I believe it was a spring day, and we were all doing stuff to do with school or cleaning the house. …

Did He Get The Injuries After the Police Found Out He Was Wasting Their Time?
Here comes another fake kidnapping. I’m really starting to consider creating a tag for tracking these. This unnamed guy from Cambridge made up a story about being attacked outside Sidelines Sports Bar & Grill, where he was knocked unconscious, thrown into a car, later to be dropped off in Woodstock where he discovered his wallet …

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Last Christmas, I got a gift certificate to the mall from a friend. I decided it might as well be spent on a good book from Chapters. I had no idea what book I wanted, so I walked in and asked for recommendations. My only hard and fast rule was that it be unabridged. If …

Comments Links: How’s That?
We had a few people tell us that our comments and our trackbacks stuff ran together and you couldn’t see how many comments there were. So…we decided to remove the trackback code. Simple, right? Right? Wrong! We went to the Haloscan site and tried to run the autoinstall. We unchecked trackback code. We thought, in …
