The Best News Bloopers Of July 2024
I hope they didn’t make the dry rub guy apologize. That was funny. And yes, yacht is a stupid word that I’m glad I didn’t have to deal with often back in the radio days. I could absolutely see myself being that guy, especially on a bad sleep morning.
Cut It Out! You’re Bugging Me! Clean Up Your Act!
Call me crazy if you’d like, but for some reason I have a feeling that this unseasoned chicken thing isn’t the first time that this family has had a night like this. When Deputy Kyle Burns and Corporal Simpson arrived, they were told the situation began when Anthony Harper was asked “why he didn’t season …

Calm Down, Man. Maybe He’s Just Flirting
Fun fact: Many years ago, I knew someone who was accused, among other awful things, of bestiality. Several of us knew about it, and we had a grand old time making fun of him for it. Thankfully he never tried to beat any of us up, not that he could have. In fact he seemed …
Somewhere, Someone Is Kicking Himself For Only Asking For Six Grand
Stories about bank scams are getting to be a lot like stories about fireworks.

Better Than Eating Them, I Suppose
I don’t know what prompted Joseph Weaver to resign from his position at the Jacksboro Tennessee police department, but clearly, he’s upset about it. A very odd kind of upset, but definitely upset. Weaver, according to police, admitted to throwing several cans of Vienna sausages at the home of the town’s vice mayor Jimmy Snodgrass, …
I Hope You Like Cords
Huh. Who could have ever seen this coming? Oh that’s right, me! Streaming appears poised to undergo what some have called “The Great Re-Bundling,” with services merging, combining or forming alliances that will essentially reconstruct the cable “bundle” that consumers relied upon for decades. While that makes sense for studios eager to offer “more robust …
Look, Guys! It’s The Inside Of My Skull Where My Brain Used To…Never Mind
After all these years, I’ve gotten to the point with fireworks injury stories where I’ve seriously caught myself thinking “meh. Guy blew his hand off. Whatever.” I’ll read them just in case there’s a funny detail buried somewhere, but most of the time they get a quick scan and then it’s on to the next …

I’m Not Joe Biden, And Someone Approved This Message For Me
Since the AI boom or whatever this actually is got started, I have come up with exactly three good uses for the technology. Here they are, in no particular order. Giving people who are losing their ability to speak a chance to preserve their voices if they’d like. Helping advance scientific research by analyzing data …
