>May I See Your Burner’s Permit?

>I know we tend to rag on Britain a lot around here, but think for a few minutes about the idea ofcharging people £200 a year for a smoking permit,and then try telling me that you honestly don’t think they deserve it. I doubt this idea is going anywhere considering that the brains behind it …

Spineless Robber May Have Less Of A Spine Now

Wow. I’m sure the robber in this story wasn’t expecting to be shot in the neck by a 75-year-old blind man. I’m wondering if the shooter was Carey McWilliams’ grandfather. I guess that blind man was a good shot. The shootee is in serious condition with a bullet lodged close to his spine and they …

More Parental Disasters

I wouldn’t bother writing about this particular loser, except I know I’ve ranted about the number of crappy parents out there before. He was driving drunk, in the wrong direction down a busy highway, with some open booze, in an uninsured car with an invalid license plate…oh, and his two-year-old daughter just hangin’ out in …

>Travelodge: A Good Naked Sleepwalk Isn’t Far Away

Now That’s A Lucky Boy

He gets rescued by a sex-offender who was convicted of assaulting a four-year-old boy, and he is returned, unharmed, to his home. …

These People Aren’t Smokin’ In The Brains Department

Most of this article was pretty uninteresting. It said that a lot of women in West Virginia smoke while pregnant. Apparently these women just don’t know it’s bad, and campaigns to bring them up to date on this just aren’t working. Other women are suffering from depression, so that wouldn’t be a really easy time …

Hey Hidey Ho, Where’d The Old Lobster Go?

This has to be a setup. Somebody really wanted these lobsters to run wild and free. They had to have. In the middle of the night in Stuttgart, Germany, dozens of lobsters who were going to be sold to people to be made into a nice dish made an escape from an Asian supermarket. This …

Those Pants Must Have Really Meant A Lot To Him

All I can say is, good! I don’t think we blogged about this anywhere, but I’m sure everyone has heard about Roy Pearson, Jr. the idiot who sued the dry-cleaners to the tune of $54000000 for supposedly losing his pants, and even though they said they found them, he said they weren’t his, and on …
