The Score did a fun (depending on your perspective at least) little roundup of some of the stranger injuries in sports. I wasn’t sure whether or not I was going to post it, but then this happened. Bryce Mitchell (2018) Don’t stick a power drill in your pocket: That’s the lesson UFC fighter Mitchell learned …
It’s been a while since a story not about Donald Trump has made me scream out loud, but dear god, this one sure did. According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, 51-year-old Walter Frymire was arrested after deputies received a call regarding a naked man inside a bathroom at a public park. Sheriff Grady Judd …

Here’s one for Carin. As we’ve mentioned, she loves these. Make her day, they do.

I don’t go on a lot of international vacations (I haven’t left Canada since 1994), but the next time I do I’m definitely springing for the health insurance if it’s offered. I would hate to be caught unprepared for, say, an extremely venomous snout cobra making a snack out of my goolies while I’m minding …
There is an update to the story of Gary Van Ryswyk, the elderly gentleman who messed up an in-home castration surgery on a fellow he met on a eunuch website, nearly causing the poor guy to bleed to death. He pleaded no contest to the charges he faced and will be spending a couple of …
