Every holiday season we see them, we hear them, we give to them, and we usually feel sorry for them as they stand out in the cold. Yes, I’m referring to the cheery people who ring the bells while collecting donations for the Salvation Army. They have become a symbol of the holiday season, reminding people of those who do not have much during the holidays and how important it is to give back.
On Monday, one collector’s night was not so pleasant when, Shawn Krieger, a 44 year old man from Ohio, stole one of the kettles full of donations outside of a store, and proceeded to say to the donation collector, “I can’t stand you and your bell ringing. I hate Christmas.” (more…)
Watch out Korean drivers! In Seoul, on Wednesday, a 68 year old, Korean woman passed her written drivers exam after taking it 950 times (I bet most of you are happy you don’t have to drive on Korean streets right about now.)
Cha- Sa soon has been taking the test almost every day since April 2005. She supposedly needs her license for her vegetable business. She was obviously very determined, because I don’t know anyone who would voluntarily put themselves through that much stress and humiliation. (more…)
A Texas man was arrested after he was found sleeping in a closet with a corpse. Just a little creepy...
We have heard the same slogan for years, “Say no to drugs,” but it appears that some people still refuse to listen to the simple knowledge that we have had since elementary school. It amazes me that still people do not understand that hard drugs are horrible for you, can mess you up, and in some cases lead to death.
Cody Jean Plant, a 21 year old man from Houston, learned the hard way when he was found asleep next to a dead body in a vacant building. Why was he there and how did he not know that he was sleeping next to a dead guy?! What I really want to know is, how did they end up in a closet? I know they were high, but it still amazes me that of all places to end up in it would be the closet of a vacant building. (more…)
Imagine: it’s late, you’re coming home from the bars and you’ve had a lot to drink, so what do you do? Walk? No. Call a cab? No. The only logical thing to do would be to drive your La-Z-Boy home, of course!
Sounds crazy, but believe it or not Dennis LeRoy Anderson, a 62 year old man from Minnesota, did just that. After having eight or nine beers back in August 2008 he left the bar in his powered La-Z-Boy and attempted to drive himself home. Unfortunately, on his way he crashed into a parked car.
I’m surprised he made it anywhere with a blood alcohol level of 0.29, which is over three times the legal limit. Anderson was not hurt during the accident and he turned himself in, pleading guilty to a DWI during his trial on Friday.
While this situation sucks, the chair on the other hand sounds awesome. It is a recliner that has a stereo and cup holders and it is powered by a converted lawnmower. Is this what 60-year-olds do in their retirement? Do we work our asses off for years so that one day we can say, “I’m bored today, and I’m old, I think I’m going to make my chair have a motor so I can go wherever I want,” and then actually ride it to a bar?
All I can say is, wow. Mr. Anderson, at 62 I admire you for your inventiveness, but your judgment on the other hand is seriously slipping. It is also a little too late for you to be trying to relive your youth by having a middle aged crisis, which should have probably taken place about 10 years ago.
Anderson received 2 years probation for his actions. Hopefully he will behave better next time and will have the common sense to do what all other people his age do, which does not include acting like a college frat boy.
Picture this: a women upside down, on a man’s back, with her legs wrapped around his head. What does this sound like to you? If you were thinking some kinky new sex position the answer is no… sorry. This is the position that is used by the couples that compete in the sport of “wife-carrying.’
In Newry, Maine, Dave and Lacey Castro became the new champions of the wife-carrying competition. Dave carried Lacey on his back while he ran through an obstacle course that contained a muddy water hole and two log obstacles. The Castro’s are the proud recipients of Lacey’s weight in beer and five times her weight in cash. They will also get the chance to compete in the world championships in Finland.
I am shocked that this is actually real and that people actually treat this like a serious thing.
I personally don’t understand the point behind “wife-carrying”or how it came to be. The only thing I get out of this weird piece of news is that anything can become a sport these days and people will compete in it, no matter how ridiculous it is, as long as beer and cash are involved.
“Can you put extra sugar in my coffee?” ”Sure, do you want me to take my top off too?”
Excuse me, what?! Sound a little ridiculous to you? Well, in Everett, Washington this isn’t such a stretch of the imagination.
Grab and Go Bikini Hut is a coffee stand where the employees are women that serve coffee to customers while wearing bikinis. There have been reports (over 40 complaints in the last year) that these women not only make coffee, but also charge people who want to look at and touch them.
A two month undercover police investigation found that the women were even seen “licking whipped cream off of each other and posed naked for pictures at the Grab and Go.” Last Wednesday, five of the girls were arrested for prostitution. (more…)
The famous line from the Wizard of Oz, “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore,” should be “thank god we’re not in Kansas… those people are crazy!”
We're not in Kansas anymore...
Kansas made the weird news headlines this week when a couple got caught during an “intimate moment.” Now this may sound somewhat normal, but their “moment” was in a trash bin and to top it off they not only got interrupted, but also robbed during it.
This is definitely weird news, but it is even more insane because they were not some drunk, horny teenagers that just couldn’t wait until they got home. Oh no, the two people that got caught were both 44 years old. A trash bin? Really? You couldn’t have tried to be a little classier than that. I mean come on, who seriously looks at the place where stinky, festering, disgusting waste gets put and thinks to themselves, “isn’t that a romantic and awesome place to have sex, just hold your nose hunny!” Umm, I think not!
Imagine: it’s late, you’re coming home from the bars and you’ve had a lot to drink, so what do you do? Walk? No. Call a cab? No. The only logical thing to do would be to drive your La-Z-Boy home, of course!
