Md. man who stole, crashed plane to pay just $40

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — A homeless man caused about $12,000 in damage when he stole and crashed a single-engine airplane at a Maryland airport — but he'll pay just $40 in restitution.

Frederick County Circuit Judge G. Edward Dwyer Jr. expressed surprise Thursday upon learning of the small amount.

Dwyer asked: "Only $40?"

Prosecutors explained that insurance had paid for all the damage except for a $40 deductible.

Mystery rodent scurries by as Obama lauds Wall Street vote

WASHINGTON (AP) — In the midst of his battle with the titans of Wall Street, President Obama was nearly upstaged by a rodent.

Obama had just begun a Rose Garden statement lauding the end of a Senate filibuster on his financial overhaul when some kind of rodent dashed out of the bushes to his right, just outside the Oval Office.

In fact, this wasn't the first time a rodent's been spied in the White House, or even the Rose Garden.

Just last week, as camera crews set up for an Obama statement on the Gulf oil spill, what's believed to have been the same rodent made a dash across the famous garden.

It actually works for FOX news.

Graduation Onions

Okay, so....
I was at a graduation Friday. It was in Shepherd, Michigan. Now if you know where Shepherd is, that's great. If not it's between Alma and Mount Pleasant. In Isabella county. It was a family member graduating and no I don't live in Shepherd...I would be crazier than I am now if I lived in Shepherd. I think, there might be in the whole of Shepherd, two traffic lights. It's one of those Stephen King towns where everyone knows everyone else's business and people talk about other people like this "Bob Smith's girl....You know the one that had the mole on her cheek she had removed...." Yea, you get the picture.
Anyway, apparently they have done a lot of work on their high school and are still working on their high school because all the construction equipment was all over the parking lot and it was difficult to find a place to park. (Again, it's a very small town). When we spotted this jackass with his truck parked over two parking spaces.
Granted if you have a gold inlaid Hummer signed by Jesse James or something like that, you probably would want to keep it in pristine order...So, why would you bring it to this event? Who knows? But this jackass has a beat up..."Let's go to McDonald's for our prom dining experience" King Ranch...Clearly not that special and yet...He parked it like this when people were just trying to get one parking space.
Dude you ARE CLEARLY Jackass of the Week.
Which might become a new segment here.

Naked duo in Portsmouth escorted back to strip poker party to retrieve clothes

Wednesday, May 19, 2010
PORTSMOUTH — Police responded to Islington Street in the early morning hours of Monday when a call about a naked woman running down the street resulted in authorities determining she was among two people who lost in a game of strip poker.

He said responding officers arrived to find a naked man and woman hiding behind a fence.
"They were playing a game of strip poker and the losers had to run around the block," McQuate said.

McQuate said officers arrived at the apartment to find people in various states of undress as a result of the game.

Nobody was charged in connection with the naked jaunt because it took place during an hour when they would not be seen by many people, according to McQuate.

This has never happened to me.....Thankfully....Although on occasion I have been in a group of friends spotted by Burger King personnel trying to order from the drive through on foot- and/or -without a car at nearly 2:00AM....Alcohol unfortunately was involved....

Sad Tragedy and Cool Deal

Sad Tragedy


I have something to say about this particular post; simply because it's tragic.

http://themorewretchedhiveofscumandvi.blogspot.com/2010/05/laugh-at-world-or-world-will-sit-on-you.html

As a general rule I don't say anything about the articles I post here. Most of the time they are inane articles about people doing silly or ridiculous stuff; either that or they are about things I think are important for people to know, politics or bad people or virus's or scams.

This particular article is kind of one of those things that goes under the heading of "preventable tragedy."

I found this in a little paper called "The Morning Sun" it serves Gratiot and Isabella counties in Michigan, I think:

http://www.themorningsun.com/articles/2010/05/21/news/doc4bf5ace492dd0394191867.txt

 

Now, to start off with, it was pretty ridiculous that someone would jump from a moving truck to buy cigarettes. Be honest, it is. But the end results are nothing but tragic and really is a morality lesson in restraint and moderation.

My family consisted of a lot of people who smoked. Most of who are dead. Some who are still alive but have either cut back considerably and some who just take those dice in their hands and are okay with what might come of their nicotine addiction. I, as a rule am not going to judge you because you smoke. On the contrary, I don't care if you smoke around me. I have been second hand smoking since the week after I was born.

I have my own vices.

I'm sarcastic.

I like beer.

I like to eat.

I like wine.

These things taken to extreme can get you in trouble. And at least once or twice I have taken them to an extreme.

But this particular article really brings home to me the thought that "Is it really that important?"

Think a bit. Your family is heartbroken; you have shortened what life you had left to live, all for something that could wait.

This person lived and died and had a family, people that loved them and gave it all up for a cigarette addiction.

Wow.

Now, I don't know if there was anything else going on that might have contributed to such extreme behavior. I know that once or twice in my life I have been in the midst of a heated argument with my family and wanted to just open the car door and jump out. But the whole thing about getting hurt or killing myself stopped me short. Not to mention I didn't want to end up in the news. All I have to say is, "Wow."

If you are that controlled by a substance, than maybe it's time to seek help. Because no one should die for want of a cigarette.

 

 

My heart goes out to her remaining family and may she rest in peace.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

New Puppy Teaches Congress Important Lesson About Responsibility

WASHINGTON, DC—Beltway insiders report that Buster, the 7-month-old yellow Labrador Congress was allowed to keep amid much controversy last spring, has taught the nation's legislators some valuable lessons about responsibility.

A bipartisan commission of legislators holds Buster on the Senate floor.

"The skeptics believed that the House and Senate weren't ready for a puppy," Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) said. "They believed we wouldn't be able to maintain America's defenses, regulate commerce, and pass laws while raising Buster. But we have proven them wrong. We feed him and walk him every day."

Frist referred to a bicameral duty roster ratified Jan. 31.

"Congress knows who's supposed to take Buster when," Frist said. "If it's your turn to walk him and he's found tied to a handrail outside the U.S. Capitol, you're in serious trouble."

U.S. citizens initially questioned Congress' ability to care for a pet.

Osceola County Home Broken Into, 17 Guns Stolen

Seventeen guns, tools, a brand new drill press, autographed memorabilia and even vintage designer handbags -- all stolen from an Osceola County home.

What gets me is this-
Seventeen guns? Holy Snikey's Batman! That's an impressive arsenal.
I bow to the higher fire power....
All I have is a hunting rifle next to my bed and a can of RAID wasp killer.
Of course, that's just what's next to my bed....I'm not tellin where the other guns, knives, and the Battle Flails with Spikes are hidden....That's my secret....

Tests and violence..and FROM THE DESK OF PETE YATES....Also...Aren't teeny tiny horses cute...Aren't they?

Thanks to my buddy Xig for this one!

Thank God they have finally diagnosed my condition!


A.A.A.D.D.

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS......PLEASE READ!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D.
:
Age
Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden .
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills
back
on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque book off the table,
and see that there is only one cheque left.
My extra cheque are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the
can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my cheques,
but first I need to push the Pepsi aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for
the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of
Pepsi sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....

Do me a favor.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it
to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

Bristol Palin to hit speakers' circuit

JUNEAU, Alaska —

Bristol Palin is hitting the speakers' circuit and will command between $15,000 and $30,000 for each appearance, Palin family attorney Thomas Van Flein said Monday.

I think this says it all: *Bristol Palin lives in Anchorage and works in a physician's office, Van Flein said.*
Why didn't she just stick her on a street corner with a sign around her neck "Five dollars for the first five minutes-after that a dollar fifty per minute." I'm telling you she's a national treasure.

Toronto woman sues Rogers after her affair is exposed

Rogers denies any responsibility for affair or consequences

A Toronto woman says the billing practices of Rogers Wireless Inc. led to her husband discovering her extramarital affair.

Now the woman, whose husband walked out, is suing the communications giant for $600,000 for alleged invasion of privacy and breach of contract, the results of which she says have ruined her life.


It's almost a Monty Python Sketch.

Whitehall Boy, 8, Saves Sister From Abduction Attempt

4-Year-Old Girl's Brother Wrestles Her From Attacker

MYRTLE BEACH, SC--

Police in Myrtle Beach, S.C., credit the quick actions of a caring brother for saving a young girl from an attempted abduction.

According to Erin Kuhns, the boy was able to wrestle his sister away from the would-be abductor.

"[Nathan] said, 'Mommy, I just kicked and I punched and I hit, and I just kept doing it,'" Kuhns told Channel 4 Action News' Shannon Perrine Sunday. "[The man] kept grabbing her, and he kept pulling her and kept trying to put her back in the car."

Nathan Kuhns was able to provide DNA evidence to police, because he scratched the man so severely.

Neither child was injured in the attempted abduction.

Myrtle Beach police have not made any arrests.

The family has since returned home from their vacation.

And the little boy beating the crap out of the abductor....Dang! Are these kids related to me?

One time my family went to an event and one of my relatives didn't like the way that this guy was treating his son and when the guy hauled off and abused the boy, my relative went into a rage. The guy then attempted to reciprocate their hostility by becoming violent with them. Bad move, because once he had tipped over one of my family's drinks all stops were open and my entire family began beating the crap out of the guy.

At this time, being as my dad is a super-villain, he knew enough to depart the premises swiftly before the law arrived.

"I don't know who those people are- but they sure are making a mess out of that guy aren't they? "

Woman Jumps from Moving Truck
A Shepherd woman is in the hospital after she tried jumping out of a moving pickup in Isabella County. It happened Sunday night on South Shepherd Road in Coe Township. Deputies say Jacklin Faber told the man driving she wanted to turn around to get cigarettes.

That's a good reason right there...

Well, honestly....Who can blame her...

The nuptials at this ceremony were led by "I-Fairy," a 4-foot tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic pigtails. Sunday's wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot, according to manufacturer Kokoro Co.

"Please lift the bride's veil," the robot said in a tinny voice, waving its arms in the air as the newlyweds kissed in front of about 50 guests.

The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo, where the I-Fairy wore a wreath of flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony. Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away, where a man crouched and clicked commands into a computer.

Later Godzilla and Gamera ( who is really neat and made of turtle meat )made toasts to the happy couple....(We believe in Gam-er-a).

From The Desk of PETE YATES!!!

China clears murderer after 'victim' shows up alive

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8671577.stm

A Chinese man who spent almost 10 years in jail for murder has been freed after his supposed victim was found alive.

Zhao Zuohai had a fight with his neighbour, who then disappeared, and was charged when a headless, decomposed body was found 18 months later.

That's some wicked anger management issues going on there.

The miscarriage of justice came to light when the neighbour, Zhao Zhenshang, returned to his village in Henan province to seek welfare support.

Then who's headless, decomposing body was that?

He had fled after their fight because he feared he had killed Zhao Zuohai.

What? Is it their Zhoa lucky day?

Mr Zhao's conviction for murder was reportedly based mainly on a confession.

His brother said police had forced him to drink chilli-tainted water and set off fireworks above his head in order to make him confess

That's the way our brother's use to make us check the basement back door....Ooo, spooky!

Man dressed as Snoopy in 'worst attempted jail-break ever'

A man who tried to break into prison to free an inmate while dressed as the cartoon character Snoopy is being held under the Mental Health Act.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/7704213/Man-dressed-as-Snoopy-in-worst-attempted-jail-break-ever.html

Prison wardens were baffled when they were confronted by the character from the Peanuts cartoon trying to break down a staff door while apparently waving a gun.

The man and an accomplice, who were attempting to free a relative from HMP Isle of Wight, went on to hurl concrete missiles at prison officers' cars.

A prison source told The Sun: "It's not every day you see a giant cartoon dog go on the rampage after trying to break into a prison. They weren't exactly inconspicuous but they were taken seriously because they appeared to have a gun.

Weird News From AOL : kind of an oxymoron....

Updated: 7 hours 13 minutes ago


David Moye Contributor

(May 10) -- Elvis Presley might be alive today if only he had a little less constipation and a lot more action.

That's the straight poop from Dr. George Nichopoulos, 83, who served as Presley's private physician from 1967 until his untimely death on his toilet seat in 1977. The cause was widely reported as cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, possibly brought on by drug dependency, obesity and a weak heart.

Mother of 15 charged after leaving 3-year-old girl at Walmart

County gets custody of child and 10 minor siblings

Police charged a Northside woman with endangering children after she left her 3-year-old in a Walmart store Thursday night and didn't realize the girl was missing until Friday morning, when a relative told her she had seen the child on the news, according to the official complaint filed Friday in Hamilton County court.

Louisville man going to prison for tattoo on tot

 

CANTON —
Whatever his reasoning, Lee M. Deitrick thought it wise to tattoo a toddler's bottom.

It wasn't even his child.

Now the 20-year-old Louisville man has learned his punishment. He was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison.

Deitrick pleaded guilty in Stark County Common Pleas Court to two felony child endangering charges as part of a plea deal with county prosecutors.

Deitrick tattooed the outline of the letter "A" on the child's buttock. The mark covers about one-half inch.Deitrick watched the child  — whose name begins with "A" — often, O'Byrne said.

"There was no malice," he said. "More of an error in judgment."


His 3-year term will start after he completes his current prison sentence for previous, unrelated convictions. He had been released early for felony domestic violence and misdemeanor violating a protection order convictions. That 18-month prison term was reimposed in February.

SNOPES!!! Take care....B-ware


http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/bottlebomb.asp


The email warning was sent out by Washtenaw County Sheriff's Deputy Keith Mansell in April 2010 after he discovered two Drano {or "works"} bombs left in the yards of residents of York Township, Michigan.
These concoctions of Drano brand drain cleaner (i.e., sodium hydroxide), water, and aluminum foils in plastic bottles can indeed produce quite a dangerous explosion.
