They Made Black-And-White TVs Longer Than I Thought

I didn’t expect myself to watch all 12 plus minutes of this, but here I am, having just finished it. It brought back some memories for me. I owned a few of these little TVs in my time. Not these exact ones as I recall although the name Spectra is ringing bells for some reason, …

Billie Joe Armstrong, Music Playing Kid

Here’s something I didn’t know. When Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day was little, he traveled around singing at retirement homes. Apparently he was liked well enough that when he was five years old, his music teachers helped convince an independent record label to put out one of his songs, Look for Love. Tell me …

That’s Not Even My Dong, Man

Telling the police that you don’t own the shirt or pants or jacket you’re wearing that just so happen to be stuffed with weapons or drugs or whatever is highly suspect, but at least it’s the smallest bit plausible. It might even be true once every couple million times. Trying that with the two bags …

I think I may use this argument the next time I’m stuck listening to some goober prattling on about his god given immune system being his vaccine. Heaven knows whether it’ll work …

All Jacked Up And NO Place To Go

If you’re going to steal a set of new tires, you could do worse than targeting a car dealership. Those places are, after all, a rich source of new tires. But it’s worth remembering that they also tend to be a rich source of security systems, which means that should your acquisition mission be successful, …

I’ll Be Right There, Officer. Just Dropping Off The Bail Money

Good idea: Ditching the money as quickly as possible after robbing a bank. Not so hot: Ditching the money by running outside and depositing it into your own account via the ATM attached to the building. State police arrested McRoberts Williams Saturday after they say he robbed the Wells Fargo on Old Capitol Trail at …

Good Luck In Life, Kid. I’d Say Break A Leg, But…

Reading this, my mind goes back and forth between two thoughts. As someone who grew up around my share of irresponsible drunks, I kind of hope this motherfucker never drives or sees his kid again. But the way that Canada and the U.S. treat these things, I imagine he’s already doing both regularly. As someone …
