It’s Still Real To Them, Dammit!
I think that by now, most folks (children excluded of course) know what pro wrestling is. I hate to use the phrase sports entertainment, but it’s pretty accurate. There was a time when it was treated more like sport than entertainment by pretty much everyone, but in America, those days are mostly long gone. I …
The Amish Aren’t Overly Keen On Seeing Your Paradise, Sir
It’s not often that a serial public masturbation story boasts logic anywhere near this sound. That’s not to say it was the best idea anyone’s ever had (not even close), but grading on the usual intelligence curve, it’s pretty clear that Benjamin Grafius at least took some time to think things out. Police say a …

I’ll Send A GPS To The World. So Will I. Me Too
One moron robbing a store while wearing his court-ordered GPS tracking monitor is bad, but not overly surprising. I mean there’s one in every crowd, right? Two morons robbing a store while wearing their court-ordered GPS monitors is certainly worse, but maybe moron one has a buddy just as dim as he is, moron two …

I Feel Like We Don’t Know Each Other Anymore

Are You Ok Sir? You Look A Little Pail
I don’t know how much anti-drug education has changed since I was in school, but if the powers that be were smart (big if sometimes), instead of all the lame just say no stuff, they would sit the children down and explain to them that if they get too out of their minds on something …
Tell The Jackwagons We’re Ready For The Paddy Wagon
And now, another case of nobody’s looking for you, dude. Authorities in Idaho have released a 911 phone call that resulted in a drug trafficking arrest. The call, released by the Rexburg Police Department, details an incident nearly a year ago on Jan. 23, 2015, when two out-of-state drug traffickers got high and called police …

Sir, Which Of The Things We Found In Your Car Did You Say You Were Named After Again?
There are a number of reasons why I might want to post this story. Our hero speeding past a couple of cops sitting in front of a police station so he could get to court on time is one. Double parking in spaces he’s not supposed to park in in the first place once he …
Goodbye Philippines, And Everywhere Else, Too
There’s drunk, there’s really drunk, and then, apparently, there’s let’s hug this enormous New Year’s Eve firecracker as it’s about to go off drunk. A drunk man died after he embraced a giant firecracker called Goodbye Philippines as it was about to explode, health secretary Janet Garin told reporters. “His jaw was shattered. He was …
