Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
This is the best one of these yet, and by an extremely wide margin at that.
Arrested on Tuesday and charged with public indecency after exposing himself and touching an undercover police officer in a local park is 90-year-old
Leonard G. Dickman.
I’m not sure if that can ever be topped, but I’ll try.
Wow, USB gadgets are making a further descent into tackyville. You can now get a His ‘n’ Hers USB gift set.
Wanna know what’s in the men’s set? A mini vacuum cleaner with brush, why in hell you would wire a vacuum up to a computer I don’t know, a desk lamp, a cup warmer and a mood light pen holder whatever that is.
Now, for absolutely tacktastic, the women’s set has the vacuum and pen holder, but they get a fan and lighted mirror and it comes in, how did the author put it? “A feminine-apparently-shade of plastic pink?” Ooo! Sounds like a must have, doesn’t it? Not.
Ug, the inventor of the first USB gadget created a monster.
Not far from where we live, there’s this little fruit stand. The guy sells all kinds of fresh fruit, and apparently Trixie loves going there, because when she sees the stand, she’s bound and determined that we go there. There’s no way I’ll pass there without her stopping and pointing her nose at it as if to say, “Are we going in?”
Anyway, I bought blueberries from him today, and man they’re addictive! I’ll open the door of the fridge to get something else, and my hand will be magnetically drawn to the basket of blueberries, and before I know it, I’ve stolen a handfull of them. Yummy!
Well, that was a pointless post, wasn’t it?
Remember when Britain instituted CCTV’s to watch and listen to pedestrians, and then made it possible for police to yell at them? Remember what their reasoning was? It was so the streets would be safer. Well, mission far from accomplished.
On the street with over 100 cameras watching it, the crime rate is far from low. There have been 430 offenses committed on Big Brother Avenue, er, Holloway Road over the past six months including serious assaults, robberies and burglaries.
Having all those cameras actually makes things harder for police because they have to watch footage from every single camera. Duh.
Way to go, guys, way to make the streets safer for you and me.
There are so many questions I have about this story. Where do I begin?
How in hell is something that is 1 foot tall weighing 200 pounds? I cannot imagine how you could pack so much weight into such a small space. No wonder when it is low on power, it returns to its dock to recharge. Who’s going to drag it there?
If it checks on your children to see if they’re doing their homework, how does it know if they are or aren’t? I assume you have to see what it’s seeing. And if you’re busy watching it, why don’t you just get up and check on them yourself? I’m sure you could be far more helpful with math than ten-ton one-foot Louie over there.
And how much does this one-foot wonder cost? They never mentioned that.
This is just weird. I’m having some serious IRobot visions. NS5’s anyone?
This Brazilian plane crash belongs in an episode of Mayday. Let’s count the horrible happenings.
Now, some director of engineering is claiming that this was not due to rain. Yep, whatever you say, chief. How much are they paying you to say that?
Wanna know something else scary? This is apparently the worst crash in their country’s history, only by a margin of about 35 deaths. They’ve had several other serious crashes this year.
And here’s the scary icing on the cake for me. I have friends who are going to Brazil in the near future! Let’s just hope they get home alive.
Ok, why in the blue bloody christ is Peter Whitmore getting offered a plea deal? Why why why why why? Somebody tell me why! Please? Now!
Ok, now that I’ve got the incoherent brain-rattling rage down on paper, let me try and write like a rational human being. He kidnapped a kid from Manitoba, sexually assaulted him, caused another local kid to go missing, did who knows what to him, and before that, he had been convicted of sexually assaulting children. These convictions go back years! How many? Try going back 14 years, to 1993! He’s been busted, released, promptly re-busted, released, lather, rinse, repeat! Wanna see details of why this man should rot in jail forever? Read this timeline. If that’s not a dangerous offender, by christ I don’t know what is.
Dear old director of prosecution Murray Brown says he’s doing it for the good of these kids. I get that it’s hard to go on the stand about this, and defense lawyers can be assholes, but how is it benefitting greater society to give him a plea deal that is a life sentence allowing him to apply for parole in a measley 7 years? He’s already been jailed for 5 and that didn’t deter him. What’s another 2? I know it’s only the possibility of parole, but it’s still there! If you’re a dangerous offender, it’s a hell of a lot harder to get out.
The part that really burns me up is when Brown says he’s doing this plea deal thing to spare the kids from testifying. Then he says it would also short circuit a lengthy dangerous offender hearing. Uh-huh. That’s the real reason, isn’t it, Mr. Brown? Maybe the reason this bugs me so much is often times, when my dad wanted to do something, if he didn’t get his own way, he’d then say he was doing it for the sake of us kids. I know it’s a comparison to something much more trivial, but that kind of bullshit always bugged the hell out of me.
I’m finding myself without an ending for this post, except to say that if the families were promised that he would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and this is the fullest extent of the law, we have a sad justice system. But is this news to anyone? How much do you want to bet that when he is next paroled, he molests another kid? He’s only 36. He won’t be that old when he gets out.
>I want you all to try to listen to this song and tell me whether or not you think Serena Ryder sounds like a sheep.
“Would you mind if I got drunk and said I want to take you home to baaaaaaahed?”
I’ve seen me some stupid people on Family Feud before, but I don’t remember anything that comes close to topping
these guys.
What I can’t figure out is how they made it to Fast Money. that means they had to have won, which seems impossible. And if they won, that means that the people they beat could very well have been worse, which also seems impossible.

>Back in October 2005, I posted a story about a Romanian prison inmate who
filed suit against God,
claiming that the lord took bribes, didn’t help him in his time of need, and was in many other ways pretty much a no good scumbag. Well, after almost 2 years, there’s finally an update.
Prosecutors in Timisoara, where the claim was filed, have decided to drop the case because
God doesn’t seem to have a home address and they can’t locate him.
And before anybody asks, no, I have no idea how or why it took 21 months to sort this out.
