Raggedy Ann Kitty?

Chris — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:29:08 +0000

I guess this is the after Halloween picture of a cat that did just a little too much partying yesterday! This kitty needs a nap so bad she forgot to take off her Raggedy Ann wig.

I’ll bet this cat looked great in the wig – it goes well with it’s white fur coat, doesn’t it?

Ok so come on … who dressed up their pets yesterday for Halloween? Pictures please!

Man tries to eat evidence in pot bust

Chris — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:01:47 +0000

An Upstate New York man has been charged with evidence tampering after he was busted for growing marijuana and then trying to eat the evidence!

Jeremy Wheeler and his father William were arrested on Sunday evening after deputies found 116 pot plants growing in the sons home. Jeremy tried to eat some of the plants while he was being booked.

I don’t know if he was high when he was arrested, but how could he have even thought about eating the evidence … I mean, there were 116 plants in the house – how could you eat them all – in front of the cops? LOL

Man moons railway staffers and then gets dragged by train – Ironic!

Talk about Ironic – a German man who was mooning railway staff in a departing train got his pants caught in a carriage door and ended up being dragged half naked along the platform, out of the station and then onto the tracks.

The 22 year old, a journalism student, had shoved his backside against the window of a low slung double-decker train when staff forced him off in Lauenbrueck for traveling without a ticket.

“It’s a miracle he wasn’t badly hurt,” the spokesman said on Monday. “This sort of thing can end up killing you.”

Instead, dangling by his trousers, the man got pulled along for about 200 meters, all the while managing to keep his legs away from the wheels of the train.

The ordeal ended when a passenger pulled the emergency brake. Rescues services were called in, causing rail services between Bremen and Hamburg to be suspended for over an hour, delaying 23 trains.

The man faces charges of dangerous interference in rail transport, insulting train staff and he could face a sizable compensation claim for the delays that he caused.

It looks like Karma gave him a swift kick in the seat of his pants …er almost bare behind.

45 year old woman lived with a corpse

A Texas woman, 45, has been committed for mental evaluation after living in an apartment in Big Sandy for at least a week with her dead boyfriend’s body.

Police were flagged down last Friday by a man who stated that there was a stench coming from his sister’s apartment.

When police entered the apartment they found 50 year old William Drake dead on a couch. He appeared to have been dead at least a week. The woman apparently didn’t want to leave the apartment.

Burr said Drake died of natural causes and had recently stopped his dialysis treatments. He said Drake had lived for 10 years with the woman, who had been hospitalized for mental illness before. Burr declined to reveal her name.

A real Pothead arrested

It looks like the Lebanon, Pa police have nabbed a real pothead – in every sense of the description!

An officer spotted Cesar Lopez, 29, inside a convenience store with a bag of marijuana stuck to his forehead.

Lopez was peering inside his baseball cap and when he looked up, the officer noticed a small plastic bag which appeared to contain marijuana stuck to his forehead.

The officer walked up to Lopez and peeled the bag off of Lopez’s forehead and placed him under arrest for drug possession.

I guess he was hiding the pot in his cap!

Beer theft on Canadian plane disrupts flight

Chris — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 09:00:16 +0000

I think the following story could only happen in Canada (ok maybe Germany as well). Naturally it involves beer – our favorite beverage!

Usually when a plane makes an unscheduled stop it’s because there’s a fire onboard, it has engine trouble or there’s some kind of medical emergency … but not in Canada! Nope! A beer theft on board an Air Canada Jazz flight on Tuesday caused the plane to divert.

Even the Mounties got involved!

Steve Holmes, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable told AFP that a passenger had stolen beer from a beverage cart and then tried to flush the empty cans down the jet’s toilet in order to dispose of the evidence. (Yeah like him wobbling around the craft drunk wouldn’t be noticed!)

The flight from Vancouver to Fort McMurray, Alberta was diverted to Kelowna, British Columbia, and police arrested the 23-year-old suds thief.

The man now faces charges of causing a disturbance on an aircraft, Holmes said.

Well folks, now you know what will happen if you steal booze on a Canadian flight!

Boy thought to be in the Balloon that got away is home safe

Chris — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:09:16 +0000

Earlier today a story about a boy that was thought to have stepped into a huge home-made balloon was making International headlines. Fortunately, the 6 year old Colorado boy was found hiding in a cardboard box in his families garage attic.

Apparently the family had made a giant silver coated balloon and when it floated away from the families yard early this morning the family couldn’t find their young son so they assumed the boy had walked into the balloon and was trapped inside as it floated up to 7,000 feet in the air!

A frantic rescue operation took place that involved military helicopters and briefly shut down the Denver International Airport!

The boy’s father, Richard Heeney, said the family was tinkering with the balloon Thursday and that he scolded Falcon, the young boy who’d been presumed missing, for getting inside a compartment on the craft. He said Falcon’s brother had seen him inside the compartment before it took off and that’s why they thought he was in there when it launched.

But the boy fled to the attic at some point after the scolding and was never in the balloon during its two-hour, 50-mile journey through two counties. “I yelled at him. I’m really sorry I yelled at him,” Heene said as he hugged his son during a news conference.

“I was in the attic and he scared me because he yelled at me,” Falcon said. “That’s why I went in the attic.”

The balloon looks a bit like a flying saucer. It tipped precariously a few times before it eventually glided to the ground in a field. When the child wasn’t found inside the balloon or near it’s place of landing investigators began searching the balloons path. Apparently several people had reported seeing something fall from the craft while it was in the air, so I presume the searchers thought that the boy had fallen out of the balloon.

Apparently the boys parents are Storm Chasers and “When the Heene family aren’t chasing storms, they devote their time to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm,”.

While the balloon was airborne, Colorado Army National Guard sent a UH-58 Kiowa helicopter and was preparing to send a Black Hawk UH-60 to try to rescue the boy, possibly by lowering someone to the balloon. They also were working with pilots of ultralight aircraft on the possibility of putting weights on the homemade craft to weigh it down.

It wasn’t immediately clear how much the search operation cost. Capt. Troy Brown said the Black Hawk helicopter was in the air for nearly three hours, and the Kiowa helicopter was airborne for about one hour. The Black Hawk costs about $4,600 an hour to fly, and the Kiowa is $700 an hour, Brown said.

While the balloon was afloat and rescue operations were underway the FAA canceled all northbound takeoffs between 1 pm and 1:15 pm (the balloon was about 15 miles northwest of the airport in that time period). Prior to the departure shutdown, controllers had been vectoring planes taking off in that direction away from the balloon.

Portable Church or Wedding chapel?

Chris — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:04:48 +0000

I’m trying to figure out exactly what this is …

a portable Church or maybe a portable Wedding chapel?

I think it would be really cool if it was a wedding chapel … you could call ahead and have the “church” come to your home for a quickie wedding.

LOL I’m sure that would appeal to some folks!

What do you think this is?

Have camper will travel …

Chris — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:50:23 +0000

This has got to be one of the smallest campers that I’ve ever seen. All you need is a bike to tow it and you’re set – have mini-camper, will travel. LOL

I wonder if the bed is lengthwise or width-wise?

If the bed is width length then only small people would sleep comfortably in that camper.

Anyone tall would have to curl up in a fetal position or drape their legs over the side.

Have you ever seen something like this?

Dream Treehouse!

Chris — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 03:17:06 +0000

Man, wouldn’t you have loved to have a tree house like this when you were a kid!

I sure would have – who wouldn’t?

Geez … this isn’t a play house – it’s a real house in a tree!

It looks like it has three rooms – a main one, a loft and uh … what’s that on the upper right?

A bathroom (outhouse)? LOL
