"But I have a designated driver, even if he is 5"

Intoxicated mom busted after letting five-year-old son be her chauffeur


LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- When a car came speeding around her street corner Saturday night, Wendy Barrett of Lafayette assumed it was a delivery driver running late.
What she found still troubles her.
"It was just bizarre," Barrett said of finding a 5-year-old boy driving his seemingly impaired mother and stopping on Barrett's property.
"I asked, 'Is this toddler driving your car?' She said, 'He's a good driver.' "
The mother, Holly L. Schnobrich, 24, of Lafayette, was charged Tuesday in Tippecanoe Circuit Court with two counts of Class D felony neglect and public intoxication.
The 5-year-old and a 3-year-old son also in the vehicle were taken by the Department of Child Services. Schnobrich has been in the Tippecanoe County Jail since her arrest early Sunday. She is being held on a $10,000 surety bond. According to a probable cause affidavit filed with the charges, Tippecanoe County sheriff's deputies were called Saturday night to the Saddlebrook subdivision east of Lafayette after neighbors reported finding the 5-year-old behind the wheel.
Barrett said Wednesday that the children were in their pajamas but did not appear hurt or distraught. Neither child was restrained; there were two safety seats in the back seat.
Another neighbor removed the car keys so Schnobrich -- whom Barrett said had asked them not the call police -- could not get away.
"For the safety of the children ... if that boy really had been driving, I just wonder for how long?" Barrett said. "She just didn't seem right."
Schnobrich told investigators that she would take Percocet, a prescription painkiller, to calm down when her children acted up, according to the affidavit.
Police also found a near-empty bottle of sleeping pills that Schnobrich said she bought just two days prior.
The 5-year-old told a sheriff's deputy that he had been driving but was "having a hard time because I can't reach the pedals."
Deputy prosecutor Laura Zeman said Schnobrich had pleaded guilty Aug. 21 in Tippecanoe Superior Court 6 on an unrelated charge of misdemeanor operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
The prosecutor's office filed a motion Wednesday to have Schnobrich's probation in that case revoked.
Her attorney on those charges, Brett Gibson of Lafayette, declined comment Wednesday since he had not been retained to represent her on the new charges.

Woman Pleads Guilty In Blood-Drinking Sex Encounter

PHOENIX -- A woman pleaded guilty Friday to tying up a man during sex, slashing him with a knife and telling him she liked to drink blood. Tiffany Sutton, 23, (Shown here with her original husband Count Chocula) originally pleaded not guilty to nine counts of aggravated assault. On Friday, she changed her plea, pleading guilty to one count of aggravated assault and one count of dangerous aggravated assault. Sutton was arrested Feb. 13 outside the Tempe home she'd been sharing with Robert McDaniel. Sutton claimed the two were living together, but McDaniel told police Sutton was a transient who'd been staying at his place for a few days. McDaniel told police that he'd consented to being tied up during sex but became scared when Sutton attacked him with a knife.
Sutton used multiple knives to stab McDaniel seven times in the torso and slash him twice. When she cut his inner leg, McDaniel screamed, "What are you doing?"
Sutton told him she liked to drink blood.
McDaniel freed himself and ran from the house, only to be chased by Sutton with a pickax.
By the time police arrived, McDaniel had passed out. Sutton initially told officers she was the victim. Before he was taken away in an ambulance to be treated for his injuries, McDaniel identified Sutton as his attacker. Sutton then claimed the entire encounter was consensual.
Sutton and McDaniel admitted to police that they had consumed alcohol and drugs prior to the attack. After Sutton changed her plea, the judge set a Sept. 28 sentencing date.

Naked Man Does Hula, Steals Beer at Store

DE SOTO, Mo. - The naked truth: Three eastern Missouri men were willing to go to extreme lengths to get some beer.
That's the accusation after an incident in the early hours of August 18th at Fish's Quick Stop in De Soto. Store clerk Vicky Gaines says a masked man walked in and began doing the hula dance.
Police say the plan was for the naked dancer to create a distraction while another man took a case of beer from the store. It didn't work.
Gaines called police. As the naked man and his accomplice joined a third man in a car, a customer got their license plate number. All three were caught a few days later.
The men, ages 19 to 23, face charges of shoplifting and indecent exposure.

Helmsley will: $12M trust for dog, nothing for 2 grandkids


NEW YORK (AP) -- Leona Helmsley's dog will continue to live an opulent life, and then be buried alongside her in a mausoleum. But two of Helmsley's grandchildren got nothing from the late luxury hotelier and real estate billionaire's estate. Helmsley left her beloved white Maltese, named Trouble, a $12 million trust fund, according to her will, which was made public Tuesday in surrogate court.
She also left millions for her brother, Alvin Rosenthal, who was named to care for Trouble in her absence, as well as two of four grandchildren from her late son Jay Panzirer -- so long as they visit their father's grave site once each calendar year.
Otherwise, she wrote, neither will get a penny of the $5 million she left for each of them. Helmsley left nothing to two of Jay Panzirer's other children -- Craig and Meegan Panzirer -- for "reasons that are known to them," she wrote. But no one made out better than Trouble, who once appeared in ads for the Helmsley Hotels, and lived up to her name by biting a housekeeper. "I direct that when my dog, Trouble, dies, her remains shall be buried next to my remains in the Helmsley mausoleum," Helmsley wrote in her will. She became known as a symbol of 1980s greed and earned the nickname "the Queen of Mean" after her 1988 indictment and subsequent conviction for tax evasion. One employee had quoted her as snarling, "Only the little people pay taxes."

Check out brew crew fat boys.

Craig: I did nothing 'inappropriate' in airport bathroom, and the Brew Crew believes him!!!!

We can not believe this could possibly happen to the Senator...yes we read the police report....

"The senator then tapped his right foot, "a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct," Karsnia wrote, and Craig ran his left hand several times underneath the partition dividing the stalls.
"The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area," the officer's report said.
When the police interviewed him later, the senator said that "he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom" and that was why his foot may have touched the officer's, the report said.
Craig also told police that he had reached down to the floor to pick up a piece of paper, the officer wrote.
"It should be noted that there was not a piece of paper on the bathroom floor, nor did Craig pick up a piece of paper," Karsnia wrote".

But the Brew Crew can assure you that none of this happened when the senator guest performed with us in our 20th annual "Village People" extravaganza!!!!!

Boy, That did'nt take long...........

17 year old kid "Hacks" the new I-Phone......and you can too...........

A New York teenager has figured how to separate the iPhone from AT&T's cellular network, but he says it isn't a simple task. Seventeen-year-old George Hotz says getting the gadget to work with T mobile, the only other US carrier compatible with the iPhone, requires skills with software and soldering. Once that work is done, the iPhone can be connected to the T-mobile network with a SIM card from a T-mobile account. Figuring out how to do all that took Hotz and a group of online collaborators about 500 hours, or eight days from the iPhone's June 29th launch. Now, knowing what to do, it takes Hotz about two hours to perform the task, anddetails have been made public. But Hotz warns that any missteps in the process could render the expensive phone useless. And he also says he doesn't want people to buy the phones simply to unlock them and send them overseas for a profit. Hotz had put the unlocked iPhone up for sale on eBay, but ended up trading it for a car and 3 iPhones. The unlocked iPhone went to the founder of the company Certicel

The Call is Finally Answered: The Brew Crew to be the next 'American Gladiators'


Good news today for everyone who really, really wanted to witness the return of “American Gladiators” – and, apparently, there were about 384 of you who wish to see the Brew Crew as the next American Gladiators.
NBC announced today that it is reviving the campy late ’80s-early ’90s Brew Crew vs. Goliath classic competition with a new version called “Brewdiators” that will premiere in the middle of the new TV season.
It isn’t clear if Mike Adamle, Larry Csonka or Todd Christensen will return as hosts, or if any of the old “Gladiators” will show up – what are Nitro, Malibu and Zappy up to, these days, anyway? – but NBC said the new version will be “a fresh, modern reinvention for the 21st Century. Using splashy twists including special effects, water skills and the latest technology, the classic games will be upgraded with even higher thrills, impact, energy and spectacle.”
Higher energy and spectacle than “Powerball”? Really? Beer Drinking Games?
NBC said the new show will include classic games, including “The Joust,” “The Wall” and “The Eliminator,” "The Chugg a Lug", and run from Sphiggy!! but new twists will show the contestants training for the challenges and will allow for viewers to get to know the challengers’ stories.
Stories, schmories … let’s see people get smacked with an oversized Q-Tip!

Peeping Tom caught in the act

Campers capture and tie peeper to tree

A group of adults camping at the Big Fan Campground near the Badby Hot Springs in Estacada apprehended a male subject on Saturday night who was watching female campers in an open latrine location in the camping area.
When the group of campers caught the alleged “peeper” trying to escape, one of the campers chased him and brought him to the ground. The group then returned him to their campsite and tied the suspect to a tree until the authorities could be notified.
While waiting for the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office the suspect, later identified as 63-year-old Richard Henry Berkey of Beaverton, admitted to engaging in this type of behavior for the last 15 years as somewhat of a hobby.
Especially alarming to the campers is they caught Berkey peeping last year in this very same camping area, and on almost the very same day.
This incident from last year was reported to law-enforcement; however, the circumstances surrounding this prior event discouraged the group from pursuing criminal charges.
Berkley was also discovered to be in possession of maps for the following areas of interest to investigators: Gifford-Pinchot National Forest (Washington); the Deschutes National Forest; Tillamook National Forest, and the Willamette National Forest.
Berkey was transported to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Jail, cited and released for the charge of private indecency. Berkey is commanded to appear in the Clackamas County Circuit Court to appear on this matter on September 18 at 3:00 p.m.

Beer Banned in Rensselaer, N.Y. Firehouses

By KENNETH C. CROWE II Staff Writer

The Times Union (Albany, New York)

RENSSELAER - A century-old tradition of firefighters drinking beer in the city's firehouses died Wednesday night when the Common Council voted 6 to 1 to ban alcohol on city property due to safety and liability issues.

The action came in response to the State Liquor Authority finding beer was sold without a license in two of the three city firehouses during a check in July. The inspections were made after residents complained."We know what the tradition has been in this city," said Councilwoman Pat Jackson, who sponsored the resolution. "I'm very sorry to have to do this." Councilman William Lithgow recalled his days as a volunteer when a beer was enjoyed in the social rooms. "We had the soda machines going with the beer bottles in the machines," Lithgow said. "But that was a different time. If we're going to be a first-class city, we're going to have to change our culture."

About 50 people attended the meeting at which firefighters spoke for and against the resolution.Assistant Fire Chief Michael Stammel, who represents the city on the Rensselaer County Legislature, called the move a knee-jerk reaction. Stammel said the city is telling its volunteers, "We're not going to offer you anything any more." He unsuccessfully urged the council to hold a hearing.

The Rensselaer City Fire Department uses both paid and volunteer personnel. Volunteers maintain friction between the paid personnel and the volunteers played a role in the SLA's inspection. The social areas are used by volunteers.

Capt. James Hammond of Engine 2 said drinking is part of socializing for the volunteers. Capt. Robert Fink of Engine 4 supported the council. "As a taxpayer, please take the alcohol from the firehouses," Fink said. Daniel and Margaret Zukowski told the council they contacted the SLA.

Margaret Zukowski, who ran unsuccessfully for the council two years ago, said she had concerns about people leaving the firehouses and driving after drinking. Councilwoman Scarlet Palermo cast the only vote against the resolution, saying it was politically motivated.

Voting for the ban were Jackson, Lithgow, Albertine Felts, Lillian Dominski, Richard Mooney and Council President Charles Hall. Absent were Kimberli Conger, Dominick Tagliento and Brian Stall.

Police Need a Hand to Find Stolen Limbs

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa - Police are looking for a hand well, actually an arm and a leg in solving the theft of prosthetic limbs from a local business. The prosthetic arm and leg were taken about a month ago from Tom Leisure Prosthetics in Clear Lake, police said.
Leisure said the limbs, which belonged to different women, have a total value of nearly $30,000. But he said the cost goes well beyond the monetary value.
"You can't assign a price tag to being able to walk or to function," he said.
While the limbs haven't been found, the arm has been replaced. Dorothy Wolfe, of Emmetsburg, the customer who ordered the leg, is still waiting.
"Why would someone do this?" she asked. "I have no idea what's in their mind."
Nonetheless, Wolfe said she was able to see the humor in what police believe is a bad prank.
"I thought it was funny," she said. "It cost an arm and a leg."

Bill Murray: Drunken driving in a golf cart?

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing to take a breath test, citing U.S. law.
Police officers spotted the 56-year-old actor-comedian early Sunday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.
"He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation," Holmlund told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "So we applied the old method -- a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in." Bill,
who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court, Holmlund said. "Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America," Holmlund said.
He said Murray would only be charged if tests show his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit, which is quite low in Sweden. Holmlund said it wasn't clear where Murray picked up the vehicle, or to whom it belonged. "It was a golf cart. How it ended up in this predicament I don't know," he said, adding that Murray wasn't facing any theft charges. It isn't illegal to drive a golf cart in city traffic in Sweden, but Holmlund said it is very unusual. "I have done this since '68 and I've never experienced anything like this," he said.

www.myfreeimplants.com

Hooter Heaven- Is Jason Grunstra's MyFreeImplants.com the answer to some women's dreams -- or just to those who want to see them naked?

Yet another (strange) use for the internet:

Thus the concept of "MyFreeImplants.com" was born, and it stayed with Grunstra even after he returned home from Las Vegas and sobered up. The idea was simple: Set up a Web site to raise money for women who want breast implants. The women pose for photographs on the site, and so-called benefactors pay for the right to look — and to "interact," as Grunstra puts it, via email and blog posts. Just two years later, Grunstra claims the site has over 10,000 benefactors and one thousand women competing for their attention and their dollars. He says 28 women have already made their goal and are featured prominently on the site in before and after photos. A dollar goes toward the women's goal; 25 cents goes to Grunstra and the site. Grunstra says the site has more than 5 million page-views a month, brings in $1,000 a day, and generates a monthly profit of about $3,000.

Bears eat man at beer festival

BELGRADE, Serbia (Reuters) -- A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.

The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.

"There's a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage," zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.

Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans.

Pet Camel Kills Australian Woman

Police suspect camel mating behavior

BRISBANE, Australia - An Australian woman was killed by a pet camel given to her as a 60th birthday present, police said Sunday.
The woman, whose name has not been released, was killed Saturday at her family sheep and cattle ranch near Mitchell, 350 miles west of the Queensland state capital Brisbane, state police Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory said.
The 10-month-old male _ weighing about 330 pounds _ had knocked her to the ground then lay on top of her in what police suspect was mating behavior, Gregory said.
Camel expert Chris Hill agreed with Gregory.
Hill, who has offered camel rides to tourists for 20 years, said young camels are not aggressive but can be dangerous if treated as pets without discipline.
The woman was given the hand-reared camel in March as a birthday present from her husband and daughter.
The fate of the camel is not known.
An autopsy of the woman will determine the precise cause of death within days.

Cops Get Rocket Launcher in Gun-Shoe Exchange

ORLANDO, Fla. - Police were hoping for a good turnout at their "Kicks for Guns" sneaker exchange Friday, but they weren't expecting to get a surface-to-air missile launcher.
An Ocoee man showed up and exchanged the 4-foot-long launcher for size-3 Reebok sneakers for his daughter, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Taking advantage of the exchange's no-questions-asked policy, the man was not identified. He told the Orlando Sentinel that he found the weapon in a shed he tore down last week.
"I didn't know what to do with it, so I brought it here," he told the newspaper. "I took it to three dumps to try to get rid of it and they told me to get lost."
Besides the missile launcher police collected more than 250 guns. They were all exchanged for sneakers or $50 gift certificates.

Accused Says He Was Just Milking Goat

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) -- A man accused of having sex with a goat is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday on a animal cruelty charge. Charging papers say a witness saw 63-year-old Arthur Lawton having sex with a goat May 8th in a barn at Eatonville's Pioneer Farm Museum where he worked.
Lawton said he was trying to milk the goat.
Lawton missed a scheduled arraignment on August 3rd but turned himself in last night to Pierce County sheriff's deputies.
He's the second person charged in the county since the Legislature made bestiality a crime in response to the fatal injury to a man having sex with a horse in Enumclaw.
A man accused of having sex with the family pit bull dog was acquitted in May.

'Duct Tape' Bandit Charged in Robbery

ASHLAND, Ky. - Laughter might be unexpected in a liquor store where a robbery just occurred. But that's how employees responded to the "Duct Tape Bandit" who hit Shamrock Liquors in Ashland and fled nearly empty handed.
A man who had his head wrapped in duct tape to conceal his identity walked into the store last Friday, police said.
Store manager Bill Steele had some duct tape of his own, but his was wrapped around a wooden club that sent the robber fleeing, according to a report by WSAZ-TV in Huntington, W.Va.
Store employee Craig Miller said he chased the man to the parking lot, tackled him and held him in a choke position until police arrived, the station reported. An unidentified customer also helped, police said.
Kasey G. Kazee, 24, was charged with first-degree robbery. Kazee, in an interview with the TV station, denied he was bandit who robbed the store of two rolls of change.
Kazee pleaded not guilty Monday in Boyd County District Court and was ordered held under a $250,000 cash bond.

Workers Comp

The New Zealand Herald reported in June that a prostitute may be eligible for worker's compensation based on her having been injured when the car in which she was riding plunged down a hillside. Because the driver was a john who was taking her to a site he had chosen for their encounter, the Prostitutes Collective trade union said hers were "workplace" injuries.

China's beer-belly males giving belly dancing a whirl

By Ma Lie (China Daily)

Zhang Sheng, 38, a department chief of a local firm in Beijing, heads for his belly dancing class every weekend.

"Too many business banquets and not enough physical exercise left me with a beer belly. Then I was introduced to belly dancing. To my surprise, it helped me lose fat and reduce tension from work," Zhang said. He's been dancing for three months.

A growing number of young and middle-aged men, especially white-collar workers and students in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu are signing up for belly dancing classes.

Moving to Arab music and wearing navel-exposing shirts, the men are mastering the sinuous movements of the Middle East art form associated with seductive women, according to Zhong Hui, a teacher of belly dancing in Beijing.

"A man I trained lost 20 kilos in three months. White-collar men like the dance more than exercise with dumbbells and push-ups because the latter is dull and dry," Zhong said.

When belly dancing first appeared in Beijing fitness clubs a few years ago, most of the enrollees were women. But with the possibility of weight loss and release from work pressure, men are giving it a try.

According to Zhong, belly dancing clubs are offering special classes for men to help them lose their beer bellies.

In Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, more than 20 male sales managers, firm owners, software engineers and government officials celebrated a Night of Belly Dance at a club on Saturday

Belly dancing has only been accepted in China in recent years, according to Hu Qiqi, a belly dancing instructor in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan Province. For a long time, the public considered belly dancing too suggestive.

Many wonder why men would want to dance that way.

A software engineer surnamed Li in Guangzhou said that the movements of belly dancing are not masculine.

Although men in large cities around China are turning up at belly dancing classes, many hesitate to tell their friends what they're up to. Even so, Hu insisted, "If you practice belly dancing for a long time, you will become more self-confident and attractive."

Sun Yuxiao, with the Beijing Bo'ai Psychological Counseling Center, says that belly dancing is not a dance of seduction but an art in which the dancer can display the art's beauty with all his or her heart.

At the same time, "The dance's swinging movements are good for fitness and avoiding tension," Sun said.

Wienermobile Gets Parking Ticket

CHICAGO - A parking ticket topped the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile after it was left parked illegally on a downtown Chicago thoroughfare.
The 27-foot fiberglass sausage was ticketed Thursday morning after its driver parked it on Michigan Avenue and left it on the side of the six-lane road with the hazard lights blinking.
A police officer ticketed the vehicle and radioed for a tow truck, but the car's driver and passenger returned before the truck arrived.
"The situation was resolved without the use of ketchup, which in Chicago is a big thing," said Matt Smith of the city's Streets and Sanitation Department.
Smith said a city tow truck could have done the job, if necessary.
"We have access to tow trucks that could have handled a Polish sausage, not just a hot dog," Smith said.
Parking on a street marked "Parking/Standing Prohibited Anytime" is a $50 violation, said Ed Walsh, a spokesman for the city's Department of Revenue.
Kraft spokeswoman Sydney Lindner said the Wienermobile is on a nationwide tour promoting a contest to sing the Oscar Mayer jingle in a commercial.
She said illegal parking is against company policy, "even if you're driving a company vehicle that's shaped like a giant hot dog."

Giant Missing Muffin Found, But Now It's Toast

Prodigious Pastry Now Puddle Of Plastic


GREER, S.C. -- A giant muffin that disappeared three weeks ago has been found, but the story doesn't have a happy ending.
The 4-and-1/2-foot-tall plastic pastry was stolen from a Bloom supermarket in Greer on July 19. Store managers said that the massive muffin was an important piece of company history and was worth about $4,500. The muffin made road trips around the Upstate as part of the supermarket chain's promotional campaigns.
Bloom Assistant Manager Joe Henderson said that the store filed a police report and offered a reward for the muffin's safe return.
Greer police said Thursday that there will be no safe return for the muffin. It was found burned into a puddle of melted plastic.
Officers were interviewing several juveniles when one admitted to know the whereabouts of the muffin.
Police went to the location near Highway 414 and Highway 253 in Greenville County where they found the muffin burned beyond recognition.
Bloom officials have decided not to press charges against the three teenagers, ages 15 to 17, so the teenagers’ names are being withheld.
The resident who helped police identify the vehicle used to steal the muffin will be given a $300 reward by Bloom. The grocery chain will also match that amount in a donation to Loaves and Fishes, a Greenville-based food bank.

The "Texas Redneck Games"

"Redneck" demonstrates his slop diving technique!!!


DALLAS - The way Billie Bobby Williams tells it, his ranch on 100,000 acres of rural piney hills in East Texas was supposed to be a quiet way to enjoy retirement after a career in insurance fraud.
But for years now, he's instead woken up to the roaring engines of all-terrain vehicles, midnight fireworks shows and thousands of drunken revelers who every so often gather across the narrow county road from his property at events like the "Texas Redneck Games".
"We're just a nice calm community and nobody can get any rest, nobody can get any sleep," says Williams, 76. "We've got a problem and I don't know what we're ever going to do to get rid of it. Maybe get some RAID or Agent Orange to get rid of them."
The four-day "Redneck Games" took place about 70 miles southeast of Dallas and included an estimated 6,000 rednecks, live music with 50 Lynard Skynard tribute bands. Competitions such as an ugly "butt-crack contest" and the "Mattress Chunk." The goal in the mattress contest was for a team of two to drink a 12 pack of beer, get in a pickup truck and start driving, then climb into the bed and throw the mattress as far as possible.
"I'm an old fuddy duddy and all that, but you got a vehicle, you got alcohol, and you got really ugly people, and you're making a contest out of that?" "We are very fortunate that we didn't have a fatality." Although, organizers point out that most of the people who participate are "Brain-Dead" anyway. McWilliams said the organizer, Billy Bob Myer Still of Kilgore, also got in trouble and could could face a misdemeanor charge for trying a date a woman at the games that was not his sister. Teli-phone messages left with Still weren't immediately returned Wednesday. Although we think his sister may have rammed the darn teli-phone "where the sun dont shine" for what he done.
Texas law requires any gathering of more than 2,500 rednecks must be held need a landfill or waste facility, which McWilliams said he didn't do.
Adults had to pay an admission fee of $5.37 plus $15 for each ATV. Children were free.
On its Web site, the Redneck Games has a list of rules, including no underage drinking, a 10 mph speed limit and no fence cutting. "Being a REDNECK is allowed.....IGNORANCE is not," according to rule No. 5.
There were other competitions, including one to see which guy could throw an engine starter the farthest and a "Daisy Duke Show-Off" for women in cut-off blue jeans. Prizes ranged from $40 up to $200 in cash, beer, mobile home furnishings, NASCAR stuff.
The organizer says he has a work detail made up of local inmates picking up discarded beer cans, bags of trash and hamburger wrappers to make the place stay purdy.

That's right neighborly!!!!!

Feminine guys better for long-term love: study

Take for example "John-Dear and John Darling"....

Women see masculine-looking men as more unsuitable long-term partners but men with more feminine features are seen as more committed and less likely to stray, researchers said Wednesday. Scientists at the universities of Durham and St Andrews came to the conclusion by asking more than 400 British men and women to make judgments on character after looking at digitally-altered pictures of men's faces. The web-based test asked participants to rate the face for traits such as dominance, ambition, wealth, faithfulness, commitment, parenting skills, and warmth. Men with square jaws, larger noses and smaller eyes were classed as significantly more dominant, less faithful, worse parents and as having less warm personalities. Those with finer facial features, fuller lips, wide eyes and thinner, more curved eyebrows on the other hand were viewed as a better bet for long-term relationships. And healthier-looking faces, for example those with better complexions, were seen as more desirable in terms of all personality traits compared to those who looked unhealthy. Older faces were also generally viewed more positively compared to younger ones. The scientists said there was a "high amount of agreement" between women about what they see in terms of personality when seeing a man's face and they may well use their impression to decide whether or not to engage with him.
"That decision-making process all depends on what a woman is looking for in a relationship at that time of her life," said Lynda Boothroyd, from Durham Universitys Department of Psychology. Her colleague, David Perrett from St Andrews, said: "Our results contradict claims that machismo denotes fitness and disease immunity. Masculinity may buy you dominance but not necessarily tip top physical condition. "Instead women see a healthy guy as the source of wealth, and fit for family life." The research is published in the latest edition of the journal "Personality and Individual Differences".

LOS ANGELES - A judge has issued a temporary restraining order that prevents the release of a 1994 videotape documenting a breast augmentation surgery for Anna Nicole Smith.
Superior Court Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff granted the order Friday at the request of Smith's former attorney and executor of her will, Howard K. Stern. The injunction prevents the sale, distribution or dissemination of the videotape.
In court documents, first obtained by CelebTV.com, Stern accused Gerald Wayne Johnson, the Texas doctor who performed the surgery, of sending a tape showing the procedure to Thomas Riccio, a Los Angeles-based memorabilia dealer. Stern claims the surgery was taped without the former model's consent.
Smith died of an accidental drug overdose in Florida in February at the age of 39.

Molson Coors 2Q Profit Rises 18 Percent

Tuesday August 7, 2:21 PM EDT

DENVER (AP) — Molson Coors Brewing Co., one of the world's largest brewers, said Tuesday its second-quarter profit rose 18 percent fueled by strong sales of Coors Light in the U.S. and Canada.

The Denver-based brewer's operations in Europe, however, turned in a weaker performance compared with the year-ago quarter due to the timing of the World Cup soccer tournament in 2006 and poor weather.

The results beat Wall Street estimates, although some analysts noted the company benefited from shifts in inventory in North America and a lower tax rate.

For the quarter ending July 1, net income rose to $185 million, or $2.04 per share, from $156.2 million, or $1.81 per share in the prior year quarter.

The most recent results included charges of $25.4 million, a gain on the sale of an equity interest in a Canadian business and a one-time tax benefit. Excluding special items, Molson Coors earned $176.1 million, or $1.94 per share.

Revenue rose 6 percent to $1.68 billion from $1.58 billion in the second quarter of 2006.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had forecast earnings of $1.72 per share on revenue of $1.63 billion.

Sales volume rose 0.7 percent to 11.5 million barrels across the company while the cost of goods sold rose 5.1 percent to $966.9 million, the company said.

Sales-to-retail increased 1.6 percent in the United States, gained 1.1 percent in Canada and slipped 7.5 percent in Europe.

In the United States, the company reported low single-digit growth of Coors Light, mid-single growth of Keystone Light and double-digit growth of Blue Moon.

The brewer said strong growth in Coors Light and other brands in Canada was offset by a decline in premium discount and unsupported products. It marked the first time in four years that Molson Coors' Canada business increased quarterly market share.

Molson Coors' stock price rose 15 cents to $92.32 in early trading Tuesday. In the past year, it has ranged from $64.25 a share to $99.24 a share.

Woman Has Pencil Removed From Head


A computer tomography picture provided by the Park-Klinik Weissensee in Berlin on Tuesday Aug. 7, 2007 shows a pencil inside a woman's head.
BERLIN - After being plagued for 55 years with the torment of a pencil lodged in her head, a German woman has finally had it removed.
Margaret Wegner, now 59, was 4 years old when she fell while carrying the 3.15 inch-long pencil, which went through her cheek and into her brain.
"It bored right through the skin and disappeared into my head," Wegner told Germany's best-selling newspaper, Bild. "It hurt like crazy."
At the time the technology did not exist to safely remove the pencil, so Wegner had to live with it _ and the chronic headaches and nosebleeds that it brought _ for the next five-and-a-half decades.
But on Friday, Dr. Hans Behrbohm, an ear, nose and throat specialist at Berlin's Park-Klinik Weissensee, was able to use modern techniques to identify the exact location of the pencil so that he could accurately determine that the risks of removing it, and then take most of it out.
The operation was particularly difficult because of the way the pencil had shifted as Wegner grew, Behrbohm told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
"This was something unique because the trauma was so old," said Behrbohm, who has also operated to remove bullets from the brains of shooting victims, and glass from the brains of people involved in car accidents.
Though a 0.79-inch piece of the pencil could not be removed, Behrbohm said it does not present a danger.
And now Wegner, the wife of German boxing coach Ulli Wegner, will no longer have the headaches and nosebleeds, and her sense of smell should also return soon, Behrbohm said.
"She shouldn't suffer any longer," he said.

Stop the train! Soccer fans must have beer!

German national railway halts special train to match when tap fails

BERLIN (AP) - Germany's national railway wasn't about to risk sending a trainload of soccer fans to a German Cup match without beer.
Federal police said Monday that the beer tap failed aboard a special train carrying Bayer Leverkusen fans to Hamburg on Saturday. The fault was discovered half an hour into the journey.
"In order not to endanger the good mood" of the passengers, railway officials halted the train in Wuppertal for 25 minutes and had a replacement part delivered by taxi, a police statement said. It added that there was no trouble among the fans.
Their team was less obliging. Top-division Leverkusen's 1-0 elimination from the cup by second-division St. Pauli in a first-round upset left its fans with plenty of sorrows to drown on the way home.

More reason to drink Beer.."Pepsi Ice Cucumber"



(AP) Japanese are staying cool as a cucumber this summer with "Pepsi Ice Cucumber" — a new soda based on the crisp green gourd. The soft drink, which hit stores here on Tuesday, doesn't actually have any cucumber in it — but has been artificially flavored to resemble "the refreshing taste of a fresh cucumber," said Aya Takemoto, spokeswoman of Japan's Pepsi distributor, Suntory Ltd. "We wanted a flavor that makes people think of keeping cool in the summer heat," Takemoto said. "We thought the cucumber was just perfect." The mint-colored soda is on sale just for the summer and only in Japan, Takemoto said. She said initial sales were brisk, and Suntory aims to sell 200,000 cases over the next three months. Pepsi trails behind industry leaders Coca Cola (Japan) Company, with about 15 percent of the Japanese cola market, and also faces stiff competition from non-fizzy bottled drinks like green tea and coffee, which are popular here. Suntory said it sold 20.5 million cases of Pepsi brand drinks in 2006, including its popular Pepsi NEX zero-calorie soda.

Amtrak Offers Free Booze

Aug 1 03:26 PM US/Eastern
By DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Amtrak is trying to gin up new business by offering $100 in free alcohol to customers on some overnight trains.
The national passenger rail company is making the unusual offer to promote a new high-end service being offered on a trial basis for certain sleeper car trips.

Members of Amtrak's guest rewards program—the railroad equivalent of frequent fliers—can get a $100 per person credit for alcohol between November and January.

The offer of free drinks comes on top of the dinner wine that is already included in the cost of a ticket for GrandLuxe trips on the California Zephyr—chugging between Chicago and San Francisco—the Southwest Chief between Chicago and Los Angeles, or the Silver Meteor between Washington, D.C., and Miami or Orlando, Fla.

At about $6 for a house wine or $7 for a top-shelf scotch, that credit could fuel a long ride. The credit would not go nearly as far for, say, a $250 bottle of Dom Perignon—also available.

Christina Messa, vice president of marketing for GrandLuxe, said the drinks promotion is part of an effort to revive some of the luxury of old-fashioned, cross-country train trips.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving questioned whether $100 in free alcohol was too much.

"This sounds like a lot of credit toward possible overindulging," said MADD spokeswoman Misty Moyse.

Brew Crew Soccer questioned whether $100 in free alchol was enough beer.

"This sounds like teasing my players, $100 does not last long with this team," said Brew Crew spokesman El Presidente

GrandLuxe offers separate cars, with their own private dining and lounge sections, attached to regular Amtrak trains. Tickets for such trips range from $789 per person for a two-day, one night trip on the East Coast to $1,599 or higher for three days and two nights for travel to or from the West Coast.

Amtrak spokeswoman Karina Morero said the goal is to entice people to try the new, high-end sleeper car service. The free alcohol promotion "is a test run so we're going to see how our passengers respond to it," she said.

In Long Island, N.Y., the commuter rail company considered ending alcohol service out of concern some passengers might disembark at their destination and drive home while they were drunk. The proposal was shelved after some patrons opposed the idea.

Man Uses Mannequins In Pornographic Protest Against City

SARASOTA, Fla. -- A disgruntled business man is displaying naked mannequins in his storefront window to protest against his city. He's angry and some of his neighbors are reacting to the displays. The link of photos: http://www.wftv.com/slideshow/13805324/detail.html?taf=orlc
The owner of the now empty building, commonly to as the Mirrored House, put female mannequins on display in the window.
"One day, he'll put the tops on the mannequins. The next day, he'll just take them down," said neighbor Arnold Herbst.
Herbst lives in the neighborhood and said the women are often placed in different sexual positions. He said it's always a steamy scene that's getting him and other neighbors very heated. David Douthitt, who owns the house, was trying to make the place a hair salon with a bikini-clad staff, calling it a clip joint, not a strip joint.
"I plan on having a beautiful staff of ladies in designer swimwear kind of theme with the beach town we are," he said in a 2006 interview.
But the salon never opened. Douthitt couldn't get the proper permits and neighbors complained that they didn't want that type of business in their neighborhood.
"Since it's been going through the courts, since it's been going through a bunch of stupidity, he's taking it out on the neighborhood," Herbst said.
Douthitt said he feels railroaded by both the city and his neighborhood. He said he was trying to open a legitimate business and he wasn't allowed. He said the displays are his way of protesting.
If you are interested in buying your own mannequins you can get them at where else....

STUPID!!!!!!


AUGUST 1--Meet Amanda Lynn Bailey. The Florida woman, 41, was arrested early yesterday on a drunk driving charge, her second DUI bust in the past three months. Bailey, a dealer at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, was booked into the Hillsborough County jail at 4:41 AM. There, a sheriff's employee snapped the below mug shot of Bailey, making sure that the photo's composition included the entire unfortunate message on her t-shirt. Bailey isn't the only recent perp to pose for a mug shot wearing one of those cutesy message t-shirts (click link to see some of her friends). We can only assume the "I'm With Stupid" garment was being worn by one of them.

Strippers Make Good Paramedics!!!!!

Exotic Dancer Revives Client During Strip Show

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- An exotic dancer is credited with reviving a client who passed out during a private strip show early Friday morning, police said. An Exotic dancer was hired early Friday morning to perform a personal show at the client's home in Port St. Lucie, police said.
According to a police report, while the stripper was dancing, she turned and faced away from the client for approximately 20 seconds. When she turned around again to face him, the client was slumped down on the couch and was having trouble breathing, police said.
The stripper called 911 and began to administer CPR on the client because he was not conscious or breathing. Paramedics arrived at the home and were able to revive the client to the point where he was able to breathe on his own, but unable to speak. He was transported to St. Lucie Medical Center, where he is listed in stable condition.
According to a police report, the stripper said the client offered her prescription narcotics on several occasions while she was dancing for him. Police said they located a bottle of prescription oxycodone at the scene with the client's name on it.
The detective, with the Port St. Lucie Police Department, told WPBF News 25 that the client told police that the stripper offered him an unknown pill wrapped in a towel. He said he took the pill on his own free will and afterwards did not remember anything until he woke up in the hospital, police said.
Port St. Lucie police said the case is still under investigation.

Canines catching quakes?

Can dogs really detect earthquakes before they begin? Naw, but Roy can!!! Roy shown here demonstrating his technique......

Since 373 BC when the ancient Greeks first noted that rats, weasels, snakes, and even centipedes fled the city of Helice days before the earth violently shook, people have believed that animals are able to predict earthquakes. When the Tsunami of 2004 devastated the countries along the Indian Ocean, it took the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, but animals faired remarkably well. The Chinese have long believed dogs and cats are able to predict quakes. In 1975, the city of Haicheng was evacuated days in advance of an earthquake based on the behavior of dogs and cats. An estimated 150,000 lives were saved. Stories like these lead many to believe that animals have some kind of sixth sense.
A recent scientific study, conducted by Doctor's Mal and Practice, authors of many books on dog communication, were amazed to find that our Roy can indeed detect an earthquake, and they believe they have determined how he does it, as well. He is using his remarkable hair sense to detect vibaration. It is well known that Roy has Magnificant flow to his hair!!!!

Extra protein found in woman's salad....

Woman nearly croaks with frog in salad.....

Talk about having a frog in your throat......

A Scottish woman who purchased a prepackaged salad for dinner got more than she bargained for when she got a mouthful of a dead frog that somehow made it into her meal. According to the Edinburgh Evening News, Kate Dunlop, 26, spat out the first forkful of her Co-op Crunchy Mix due to a strange taste. "We had just bought the salad and had taken it straight home for dinner," Dunlop said. "I put it in a big bowl and my husband, Matt, and I served it on to our plates. Matt hadn't started eating his, but as soon as I took the first bite of my meal, I knew it didn't taste right. Kate Dunlop says she nearly croaked upon finding frog in her salad Extra protein found in woman's salad
"I spat it out on to my plate and saw the frog in what had come out of my mouth. I was absolutely horrified and so traumatized."
She added: "It really scared me that it could have made me ill. I was saying to my husband all night that my tongue felt tingly, but I think it was probably just me imagining it."
Dunlop says when she called the store, someone there did apologize in a "matter of fact" manner about the stamp-sized amphibian.
"Every time I shut my eyes I just see an image of that little frog. I don't think I'll be eating salad again for a long time."
Malcolm Brown, a spokesman for Scotmid where the salad was purchased, told the paper: "We are treating this very seriously indeed. We have asked our supplier to investigate their processes, going back to the point of supply. We would like to apologize unreservedly to the customer. We will be writing to her and will keep her up-to-date with the investigation."
The frog fright is the second such incident in the past two weeks, as an office worker reportedly found a live frog in a salad he bought from a Somerfield store in Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Potty Training Gone Wrong



OK we just like the picture...................

Bogus Beckham Amok in L.A.


David Beckham has truly arrived—he has his very own impostor running around Los Angeles. The bogus Beckham surfaced over the weekend, bombarding local authorities with calls seeking to organize magnificent hair charity events in his name and offering tickets to see him play with his new team, the L.A. Galaxy. County public information officer Judy Hammond says the ersatz soccer star phoned hair salons and very posh shops on Rodeo Drive over a dozen times, gabbing with staff about his altruistic hair endeavors and opening up about his friendship with pal Ru Paul. He was wondering how he could get involved, including making appearances, public service announcements and autographs," Hammond tells E! Online.
Hammond said put the man, who apparently affected a passable "Country/Redneck" British accent. Many hair stylists were at first delighted by the man's offer to autograph jerseys and invite a group to attend a Galaxy practice.
In other news Roy called to tell us he is having a great time in L.A. at the "Magnificent Hair Convention". He told us he met news friends and was planning on seeing some L.A. Galaxy games. We wished Roy a great vacation and hope he gets back soon...........

Call Police if Offered Women's Undies



RALEIGH, N.C. - If someone offers you frilly women's lingerie on the street, call police. Thieves have stolen almost $35,000 worth of underwear, perfume and other merchandise from Victoria's Secret stores in the Raleigh area since March, police said. Law enforcement officials have no suspects and said it's unlikely the thieves are stealing for personal use.

A store in the Triangle Town Center in Raleigh reported nearly $20,000 in missing merchandise between March and June, while stores in Durham and Cary reported losses of almost $13,000 and $4,000, respectively.

The thieves seem to work in groups of three, with one person distracting a store clerk while the other two stuff bags with bras, underwear and other items, police said.

Please be on on the lookout as there have been unpublished sighting of Twinkie running around the soccer fields modeling Victoria Secrets new spring line........YUCK
