Uh...What's That On the Counter, Ma?
|
Most of us think of blissfully sunny weather, romantic white beaches and spirals of youthful fun at Disney World, whenever the state of Florida is mentioned.
However, I doubt anybody ever thinks...Madagascar hissing cockroach when you bring up the "Sunshine State."
Apparently, these creepy crawlers are being purchased in large number by some lizard owners, who buy them off internet sites and feed them to their reptilian pals, supposedly because doing so is "cost-effective."
The problem is that the Madagascar hissing cockroach can get as large as 5 inches. Should they escape, the likelihood is that the warm Florida climate will provide a good environment for them to grow and multiply in, meaning that they could find their way into the homes of several of the state's residents.
Just the thought of dozens of these fat, disgusting, 5 inch long cockroaches creeping into people's beds or running inside the open box of potato chips they left on the kitchen counter is cringe-worthy.
Although, buying these nasty bugs over the internet is illegal, it may be too late to stop the damage.
So, if you live in Florida you have two choices:
Move or buy a really big can of Raid. |

Four-Footed Driver Gets Behind the Wheel
|
Most of us never heard of the town Pryor, Oklahoma and it's not usually the kind of place that lends itself to any notice by the remainder of the world.
However, a pretty freaky incident occurred there, recently, that put this tiny burg on the map for at least 15 minutes of fame.
A town resident decided it was time to take his vehicle to a do-it-yourself car wash to get it nice and clean. He also chose to bring his beloved pet pit bull along for the occasion, leaving the 70-pound doggie inside the car, as he got his auto nice and spiffy lookin.'
The problem is that the canine was getting pretty bored, being left in that car all by himself and he decided to jump right to the front seat of the vehicle. When the critter did this, he inadvertently put it into reverse.
It looked, for awhile, as if the dog-driven automobile would go out for a dangerous impromptu highway excursion, but, instead, it stopped in an automated lane at the same car wash.
Miraculously, there was no real harm done, but the car got impounded, since its owner had no insurance.
What a dawg-gone shame!.

Stupid Cheerleader Moments
|
Caitlin Davis clearly fit the typical bouncy, wholesome, all-American image of a NFL cheerleader. The 18-year old was the youngest person to be chosen as a New England Patriots' cheerleader squad in its history and had a background that included being a part of a youth group at her church. All looked bright for her future.
Then, of course, reality hit, as the darker side of her personality was disclosed, via the online community site Facebook. Somebody posted an old photo of the sweet-faced cheerleader as she stood over a guy who was evidently passed out and she and another warped individual gleefully wrote words referring to his male "equipment" over various areas of his body.
Maybe that might have been forgiven by the owners of the Patriots and seen as a youthful prank done by a less mature young woman. What sealed her fate, however, was the fact that she also allegedly drew two swastikas on the sleeping man and had written the words, "I am a Jew" on him, as well.
Not surprisingly, the perky, bigoted cheerleader was forced to put her pom-poms down for good, as she was let go by the top brass of the Patriots.

"I Confess."
|
"Let us pray."
Usually when a member of the clergy says this, it's to guide someone towards a higher spiritual direction. For one Queens, New York priest, however, it seems to have been the ultimate pickup line.
Parishioners admired the respected priest, who ministered at an area Catholic church. They trusted him enough to go to him for confession. For one vulnerable female church member who was facing an impending divorce, however, the said priest appears to have used the confessional booth to lead her astray, by flirting with her.
In other words, he used his spiritual connections for sinful purposes. Guess his reason for joining the clergy seems to have been to scope out all the hot chicks.
The mesmerized woman and the priest started dating on the sly and then got...well..."real familiar" with each other.
The secret trysts came to an abrupt close when the infatuated lady got an email from her priestly boyfriend, informing her that he had inadvertently passed on a STD to her.
Yep, that would definitely put the damper on a romantic relationship.
The diocese doesn't have too many comments on the matter right now, but she has filed a $25 million lawsuit. |

What a Couple of Despicable Creeps!
|
You have to have been stuck in a cave not to have heard all the news about Florida "Mom-from ' Hades"- Casey Anthony, who waited a whole month before telling cops her daughter Caylee was missing and reportedly partied with friends in a club, while she was supposedly "searching" for the adorable 4-year-old.
After basically playing cat-and-mouse with the authorities, she has finally been arrested for what the police believe is the murder of the missing tot.
I mean, even an idiot could connect the dots here.
Just when you thought things couldn't get any freakier with this story, recent unsubstantiated reports have surfaced that convicted murderer Scott Peterson has been writing to Casey Anthony from California's "Death Row." Peterson was convicted of murdering his wife Laci and their unborn child in 2005.
So, what would these two repulsive human beings have to discuss? Maybe they could talk about the best places to party after committing a heinous crime. Or perhaps they could set a date to meet for drinks in the hereafter, since Anthony is likely to get the death penalty, too, if convicted of killing her daughter.
Allegedly, Anthony has not been writing back.
Guess he's not her type.

Robber Leaves Something Behind
|
Very seldom, if ever, do individuals who commit armed robberies leave anything behind, except for the frightened people whose stuff they just took.
Recently, however, one 22-year-old criminal left something of great importance behind, but it was not exactly intentional on his part.
The criminal, along with an accomplice, decided it was a good time to go to the Columbia Heights area of Washington, D.C. and hold up a place alleged to be a brothel. The two made off with lots of big bucks from some supposed "working girls" and probably expected to make a nice, clean getaway.
However, one ticked-off victim decided to fight back and grabbed the 22--year-old's machete, managing to cut off the unlucky thief's right thumb.
Ouch! Now, that's gotta hurt, man!
Despite the efforts of the tough-as-nails victim, the nine-fingered crook and his partner made off with their sizable loot and the wounded man went straightway to a hospital emergency room to get his...er...condition treated..
Police were alerted by the hospital about their new patient and the severed digit was matched to its owner, who was arrested by the cops for his lawless actions.
Now the robber and his thumb are together again...in the "Big House."

Liquored-Up Pilot Arrested
|
It's not enough that you have to suffer canceled flights, charges for extra luggage and nasty attitudes from rude personnel. Now, when you fly the "not-so-friendly" skies, you have an additional thing to worry about...SOUSED PILOTS!
An arrest was made recently at London's Heathrow Airport, as authorities took a United Airlines pilot off the plane, just as he was about to fly over 5,000 miles to San Francisco, California.
The problem is that the guy had downed some "happy juice" prior to going to work. Fortunately, a member of the ground staff, who had an inkling that the pilot was on the tipsy side, alerted the proper folks, who responded before the flight took off.
The inebriated gent, already seated in the cockpit, was quickly taken off and arrested. My guess is that he will not only be facing legal issues, but will probably be out looking for a new job, as well.
You just have to wonder about the I.Q. of somebody who goes out and ties one on, knowing he is going to be flying a plane with fellow human beings whose very lives are in his hands.
Hope they throw the bottle...er...I mean, book at this idiot! |

Papa Ain't Right
|
I don't think some folks would have a clue about parenting, even if a handbook came attached to their kid upon birth.
A prime example of this is a recent news story involving a 27-year-old "father" from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He decided to take his infant child along for the ride when he drove to a gentleman's club. According to what he later said to authorities, he just came to the place to pick up a cell 'phone from his wife, who was one of the dancers at the establishment.
Seems, though, that "Daddy" decided to stay longer, since his wife was otherwise occupied. He sat down at a table, popped a few cigarettes and got his groove on by getting a lap dance from an attractive female employee, as he enjoyed some hedonistic fun.
The only problem was that he left his sleeping infant in the back of his car outside.
Even worse, he left the door unlocked.
Thankfully, a concerned patron saw the snoozing baby and called the cops, who arrested him for "unlawful conduct towards a child" for his shameful negligence.
In terms of sheer, mind-boggling stupidity, this guy is the embodiment of a complete idiot.

All In the Family
|
So, looking for the right feller or gal to be your soulmate? Forget online dating websites, blind dates or chance meetings. You can find the love of your life in your own family.
That's what one Alabama couple did. Siblings Bo and Anna decided that the best person to spend the rest of their very strange existences with was...each other.
(Well, okay, she was his adopted sister, but, still, weren't there any other eligible people in the trailer park to choose from?)
Their nuptials were aired on CMT's reality show, "My Big Redneck Wedding, Season 2."
Every dreadful stereotype of Southerners you've ever had was reinforced by this episode. Neither the lovebirds nor their assortment of toothless, blue-jesn outfitted friends and family members seemed the least bit appalled by their decision.
The couple than commenced with their unique wedding plans, which included holding the ceremony in their trailer park, where the bride marched to her groom, who wore a rebel flag vest. Afterwards, guests ate the hog 'specially slaughtered for the occasion, got sloshed with cheap beer and the newly hitched pair drove their truck through the mud, dirtying up their fancy weddin' duds.
And you thought romance was dead! |

Finger Lickin' Fine
|
What would the late Colonel Saunders, founder of fast food chicken restaurant chain KFC, say, if he knew that one of his most loyal customers was being disrespected?
When a British nurse and a friend stopped by a local KFC recently, their intention was to enjoy scarfing down some of the juicy, tender poultry with fixings offered at the popular restaurant. Evidently pretty hungry, she ordered a gargantuan meal, consisting of fourteen pieces of chicken, six cartons of french fries and some huge soft drinks.
The long-time customer of this KFC obviously believed that she had plenty of time to enjoy the finger-lickin' -good, calorie-laden meal, but such was not the case.
The stunned nurse was taken aback to receive a notice in the mail, not long after informing her that she being fined £150 for overstaying her welcome at KFC.
She claims that she was unaware of their customer time-limit, which stipulates that you can only stay a maximum of 75 minutes, due to a parking restriction. The ravenous patron and her pal stayed 90 minutes.
I don't know what's worse... the fact that this woman was fined £150 or that she put away 5,456 calories at one sitting.

Feds Fund Exec R&R
|
So, what do you do when the U.S. government hands you $85 billion to bail out your company after you screw up?
Well, party, of course!
At least, that's what some of the folks at insurance giant AIG must have thought. Just days after the feds bankrolled them to keep them from going under, a bunch of their execs decided the first thing to do was to celebrate by going to a retreat at a luxurious California hotel.
They enjoyed lounging around in lavish rooms, getting massages, facials and pedicures at a fancy spa and eating snooty restaurant food, all paid for by $440,000 of the taxpayer money so generously given to them.
While you were reeling from the eviction notice, informing you that your house is being foreclosed on, or trying to find another job because the present economic crisis caused you to be laid off, all without any helpful intervention from the feds, these folks were living large.
Of course, once this news was discovered, AIG was repentant and willing to pay back the $440,000 and fire those frivolous execs, right?
Not exactly.
They now want more money from the government and, worst of all, they may get it. |

Next time you want somebody to talk to about your marriage troubles, you might be better off confiding in a bartender than to your local Catholic priest. At least, that's the way it turned out for one very disillusioned Joliet, Illinois man.
When he and his wife started having difficulties in their relationship, the couple opted to go to their priest for counseling, with the hopes it would help improve things between them. At first, their counseling sessions were held in the sanctity of the church rectory and the two were counseled together. However, perhaps the husband should have been a little suspect when the seemingly sincere priest suggested counseling the wife individually.
Thinking things were improving, the dude went on a church trip with his wife to Rome, where he believed their wedding vows would be renewed, except that she hit him with a request for divorce. He later discovered that his spouse and their sainted "counselor" had fallen for each other. The priest is no longer a priest and is "living in sin" with his former congregant.
Naturally, the husband is angry as a hornet on a hot roof and has filed suit against the horrendous holy man.

Moooove Somewhere Else
|
Ever thought you had the neighbor from hell? You know, like the guy who lives next door who blasts his stereo in the wee hours of the night or the woman across the street who keeps spreading vicious rumors about you.
You may want to run over and give your annoying neighbor a big hug, because things could be considerably worse, as one very strange news story proves.
An unfortunate Middleton, Ohio neighborhood was recently terrorized by the bizarre exploits of one of its...er..."different"... residents. The plump 32-year-old woman wreaked havoc in her otherwise quiet community by donning a cow costume and launching into some odd behaviors.
According to observers, the "udderly" ridiculous female started chasing neighborhood children, who were, understandably, frightened by the sight of a giant bovine trying to run them down. As though that weren't enough, she went to the front porch of another resident and urinated there.
The cops were called and the crazy "cow" was ordered to return home and remain there. When she disobeyed that command by later throwing her considerable bulk in the way of oncoming traffic, she was arrested.
Don't think you'll be too terribly surprised to hear that alcohol was involved. |

A Gassy Crime
|
One South Charleston, West Virginia man got more than he bargained for when he decided to drink and drive. After getting in his vehicle and making his way down Route 60, he was noticed and stopped by one of South Charleston's finest when he was spotted driving with his headlights off. This is usually a BIG clue that the person behind the wheel is snockered.
Of course, the inebriated driver was busted, after he flunked a series of sobriety tests, and taken down to the police station.
It's bad enough to get caught driving under the influence, but the soused fella made matters much worse when, going through the booking process. according to officers who were present, the drunk driver placed himself in a strategic position, when being fingerprinted, so that he was allegedly able to launch a strongly scented "air biscuit" in their direction.
Let's just say that the law enforcement personnel there were not happy and charged him with "battery on an officer" for his purposeful flatulence.
Later, the assistance prosecutor of Kanawha County made a request for the charges to be dropped, probably not wanting to have his career forever connected to the "drunken farter case." |

Further Proof That Celebrities Are Not Sane
|
I don't know how really good a "magician" David Blaine is, but you certainly have to give him his props when it comes to creating outlandish publicity stunts.
The 35-year old Blaine apparently gets off on putting himself in risky circumstances strictly for the worldwide attention it garners. As of this writing, he is hanging upside down in New York City's Central Park, where he plans to remain for 60 straight hours in the Wollman skating rink, where curious onlookers are welcome to gawk and hurl verbal abuse, if they are so inclined.
Although he will be wearing a safety harness, he still puts himself at risk of getting a stroke or becoming blind, as he awaits the conclusion of his stunt on a Wednesday night t.v. special. He then plans to fall from where he is hanging. The drop just happens to be 44 feet.
While Blaine is bound to get the attention he desires from this, you have to wonder if he doesn't have some kind of a death wish.
Is it really worth risking your life just to get a little publicity?
And is anybody else wondering...
How the heck is he going to go to the bathroom??
