NY Post: Flamer After Hose
Dude.
|
A weirdo tried to find a hot time at an Upper East Side firehouse Sunday by tiptoeing into the building, waking up a groggy battalion chief - and demanding gay sex, according to court records. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you," suspect Eric Farr, 33, allegedly told the firefighter. "I'm just going to f- - - you. I'm so horny!" |
All is not lost however.
|
While cooling his heels in the clink, Farr allegedly took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with fellow accused criminal, Javier Alderete, 28, of Queens, who was in for a DUI rap. One thing led to another, the stars aligned, and Farr performed a sex act on Alderete in the cell, according to the criminal complaint. They broke it up only when an officer arrived, the complaint said. |
So it all worked out well. Whew.
Oh, and you just have to love the Post's headline.

Al Gore Places Infant Son In Rocket To Escape Dying Planet

Former vice president Al Gore—who for the past three decades has unsuccessfully attempted to warn humanity of the coming destruction of our planet, only to be mocked and derided by the very people he has tried to save—launched his infant son into space Monday in the faint hope that his only child would reach the safety of another world. |

Here's a quickie. After reading this headline on Drudge, World's Greatest Dad' Arrested As Predator, I was reminded of The Smoking Gun's mug shot t-shirt gallery, which was also linked. It is a wonderful trip through the world of regret.
I like how several of the photo subjects have bail bond shirts. I can only guess that you get a free t-shirt when you use their services.

Win World of Warcraft Tournament Splurge on Hookers & Fritos
|
A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad's credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order. Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel. The credit card company involved said it was regular practice to send extra credit cards out as long as all security questions are answered. The escort girls who were released without charge, told the arresting officers something was up when the kids said they would rather play Xbox than get down to business. |
As if that isn't good enough, "They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them."

He's No Chuck Norris
My co-worker sent me this little story on Roger Clemens, it explains how he took advantage of the local Hard Rock while pitching for the Red Sox but what stood out for me was this:
“Whenever he came into the Hard Rock, they had to play ‘Rocket Man,’ ” recalled another ex-employee. “He really liked that.”
Oh man, what a dork. So, my coworker and I have decided that Roger Clemens is the anti Chuck Norris. And like good employees we immediately came up with our Roger Clemens list. He are the fruits of that non-labor.

Teenagers who hang out inside one apartment building in Jamaica, Queens are getting an earful these days. A new security device called "The Mosquito" has been installed in the lobby of a building on 170th St. where there have been chronic problems with noisy teens. The wall-mounted device emits a high-frequency screech that can only be heard by people aged 13 to 25. Most older people cannot hear it. |

Weekend at Bernie's

Life imitated the movies Tuesday when two dopes wheeled a dead man around Hell's Kitchen in an office chair as they tried to cash his Social Security check, cops said. The "Weekend at Bernie's" stunt was an attempt to collect 66-year-old Virgilio Cintron's dough less than a day after he died, police said. One suspect is Cintron's roommate. |
No word on any plans for a sequel.

A Christmas Appetizer
I saw the movie Smoke, when it was first released in 1995. It remains one of my favorite films centering around my home, Brooklyn.
While sick in bed last week, one of the few bright spots was having to opportunity to watch this again on television. It was a treat, since I probably haven't seen it in 10 years.
Maybe it was the shots of NyQuil or an overdose of tea, but after all these years, I enjoyed it a little bit more.
The end of the movie has a wonderful monologue by Harvey Keitel based on a short story by the movie's author Paul Auster.
Listen to Paul Auster read his story at this link, then take a look at a clip from the movie below.

The Onion: Chinese Authorities Execute 10 Million Recalled Toys
|
In an attempt to assure the world's children that the millions of Chinese-made toys currently being recalled for containing toxic lead paint and tiny choking hazards can no longer hurt them, high-level Chinese officials announced Tuesday that millions of playthings are being rounded up and immediately put to death. "We are committed to the well-being of children and putting the consumer's mind at ease," said Chinese president Hu Jintao at a press conference. "Boys and girls of the world, you need not worry. Your toys will be executed swiftly and harshly. When we are through, there will be nothing left to play with." |

Home is Where the Ear Is
I've heard of having cobwebs in your head but this is just crazy...and gives me the heebie jeebies!

What began as a faint popping in a 9-year-old boy's ear — "like Rice Krispies" — ended up as an earache, and the doctor's diagnosis was that a pair of spiders made a home in the ear. "They were walking on my eardrums," Jesse Courtney said. One of the spiders was still alive after the doctor flushed the fourth-grader's left ear canal. His mother, Diane Courtney, said her son insisted he kept hearing a faint popping in his ear — "like Rice Krispies." |
Animal rights activists want the spider, Ms.Cavatica, declared human and given compensation for losing her home.

The 411 on 617
Check out what happens when you're on the short end of the political stick in 1940's Boston.
|
A premise governing the designation of three-digit area codes-- to a state, or to regions within a state-- was that densely populated areas where the incoming call volume was heavy should have mostly low numbers... Not so in Boston. There the Democratic machine thought the prospective apportionment would diminish their city. If the national pattern were followed, Boston residents would be forced to dial high numbers when placing calls to the western (and generally Republican) parts of Massachusetts. Meanwhile, callers to Boston from those western regions would enjoy the benefit of using lower numbers. City politicians moved to avert that disaster. In 1948 Democrats had won control of the state legislature for the first time in history, providing the city machine with even greater clout. Led by Mayor John Hynes, protests were made to New England Telephone and through it to AT&T. After negotiations, Boston gained an exception to the national plan, earning a 6-1-7 area code (high for a large city), and western Massachusetts received a lower 4-1-3. |
Thanks to JR for forwarding the story.

For six months after 9/11 I was working from home, as my office was closed down for repairs. Rumsfeld's daily press conferences were something I honestly looked forward to, and in a weird way, kept me sane. I have a feeling we haven't heard the last of him.

You Can't Do That to Our President...
I wasn't going to comment on Hugo Chavez's U.N. speech and the chatter that ensued. But now I just can't help it. A co-worker, in one movie reference, completely captured the moment when describing the statements by Charlie Rangel and Nancy Pelosi.
As you might know, trying to score some easy points with the public, they jumped all over his criticism of President Bush.
