This little-known nugget was buried deep within the bowels of TMZ's website:
Turns out, Chris Rock was approached by Hollywood PD's forensics unit, immediately following the Oscars ceremony. Crime scene tape was unrolled around him. Techs swabbed the insides of his cheeks, and also dusted the outsides of his cheeks.
DNA results were inconclusive, but the dustings provided ample evidence of fresh prints...
If the sign says "Road Closed," there's likely a good reason, as one motorist found out Wednesday in Akron.
City officials say the driver went around warning signs and ended up stuck in freshly poured concrete at the intersection of Dart Avenue and Vernon Odom Boulevard around midmorning.
Workers were able to get the car out of the concrete and repairs to the roadway were relatively easy, as the concrete had not fully set, officials said. No injuries were reported.
The workers recommended the concrete be cleaned off the wheels and underside of the car before the concrete solidified. Akron police responded to the incident, but further information was not immediately available.
I actually had a gunstock type of camera mount. I really liked the thing, and it beat carrying around a tripod. One of the composite parts broke, and the shutter release receptacle didn't fit my newer cameras. Replacement parts are unavailable. If the company (Bush Hawk) hadn't gone out of business I'd probably still be using it. It got quite a few second glances out on the trails, lol.
I guess that depends on your definition of "wildlife". I hunted for decades and have never seen anyone carry a rifle that even resembles that using it to shoot or capture what I consider to be wildlife. And I actually own weapons that resemble the one pictured.
I've seen people using weapons like that to shoot/capture wildlife of all flavors damn near daily, especially in the warmer months. Especially with folks that like to take those long-range shots.
Gonna make this thread fun again, and pass along a joke I read in Willie Nelson’s book “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”
It’s Christmas time, and the postman knocks on a door to deliver a package. A beautiful woman lets him in, then says “come upstairs, I have something for you”
So they go upstairs, she boffs his brains out, gives him a dollar bill, then goes downstairs and makes him a huge breakfast: eggs, toast, bacon, hash browns, fresh fruit, the whole deal.
Still amazed, he looks at her and says, “what just happened here?”
And she says, “I asked my husband what I should give you for a Christmas tip. He said ‘screw him, give him a dollar.’ “Breakfast was my idea”
Johnny Cash mural is leaking from a crude spot after Arkansas water tower gets shot
Mitchell Willetts Sun, May 15, 2022, 5:11 PM·2 min read
An Arkansas town is upset after someone shot a hole in their water tower in a very specific, and unfortunate location.
The water tower in Kingsland, the birthplace of Johnny Cash, bears a painted silhouette of the famous Man in Black — but an unknown person recently took careful aim at Cash’s crotch and pulled the trigger. Now the mural is perpetually leaking from that spot, video shared May 11 by the Cleveland County Herald shows.
Kingsland, population around 400, is 72 miles south of Little Rock.
Betty Graham, water office manager, told the Herald it could take as long as a week to fix the damage.
She saw the leak when she went into the office early that morning but assumed it was “routine overflow,” until sunrise, when the cold light of day revealed the work of the crude vandal, the Herald reported. Kingsland spent almost $300,000 last year improving the water tower.
“Someone here knows who did this,” a comment read. “I hope they’ll come forward and turn the vandal in.”
“This is just terrible. If they find out who it was they need to give them the max punishment. This is people’s livelihood, their water source,” said another.
While not condoning vandalism, some felt that the perpetrator displayed a certain degree of panache.
“Shouldn’t have done it, but as far as creativity goes its 1st class,” a comment said.
Seeing harm come to the freshly refurbished water tower isn’t anything to laugh about, Graham said in a Facebook post.
“People think it’s funny but a lot of hard work and effort went into getting the grant to get this painted,” Graham said. “It’s sad that someone could do this. Please if anyone heard the shot and knows the time or was out last night and saw something suspicious please let me or someone with the water Dept or the sheriff Dept know.”

I love this running gag that takes place on the Late Late Show w/James Cordon. It's the send-up "title music" Steve Scalfati plays when Cordon starts his news segment. The jingle is never the same, and it always grows over time like a monster in a b-grade 50's sci-fi movie. Not only is the guy clever and funny, he's a consummate musician. Writing music is hard. Writing purposely funny music is even harder. Watch what this guy can do.
A Pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in a race again... and it won, again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS.
This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Pastor to get rid of the donkey. The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.
The Bishop fainted.
He informed the Nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farm for $10. The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10
This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the Nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.
The Bishop was buried the next day.
The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery and even shorten your life. So be yourself, and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and just cover your own !!! You'll be a lot happier and live longer!
Masterfully rendered! Tip of the chapeau, Clemdawg! I giggled more than once, and I most sadly confess that this was the high point of this day for me. Thanks for the pick me up. Now I hope to be able to remember it to tell it to a few pastors I know. LOLetc.!
I think it’s funny. Then again, I’m not a politically-correct, cancel-culture type. Doesn’t mean I can’t have empathy, but I won’t cry in a corner if someone says something that hurts my fee-fees.
No offence to you, just a mini-rant again the woke culture.
I almost died today, huh huh ha huh, isn't that goofy. I was driving on the freeway, and about to chose a lane, Now I was doing about 70 mph,
and, just looking to chose the lane that takes you to the perpendicular freeway, or stay in my own lane, not sure which, but, A car went by my face, on my left, from behind me at greater than 45 mph, I think, and so close to my cheek I honestly don't know how I still have a drivers' side (side mirror) Sp Sp Sp Speeders...
So this joker, ha ha, must have been going at lest II5 mph, and when I looked, after my reaction time, to my left, Ha ha, There was another car there, also going 70 like me, just slightly behind me in the lane where this joker had just passed at at least II5.
So, what I think happened is, this Sp Sp Sp Speeder shot the gap, between our two cars, even though we were in adjacent lanes, and successfully, which didn't kill me.
But I remember every thing that happened during these years and of all of them, I never remember seeing a car, whiz by my face, at such speeds, and so close to my face in my life, whether walking, driving, biking, or espcecially driving 70 mph.
Now, had I died, nobody would have had the password, I think, to ever open or post on here again. You all would have been rid of me once and for all. Isn't that just the goofiest thing I ever heard. (shoot, 70 and 45 is one hundred fifteen not one hunded five) and I say speeder like that because I watched an episode of Reno-9II once, and it wasn't appropriate, not pg rated reference.
Crazy. Reminded me of a documentary I watched recently. Definitely worth a watch if you're curiously attracted to complete incompetence and lack of regard for human life lol...
I played with those for at least a thousand hours as a kid. Never took a hit. If you ask me, they are only dangerous for the weak kids of today. When I was coming up, we'd jump ramps with our bikes wearing shorts, take a nose dive on concrete or asphalt, tear the hell out of our knees, then brush off the blood, dirt, and gravel and keep on playing. We were tougher because we had to be tougher.
Did ya ever notice how, whenever there is a niche for a character to distract millions of others that someone comes along to fill that need, and has a very successful career at it. No matter what decade their career never goes kaput. Ha ha for sure.
D'ya ever notice how, when it is supposed to be that you have a ton of choices, you really only have 3, or 4, or 2, or even one or none.
True story Clem, my daughter came home from college her sophomore year for thanksgiving. She opens the fridge to gaze at all the food, as starving college kids do. Then suddenly, with a serious tone of disgust in her voice, she turns and questions me sternly asking, "Why did you get an ALL-WHITE meat turkey? I liked dark meat too!" My wife and I felt just like that, smh. We've never let her live it down, either.
Ours too. My sister-in-law was dating my brother at 19 when they went to a family New Years' Eve party at my parents' house. She proceeded to get blitzed over the course of the evening, blacking out at some point and taking a very public exhibitionist-style leak on the hardwood floor behind my mother's recliner. In front of a half dozen witnesses, she just stumbled over behind it, dropped her drawers to her knees, squatted, and let it rip! She almost didn't become my sister-in-law that night. She was a kid then but still get's grief for that one and to date, she has never remembered a thing about that night beyond the first hour of being there.
And yes, for those worried, she was legal drinking age for the time.
My dad never held anything back. I was in my 30's, put on some weight and hadn't seen him for a while. We went over to his place to visit, and the first thing he said was, "Wow, you look like you're ready for market".
He had a heart of gold and everybody loved him, but you had to have a thick skin when you went to his house. Men, women, children.....he was an equal opportunity slammer.
Well, for the working class, it's beer. Not everyone can be snobbish. Although, a friend that employs over 650 people, lives in a million dollar house...........yeh, when we go out, or we go there, or they come here - Coors light. Or for me, Keystone. That's just us though. Rich, poor. It's just a rural thing.
Eh, my bad. I forgot to state it isn't just the wealthy, it's the common Joe as WELL as the wealthy. The teachers, the factory workers, the farmers, the lawyers (can't explain how many attorney's I've sat with that had a Coors light) the body shop owners that go totally Busch Light..................snobs? None of them. Belittling people? Nope, doesn't happen. Not that you were doing that.
Well, for the working class, it's beer. Not everyone can be snobbish.
It was just a joke between me and jfan. Not every post of mine is meant to be a comment on politics, class, income or status.
When She&Me were just getting started, we drank Shaefer beer. It was cheap, it tasted just fine, didn't give us the s#z... and it was easily available, because we were poor as fk, and lived in a cinder block 2nd- story walk-up across the street from Zeranti's Beverage Warehouse. Yep- a 2-bedroom dive, above Campnell's Termite & Pest Control... right next to the 8-bay 'U-Do-It' self-car wash on North St, just east of Cole St. In Lima.
Aside from my current job onstage, I've never worked a job that didn't involve tools, straps, grease, sweat, or hard work that required a shower at the end of a day's work... so please don't presume to teach me about real workers, and what we drink after quitting time. At 9 years of age, I drank a 7-Up after a hard day's work delivering pianos and organs to rich folk on Saturday mornings. When I was 20, I drank Miller Lite with my co-workers when I was a pipefitter's apprentice and boilermaker's extra at an oil refinery.
I know hard work. And I know Real People. I also know watery, unsatisfying beers after a hard day's work. Those watery, sub-standard beverages I shared with my friends were some of the most satisfying drinks I ever consumed.
Bad beer isn't a bad thing... even for effete, snooty "intellectual elites" like myself.
Sometimes, a dumb joke about bad beer is just that- a joke... from someone who came up from beginnings far humbler than yours- or most of these Dawgs.

In other public threads, you've repeatedly mentioned to all who could read that I don't like you. That isn't true, at all. It has never been true. What is true is this: after all these years, you still don't seem to get me. That's not the fault of either of us. Some folks just don't blend easily.
jfanent gets my jokes, because he gets me. That's why I toss my stuff to him in the way that I do. I don't have to explain s# to him, or work my ass off for him to understand what or why I'm posting. He just gets it. It's easy and comfortable between us. You seem require work and effort all the time. Sometimes, I just don't want to put in the extra time and effort. It's a message board. Jokes are supposed to flow easily. If I have to explain that it's a joke, it's no longer a joke. Which means that now, it's no longer easy or fun.
And now, I've just burned away another 10 minutes of my waning life explaining something to you that others don't seem to require. And the thread flow has now been disrupted. A turd just got dropped into the party punch bowl, and I'm now point man on the clean-up crew. Would I bother spending this much time and effort time on someone who didn't matter to me?
It was a dumb joke about bad beer. That's all.
In a thread named... and dedicated to "Goofy." Damn, dude. Learn to read the damned room, fer Chrissakes.
How do people not like Coors Light? Over the last few years it has become my go to. Especially in the summer. Put them in the freezer fifteen minutes before consumption. Delicious.
I consider myself somewhat of a beer connoisseur. We make it a habit to try beers and breweries across the country. It has come to a point where the craft beer revolution has gotten completely out of hand, and I find myself returning to the simpler stuff.
An ice cold coors light where the mountains are jet blue....sign me up.
I yearn for if any Fast Food Chain would ever provide the Burger special that is hidden in the movie Super Troopers s Hidden because it is so tertiary to the point of the scene. The scene is all about the frustration of the orderer dealing with the drive thru window, but , they do offer a special, and I think it's a good one.
think about it, any fast food franchise,
Order a store themed Burger, and a milk shake and apple pie, ... and the Fries come free. Think about it, what a money maker and what a popular meal it would be.
I. who doesn't want free French fries and French fries are the easiest thing for Fast food places to give away and not lose money Plus moving Apple Pies helps the bottom line always any way you do it.
2. Think about the customer, not only do you get to enjoy the rarity of an apple pie, BUT you also get 4 items and one of them comes free.
3rd. There is no food franchise that is losing money by moving more of it's signature burger.
the only change would be including all drinks not only milkshakes
A duck walks into a pharmacy, waddles up to the counter, and asks the pharmacist, "hey man- you guys sell Chap Stick?" "Sure. Aisle 8, top shelf." "Thanks man. "
Duck waddles off, makes his selection, and returns to the counter.
"That'll be a $1.69. will that be cash or credit?" "Neither. Just put it on my bill." [rim shot]
2 days later, same duck walks into the pharmacy again.
A woman decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250..00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!" The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it.
She insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use." "But I didn't use them." 'Well, they are here, and you could have." He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here." "But I didn't go to any of those shows.." "Well, we have them, and you could have." No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00" "That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me." "But I didn't!" "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.
She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:
"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?" “We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!" "Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?" "We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste." "Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump, the worst hotel in the city! The rooms are small, the service is surly, and they're overpriced. So, whatcha' doing when you get there?" "We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope." "That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. "You and a million other people are trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.
“It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand, I knelt down, and he spoke a few words to me."
Because it tastes like someone else's urine... we've covered this.
It's like someone de-beered it; removed the calories, removed the flavor, added sugar up front and bitter beer face in the ass-end. Yuck.
and, Oh my gosh a talking dog.
Because no other explanation works, in My mind anyway, for how FATE would know what someone else's urine tasted like, unless his dog told him. Therefore, Oh my gosh a talking dog.
...and the lack of a diagonal slash must indicate that this activity is legal. I'm looking at the narrowness of the street, the architecture- I'm thinking Europe. In which case, this activity might even be encouraged in this zone.
Pretty sure that it either means two for one day in the red-light district, or it's an idiot warning for the ESCALATOR down to the subway. But I could be off a smidge.
EDIT: Looked for the answer and saw a guy on Reddit say it was a street crossing sign for a roundabout in his country. lol.
We'd all be better off without alcohol altogether. because the alcohol is the process of decaying death, decaying provides the altered state of awareness, but it really is because of all the bad things that happen in non sober drunken times and their conse@uences. the decaying dead yeast in the alcohol, I mean.
But as Daffy Duck said in the treasure and greed genie lamp cartoon, "conse@uences schmonse@uences as long as I'm rich."

Insider's tip: check under the dog house at the back of the Cunningham's Milwaukee property.
I mean, think of it: 'Mr.C' builds a mansion-sized dog house for a pet that was owned by.... Arthur Fonzarelli?
What lies beneath that dog house footprint? Why is a dog house foundation a 3 ft-deep slab of poured concrete? Why did it take 5 union contractor teams to complete this 'backyard project?' What did America's Boy, 'Chuck C' learn/know, just before he disappeared? Why is Howard "Mr. C" Cunningham so tight-lipped about the details of his son's disappearance/absence? What did Da Fonz have on old Howard? ...and why was 'Made' Marion so enamored of this clichéd 50's greaser?
The answers to these questions (and so many more) will be revealed in Clemdawg's new True Crime podcast: "Not So Happy Days: The Truth Behind The Mysterious Disappearance of Charles Cunningham, and the ABC Network Cover-up."
10 episodes. 10 blockbusters.
Chuck was The Golden Boy... ...then Chuck was- gone. "Chucked-" for no apparent good reason.
-or is there a story we haven't yet heard?

Another reason to admire alcohol and give some props to its reliability. You can count on booze to do its job every time; the Browns, not nearly as dependable. Had an argument with a guy about whether we could even have Browns fans without beer. Went on for quite awhile; we gave up and ordered another pitcher so we were all "fanned up."
Debbie, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church’s morals, kept sticking her nose into other people’s business. Several members did not approve of her extra-curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused Bill, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town’s only bar one afternoon.
She emphatically told Bill and several others that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing. Bill, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn’t explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing.
Later that evening, Bill quietly parked his pickup in front of Debbie’s house…………. and left it there all night.
Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed: Desperate
Dear Desperate,
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.
Please enter command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the Tears application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download Snoring Loudly Beta version.
Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources. In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.
A cat died and went to Heaven. God met the animal at the Pearly Gates and said, “You have been a good cat all of these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking.”
The cat thought for a moment and then said, “All my life I lived on a farm and slept on hard, wooden floors… I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on.”
God said, “Say no more.” Instantly, the cat had a HUGE fluffy pillow.
A few days later, 12 mice were simultaneously killed in an accident and they all went up to Heaven together. God met the mice at the Pearly Gates of Heaven, with the exact same offer that He made to the cat.
The mice said, “Well, we have had to run all of our lives… from cats, dogs, and even from people with brooms. If we could just have some little roller-skates, we would never have to run again.”
God answered, “It is done.” All the mice had beautiful little roller-skates.
About a week later, God decided to check on the cat… He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, “Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?”
The cat replied, “Oh, everything is just WONDERFUL… I’ve never been so happy in my life! My pillow is always fluffy and those little “Meals-on-Wheels” that You have been sending over are delicious.”

Three people broke into a shoe shop in the city of Huancayo in central Peru on Sunday. They made off with 200 sneakers — but they were all for the right foot, per Peruvian newspaper El Comercio. The heist was worth 50,000 Peruvian Soles, or $13,400, the local outlet reported. Three people in Peru have been caught on the wrong foot after a shoe shop robbery went wrong.
Unidentified persons broke into a shoe shop in the central Peruvian city of Huancayo on Sunday and made off with 200 sneakers — but they were all for the right foot, various media outlets including the BBC reported Thursday .
The heist is worth a total of 50,000 Peruvian Soles, or $13,400, Peruvian newspaper El Comercio reported Tuesday, citing another local outlet Diario Correo. The BBC reports these estimates came from the owner of the unnamed shoe shop.
Footage from the shop's security camera captured the crime, El Comercio reported. It showed the thieves breaking the padlock on their third attempt at 3.30 a.m. on Sunday and making off with boxes of shoes on a tricycle. The heist included sneakers from well-known global brands.
"We have gathered evidence at the scene. The unusual thing about this robbery is that shoes from only the right foot have been stolen" local police chief Eduan Díaz told Peruvian media, according to the BBC.
"With the footage and the fingerprints, we will be able to locate those individuals," he added.
A Tuesday tweet from El Comercio showed a photo of the messy shoe shop following the crime. The post has been viewed nearly 86,000 times so far.
Huancayo law enforcement authorities are investigating the crime, per El Comercio.
Colorado DUI suspect tried to switch seats with his dog during traffic stop, police say
Natalie Neysa Alund USA TODAY May 16, 2023
In an effort to avoid arrest during a traffic stop over the weekend, a Colorado man behind the wheel swapped places with a dog in his passenger seat, police said.
It did not work.
Police in Springfield, a town of about 1,300 people in the southeastern part of the state, said an officer pulled the man over for speeding Saturday night and watched him maneuvering inside the car before eventually getting out on the passenger side.
"The male party showed clear signs of intoxication," an officer with Springfield Police Department wrote in a Facebook post about the incident.
Police said the man claimed he was not driving, and when asked about his alcohol consumption, he ran.
The man made it 20 yards before he was taken into custody, according to police.
Police said they also learned the man, a local resident, was driving from Las Animas to Pueblo and got lost in Springfield.
The driver was taken to a hospital to be checked out, then arrested on suspicion of charges including speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol as well as on additional warrants.
"The dog was given to an acquaintance of the driver to take care of while the party was in jail," police wrote in the post. "The dog does not face any charges and was let go with just a warning."

New Bedford Library book that was nearly 120 years overdue finally returned By WBZ-News Staff, 1 day ago CBS Boston CBS Boston
Book checked out almost 120 years ago returned to New Bedford library 00:41 NEW BEDFORD - A library book from New Bedford that was checked out nearly 120 years ago was found in West Virginia and returned.
The rare books curator at West Virginia University recently found a book about electricity in their donations. It's called "An Elementary Treatise on Electricity" by James Clerk Maxwell. The slip inside showed it was checked out from the New Bedford Library and due back in December 1903.
"It's never too late to return an overdue library book!" the library posted to Facebook.
A teacher was experimenting with learned behavior and how children learned to repeat what they were taught to be true one day. So she spread out a pack of fruit flavored Life Savers and asked them what their flavors were according to their colors. As we all know Life Savers don't actually taste like fruit so she was interested to hear their replies. One by one the students identified their flavors according to each color of Life Saver. Red was cherry. Yellow was lemon. Green was lime and orange was orange.
Next the teacher handed the a new flavor of Life Savor flavor she felt the children may have never seen or tasted before. It was a rather bland color. The flavor was honey. She asked if they could identify the flavor and since none of them had ever seen or tried them before, none of them could identify it.
So the teacher told them she would give then a hint. "It's something you may sometimes hear your mother call your father."
One little girl raised her head and a look of horror quickly filled her face as she immediately spit out the Life Saver. "Oh my God they're assholes!" she screamed.
A woman decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250..00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!" The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. She insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use." "But I didn't use them." 'Well, they are here, and you could have." He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here." "But I didn't go to any of those shows.." "Well, we have them, and you could have." No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00" "That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me." "But I didn't!" "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
Jane and Arlene are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. Jane pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking. Arlene: What in the hell is that? Jane: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet. Arlene: Where did you get it? Jane: You can get them at any pharmacy. The next day, Arlene hobbles herself into the local pharmacy and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what size, texture, brand of condom she prefers. 'Doesn't matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel.' The pharmacist fainted.
I love local ads. Love local news when I travel, as well.
Both really give you a feel for the environment you're in.
Small-sh towns like the one I came from are the absolute best. Dorks, dolts and dummies that we saw everyday in school are now on our TV's at 11:30 PM. We get to laugh at them all over again.
And some can be really charming, too. We have a currently-running local ad that features a family-owned vacuum cleaner repair/resale shop. All of them are in the ad, and they really sell their roles. At the end of the commercial, they all say the tag line, in chorus:
"All of our products really [b]suck!"[/b]
I'll take that over a slick Madison Avenue ad any day.

Toledo's had some great ones. The Brondes brothers smashing cars, Janney's Hardware....the upside down place. And Clem, remember this one? Not selling anything, no contact information, but played so much that everybody in the area knew what "Carlo Sommer here..." was.
For years I thought the Trunk Monkey commercials were a north western Ohio thing. Later, found out it was actually syndicated from Portland, Oregon… But what a great ad and nostalgia.
I'm sure many of you aren't old enough to remember those old Euell Gibbons Grape Nuts commercials. He would say things like, "Have you ever ate a pine tree? Some parts are edible you know." Here is a parody of such a commercial from days of long ago. I thought our older posters may get a kick out of it.....
Granny returns to the kitchen, where once there was a commercial-sized stock pot, filled with a whole 20 lb turkey. Now, there is only broth and turkey bones.
"Dag-nabbit, Jed! I turn my back for one second, and Jethro makes dinner disappear! "Well, Granny- he's a growin' boy, and they like to snack between meals." "This one likes to snack between bites!"
I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking. My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing." The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?" At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions. Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know? Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question. Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion: A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts." I rest my case. Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap. Unknown Author~
