Yet another "He's Got Big Ones" Lawsuit

Back in the '70s, a group of masterminds decided to kidnap a busload of school children in Chochilla, CA. This post is soley about the idiot move from one of the braintrusts who came up with the scheme. The story is heartbreaking and these kids grew up to have so many problems and still break down...

Justice or PC? When lawsuits defy sanity.

Okay, when does it cross the line? I've been writing on some strange lawsuits that have been filed. Here are two more that fall into one of two categories: "Is this for real" or "It's about time." You tell me. 1) A disabled woman sued a ski resort because it did not provide wheelchair access to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Math Tests for the Young and Projected Infamous---This is for real

I've found several versions of this recently, and each one leaves me shaking my head. I *think* it was meant as a joke by my reading, but I still wonder who thought it was funny. I'd like to see this teacher explaning the humor in this to the parents of his students. What *ultimately* became of this... Sign in to see full entry.

So You are the Richest Person in the World...now what?

I heard a great question on the radio today. It’s one of those questions you think you’ll answer one way, but you find out that if you’re honest, you answer quite differently. If you had all the money you could want to pay people to do the tasks you don’t want to do, what would be the FIRST THING... Sign in to see full entry.

Time to lighten it up again---Best Album cover of all time

Since the boy in the claw machine was a bit traumatic to think about (unless you know me...hee hee), I need to take a less stressful topic on. I miss albums because of the covers. Yes, CDs have covers, too, but it's like looking at a Renoir on a postage stamp. It doesn't quite do it. No real limit... Sign in to see full entry.

Boy Stuck in a Vending Machine

An AP headline screamed out at me today. Seriously, a boy stuck in a vending machine. It's tough for me to read these things because my imagination is far better than what turns out to be reality. I'm double jointed---which I've recently found out is just a sign that your muscles didn't develop... Sign in to see full entry.

Things You Can't Put on a Resume

Well, you CAN put anything on your resume, but there are many you shouldn’t. I have a job interview today for a basic job, which means one full of chaos, for me. The resume is the worst part for me. I have a great one, but I’m at the point that I’m dropping things off. Invariably, the things I drop... Sign in to see full entry.

Legislators Bust Up Hotel Room...The Stones on Tour...Coincidence?

I checked the newspaper today and had a bit of a '70s flashback. Funny how the strangest little news tidbit can give you the warm fuzzies. In this case it was a story of a group of legislators getting drunk and ripping up a hotel room. But, alas, this is no wild metal band or nostalgic rock band... Sign in to see full entry.

Baseball fever-Indulge Me

My topics have been demented but a bit on the heavy side. Okay, the mariachi story was a little light since we're here and not in Mexico...but it still has to do with thievery. I need something lighter...just for today You know how you have those weird conversations through high school and college... Sign in to see full entry.
