The Pussification Continues

School Bans Tag After Parents Complain

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A Colorado Springs elementary school is banning the game of tag on its playground --
after some children complained that they'd been chased or harassed against their will. Assistant Principal Cindy
Fesgen of the Discovery Canyon Campus school said running games will be allowed, as long as students don't chase
each other.
Chase each other, yeah that pretty much describes tag. Lets see what other running games are left?
Football - you get to run, but it's to violent, no good.
Baseball - you get to run but you risk getting beaned by a baseball, no good.
Tennis - you need a court for every two or four kids in the class, no good.
Dodgeball - what are you nuts, no good.

Fesgen said two parents complained to her about the ban, but most parents and children didn't object. Two elementary schools in the nearby Falcon School District did away with tag and similar games in 2005 in favor of alternatives with less physical contact.
Less physical contact than tag? What's the name of that game? Have you been to an Elementary school lately? These kids are out of shape and overweight. Kids need to run they need physical contact (except for my 17 year old daughter).

Officials at Evans and Meridian Ranch elementaries say that encouraged more students to play games, and helped reduce playground squabbles.
Kids squabble they're supposed too, it's how they train for marriage, careers and such
The next playground game to disappear will be Hide And Seek - Everyone is hiding from me. This isn't fair I'm lonely, no one will be my friend.
We used to play "Kill The Man With The Ball" could you imagine playing that in this day and age? Some kids liable to bust a "MAC 10" out of their book bag and play the game literally.

Colorado Springs schools are not alone. Schools in Cheyenne, Wyo., Spokane, Wash., and Attleboro, Mass., have banned
tag at recess. A suburban Charleston, S.C., school not only banned tagged, but outlawed all unsupervised contact sports.

And The Stupidity Continues

Woman calls police about 'fake' cocaine
Mon Aug 13, 4:32 PM ET

ROCHELLE, Ga. - A woman was arrested after she called police to help "get her money back" after she was unhappy with the crack cocaine she purchased.

Juanita Marie Jones, 53, called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, according to police reports.

She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the drugs were "fake."

She took Officer Joel Quinn and Deputy John Shedd of the Wilcox County Sheriff's Office into her kitchen and showed them the drugs, police said.

She was promptly arrested on charges of possession of cocaine. "LINK" "VIA"

What in the hell are you doing at the age of 53 buying crack? And then to top it off you buy fake crack and then if that's not enough you call the cops to help you get your crack cash back.

I'm not a big drug type of guy maybe an Aleve every so often for a hangover but that's the extent of it. I'm not a real smart guy either but I would be a smart enough "Crackhead" to figure out that if I'm calling the cops over some bogus crack I'm running a pretty good chance of ending up in jail.
Hasn't Juanita Marie Jones ever watched an episode of "COPS"?

Nothing Good Comes From Alcohol

Woman runs over driving instructor

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Published August 6, 2007

NAPLES - A man giving a 30-year-old woman a driving lesson had to be airlifted to a hospital after the woman accidentally ran over him, the Collier County Sheriff's Office said.

David Tanner, 51, was teaching Victoria Hosner how to drive Thursday night when she accidentally hit the gas pedal and accelerated backward, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Tanner was standing near the vehicle and was knocked to the ground. Victoria Hosner then ran over Tanner's leg.

"It was totally an accident," Victoria Hosner's husband, David Hosner, said.

Victoria Hosner continued to drive in reverse and caused about $6,000 worth of damage, authorities estimated.

Tanner was airlifted to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers. He was discharged by Sunday, according to hospital records.

A deputy thought Hosner's eyes were bloodshot and her breath smelled of alcohol, according to the Sheriff's Office. A test measured her blood-alcohol level at .146, above .08, at which the state presumes a driver impaired.

Hosner faces charges of driving under the influence, three counts of driving under the influence with damage to property or to a person and driving without a license.

She was released on $4,250 bail Friday, according to jail records.

What did this lady think she was a "flight attendant"? Looks like a big week for drunks. How come the driving instructor didn't pick up on the bloodshot eyes or ListerBeam breath? And how fast do you have to be going in reverse do pull off $6000.00 in damages? Maybe she crashed into a $5000.00 statue, who knows..................
I would imagine if you were a driving instructor your biggest fear would be being involved in an accident while inside the car, this poor cat probably never imagined being injured while being on the outside of the car.

I've Seen most Everything Now

We have skins for iPods, X-Boxes and even cars, but as of this morning I have seen the ultimate skin - it's for your dishwasher. That's right as of now your dishwasher is skinable thank to "Dishwasher Art". Thinks of how hideous Grandma's kitchen was, well now you can be the proud owner of something just as hideous.
The best part is that you can get the skins magnetized so you can swap out the skins for the season.

How To Hack An ATM

Robbers are being sought in Gwinnett County after stealing entire ATMs with large backhoe tractors in Dacula.
The latest heist was caught on bank surveillance cameras.

The thieves try several times to get the blade angle right on the stolen loader so they can lift the first of two ATMs.
From a camera on the second ATM, one of the robbers is plainly visible. Then the first ATM can be seen being loaded onto a truck.

In their rush to get away, the thieves -- who had the ATMs in the back of their pickup truck --wrecked before they were able to get the money out of the ATMs.
So for all their work, the thieves, in that case, didn't get a dime.

Can You Say Lawsuit/ I Knew You Could..... Part II

Check out the latest taste treat from "Kellogg's". Look they are even shaped like Lego's. I wonder how long it's going to take for Lil' Johnny to find a real Lego in the bottom of his toy box, pick it up and swallow it. Well at least they contain 100% of the daily requirement for Vitamin C.
Someone's gonna get sued over these.

What A Week

Michael Vick come on how stupid can one person be? Lets see you get paid MILLIONS of dollars, you've flipped off the people that help to pay your salary and now you think you're so special that the TSA is going to let you bring your water bottle through security. I just bet it was a great first meeting with your new boss.
"Well Coach I guess you're right I am a total dumb ass". All these celebrities have all this money if you must partake think about paying someone $20 or $30k a year to tote your dope around. Plenty of links to read up about Mr. Vick "LINK" and in case you want your own secret water bottle try this "LINK"


There are few thing worse that a pissed off 9 year old, that knows how steal a car and make two flight connections before getting busted. His Mom seems to think that video games helped him with the whole "How do I drive this car" part of the scenario.
I am willing to bet that this little delinquent managed an upgrade on at least one of those flights. Hey TSA thanks for protecting us, well at least they managed to find Michael Vicks special herb water bottle. "LINK"


I have often heard that the difference between the trash and girls from New Jersey is at least the trash gets taken out. The trash and Miss New Jersey that is. You know the whole Miss America, Miss USA thing seems to have lost some of it's luster some of it's status could it be because Burt Parks has retired, who knows. I do love the scandals first Tara Conner gets a second chance then we get to see pictures of Miss Nevada going through her BUG phase (Bi-Sexual Until Graduation) and now for the hat trick we got us a pregnant one. These pageant girls appear to have more fun than their predecessors I must say.

Can You Say Lawsuit/ I Knew You Could.....

So there I was with a set of jumper cables and a can of Crisco...
Get this I check in my hotel room last night bump on the bathroom light and what do my eyes behold but the above little electrical ergonomics mix.
Now I haven't used a hair dry in lets say a few years but damn this hotel must have some mighty fine liability insurance to risk installing this 110 volt wall mounted death trap.
If I did have hair I think I'd risk a bad hair day versus and bad electrical shock day.
