The Drunk Skunk Hump
A Winnipeg man turned an East Kildonan garage into an impromptu passion pit [and] paid a stiff price yesterday for his heavy petting session with a stuffed toy dog.
"He was lying there with his genitalia exposed next to the stuffed dog," said Crown attorney John Peden. " ... the dog might be appropriately characterized as now being anatomically correct, as opposed to its condition before he removed it."
Defence lawyer Chris McCoy said his client, who has a history of domestic violence offences and court breaches, gets himself into trouble when he has been drinking.
"All (his offences) involve being drunk, usually drunk as a skunk," he said. Ah, those crazy Canucks.
Patent This, Baldy
Evidently you can patent anything in the U.S.
On May 10, 1977, for example, Patent # 4,022,227 was issued to Frank J. Smith of Orlando, Florida, for his "method ... wherein the hair on a person's head is folded over the bald area ..."
In other words, Mr. Smith patented the comb-over.
Buttcheek Banditos
Stories like this one are what keep me blogging. Really.... in Valentine, Nebraska someone slathered his bare backside — and front side — with Vaseline, then left prints on windows of businesses, schools and churches ... the pants-dropping perpetrator's spree began in May ... a local radio station dubbed them "the buttcheek bandits."
"It's just weird enough to cause a little bit of concern," said Valentine Police Chief Ben McBride. "Who in their right mind would do something like that?"

But if you really need some water, why put your faith in God when you can put your faith in the neighbours?... one home in suburban Atlanta ... according to county records ... uses an average of 390,000 gallons of water, every month. Last month? He used 440,000 gallons. Enough to fill 1000 hot tubs and then some

Pimpin' Your Pimpin'
Bishop backs brothel regulationA Roman Catholic bishop in the southern English port city of Portsmouth is backing a campaign to legalize brothels without in any way condoning them.
I would be very much happier if there was no prostitution in Portsmouth," he told The Portsmouth News. "But it's going to be there whatever we do and it has been from time immemorial. So I think that is something we have to be realistic about."

Faking It ... Now REALLY Legal!
Borelli had a map of midtown on his desk, and noted that this magazine story was likely to be written and edited in a building whose address is 4 Times Square—an honorific that predates his taking office, two years ago.
"You could say that it’s across the street from 1 Times Square or 6 Times Square ... [but ...
?]
"I’m being facetious, because where are those places?"
His map showed that 2 Times Square is five blocks north of Nos. 1, 3, and 4.
Cha-Ching!
A German bank manager gave loans to a woman for sex and then embezzled thousands of euros to buy the silence of her relatives.
When the man realised he could not offer the jobless woman a loan because of her poor credit history, he offered to lend her the money personally in return for sexual favours ... The 31-year-old then stole the money from the bank. The pair continued their arrangement for the next three years. Sex and money. What a neat idea.
What Number Were You Calling, Sir?
James Macnair, 35, was arrested by Clarkstown police yesterday afternoon when he was accused of breaking into Elim Alliance Church on Lake Road and using the church's phone to call a sex hotline.
Macnair told police that he broke into the same church Friday for the same purpose [and] was charged with two-counts of burglary, felonies, and misdemeanors of possession of burglars tools and petty larceny. If Macnair's lawyer has his wits about him, three arguments should suffice to get his client off.
1. Christians are supposed to be charitable. Sometimes a guy just has to go.
2. The church's tax-free status. It can afford to pay for the calls. And then some.
3. The reverend isn't seriously suggesting that Macnair's the first one to use Elim's telephone to call a sex hotline, is he?

A Dog's Life (Part IV)
Isn't it high time we curb at least some of our ludicrous and commercialistic urges?One of New England's oldest soda bottling companies has launched a new product. Avery's Beverages, the 103-year-old city company, began selling Woof Water, a bottled water for dogs and their companions, this past week.
General Manager Rob Metz said customers told him they wanted a water they could share with their pets. Now people want to share water with their pets?! Isn't the bottled water craze already out of control? And how long before New Englanders start sharing other things with their dogs, like some people do in Saginaw and Tacoma?
Election Day Bacchanal
Trinidad and Tobago goes to the polls on Nov. 5 in what is clearly one of the most keenly contested general elections in nearly 21 years, with three political parties in a fight to control this twin-island republic and its vast energy wealth.
Opinion polls, which have rarely been accurate in this country, are showing a wide variation in support for the different parties. While the polls provide good media fodder, voter opinion can be also be gauged at party rallies and meetings, which are more like block parties with popular music and entertainment.
There are more than 900,000 electors on the official voters list, including 18,000 Commonwealth citizens who have lived here for at least two years. There are 120 candidates, including nine independents, running for the 41 seats.

Who needs performance-enhancing drugs when you've got invisibility on your side?
