Weird News Thread Part III

That's Larry Mondello

 

Reminds me of when I was much younger and buddy and his wife came to the O Club for happy hour. I knew they had an infant daughter and I asked where she was. They said: "The car."

The 1980's were different, LOL.

 

Ok....so it took me a while to get it.

Finally....

 

72 year old Oklahoma lady wacks 11 copperheads hiding under her house:

A 72-year-old Oklahoma woman is being praised online after killing 11 copperhead snakes she found slithering under her home.

Susan Thompson posted a series of photos to Facebook showing her elderly neighbor, Mrs. Newby, and the venomous snakes she killed at her Lequire home using a shotgun, a shovel and a rake.

"Mrs Newby killed 11 copperheads last night at her house! She's a snake killer if you need help call her! She is 72 years old!" Thompson wrote.

Sounds like someone needed in the West Wing!

 

I had an Aunt that married into the Pentecostals, but never really fit in with them well.

They were coming out of church one afternoon in Paoli, Oklahoma (Pentecostals start at like 9 AM and go to 2:30 or some bullshit that is clearly not in the Bible) and there is a large copperhead on the sidewalk at the base of the steps.

Now, you'd think in a congregation of Pentecostals, there would be some man, unafraid of picking up the snake and usher it off to someplace where it could find a meal, but no, because in Sister Wall's words "all the real men must have been in the bathroom" as she walked down the steps, stepped over the snake, grabbed it by it's tail and swing it like a whip and smashed it's head against the brick banister at the bottom of the steps, killing it.

She then turned and told the people at the top of the steps to come on down because she was hungry and they Devil wasn't going to stand between her and the fried chicken dinner lunch that she was hankerin' for.

I loved the shit out of that old woman. Died of aggressive breast cancer that practically ate through her skin.

 

Best anecdote I've read on BS in quite a while.

Kidd Creole of Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five fame arrested for stabbing to death a homeless guy in midtown Manhattan.

Hip-hop pioneer Kidd Creole has been charged with murder in the stabbing death of a homeless man found Tuesday night on a Midtown street, police said.

Creole, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, was arrested Wednesday and was accused of killing a 55-year-old man at the corner of E. 44th St. and Third Ave.

Glover, 57, was one of the members of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, a hip-hop group formed in the South Bronx in the 1970s.

Not to be confused with this Kid Creole.

 

Ha. Ha ha....

 

August Darnell a.k.a. Kid Creole of Kid Creole and the Coconuts wants to make it clear that despite some confusion from fans on social media, it’s the other Kidd Creole -- of hip-hop pioneers Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five -- who was recently charged with stabbing a 55-year-old homeless man to death in New York City.

Kidd Creole (Nathaniel Glover) allegedly stabbed John Jolly, a registered sex offender who had served time for raping and assaulting a woman. He had been staying at a shelter in the Bowery and had at least 16 prior arrests. Glover was taken into custody Wednesday (Aug. 2) and charged for the Tuesday night stabbing.

 

The lady in that picture wearing the really short shorts with the tassels should be fined for crimes against fashion.

 

We're having a solar eclipse on August 21st. Check out what this yutz wrote on Facebook:

 

Actually, it's rescheduling the moon.

 

I suppose, if you're being generous, you could say maybe she just meant the party but... well... y'know...

 

Well, it involves both of them in a way but, yeah... that too I guess.

 

That's relative.

Indeed. It only happens so often that I get the chance.
