Weird News Thread Part III

Cell phones ruin all the bro-ey fun these days

 

I wonder why a sober pilot would think that was a good idea unless it was a female who decided "enough"!!

 

Reading Rainbow/Star Trek: TNG star LeVar Burton getting angry Tweets from Trump fans who think he is LaVar Ball.

 

News ripped from the pages of David Lynch's notebook:

In any other part of the world, a sneaker with a human foot washing ashore might be a terrifying discovery, enough to frighten residents and stir fears of a gruesome murder or a serial killer on the loose. But not in British Columbia, where these discoveries have become so common that they are tracked. It was the 13th foot to wash ashore since 2007.

“It’s just a freak thing that it happened to be here,” said Mr. Johns, 56, who lives in Jordan River, a surfer’s village about 70 miles southwest of Vancouver, Canada.

Mr. Johns said he called the police and then used a stick to pick up what remained of the leg, carried it back to his property and locked it in his greenhouse. He worried that if it remained on the beach, it would have washed back into the ocean or attracted the bear hanging around town or an eagle from the nearby nest.​

Did it have nail polish?

 

Maybe "Coen brothers" would've worked better in my post...

 

Oy and vey!

In push for gender-neutral language, Easthampton 'freshmen' to be called 'first years'

Wait until someone tells them that the "moros" root in the word "sophomore" is the same root by which we get the word "moron."

 

That actually makes sense.
Freshmen is an awful name, anyway.

There are way bigger problems and much weirder news out there.

Well, having met many sophomores, it is definitely appropriate!

 

A couple of guy's would beg to differ!

 

Also, one of the great movies of the 1990's would not sound quite as good.

The "First Yearer" just would not work.

 

Apologies if this was shared when it was current a year or so ago - "US farmers have been caught feeding red Skittles to their cattle." Make sure you read the part after the text break as tere's info on how more widely used bakery and candy goods are for "cheap carbs" for cattle.

 

Mr. America. Doing fine with no Right-Wing.

And takes up residence in the lib'rul, urban hellhole of Detroit.

There is a chance at bipartisanship!

 

I thought it would be to make red milk

 

Next big problem in the ranching industry, diabetic cattle.

You heard it here first.

 

I'll thank you to keep my mother-in-law out of this!

 

Has Oregon burned to the ground with all of them pumping their own gas?

 

They're working at it.

 

Jersey's the last pump-yer-own state now. I dont go out there in the rain, snow or 10 degree weather. And my gas is cheaper than New York's.

 

What IS this thing about pumping gas in the states. Over here it's been self-service for a long time but I read that in NJ, for instance, you're not ALLOWED to pump it yourself.

Maybe that should be NJ's tourist board's, (assuming there IS such a thing), campaign message... 'Welcome to New Jersey and the 1960's'

 

I'm assuming you've never met anyone from New Jersey.

 

I'm sure that @usscouse won't have any problem pumping his own...but then...he is a Liverpool fan!

Ps...especially when there is an Arsenal fan next pump over.

 

Actually, yes. Quite a few back in the day.

I remember having an excellent steak at a place called 'Chubby's' in Camden, IIRC. Just across the river from Philly but, like many business trips, it was a matter of seeing the inside of a hotel, the inside of an office, the inside of a cab, etc. etc. etc.

So ALL of the people I met were business people and they're a different breed pretty much across the world I'm afraid.
