Headline time again

Before I get into the actual headlines with my famous witty commentary, here is a story that I find fascinating. I truly believe that one of our problems in America is we have too many people with too much free time. Now regardless of how you feel about the art below - this woman has TOO MUCH FREE TIME! (at least in my opinion)

Woman Recreates 'Last Supper' With Lint

Da Vinci's Masterpiece Has Seen Many Incarnations

ROSCOMMON, Mich. -- A northern Michigan woman has put her own spin on Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" by making a replica out of laundry lint.

Laura Bell of Roscommon collected lint from her dryer and fashioned it into a 14-foot-long, 4-foot tall reproduction of the Italian Renaissance painter's masterpiece.

Bell says she needed about 800 hours to do enough laundry to get the lint, and 200 hours to recreate the mural. She bought towels of the colors she wanted and laundered them separately to get the right shades of lint.
 
 
O.K. here we go with the headlines...
 
Police foil what they believe to be a goatnapping


It's never as easy as it looks on CSI
 
 
Man has odd explanation for running over 41 mailboxes


"I didn't see them"?? or maybe "I was trying to foil a goatnapping"??  (fyi - the real answer is he hit the "first few" by accident, then continued, to take out his frustration)
 
 
Cross-dressing shoplifters pepper-spray Home Depot customers


I HATE when that happens!

 
Now for the perfect crime defense...(no other comment needed)
 
It's tough to prosecute a guy who has next to no language skills

Drug-trafficking suspect Juan Jose Gonzalez is deaf, mute, and illiterate -- including no known knowledge of sign language. Good luck trying him in court! (these are the first lines of the story, not my comments)
 
 
 
Some sexual ones anyone??
 
Man arrested after putting porn magazines on women's cars


A marketing gimmick?
 Probably just comes under my first comment of TOO MUCH TIME!
 
 
Boy, 12, faces charges after allegedly showing his junk in class


Obviously training to be a Jets quarterback
 
 
And under the heading of any sex is good sex...
 
Man: I didn't know that the woman I was boinking was dead


Observant fellow. I just wonder when he found out? Was it good for you...
I might have to follow this case. The defense arguments will have to be entertaining.

Fame is Fleeting and some bug stuff

Well I am writing this from the scene of one of my latest moments of glory - the Comfort Suites in Colonial Heights, Va. For those of you that do not take notes of all my achievements - that was the hotel where I was (drum roll please - ) Guest of the Day about a month ago. I drove up (and parked in the Platinum Elite member space - I might add) gathered my goodies and headed in. I thought of pulling a hat down over my head and putting my collar up to hide from the photographers and autograph fans, but I had no hat and the crowds just were not really a problem. I ambled to the front desk and it was the same girl! Surely here the recognition would reign! But as I approached her I glanced to the reader board - the same reader board that not so long ago was praising me as Guest of the Day! I staggered a bit under the realization that there was another name on MY sign! Then it hit me - Guest of the Day! I had lived my glorious 24 hours and now it was time to move on. OH WOE IS ME. I curse ...

I now pronounce you..HOT! Part 2

If you have not done so, the correct way to do this is to read part 1 first. See below.. I was discussing the heat and the fact I was in a suit. 95 degrees may not seem like that big a problem to those not trying to live in it. Take my word, it is HOT, especially when dressed for much cooler weather and spending time in a building with no A/C. My son and I arrived with the portable A/Cs about 3:00 as planned. I had asked said son to stop and pick up two plug adapters due to the fact that I did not remember seeing ground plug holes on the outlets when we inspected the building earlier in the week. Of course, he did not. So we arrived at the chapel and unloaded the A/Cs and saw - the plugs would not work. He headed for the store and I started to place and prepare the A/Cs. It is now 3:45, my son is not back, the A/Cs are placed but have not been checked, airflow aimed, or even verified to work as I have no way to plug them in. A quick call determines he is almost back. A few moments l...
