Spongebob - Chocolate with nuts(censored)
T&R Randomness
Headline: Quinn readies for job he may not Get
What they Said: Brown QB coach Rip Scherer is trying to tweak the way Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn throw. Each has accepted the changes Scherer wants them to make. On top of that, Scherer has to make sure Quinn keeps his head knowing the only way he starts this year is if Anderson is injured or completely flops.
Words of Wisdom: That is like Vinny Testaverde getting ready to play in a game, you just know he won't do well, same basic principal here only Quinn at least has a shot.
Headline: Owens to Raiders in 2009?
What they Said: The Raiders and Terrell Owens, a match made in ... 2009? It could happen. It could not. But let's delve into the possibility of merging the NFL's most notorious wide receiver with the Raiders' future cornerstones, quarterback JaMarcus Russell and running back Darren McFadden. That would be a potent cocktail of offensive talent, and perhaps that could entice Owens into a Bay Area encore, having fled the 49ers in 2004 after eight seasons. So why bring this up now? Because his three-year contract -- and three-step career revival -- with the Dallas Cowboys ends after this coming season.
Words of Wisdom: If someone seriously thinks this will happen think again.
Headline: Experts: Mets put Church in Danger
Experts in the field of concussion management said the Mets have put Ryan Church at significant medical risk by having him play through dizziness, lethargy and headaches. Church sustained what the team called a mild concussion on May 20 against the Braves. While sliding into second base, his head slammed into the knee of an opponent and then fell hard onto the dirt. He missed the next game, but volunteered to pinch-hit four times since. Several experts in sports-related concussions, however, said that Church -- who has told reporters that he has had a headache and has felt dizzy and tired almost every day since his injury -- should not have been allowed to play at all because his symptoms had not cleared.
Words of Wisdom: You would think that these types of people would know as much as a bunch of sports geeks wouldn't you? Well, no. It is amazing how the fans know better than the team... I can't figure that out.
The Unprinted News
The Deal: Police hunt for robbers wearing thongs as Masks
Police in a Colorado town are searching for two robbers whose masks showed plenty of fashion sense but little modesty: women's thong underwear. A surveillance video released this week by police in Arvada, Colo., shows two unarmed men inside the convenience store. They stole an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes in the robbery May 16. One man wore a green thong and the other wore blue. Each thong barely covered the man's nose, mouth and chin and left the rest of his face exposed. One also wore a pink backpack in which he stuffed the stolen items.
The Take: This is just as bad as Jason Giambi's golden thong, I if these guys got that idea from Jason.
The Deal: Astronauts on the International Space Station are hoping an urgent delivery from Earth will solve a delicate problem - their only toilet is broken.
One giant leak for mankind. The team has been been putting up with a space jam for about a week since the lav started playing up. A Nasa employee is rushing from Russia to Florida with a new pump, which will be taken to the station on the shuttle Discovery on Saturday. The station's sole toilet is housed in the Russian-built Zvezda module, which serves as the living quarters for the three-person crew. Nasa decided to fly a new pump for the interplanetary porcelain on Discovery, even though it means leaving other equipment behind. "Clearly having a working toilet is a priority for us," said Scott Higginbotham of Nasa.
The Take: There are just no words to describe how messed up this is.
The Deal: Woman strips in anger at wolf Whistles
A woman who felt harassed when road workers whistled at her stripped naked in response, police said. Workmen in the small northern farming town of Kerikeri, New Zealand, were repairing the main street when the young woman, an Israeli tourist, took offence at their attention. She calmly stripped bare to use an ATM - bringing an abrupt halt to both the whistles and the road work - then put her clothes back on and walked away. "She said she had thought '... I'll show them what I've got,' " as the men whistled at her, he said. "She gave the explanation that she had been ... pestered by New Zealand men. She's not an unattractive-looking lady," he said. "She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate (behaviour) in New Zealand," he added.
The Take: So let me get this straight... you strip and expect things to be all well and fine? Where did you go to school?
The Deal: Houston to spend $150K to defend police beard Ban
City officials are apparently willing to dig deep to defend the police department's ban on beards. The Houston City Council on Wednesday unanimously authorized spending up to $150,000 to defend the city in a lawsuit challenging the no-facial hair policy.
"The lawsuit is pending and we have to defend ourselves," Councilman Ron Green said. "But we're basically saying we want new police officers, but we don't want police officers with beards." Four police officers filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in November claiming the policy is discriminatory. The officers say the prohibition on beards and goatees is unfair for men who suffer a skin condition that reacts negatively to shaving. The condition can cause severe irritation, rashes and ingrown hair. Officers said the policy unfairly effects their earning potential, both within the department and at secondary jobs.
The Take: No comment.
The Deal: New York town repeals ban on Clotheslines
Town board members who had drawn the line at hanging clothes outside to dry are cutting residents some slack: It's OK for them to use clotheslines now. The Southampton Town board has lifted a ban on clotheslines that had stood since 2002, when some homeowners complained the laundry on their neighbors' lawns was making the tony Hamptons town look shabby. But no one objected when the town board voted Tuesday night to repeal the ban.
The Take: You really have to love New York.
The Deal: Man accused of spraying woman's shoes with Water
A woman told Cincinnati police that she heard a noise and then felt something cold on her feet. Police said a man crawled under a table at a University of Cincinnati library and used a syringe to spray saltwater onto the woman's shoes.
Dwight Pannell, 43, of Columbus, was booked on charges of voyeurism, assault and criminal trespass, court records show. Pannell was silent in court a court appearance on Thursday. His attorney argued that Pannell's alleged actions didn't warrant the charges against him. The woman told officers that after she heard something coming from under her table and felt the sensation on her feet, she looked down and saw a man on his knee holding a syringe. The judge set Pannell's bond at $75,000.
The Take: First way to know he is crazy: he pulls that stupid stunt, second way: his mug shot up there doesn't really help him look sane.
The Deal: Iowa man says he planned to compost pot, not Smoke
Police in Iowa say a man caught with a large quantity of marijuana claimed all he had in mind was recycling. A complaint by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office says the 30-year-old man told police in Iowa City that he planned to turn several large bags of marijuana into compost. Officers report the bags he had when he was arrested early Saturday held a "gallon" or more of marijuana each. The complaint says officers didn't buy the compost story. The suspect remained in jail Sunday without posting $14,000 bail on a charge of possessing marijuana with intent to distribute.
The Take: And to think America couldn't get any stupider.
The Deal: Ticketed driver pays Wis. fine, 21 years Later
Someone in Texas apparently had a guilty conscience, paying up on a parking ticket handed out 21 years before. The Kenosha Police Department says officers found a $6 payment for the ticket, issued Jan. 20, 1987, in a drop box. A notice on the ticket indicated that failure to pay within 120 hours would result in doubling of the $3 forfeiture. It was signed by a man who listed a Dallas address.
The Take: No comment.
Idiot of the Week
Georgia teenager a real pain in the Butt
The Deal: A 15-year-old boy in Lovejoy, Ga., allegedly bit or grabbed the buttocks of at least 10 women at a Wal-Mart store over several months, police say. Clayton County police allege the unidentified teenager assaulted the backsides of several women shopping in the retail store, before being confronted by one of his victims, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday. The newspaper said the middle school student is now facing four counts of sexual battery and could face additional related charges in the future.
The Take: And to think we thought dogs were bad. Humans are worse. Why doesn't that surprise me?

John West Fisherman and Bear Fight
Shaquille O'Neal Breaks Down The Backboard - This doesn't get old
T&R Randomness:
Headline: Brady gives lineman new Cars
What the Said: Some quarterbacks will take their offensive linemen out for a steak dinner at the end of the season to thank them for their protection. Others might gift their offensive line with Rolex watches. That is, if they're lucky. As Dan Koppen, Logan Mankins and Stephen Neal found out last night, he tends to operate on a much grander scale than most quarterbacks. Dinner? Fancy watch? Brady presented the three offensive linemen who came to his event with an Audi Q7 SUV to kick off the Audi Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port.
Responce: Awww. Pardon me now while I go throw up. I haven't quite figured out why this was in T&R.
Headline: Welker reveals secret to Moss
What they Said: Over the course of his remarkable 112-catch season last year, Wes Welker added a distinguished admirer to what has become a growing legion of boosters - Randy Moss. The two were naturally spending a lot of time together as Patriots receivers, and it wasn't long before Moss started chatting up Welker on some of the finer points of his smooth route-running. How do you get in and out of your cuts so efficiently while running full speed? What helps you find those creases in tight spaces, which is such a key in the NFL passing game these days? Tell me more about your footwork. Welker shared with Moss that he believed his background in soccer was a big part of it. He started playing soccer when he was 4 years old, and continued through his senior year at Heritage Hall High School in Oklahoma City. Welker still keeps a soccer ball close by, and regularly uses it as part of his football training. He juggles it between his feet, not allowing it to touch the ground. Sometimes it's the simple skill of possessing the ball, on the ground, with the bottom of his feet. Or he'll dribble it between his feet as he surges up and down the field, focusing on short, quick cuts.
Responce: That was for the media here is Welker true secret: Welker: ok, now place the camera right here and they will never suspect that we got the signals on tape... Moss: I don't know, it just seems wrong.... Welker: So? ... Moss: You are right.
Headline: Young sorry for interenet Photo's
What they Said: To Vince Young, it was simply a night on the town. A good time with friends and an offseason release from the pressure that goes with being an NFL quarterback. With the push of a button, however, it became something much bigger. Photos of the partying Titans quarterback on the Internet last week appeared mostly innocent, but they led to questions about everything from his football commitment to his lifestyle... "I apologize to some of the kids if they did see it because I am trying to be a role model for them," Young said after practice Thursday. "But at the same time, I was just trying to have fun."
Responce: I swear the media is just trying to boost ratings. Look, while these photos aren't exactly what his followers want to see, Vince still has a right to do what he wants and it isn't like he did anything wrong.... I don't see him being like Roger Clemens....
Just plain Disgusting:
Check this out, it is a facial but, somehow I doubt anyone will want it except those who aren't quite right.
The Really Outside News:
The Deal: Woman nabbed for alleged DUI at same crash Spot
Call it drunken driving deja vu. For the second time in five months, a 23-year-old California woman has been arrested after she allegedly crashed her car while driving under the influence at the exact same spot north of Lake Tahoe.
The Take: Start over or start back where you started from, she obviosuly had a problem with starting over.
Man accused of repeatedly calling 911 for Cab
A man accused of calling 911 15 times in a row because he was tired of waiting for a cab was arrested early Tuesday, police said.
The Take: Look, I would get irritated but, calling 911? Mental....
The Deal: Romp in woods ends in charges for airline workers
A pilot's nighttime romp in the woods with a flight attendant has ended with both suspended and under arrest, police said
The Take: This sounds like something Roger Clemens would do....... Oh God!!! It's spreading from sports to the airlines, what is next?
The Deal: Snake Man
A man has escaped from his Austrian jail cell by squeezing through a food hatch in the door, police said on Wednesday. The 19-year old Kosovan, who weighed less than 121 pounds, was being held at the prison in Linz for entering the country illegally, police spokesman Alexander Niederwimmer told APA news agency.
The Take: Let me guess he also sleeps with snakes, eats what they do too right...
The Deal: Philippine police officers told to smile, or else
Philippine police officers were instructed Wednesday to smile in public or face suspension in an attempt to spruce up their image as rough and rude.
The Take: Hey nothing says, we aren't rude better than a smile right?
The Deal: Mexican donkey freed from jail after assault
A Mexican donkey has been freed from jail after doing time for assault and battery. The Televisa network on Wednesday showed "Blacky" gobbling food from a bucket after spending three days in a jail that normally holds people for public drunkenness and other disturbances.
The Take: ****? And to think I thought the world was getting back to normal.
The Deal: Kids picking up trash discover hand grenade
Three children picking up trash along a river in Hudson for community service work found much more than garbage. Charlie Thompson, 11, Maddie Roth, 10, and Demetri Roth, 8, came across a hand grenade, picked it up and headed home to show off their discovery.
The Take: Hey mom look what we found!!! What a great gift for any holiday.
The Deal: Pilots run out of fuel, pray, land near Jesus sign
It seemed like an almost literal answer to their prayers. When two New Zealand pilots ran out of fuel in a microlight airplane they offered prayers and were able to make an emergency landing in a field - coming to rest right next to a sign reading, "Jesus is Lord."
The Take: Yeah about that....
The Deal: Great-great-grandmother, 96, does laps at Indy
A 96-year-old great-great-grandmother says it was "fun" going around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 180 mph. "Oh, that was fun!" Edith Pittenger of Muncie said recently after taking a trip around the famous track in a two-seater Dallara with driver Arie Luyendyk Jr.
The Take: Go Grandma!!! And I thought my grandmother lived on the edge.
The Deal: High gas prices drive farmer to switch to mules
High gas prices have driven a Warren County farmer and his sons to hitch a tractor rake to a pair of mules to gather hay from their fields. T.R. Raymond bought Dolly and Molly at the Dixon mule sale last year. Son Danny Raymond trained them and also modified the tractor rake so the mules could pull it.
The Take: Next thing you know, we will all be on mules, maybe horse for those long trips.
The Deal: Ky. 'Duct tape bandit' sentenced to 10 years
A man who wrapped his head in duct tape and tried to rob an eastern Kentucky liquor store was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison for the bizarre caper which spawned mocking videos on YouTube.
The Take: And people at my school say I'm retarded. They haven't met this guy.
Idiot of the Week:
The Idiot: Man stealing pipes from Pa. fast-food bathrooms
Somebody's pulling the pipes out of men's rooms in fast-food restaurants and you can bet that this guy is a mental patient.
Words of Wisdom: Mental, check. Stupid, check. Smart, depends on what you mean, smart in his own world or in reality.

T&R Randomness:
Headline: Cavs fan sneaks into locker Room
What they Said: A little-known fact of life that helps open many doors is that if you simply look like you know what you're doing, you'll fit right in. Take, for example, the bold and enterprising fan who wandered down to the Cavaliers' locker room before Game 3 at The Q. The fan wore a pass that resembled the credentials that hang around the necks of media members, but the fine print included no media affiliation. No matter. The man still managed to wander into coach Mike Brown's press conference held just outside the locker room, and he not only crowded around Brown with the rest of the reporters, but also couldn't resist asking a question. "Hey, is LeBron going to score 50?" he blurted. Brown appeared flummoxed for a second before responding, "Uh, I hope so." The fan, donning a red "Rise Up" T-shirt that should have been the tip-off that he wasn't a real reporter, then wandered into the Cavaliers' locker room before Cavaliers employees realized he shouldn't be there and chased him out.
Response: How did this even end up in T&R? What is the world coming to?
Headline: Mets pitcher rips Nats Cheerleading
What they Said: Incensed at the chants emanating from the Washington dugout during the Mets' 10-4 loss Monday night at Shea, Mets pitcher Nelson Figueroa ripped the Nationals afterward. "They were cheerleading in the dugout like a bunch of softball girls," Figueroa said. "I'm a professional, just like anybody else. I take huge offense to that. If that's what a last-place team needs to do to fire themselves up, so be it. I think you need to show a little bit more class, a little bit more professionalism. They won tonight, but again, in the long run, they are who they are."
Response: Well not only does the team suck, the Nats cheerleading sucks too, doesn't get better than this.
Headline: Why SpyGate isn't over Yet
What they Said: Matt Walsh may be off the hook, but SpyGate isn't over yet. The league is planning to re-interview former Patriots defensive assistant Brian Daboll, currently the Jets' QB coach, because of questions surrounding the infamous walkthrough. In his meeting with Goodell, Walsh admitted he was on the sideline during the Rams' walkthrough - in Patriots garb, no less - preparing his equipment for the game. Walsh told Goodell he didn't tape the session and wasn't instructed to spy, per se, but he revealed that Daboll quizzed him afterward. Walsh told Daboll he noticed that star running back Marshall Faulk was returning kickoffs, league attorney Gregg Levy said. (Faulk did, in fact, return one kickoff in the game.) Daboll also asked Walsh about the Rams' offensive formations, particularly the role of the tight end, according to Levy, who said the Walsh-Daboll conversation lasted less than 10 minutes. "What Matt Walsh told us was inconsistent with our prior understanding," league spokesman Greg Aiello said in an e-mail. "Brian Daboll did not tell us that."
Response: Next headline wil read: "Why SpyGate will never end."
Headline: Did Romo break up with Jessica?
What they Said: After taking several oaths not to divulge my sources, two people close to Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson have told me that the glam couple is splitsville, kaput, over, put a fork in it. But on Wednesday, Jessica's rep shot down those reports telling E! Online, "Not true, not true! I spoke to Jess yesterday and the day before. They are still together." E! also sites an anonymous source as saying that Tony will be her date this weekend to her sister, Ashlee's, wedding to Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz.
Response: Well, if he did break up with her that would explain his bad singing at Wrigley Field the other day.
‘Greatest' Quote of the Week:

The Really Outside News:
The Deal: Baby subpoenaed for unpaid chiropractor Bill
A Harrisonburg court has dismissed a case against a baby boy summoned to appear in court for an unpaid bill. Richard White said he was shocked when he got a subpoena in the mail requiring his 1-year-old son, Jacy, to appear in Rockingham County General District Court next Tuesday over a $391 chiropractor bill. Neither of Jacy's parents was named in the lawsuit, which has been dismissed at the request of the plaintiff. Shortly after his son's birth in April 2007, White says he took Jacy to the chiropractor. He suspects that when the family moved, the office updated records for everyone but Jacy. White says his insurance didn't cover the $391 and only recently billed him , about the same time the residents of his former home forwarded the subpoena.
The Take: And I thought people couldn't get any dumber.
The Deal: SpongeBob SquarePants image painted on historic Colo. Cabin
The U.S. Forest Service is looking for the "SpongeBob fanatics" who painted the cartoon character on the chimney of a historic building. The 10-foot tall painting of Nickelodeon character SpongeBob SquarePants is on a cabin in the Pike National Forest that used to be the Forest Service's tree nursery until it was abandoned in the 1930s. Forest Service law enforcement officer Tom Healy says the incident is part of an increase in vandalism in the area. Officials say whoever painted the cartoon on the chimney brought four colors of paint and that it was a time-consuming venture. Healy says it will cost several thousand dollars to wipe the animated yellow sea sponge's image from the site.
The Take: SpongeBob on a Cabin? What is next Roger Clemens?
The Deal: Solar Bra
Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod. Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach. The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it." But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet, Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it. Being eco-friendly is now fashionable in Japan, and the "Solar Energy Bra" follows the company's other green-themed undergarments that include a bra that turns into a reusable shopping bag and one that featured metal chopsticks to promote the use of reusable chopsticks. "It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well," model Yuko Ishida said.
The Take: No comment.
The Deal: Police say men trying to steal power lines shocked
Two Somerset County men are charged with trying to steal live power lines that were still attached to a transformer and utility poles.
The Take: Oh well no **** they would get shocked.
The Deal: Wis. man won't buy gas for 31 days, maybe longer
Brian LaFave couldn't care less how high gasoline prices climb these days - he's parked his pickup truck and is refusing to buy gas for a month, possibly longer.
The Take: Well, its on the boarderline of sanity but.....
The Deal: 'Darth Vader' spared jail in Jedi church attacks
A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday.
The Take: Well looks like Darth Vader gone physico.
The Deal: NYC cabbie is fined $1,000 for foul-mouthed tirade
The days of the cursing cabbie may be over. A New York City cab driver has been fined $1,000 for launching a foul-mouthed tirade at another cabbie.
The Take: You gotta love New York.
Idiot(s) of the Week:
The Idiots: Jets Blue
A New York City man is suing JetBlue Airways Corp. for more than $2 million because he says a pilot made him give up his seat to a flight attendant and sit on the toilet for more than three hours on a flight from California. The pilot told him 1 1/2 hours into the five-hour flight that he would have to relinquish the seat to the flight attendant, court papers say. But the pilot said that Mutlu could not sit in the jump seat because only JetBlue employees were permitted to sit there, the lawsuit said. When Mutlu expressed reluctance to go sit in the bathroom, the pilot, who was not named in the lawsuit, told him that "he was the pilot, that this was his plane, under his command that (Mutlu) should be grateful for being on board," the lawsuit said. When the aircraft hit turbulence and passengers were directed to return to their seats, but "the plaintiff had no seat to return to, sitting on a toilet stool with no seat belts," court papers say.
Words of Wisdom: I'm flying Continental next time. When the hell is wrong with Jet Blue? There goes all of their business (get it buisness, yeah okay corny pun, whatever.)

T&R Randomness:
Headline: Inside Pacman's Cowboys payday
What they Said: If Pacman Jones is to be paid like one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, he will have to earn it. The four-year contract Jones signed with the Cowboys is worth $13.3 million, although he has a chance to earn more should he hit an escalator that would raise his 2011 base salary to the franchise tag for a cornerback. The 2008 tag is $9.465 million. Provided he is reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Jones will earn a $700,000 base salary this year, but he will not receive any signing bonus. The base salaries in 2009-11 are $1 million, $3 million and $7.25 million.
Responce: And to think we were stupid enough to beleive these stories about Pacman would go away.
Headline: Stripper claims Clemens affair
What they Said: The bombshell revelations continued yesterday, when a former stripper told a Detroit radio station she also had an affair with Roger Clemens, who is the target of an FBI perjury investigation. Clemens' legal team contacted Mindy McCready's lawyers in recent days, The News has learned. It is unclear what was discussed.
Responce: First the singer, now the stripper. I'm waiting for something about him and Barry Bonds.
Headline: Benson pepper-sprayed, arrested
What they Said: Bears running back Cedric Benson was arrested late Saturday night near Austin, Texas, and charged with boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest, both Class B misdemeanors. According to a sergeant from the Travis County Sheriff's office, Benson, who played at the University of Texas in Austin, was arrested by the Lower Colorado River Authority. A LCRA spokesperson said that Benson, who failed a sobriety "float test" (an abbreviated version of a field sobriety test) on the boat, argued over taking a follow-up test on land and refused to put on a life jacket. LCRA police attempted to arrest Benson at that time but he refused to cooperate and was pepper sprayed
Respoonce: Genius. He gets injured during the season, arrested and pepper-sprayed. How long does he think he will last in Chicago?
Headline: Mendenhall robbed in Chicago
What they Said: Halfback Rashard Mendenhall, the Steelers' first-round draft choice, was robbed at gunpoint while walking with a female friend along Chicago's lakefront early yesterday morning, according to the Chicago police and Mendenhall's agent, Mike McCartney. Neither Mendenhall, 20, nor his friend, was hurt during the robbery in which his wallet and cell phone were stolen, according to McCartney, who said Mendenhall didn't try to resist the robbery.
Responce: Welcome to Pittsburgh where once you get drafted, you get robbed.

The Deal: Conn. boy finally takes off Packers jersey after 1,581 days
David Witthoft finally shunned his Brett Favre jersey for a red shirt for the first time in 1,581 days. The 12-year-old Ridgefield, Conn. boy wore the No. 4 jersey every day since receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003.
David's father, Chuck Witthoft, said Monday that his son's last day wearing the jersey was April 23 on his 12th birthday. Witthoft conceded his son was starting to become more concerned about his appearance after the jersey barely came down to his belt line.
Witthoft first gained national attention three years ago, and attended his first Packers game in December. He's also planning to attend the Sept. 8 game when the Packers retire Favre's No. 4.
His mother, Carolyn, had washed the jersey every other day and mended it when needed.
The Take: Nice to know he showed his fandom but, this was a crazy. Makes me wonder why this was on the news and T&R.
The Deal: Man arrested for allegedly punching camel at Six Flags
A man has been arrested for allegedly punching a camel on a dare at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Vallejo police say 24-year-old Christopher Allen was dared by a friend to enter a restricted at the theme park where the camel was kept, and punch it.
He did, police say, and got arrested for his troubles.
Police say Allen was detained by park security, but soon escaped and ran from the park with his friends.
Police finally caught up with Allen and arrested him and the driver of his getaway car, Chrissy Thatcher.
THe Take: The headline should say; Retard punches Camel.
The Deal: Driver gets in wreck, sees his home catch fire, gets ticket
One moment, Justin Hill was turning into his driveway. Minutes later he was being flown to a hospital as his home went up in flames. Then he got a traffic ticket.
Hill, 42, got into a crash after turning into the path of an oncoming car Tuesday evening, said Tennessee Highway Patrol Officer Monte Terry. Hill's wife heard the crash and ran outside, leaving the kitchen stove, where she had been cooking, unattended.
Within minutes, their Rock Island trailer was on fire, and firefighters who had responded to the accident found themselves fighting the blaze.
The rural central Tennessee home had extensive damage. Hill was treated at the hospital and released, but he was cited in the accident for failure to yield.
The Take: Doesn't it want to make you say, oh ****?
The Deal: Police Officer Charged With Cow Sex
A former Pennsylvania police officer who had been suspended after being charged with sexually assaulting three girls now also faces charges with having sex with cows at various times between June and December of 2006. The 38-year-old officer was charge with sexual assault along with his girlfriend
The Take: And I though the police were the only sane ones left.
The Deal: Wisconsin Man Can't Stop Urinating in Stores
Jeremy S. Pope was ordered to stay out of Target stores by a Wisconsin judge, after he was caught urinating on bras and panties. He was charged with a similar crime at another store months earlier. "Yeah, I have a problem," he allegedly told police. "I feel sexually attracted to urine."
The Take: This guy has issues. Feeling attracted to urine? Just like that cop was attracted to cows? No wonder this stuff is becoming more and more commen.
The Deal: Teens Video Castle Vandalism
Five Connecticut teens allegedly broke into a castle at Tarrywile Park, and videoed themselves urinating on the floors and trashing the walls of the mansion, built in 1896, with hammers. Police say all the evidence they need was posted on YouTube.
The Take: So they try to get away with it and then post it on YouTube... Dealing with idiots, I know, I forgot.
The Deal: Police Issue Gun Permit to 10-Month-Old Boy
Someone sent an application for a gun permit for a white male named Bubba Ludwig, a lawful citizen who had never been convicted of a felony or addicted to drugs. Unfortunately, they didn't ask if he was a baby.
The Take: This proves my point... The world is coming to an end.
The Deal: World Population to Hit 6,666,666,666 in May
If the repetition of "666" doesn't send chills up your spin, you've never read the Bible . . . or watched "Rosemary's Baby."
The Take: Further proving my point, the world is coming to an end.

Throwdown Randomness:
Rule-Changing TD it is gold; http://www.fannation.com/throwdowns/show/161617
T&R Randomness:
Headline: Report: D-Wade dating Star Jones
What they Said: Star Jones, reportedly dating Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, has filed for a divorce from her husband of about three years, Al Reynolds.
Responce: And just when you thought, you had heard everyhthing. Excuse me while I go and vomit.
Headline: McFadden's Mom doesn't like New York
What they Said: What do Darren McFadden's mom and Rudy Giuliani have in common? They both have strong feelings about New York. He loves it. She can't stand it. "I hate New York; it's too big," said Mini Muhammad, whose son is generally regarded as the top running back in this weekend's NFL draft and is coveted by the New York Jets, who pick sixth. What's more, McFadden's mom doesn't necessarily want to see him wind up on the West Coast either, where the Oakland Raiders are eyeing him for the fourth pick. She said she hates California for the same reason: Too big. Given her druthers, Muhammad would love to see her son, a former Arkansas star, land closer to their home in Little Rock. "The Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, whatever team they've got there in Tennessee," she said while attending a luncheon at Chelsea Piers for the top draft prospects. "But we want what's good for him, whatever they say. I'd rather particularly he'd go to Dallas, I really do."
Responce: I know his mom has to be new to this because she is going to like nowhere when her son could possibly hurt himself. And you know she is really new when she says: "whatever team they've got there in Tennessee."
Headline: Bengals planning for Chad's Exit?
What they Said: A new era is dawning for the Bengals' wide receiver corps. The early selection of two wideouts in the 2008 NFL draft -- Coastal Carolina University's Jerome Simpson in the second round Saturday, April 26, and Florida's Andre Caldwell in the third round Sunday -- signals changes are coming. Here's why: Chad Johnson is demanding a trade; T.J. Houshmandzadeh will command big money in 2009 when his contract expires at the end of this season; and Chris Henry is gone, released April 3. "You always have to stay ahead of the curve," said Bengals offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski.
Responce: Now they want to oust Johnson after all that garbage about keeping him. Huh and they say the Jets have problems, the Bengals have as much issues as a gender-confused human.
Headline: Eagles pass on Saints Trade
What they Said: The one thing you thought you knew going into the draft was that the Birds were going to trade Lito Sheppard, probably for something like the second- and fifth-round draft choices the Falcons got when they traded DeAngelo Hall. Team sources had hinted the offers were in that range; one report said the Eagles were deciding last week whether to accept the Saints' second-round pick, 40th overall. Well, the Saints used that pick to draft a cornerback, Tracy Porter. And suddenly, it was yesterday evening, and Andy Reid was explaining in his postdraft wrapup press conference that the offers this weekend for Sheppard were "not significant ones."
Responce: Seriously, how do you trade a guy if you won't except any trades? Explain that one to me.
Outside News:
The Deal: A state Senate panel rejected a bill on Tuesday that would make it a crime to wear one's pants too low, even as Cajun-country towns around Louisiana have been banning saggy pants from their streets.
The Take: A crime? I think lawmakers have finally lost it.
The Deal: Labor leaders are recommending that Montgomery County ration toilet paper for inmates to help save costs. The request comes as council members try to resolve a $297 million budget deficit.
The Take: You know this is just about the dumbest one yet.
The Deal: Smelly check at Connecticut bank prompts hazmat call
An overpowering bad odor at a Bank of America branch office in New Milford prompted an emergency response from state environmental officials who discovered a bad check. It wasn't a check that was fake. It was smelly.
The Take: It was smelly..... Yeah I suppose a guy walks in and he smells, you gonna call the hazmat?
The Deal: Florida lawmakers consider bill banning ornamental testicles
They're proudly displayed by any self-respecting bull, but dangling big metal ones on the back end of a truck could be banned in Florida.
The Take: I can't comment on this one, it speaks for itself.
The Deal: Choir director brings prayers for lower gas prices to SF
A choir director who hopes prayer can bring down high gas prices is trying out his approach at some of the costliest pumps in the country.
The Take: Keep praying, hard.
The Deal: Newlyweds jailed after brawl at Pittsburgh-area hotel
A newlywed couple spent the night in separate jail cells - she in her wedding gown - after police said they brawled with each other, then members of another wedding party, at a suburban Pittsburgh hotel.
The Take: Way to get off the wedding night!
The Deal: Napping man accused of vandalizing Boston church
Police trying to find a vandal who ransacked a church didn't have to go far in their search. They arrested a man found napping inside before Sunday morning services.
The Take: Give and ye shall recieve.... more like take and you will get it.

The Idiot: 300-pound inmate complains Ark. jail doesn't feed him well
An inmate awaiting trial on a murder charge is suing the county, complaining he has lost more than 100 pounds because of the jailhouse menu.
Responce to the Idiot: ****?! You got 300lbs on you and your go to sit there and complain? My friend you have problems.

4/11/08: Dolphins FB Regan Mauia is arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery.
Gold right here folks, gold. Amazing even the stars get in trouble. I'm surprised Pacman still isn't on here.

T&R Randomness:
Headline: Soulja Boy: LeBron disrespected Me
What they Said: DeAndre Way is not much of a basketball fan, and he surprisingly has never seen LeBron James play. So when Way saw that James mentioned his stage name, "Soulja Boy," in a recent article, Way was caught way off guard. "Someone from Interscope Records called me and sent me the quote," Way said. "I looked and didn't really think much about it. LeBron said something like he was Jay-Z and DeShawn [Stevenson] is Soulja Boy. I took that as [disrespectful]." Following the Cavaliers practice on Friday in preparation of today's Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against the Washington Wizards, James said he was not trying to be disrespectful to Way.
Responce: Well since this guy can't come up with good new material, I guess he has to complain.
Headline: Shockey wants new role or trade
What they Said: The prevailing theory regarding the Giants and Jeremy Shockey is the team learned during its Super Bowl run they no longer need the Pro Bowl tight end. Truth is, Shockey made the first move toward a separation. And he did so before the playoffs even began. Shockey told the Giants in December he wanted a changed role in the offense or a trade to another team, according to a person familiar with discussions between Shockey, the Giants' coaching staff and front office. The person said Shockey threatened to sit out the upcoming season if neither request was granted. Shockey, 27, who suffered a broken fibula in a Dec. 16 loss to the Redskins, feels his career is being cut short by all the blocking he has been asked to do since Tom Coughlin became coach of the Giants in 2004. While blocking is an integral part of a tight end's job description, Shockey believes he was more effective as a receiver under former coach Jim Fassel and offensive coordinator Sean Payton, now the coach of the Saints, who are interested in trading for Shockey.
Responce: Ever since getting injured, Shockey must be looking for new ways to get attention. We have all just witnessed one of his tactics.
Headline: T.J.: Bengals should trade Chad
What they Said: T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Chad Johnson's confidant, said Thursday that if his fellow Bengals wide receiver isn't traded, Johnson's going to be a problem and a potential distraction to the team. Houshmandzadeh said it might be best, in spite of the salary cap hit, if the Bengals granted Johnson's wish to be traded. "If he's not traded, he's going to be a problem," Houshmandzadeh said.
Responce: Well if your co-partner is calling for your head, this can't end well. I see in Chad the next Pacman Jones... only this one has a big mouth.
Headline: Steelers owner endorses Obama
What they Said: More than a few eyebrows were raised this week when Steelers chairman Dan Rooney endorsed Barack Obama's presidential bid." Rooney didn't have to do it. He could have kept his thoughts private and controversy-free. Politics and football can make for strange bedfellows. But considering the source, Rooney's endorsement made perfect sense. "This is not something I do regularly, but as I listen to the candidates in this race, I am struck that we continue to hear about the problems and the same challenges that we have been talking about for decades," Rooney wrote in an open letter.
Responce: Yeah. Guess this gives Steelers haters another reason to hate. Nice to know FN keeps tabs on this stuff, it really livens up the site.
Headline: Shaq calls Spurs 'floppers'
What they Said: Shaquille O'Neal has changed the Suns. Now they complain more than they used to. "The floppers prevailed," Shaq said. That's Shaq. He's from the Phil Jackson school of spin, where an analysis of officiating is required after every playoff loss. "Hopefully, those guys will compete," he said of the Spurs, "rather than just fall down." The Spurs fell down -- usually after bouncing off of Shaq after another successful layup. The Spurs scored a remarkable 72 points in the paint, similar to past playoff series against Phoenix, and that defines how Shaq has changed the Suns. Now there's a 325-pound, sweaty, bald man watching as the Spurs score.
Responce: First off Shaq, we don't understand your 'hip, young lingo.' Second since you can't rip on the Heat anymore, you must take it out on other teams? Shame on You.
