Cops say skater faces charges after confrontation over the right-of-way with boy, 4, on tricycle
(AP) 03:26:38 PM (ET), Tuesday, September 29, 2009 (STAMFORD, Conn.)
A Connecticut in-line skater faces assault and other charges after a confrontation over whether a 4-year-old on a tricycle had the right to be on a bike path. Stamford police charged 43-year-old Chris Karamon with third-degree assault, risk of injury to a minor and other crimes.

Police said Karamon shouted and cursed at the boy's parents on the path in Cove Island Park. Police said he later skated into the boy's father, who was shielding his children, and threw a helmet and water bottle at him.

Police Lt. Sean Cooney said the path is for use by everyone, not just skaters.

Karamon declined to comment Tuesday morning.

MARGE SIMPSON..........? PLAYBOY.......? WTF......??

Ay Carumba! Bart's mom to be on cover of Playboy
(AP) 03:37:54 PM (ET), Friday, October 9, 2009 (CHICAGO)
Marge is about to do something Homer might not approve of.

Playboy magazine is turning over its cover to the matriarch of Springfield's first family: Marge Simpson.

It's a first for the magazine, which has had everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Cindy Crawford to the Girls of Hooters and even the likes of Jerry Seinfeld on the cover. But it's never had a cartoon character before.

Marge and her pile of bright blue hair are set to grace the cover of the November issue of Playboy. It will hit the newsstands October 16.

Marge isn't going to bare all, though, as the magazine says there will only be "implied nudity" in the 3-page pictorial.

New CEO Scott Flanders says the idea is to attract readers in their 20s to a magazine where the average reader's age is 35.

A southwest Florida woman was arrested after deputies said she assaulted her 71-year-old common-law husband after he complained about her cooking. A Lee County Sheriff's Office arrest report shows 66-year-old Meredith Hart Mulcahy was charged with battery on an elderly person Tuesday night.

Deputies said the man got into an argument with her about undercooked potatoes and burnt bread. He went to the bedroom and began eating, and authorities said the woman then threw a phone at him.

Deputies said Mulcahy became belligerent in the back seat of the patrol car and told them that she "burned the bread she was cooking because she was so intoxicated." She was in the Lee County Jail on Wednesday pending a $1,500 bond.

Here's some offbeat news.....

A 51-year-old man told a police officer he was naked in a northern Indiana cemetery because he had taken off his wet clothes after checking on his in-laws' grave and then wanted a closer look at some flowers. The officer was off duty and jogging through Rice Cemetery in Elkhart Sunday afternoon when he saw the naked man get into a truck and drive away. The officer later tracked down the Mishawaka man from his license plate number.

The man said he had been golfing all day and that he undressed in his truck because his underwear was wet. He said he left his truck naked to look at the flowers because he did not have his glasses.

He was arrested on a preliminary misdemeanor charge of public indecency.

     Hmmm... if your underpants were wet, why not go HOME and change them?  OR... why take your shirt off because your underpants are wet?  OR... why NOT put your PANTS on sans wet underpants, keep everything else ON, THEN get out and look at the flowers..... OR, what were you doing DRIVING A TRUCK without glasses you need just to see grave marker flowers clearly?


     Great stuff.

Hopefully, someone at Comcast has an affinity for the classic horror movies...

[Jscareshock]

YEah, Comcast ants NBC.  They get a dozen other channels (including USA and SyFy) as well as the Universal theme parks.
