Some disguises are just perfect.  They cover your entire face, disguise your general shape, and make you really tough to identify.  Then, there are all the other disguises that just don’t seem to work.  While I thought the Sharpie face masks were bad, they’ve got nothing on the underwear bandit.  Sharon Lain, a 51-year-old woman from Midwest City, Oklahoma, recently made off with the contents of a McDonald’s cash drawer with a pair of panties on her face.

Technically, it’s not panties, it’s a support undergarment/girdle type of thing called Spanx.  Lain, who was recently fired from her job as a night manager at McDonald’s, said she needed the money to support her gambling problem.  When she was arrested, she was also in possession of crystal meth, which no doubt is another problem she’s got to work hard stealing to support.

“She admitted to her role in the burglary,” said Midwest City police chief Brandon Clabes. “And we found the clothes she wore.  This was a really bizarre disguise.  I wasn’t sure what spanx was.  I’ve never seen a woman with one on; now I’ve seen one on someone’s face.”

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
