A parking meter in need of feeding.

It’s one of the worst feelings you can have.  You go into a store, do your business, and come out of the store to find a ticket on your windshield.  It’s enough to drive some people to commit vandalism, and no one is safe from meter maids, not even Batman.  Well, a group of six people in Keene, New Hampshire, has declared war against parking fines, and now the city of Keene has declared war on them.  The city of Keene is suing a group of people who have been feeding parking meters.

The notes read,  “Your meter expired; however, we saved you from the king’s tariffs,” and encourage recipients to “pay it forward” to someone else.

Of course, it’s not as simple as people going around and feeding the meters.  Keene accuses Robin Hood and his Merry Men (as the group is known) of doing more than good deeds, saying they have “intentionally taunted, interfered with, harassed and intimidated” the city’s three parking enforcement officers.  For their part, Robin Hood and company say the city is suing them simply because the city is losing money thanks to their good deeds.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
