When Kim Mordue’s son Lloyd died from an overdose of GHB, she knew exactly how she wanted to memorialize her son.  Her husband, David, is a tattoo artist.  Her son was cremated.  So she had her dead son’s ashes made into tattoo ink and got him turned into a series of elaborate tattoos on her […]

So many people get married with big, elaborate ceremonies.  There’s all that pomp and circumstance and expense, and for what?  Given that over half of all marriages end in divorce, you’re just flushing money down the drain for when you split up.  Personally, I’d rather elope and spend that money on a down-payment for a […]

Copyright lawyers must be the dumbest people on earth.  I mean, how else could you explain this?  The website ThinkGeek, which sells a host of great products for those with a goofy sense of humor, also sells a canned SPAM-like product called unicorn meat.  It’s billed as an excellent source of sparkles.  They say, in […]

In the movie Death Proof, the most notable scene is when Zoe Bell, playing a fictional version of herself, hangs from the hood of a 1970 Dodge Challenger (like in Vanishing Point) from two belts while playing a game called Ship’s Mast.  In the movies, it makes for an awesome scene.  When it’s real life, […]

I’ve been looking for a house for awhile, and one of my requirements is to have two bathrooms.  It’s not that I need two bathrooms right now, since it’s just me, but it’s a lot more convenient to have parties and guests if you have more than one head available for emergency use.  It’s just […]

Wing walking, at one point, was one of America’s most popular events.  It was the 1920 version of a David Blaine stunt, in which people would walk or move on top of a moving biplane.  As it turns out, not only are people still doing this, they’re still breaking records in the process.  Tulsa, Oklahoma’s […]

California is strapped for cash.  The state is billions of dollars in debt, with a reeling economy and no real way of digging itself out of the hole it has created short of a miracle or continued borrowing from the federal government.  That’s why a California assembly member named Curren Price, a Democrat from Inglewood, […]

The grisly call came into the Monroe County Sherrif’s Department late on Saturday night.  A body was discovered in a boat, abandoned near Sugarloaf Key, Florida, within the Florida Keys.  A young couple out for the night called it in, believing that they’d spotted a body in an abandoned boat.  As it turns out, they […]

It’s one of the most obnoxious things in sports, and it’s coming to America.  If you’re watching the World Cup, or have even watched highlights of the World Cup, then you know the vuvuzela.  That’s that buzzing horn that South Africans love to play at every major or important event.  You know, it’s the sound […]

I don’t know what to make of Justin Bieber.  From his name to his haircut, the kid just confuses me.  That said, nobody was more confused by the fame of Justin Bieber than… Justin Bieber.  One of them is a teenage pop star beloved by millions of teen and tween girls, while the other is […]

By all accounts, Ronnie Lee Gardner was a violent criminal.  In 1980, he was given a 30-year jail sentence for robbery; in 1984 he escaped custody, killing barman Melvyn Otterstrom while on the run.  In 1985, while on trail for Otterstrom’s murder, he again attempted to escape the courthouse, shooting and killing Michael Burdell with […]

Actor Jeremy London has had a long history with drug use.  In April, he did an interview with People Magazine where he talked about how he had a pill problem, and now he’s coming forward to confess to a relapse not of his own volition.  The 37-year-old actor reported to police in Palm Springs that, […]

It wasn’t 2009 all over again.  This was Lakers versus Celtics, Boston versus LA.  This was the oldest and best rivalry in the National Basketball Association, the only rivalry in the sport that really matters.  The two most decorated franchises were squaring off.  Boston’s 2008 title versus LA’s 2009 title, winner take all.  And last […]

Like every comedian, elementary schooler Sydney Claxton has wondered something.  Why do people stick a curved bratwurst onto some inadequate hot dog bun?  The hot dog bun is too small and straight, so you’ve always got some meat overhanging when you try to stick a brat on a bun not made for brats.  Well, for […]

The Asian culture, for some reason, just loves white people.  The bigger and goofier the better.  Like the French and Jerry Lewis, the best way for an Asian company to sell something is to Engrish it up a little, but for important events like the opening of a new factory, some Chinese businesses are left […]
