The job of your average haunted house worker is to scare the crap out of everyone that comes across their path.  The most fun, of course, is getting to be the guy with the chainsaw.  Mike Morrison plays Leatherface at the House of Screams in Baltimore, and as their guy with the chainsaw, he’s often the last guy able to get a serious scare out of the patrons.  The tables got turned on him when a Baltimore police officer, Eric Janik, pulled a gun on him in return.

Fortunately for Morrison, the incident ended without injury, as security for the haunted house had been following the apparently-drunk Sgt. Janik (and the group he was with, including his young daughter) through the building.  He’s been suspended with pay until Tuesday, where a hearing should determine just how long he stays suspended with or without pay.  The fact that he’s not in handcuffs right now is pretty amazing, because he threatened an innocent man with a gun.  Those chainsaws never have chains in them!

Hopefully, he gets some jail time, because if I’m drunk and waving a gun around a haunted house, I’m going to jail for a long time.  He didn’t even identify himself as a cop until after the incident was over, so this is a guy in dire need of a firing.  Obviously he’s got a problem with alcohol and doesn’t need to be carrying around a weapon, especially around a 9-year-old girl.

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.
