Last year, McClain County Operation Christmas gave out 786 presents to needy, low-income families.  It’s not much, but for a local effort it’s a wonderful accomplishment.  This year, Operation Christmas was slated to give out more than 800 presents.  I say was because the presents may not all be usable now.  A skunk got into Operation Christmas’s storage facility and sprayed down 800 of the charity’s presents with skunk funk.  Now, the charity is scrambling to save what they can, toss what they can’t, and get replacement presents under trees before the holiday is here.

“I’ve already had a lot of phone calls.  People here locally that have called and said ‘What can we do to help?'”said Peggy Christian, spokesperson for McClain County Operation Christmas.  Still, volunteers aren’t giving up on the 800 soiled presents.  “The ones laying out, they have been sprayed with Febreeze many, many times.”

If the presents have all soaked in the skunk smell, imagine the prize-winning stink that would be found inside that storage facility.  No ventilation, the skunk spray left in there to linger and grow in funkiness… that’s got to be some epic stank.  There’s not enough perfume in Detroit to cover that pew.

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.
