Must've been that reefer madness kicking in.

Note to all would-be pot users out there:  if you lose your bag, don’t go get it from the police station if you’re carrying around marijuana.  Learn from Patricia Wright’s mistake.  When Patricia Wright left her bag full of weed on the ferry in Picton, New Zealand, she did the only reasonable thing, she went to the police station to pick it back up.  The 61-year-old was arrested upon arrival.

Apparently, recovering bags full of drugs from the cops is a bad idea.  Ms. Wright’s lost bag included 20 grams (0.7 ounces) of marijuana divided into tinfoil-wrapped individual servings, a pot pipe, and her mobile phone.  That’s how she got in touch with the cops, who found the bag on the South Island ferry and decided it would be best to take it in.

Wright was given six months of parole and was ordered to undergo counseling by Blenheim District Court Judge Peter Hobbs.  Apparently, Ms. Wright has a long history of drug arrests, which probably explains why she thought it was a good idea to go to the cops to get back her bag full of drugs.  No word on whether or not it was an Elmo backpack.

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.
