Earl Jones is not a man to be trifled with, because he’ll kill you.

In rural Boone County, 92-year-old Earl Jones maintains a massive farm in an isolated part of the state of Kentucky.  He’s lived on this farm since 1955, and has lived by himself since 2006 when his wife Virginia Pearl passed away.  Indeed, being so far out in the country has left him a target for thieves.  He had 90 head of cattle stolen in April, and in August he had thousands of dollars and a television stolen.  When the nonagenarian heard intruders rummaging around in his basement, he was prepared for the worst.  The senior citizen sat in his living room, waiting for 20 minutes with his rifle in his hand.  When the first crook, 24-year-old Lloyd “Adam” Maxwell kicked in the door, he found himself catching a bullet in the chest.  A 92-year-old farmer killed a burglar in self-defense, proving that some skills never fade.

Maxwell’s accomplices, Ryan Dalton, 22, and Donnie Inabnit, 20, grabbed their wounded friend and fled in terror from the elderly farmer and part-time super hero.  Jones’ shooting appears to be justified under Kentucky’s version of the Castle Doctrine.

“These people aren’t worth any more to me than a groundhog.  They have our country in havoc.  We got so many damned crooked people walking around today.  “It was simple. That man was going to take my life.  He was hunting me.  I was protecting myself,” says the feisty WWII veteran, who grew up a hunter and served in the United States Air Force.  Adds Jones, “I was hoping another one would come up. I aimed right for his heart… I didn’t go to war for nothing.  I have the right to carry a gun.”

Indeed, the double-tough senior, who works on his 500-acre farm, initially refused to put his hands up for the police, reportedly telling officers, “I’m not putting my damn hands up.”  He eventually complied, and police took his rifle as part of their investigation.  Hopefully, he’ll get his weapon back soon, because I’d hate to think of what he’d do to those kids with his bare hands if they ever came back to rob him a fourth time.

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.
