The aftermath of Flav’s 2010 July 4th party.

Flavor Flav is a lot of things, particularly a rapper and failed business owner, but one thing he’s not is a good neighbor.  At least not according to the other folks in the Finisterre Homeowners Association, which represents the Las Vegas, Nevada neighborhood in which Flav resides.  There, he’s more likely to be known as the guy who might be burning down the neighborhood after a terrifying display of explosives.  Police confiscated 3 or 4 pallets of fireworks from Flavor Flav’s house, disrupting a fireworks show worth thousands of dollars.

There were at least 100 pounds of fireworks, which required a special disposal unit to show up and take care of all the explosives.  Last year, Flav had $8000 worth of fireworks that he took with him when police disrupted his first attempt at a neighborhood fireworks show.  In previous years, according to anonymous neighbors, he’d set off fireworks in bunches and use a police scanner to avoid authorities.

“I don’t want to go to jail for fireworks,” said William Drayton Jr., AKA Flavor Flav.  “We all had a ball until the police came.  It isn’t like I do this every day.”

For his troubles this year, Flav only received two fireworks citations.

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.
