Oh Noes! Not The Chocolate!
Another Chinese product to stay away from: The Chocolate.
Consumers in South Korea have been finding small white worms in the chocolate coming from China. The news report says that the worms are moth larvae.Â
You know, I don't care what kind of larvae they are – you had me gagging at WORMS.
Hopefully we don't get our chocolate from China, here in the US. I think I'll stick with Hershey's when I need my chocolate fix, because I know where it was made – and there haven't been any reports of worms in Hershey's chocolate yet.
Are The Hash House Harriers Criminals?
I had not heard of the Hash House Harriers until recently, but after I read about them I thought they sounded like the coolest group. They call themselves " a drinking club with a running problem", and they make running into a game that sounds like a lot of fun.
One of my favorite bloggers, Steve at Cymru66.com, is a runner, so when I first heard of this running group I wondered if maybe he had ever run with them. He didn't say that he had, but he does participate in some other really neat obstacle course running events near Virginia Beach.
Anyway, the Hash House Harriers are a group with chapters all over the world. They're fun, crazy and definitely hardcore. But now.. they're felons? That doesn't seem right.
Recently, at a HHH event, the "Hares" marked the trail by sprinkling flour. During the runs, the Hare goes first and is supposed to mark the trail for the other runners to follow and they commonly throw in some wrong turns, dead ends and forks in the trail just to keep things interesting.
So, some Harriers, an eye doctor from New Haven and his sister who was visiting from Germany, were the designated Hares. They marked the trail through an IKEA parking lot using flour.
It's a sad sign of the times. Someone saw the flour and it set off a bio-terrorism scare and the IKEA store was evacuated.
Daniel Salchow, the eye doctor and one of the Hares, after completing the run, heard there was a problem at IKEA. He biked back to the store and saw all the police there. When he realized that they were there about the flour in the parking lot, he told them it was just flour and that he and his sister had sprinkled it there… and actually everywhere from New York to California.. to mark the trails. It's harmless flour, it washes away with the rain! No harm to anyone.
Salchow and his sister were then arrested and charged with first-degree breach of peace, which is a felony. Insane.
Shes Not Coming Back…
This reminds me of the humor at Blue Beaver Beer ;D Those guys crack me up.
Just Glad It Was Not My Kid…
In England, firemen were called to rescue a three year old boy who had his head caught in the seat of his little potty. How humiliating! I bet he has a new nickname now. ;D
The little guy is fine, and probably too young to even be embarrassed by it. The fireman had to cut the seat of the training potty off of his head with a hack saw. I bet that was scary for the child and his parents!
The boy is said to be fine. They'll have to get him a new potty seat. Hope this doesn't delay his toilet training!
No idea why this made the news, but there you have it. Just glad it didn't happen to Walter.
Miss South Carolina, of course
I am humiliated to be from this state! :no:
Put a mic and camera in front of someone from South Carolina and you always seem to get something that goes a little something like this:

Did that make your head hurt? Yeah, mine too.
Please don't miss the irony that she was given an obvious opening to talk about EDUCATION. :crazy:
Now Miss "West" Carolina chimes in about maps.
You knew the spoofs were comin' ya'll:

Did Owen Wilson Attempt Suicide?
It is being reported today that Owen Wilson was taken to the hospital this morning with cuts on his left wrist and a bottle of pills in his belly. They are saying that he attempted suicide and was found in time by a family member. The sources of this information are questionable, however it has been confirmed that he was taken to the hospital in the early hours today.
I hope this is not true, but you never know, sometimes the tabloids are right. Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson reportedly broke up sometime around Memorial Day.
I have loved almost every movie I have ever seen Owen Wilson in. I especially loved Zoolander, The Wedding Crashers and You, Me and Dupree. And I can not erase his voice from my head now that we've seen the movie "Cars" about a million times. He did the voice of Lightning McQueen in that movie, which is Walter's all time favorite.
Whatever is wrong.. best wishes and get well soon Owen!
DWS – Driving While Stupid
I know, I know.. I’m always bitchin’ about something. So much in fact, that the bitchin’ needs its own category.
Is it just me, or are there an increasing number of people out there DWS (Driving While Stupid)?
Tonight I was on my way somewhere and stopped at a traffic light without any incident. Across the intersection, I saw a car approaching the already very red light without slowing down. I thought they were just going to blaze right through it, which might have been marginally less stupid than what they actually did, but anyway.. They waited until they were a few feet from the line and then applied their brakes as hard as they could. It had been raining (thank God, because we needed it), so the road was wet. The car screeched sideways to a stop directly under the light, in the middle of the intersection. So now the car was sideways, out in traffic. An accident waiting to happen. Luckily the light turned green in time and they got out of the way before any injury or property damage, other than their own tires, occurred.
I don’t get why people act so stupid behind the wheel. There are always the normal idiots on the road that provoke road rage by just being ignorant… but doing something as retarded as to use your car as a novelty to potentially harm other people is just ridiculous.
Maybe I’m wrong and they didn’t do it on purpose. Perhaps they were just innocently </snark> texting a friend and didn’t notice the traffic light. Maybe they were coming from Burger King and the stupidity of Laminta, the Burger King girl just rubbed off on them. I’m not sure… but they were coming from that direction.
There should be a mandatory IQ test before a driver’s license is issued. Anyone falling into the “dangerously stupid” category should not be allowed driving privileges. I think I will write my state reps about this.
Airline Passenger Restrained With Duct Tape
Wow, this must be the month for weirdos and duct tape. Remember the Duct Tape Bandit?
Well, this guy didn't have the duct tape with him – he was restrained with it after he tried to open the door of the airplane he was travelling on while it was in the air.
One passenger said the man had been acting weird during the flight, then got up and tried to open the door of the plane. He and other passengers helped a flight attended tie the man down with duct tape. They also used an extra lap belt to restrain him.
After he was duct taped, the man screamed and yelled in between trying to bite the duct tape… all the way to New York, where the plane safely landed and he was taken into police custody.
It Snowed Last Night In Colorado
In what can only be described as a move to make me jealous as I sit here in sweltering South Carolina, Colorado reports that they had snow in the mountains last night.
National weather reports say it's not unusual for the Colorado mountains to get a dusting of snow in August. It was grainy snow.. so no snowmen are expected.
