HOTD: Couple Attacked by Bear Inside Home

Yikes. I didn’t realize I was so close to bear inside the house country.

Really, if this happens, it’s the bear’s house now. I’m not attempting to fight the bear. I don’t have any bear fighting equipment. I’d just ask if the bear needed anything and head out into the wilderness. I like my chances better out there.

That reminds me, I need to buy up a bunch of bear spray and head to this town. I think it will be a popular item for the next few days.

HOTD: Fugitive held after throwing sandwich at Wawa clerk

There is surprisingly a lot to the story. Guy tries to steal a sandwich from Wawa. Is confronted, so he does the most logical thing, he throws the sandwich at the employee. The employee called the police and they found the guy. They run his ID and figure out he’s wanted for a parole violation in another state.

Why would you throw a Wawa hoagie?

HOTD: Teen steals SEPTA bus

Uncategorized No Comment

Story

A 16 year old stole a bus and ran in to 15 cars. It’s actually a sad story after reading about the troubled kid. The first images from reading the headline were of a kid, barely big enough to handle the steering wheel rolling down the street bumping into cars on both sides of the road. My first question was, ‘Did he keep making all the stops?’

This was actually a tweet from BreakingNews. They linked to this story.

Not only a drug bust, but copyright infringement too? I didn’t consider the Mountie factor for this years Olympics.

Story

I can’t remember the last time I watched 20/20, but the wife of the South Carolina Governor is being interviewed by Barbara Walters on Friday’s show. If this is just a taste, imagine the goodness inside.

“It bothered me to some extent, but … we were very young, we were in love,” she said. “I questioned it, but I got past it … along with other doubts that I had.”

Ahh marriage. So sacred. Such an institution.

I’m no lawyer, but I didn’t know you could sue for greed. I feel like I would have heard of it when everyone in the country sued all the banks.

DJ plays ‘Jump’ as woman mulls suicide

This was in London. Someone was holding up traffic with their suicide threat. So a driver called in and requested the song. It doesn’t give a good idea of how high this bride is or how long she was up there. If she was there for a while and the station played all their ‘Jump’ songs, then we have a story.

She did jump, but survived with only minor injuries.

How do you not click through to that? I figured it would be some D3 college mascot. But no, it was Pat the Patriot. Well, a Pat the Patriot. They have multiple guys play the mascot. I have a feeling this is just the first of many stories that come out about the seamy underbelly of the mascot world.

Put something about swords in the headline and I’m on board. I’m not sure what exactly happened. All the Mr. Rodgers references in the article had me moving on quickly.
