Hey, give that girl her shirt back!

Following the epic 6 hour Australian Tennis Open battle between Novak Djokovic and Rafa Rafael Nadal in the early hours of this morning , the victor, Djokovic, walked over to the crowd and threw his shirt to a young girl. Watch as another fan snatches it from her grasp, faster than a rat up a drainpipe . Nasty!

RIP Colin Tarrant

The actor who played inspector Andrew Monroe on the long running British series The Bill has died from an apparent suicide. Colin leaves behind a 6 month old son. Sad.

Tag, You’re It!

OMG, a 6 year old snowflake has been accused by his California elementary school of sexual assault while playing tag with his best friend . Evidently, during their little romp in the playground Oswin brushed his friends leg/groin. Next thing he knows , he’s in the principal’s office, where he is plonked for two hours until he confesses. The principal then suspended Oswin and placed a sexual battery charge on his permanent school record. Can they do that, without police involvement? It wasn’t until the parents lawyered up did the Hercules school remove the claim. Needless to say Oswin is playing tag at another school.

Psst The snowflakes should be grateful they weren’t playing Twister!!!

Flight of the Century

shoo!!!

In the red corner we have boxing legend Mike Tyson and in the blue corner we have Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth , in what surely will be dubbed the mismatch fight of the century. Hold your horses people, this isn’t a boxing match, it’s a pigeon race. The two have entered the Sun City Million Dollar Pigeon Race in South Africa where 3,479 pigeons are vying for the chance to be crowned best friggin homing pigeon of the year. The first bird to make it from Hopetown to Sun City (342miles) wins. The Queen has entered just one pigeon, Royal Desire, as the other five were picked off by bigger birds and eaten during training sessions. Tyson on the other hand has several birds entered. No one dares eat his!

Psst Surely Lizzie could have popped down to Trafalgar Square and caught herself a few more?

$13,624, Seriously?

$13,624 + reimbursement of cruise cost + expenses, is the amount each passenger on the ill fated Costa Concordia has been offered in compensation. Hold on just one minute there Missy….. would you take the deal?

Clearwater Bowling Alley Not Amused

A Florida Bowling Alley in Clearwater has been receiving some unwanted attention over a viral email that suggests they have placed President Obama’s face at the end of their bowling lanes, making it look like the pins are his teeth. The email says that the Countryside Lanes bowling alley has been making a killing over the gimmick, with people flocking to the place for a chance to knock Obama’s teeth out. As you can imagine the staff are sick and tired of answering the phone to deny the whole thing.

Everybody Duck!!!!

Run!!! Run, for your lives!!!

OK loons, no need to panic but the Earth nearly got hit by a bus sized asteroid last night. What’s worse, the friggin scientists, who are supposedly watching our backs, didn’t see it coming!!!! Asteroid 2012 BX34 missed us by 60,000km, which in science speak is “pretty friggin close”, and now is listed in the top 20 near misses list.

Tsk, Tsk, Julia Gillard

Seems that whole “Aborigines vs Julia Gillard” fiasco was caused by none other than one of Gillard’s own staffers. Awkward. ~~Spin Doctor~~ Media adviser Tony Hodges resigned yesterday after it was revealed he had actually tipped off someone connected with the Indigenous activists about the leader of the opposition’s comments concerning the tent embassy. It is alleged Mr Hodges leaked “grievously misinterpreted” comments and then revealed the location of Tony Abbott, in what appears to be a bungled attempt at embarrassing the leader of the opposition. It is not clear what Mr Hodges told them, but gathering by their angry reaction, it wasn’t pretty. The opposition are now demanding a full inquiry over the massive security breach and what the hell was said to entice such anger.

Psst Oh and by the way, Julia got her shoe back but odds are she won’t be putting that back on her foot.

Want sauce with that?

Ghost Boat Ends Up In Spain

frigginloon — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:56:18 +0000

Hello, this is Spain, I hear you lost a pleasure boat? In 2008, Scott Douglas and his brother in law were enjoying a fishing trip off the the coast of Nantucket when a massive storm blew in. The pair eventually had to abandon the 26ft Queen Bee and swim for their lives to shore. Enter 2012. Spanish officials have found the now barnacle and rust covered craft 20 miles off the coast of Spain. Wow, that was some trans Atlantic drift. Unfortunately ,as Mr Douglas has already received an insurance payout for his AWOL craft, technically the boat belongs to Spain. Enjoy!

Psst The journey saw Queen Bee pass New England, Canada, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, across the northern Atlantic, Greenland, Ireland before making a right down the European coast to Spain. Hmm, I bet the guys wished they stayed on the boat during the storm now!!!

Attention, Special Delivery for the UN

Oh shit!!!

Whoopsie, some Mexican drug cartel’s head is going to roll . Yep, a fool stuffed 16kg of cocaine, worth $2 million, into two fake United Nations bags without an address (or return address) and sent it to Ohio. DHL’s delivery center then promptly sent the bags to the UN headquarters in New York. A spokesman for DHL said “It is my understanding that because there was no addressee, the DHL just thought well that’s the UN symbol so we should ship it on to UN headquarters and let them figure out who it was supposed to go to,”. Hmm, the UN must of got a nice surprise. Now they can send a strongly worded letter to Mexico drug lords.
