Boys will be Boys -- W. Virginia edition

This is a story that at one time might have elicited the comment, "Only in Texas..."

Except that it didn't happen at A&M as one might have expected... it happened at Marshall University, Chief Justice John Marshall's namesake college in Huntington, West Virginia.

These are perhaps our next generation of physicians, cancer researchers and educators. Marshall is alma mater to Soupy Sales and Billy Crystal, so maybe these fellows are striving for a career in show business instead. They seem to have the act down.

"Louis Helmburg III sued The Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity Inc., of Huntington, West Virginia, and Travis Hughes, a fraternity member, in Cabell County Court.

Helmburg claims - in a statement it would be difficult to deny - that 'firing bottle rockets out of one's own anus constitutes an 'ultra-hazardous' activity,' which exposes both defendants to strict liability."

You just know that when the plaintiff and defense attornies get together for a drink over at "the Whale" after business hours, that they laugh hilariously over cases just such as this one.

We thought he was the last, best hope for mankind

Oh wait, wrong story line...

Oh well, even if the man has turned out to somewhat of a nutjob, at the the very least we can say he has done some of the best, most popular and influential films of modern times.

Persian Pat

First there was Arizona pastor Steven L. Anderson promoting hatred and advocating violence against President Obama.

In January, following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, I penned a piece about Pat Robertson’s idiotic assertion that god was punishing the Haitians for a century-old pact with the devil.

Then when Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha died, California religionista Wiley Drake took credit, saying that he had prayed for Murtha's death, and that god had answered those prayers.

Now in his Friday morning prayers, senior Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi blamed all of the recent Earth shaking on Muslim sluts.

Who would have ever thought that sex fuels earthquakes?

Religionistic loons being what they are, we all knew that it was only a matter of time before some pompous pinhead stepped up to the plate to assign all of this seismic activity to the vengeance of god... this loon did, and by god, this gives me an idea.

Iran is positioned in one of the more seismically activity regions on the planet, we seem to be entering a period of increasing activity, so they are expecting more of the same.

It therefore follows that if loose women cause quakes, even I should be able to get a date in Tehran. As soon as the dust settles I think I’ll book a flight…

Oh wait! Nordic chicks are hot. I wonder what precipitated the Icelandic volcanic event!

Dog eats police car

This is something new. A Chattanooga police car became the play toy for a seriously frisky dog. Read the story HERE, then watch the dashcam video HERE.

The cops showed a great deal of restraint.
