My random act of kindness.

Few days ago, right after I got off work, I checked the messages on my cell phone and mom had called telling me to stop by the grocery store on the way home to pick up a few items. Feeling dirty from blacksmithing most of the day, I was a little reluctant but I proceeded nonetheless.

When I finally managed to wind my way through rush-hour traffic to get to the grocery store parking lot, I began to lose my patience when seeking a perfect parking spot. One of them opened up and I turned on my signal to indicate that that spot was soon to be mine.

Then I saw a car driven by a senior coming from the opposite direction. He saw that I had my blinker on and began to drive past me. But that was when I rolled down my window and motioned for him to stop. I turned off my turn signal and waved him into the parking stall, perplexed, his face managed to smile and show me his shiny dentures. I proceeded to park further away from the store than I had anticipated.

With all the shopping done and on my way out of the store and back to my car, I managed to bump into the old man just as he was leaving as well.

Recognizing me he thanked me for giving him the parking spot. I replied "no sir, thank you" and pointed at his car.

It had a veteran license plate.

Starting to see his eyes get watery I began to walk away.

I didn't look back. Grown men don't want you to see them cry.

Heartbreaking news kids,
Nick and Jessica broke up.

(click here)

Frankly I'm just surprised he put up with her for this long.

I remember back in high school when I called "dibs" on her while every other guy called dibs on spears or aguilera.

Then I witnessed her stupidity and regretted my call.

Oh well.

Dumbasses once more

Again the time has arrived to discuss the idiots among us in the civilized world we live in. LikeI have before, I once again bring you a few stories of complete morons; the "Dumbasses" if you will:

LONDON - It was when a topless woman appeared on screen speaking Italian that devout Christians Alan and Anne Leigh-Browne realised the Doris Day film they had bought might have been wrongly packaged.

The elderly British couple urged the supermarket where they bought the DVD purporting to be "The Pajama Game", the 1957 romantic comedy starring the wholesome US actress, to investigate what went wrong.

"Our biggest concern with the whole episode was that small children could easily have bought the film and been exposed to its content," Alan Leigh-Brown, 67, said on Thursday.

The retired doctor, a regular with his wife at their local Baptist church, had bought the bargain-bin film, sealed in plastic wrapping from a Safeway supermarket in Taunton, southwest England.
Settling down to watch it, the Leigh-Brownes found themselves instead faced with a raunchy sex title called "Tettore che Passione", or Breasts of Passion.

"We are big fans of Doris Day and were looking forward to the film, but we knew something was amiss when a warning flashed up on the screen advising under 18s not to carry on watching," Mr Leigh-Browne said.

"Then some topless young women appeared and started talking in Italian, we were horrified, it's not what you expect from a Doris Day film.

"It was a pretty raunchy, explicit film, it certainly pulled no punches. My wife and I were very shocked but we watched it until the end because we couldn't believe what we were seeing.

"The film became progressively more graphic, there was no plot to it, it was just sex." A spokesman for the supermarket urged the couple to return the DVD so the matter could be investigated.

were they truly "horrified" or were they aroused? they did watch it till the end. way to tell the world about your porn-addiction, doctor!

ATHENS - A bus driver shuttling pupils to school in northern Greece shocked their parents when he put on a porn tape, officials said on Thursday.

The incident on Tuesday in the town of Kilkis prompted dozens of complaints by parents who have asked the bus company to fire him.

"The driver said 'kids we've got porn, do you want to watch it'," one of the pupils told reporters.

"Everyone started shouting yes, yes and he just put in a tape and we watched it on the small TV screens on the bus."

The children were aged 12 to 15.

The bus company will meet on Friday to decide what action to take against the driver, local government officials said.

perhaps they watched it till the end too, just to make sure there was no mistake. did he truly think he would keep his job with a stunt like that?

NEW YORK - A National Guard F-16 fighter plane mistakenly fired off 25 rounds of ammunition at the Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School in South New Jersey on Wednesday night.

The pilot was meant to fire the rounds some 3 1/2 miles away at a military target range, Lt. Col. Roberta Niedt of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs told reporters in the Jersey shore township's police headquarters.

No one was injured as school was out and a lone custodian was inside the building when the bullets hit.

Damage was minimal as the non-exploding, 20 millimeter bullets left only puncture marks in the school's roof and the asphalt outside the building.

The fighter jet was part of the 113th Wing, District of Columbia Air National Guard assigned to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.

An investigation is being conducted into how the pilot mistook the school, located on Frog Pond Road, for a target range.

3 and 1/2 miles away!!!????! did he just disregard the basketball court or not see it?

NEILLSVILLE, Wis. - A 63-year-old man is charged with sexual gratification with an animal for allegedly having sex with calves.

Harold G. Hart, of Neillsville, allegedly told police that he routinely stopped at a Greenwood farm, usually after bar closing or on trips to strip clubs near Marshfield or Neillsville.

A criminal complaint filed in Clark County Circuit Court said the farm's owners installed a motion detector on Jan. 22 after regularly seeing footprints and vehicle tracks on their land. Around 4 a.m. the next morning, a sensor sounded and Hart was caught leaving the barn, but Hart allegedly said he just used a bathroom in the barn and had never been there before.

Hart told police he had sex with heifers before he went into the service in 1963 and resumed about a year ago at the farm. He admitted to using a rope to tie calves around the neck and estimated he had been to the farm "at least 50 times," according to the complaint.

He told police he never had sex with animals while maintaining a relationship with his a girlfriend or his wife, the complaint said.

Hart also is charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of obstructing an officer. Each charge carries up to nine months in jail.

Hart is scheduled to appear in court March 10.

last time it was an African man with a chicken. but he killed himself from the shame. perhaps this is a cry for help. MOVIN ON UP though. just a way for americans to show that they rule! "chicken? ppfffffffffffffftt! try a calf!"

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A masked robber who beat his victim was remorseful enough to take the man to the hospital for treatment, but his change of heart didn't last long. Within hours the thief was telephoning threats to the victim, who was an acquaintance, authorities said.

The attack happened Monday, according to a report to the Shelby County sheriff by victim Hollis Studdard.

Studdard was in his garage when he was struck from behind several times with a tree branch.

He then grabbed the limb from his assailant, hit him back and recognized his attacker.

"I know it's you, Michael," he told the robber, who pulled off his ski mask and apologized, according to police reports.

"I didn't mean for this to happen," the attacker said. "You were supposed to get knocked out and I was going to take your wallet and truck."

Studdard declined to give up his pickup keys.

"You're bleeding," the robber said. "I'm going to drive you to the hospital."

He took Studdard to Baptist Memorial Hospital, gave Studdard the truck keys and walked away.
The sheriff departments in Shelby and Fayette counties are now looking for the robber, who later phoned threats to the victim's home.

lordy lordy lordy

TAIPEI - A man leaped into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.

"Jesus will save you!" the 46-year-old man shouted at two African lions lounging under a tree a few meters away.

"Come bite me!" he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.

One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.

Newspapers said that the lions had been fed earlier in the day, otherwise the man might have been more seriously hurt ... or worse.

Jehovah's witnesses have got nothing on him!

And finally, from the homeland, the latest idiot:

LUCKNOW, India- An Indian teenager from one of the country's most backward states appears to have fooled governments, the media and even the president into believing he had topped the world in a NASA science exam.

In a country hungry for international recognition, 17-year-old Saurabh Singh was feted as a national hero after announcing he had won NASA's International Scientist Discovery examination, which he said he took at Oxford University.

The Uttar Pradesh state government rewarded him with a 500,000 rupee ($11,500) prize and more than 100 members of the state's upper house each donated a day's salary to him.

But as he was at the president's official residence awaiting an audience during the week, his story unraveled.

An Indian news portal, rediff.com, contacted NASA, which denied any knowledge of the exam.

"Right now, no one knows where this examination comes from," Rediff quoted NASA education official Dwayne Brown saying.

A meeting planned with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was hastily called off and the boy returned to his village of Narhai, where he is now under police investigation.

Singh had also said President Abdul Kalam and Indian astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who died in the Columbia shuttle explosion in 2003, had sat the test. Kalam's office denies this.

Singh insists he met Kalam, although some Indian newspapers say the meeting was canceled as he waited to go in.

"It was really inspiring," Singh told Reuters by phone. "And let me tell you, he saw my certificate and praised me for the achievement, while you all are asking all kinds of questions and trying to dub me as a fraud."

The certificate, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, declared "You are the member of NASA" (sic) and is signed by Singh and "Chief of NASA, Cin K. Kif" -- NASA's former administrator was Sean O'Keefe. It also lists the name of Singh's father, common practice in Indian documents.

Singh says he flew to London on Indian Airlines -- which does not fly to the city -- and took a taxi to Oxford University and back every day for the exam from January 4-8, a round trip of about 230 km (140 miles).

Singh told Reuters he stayed in a hotel, but told a Hindi language newspaper he stayed at Buckingham Palace.

The Indian school where he says he sat the preliminary exam along with 200,000 others does not exist. The Bansal institute, where he says he studied mathematics, has never heard of him.

Singh cannot produce his passport to back his claim. That, he says, is with institute director P.K. Bansal.

this guy just took it too far. you know he's the type that would try to change a "D" on his paper to an "A" when in fact a "B" would have been so much easier.

well folks, that does it for another installment of Dumbasses, tune in again where this sitewill be full of more useless antics.

What is, and what should never be.

There's alot going on in my head right now.

Tony was a great friend. He barely knew me when we met in the summer of '97. As I was the token "big guy" out of my friends in our brown-crew, he was the same in his.

Winter of 97 (december to be exact) I was attacked in a parkade by a group of people I had considered to be "friends." The beating lasted for about 2 minutes (although it feeled like an eternity) and involved a bat and tire-iron (luckily the latter wasn't used) but as I lay there bleeding and kicked as I was down, Tony was the only one of the crew (a block away) who began to wonder where I was and came looking for me.

If he hadn't shown up to level things out, things may have ended up worse for me. He got even with the guys a week later, enough for a judge to put him on probation.

Throughout '98 we were good friends. Went to the Symphony of Fire to pick fights on Robson street. Pretty much to see what we were capable of doing. On one incident, Tony happened to duck and a mist of mace that was directed towards him blew in my face. Yet he picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and carried me up Robson street all the way to the skytrain station on Granville.

I don't think I ever thanked him.

When my sister went through her painful divorce, I unfortunately ran into her ex-husband and his brother in a bar. Tony, knowing who they were, pulled me aside making sure I wouldn't get into trouble, and then kicked the idiot's brother's ass in the parking lot a couple of hours later. All with a smile on his face.

Tony was great guy, just took alot of risks.

A year younger than me, his brain helped him skip a grade in school and get accepted into SFU, although he decided not to go.

He found a living in the illegal; and because of it we began to drift apart over the last 5 years.

Tony has been in a jail cell since Monday night.

He killed his older brother at a Hallowe'en party.

There's alot going on in my head right now.

ALIVE!

a topic of discussion arose today at work and i thought i'd share it with you fellow readers

If we were all on a plane and it crashed in some cold barren mountainrange, and I was to lose my life; be it if there is no other source of food around for your survival, i want you guys to eat me.

needless, if you were the dead one and i needed to survive, i'd eat you too... without hesitation.

Not a bad night

while watching monday night football last night, it was also my duty to hand out the candy to the kidlets while the communist and her entourage assembled a desk in the basement

overall it was pretty fun. lots of cute kids throughout the night. i had planned on using my digital camera to take pics of everyone that visited, but then i realized that many may see me as a pedophile if i did such a thing so i cancelled that idea.

there was one incident though when i was visited by a group of teenagers (around 8 of them) and only 5 were in costume. three of the guys were wearing nike parkas and jeans. yet they too had the nerve to "trick-or-treat" with their hands out

THESE GUYS DIDN'T EVEN HAVE BAGS!!!

wassupwitdat?

so i only gave candy to those in costume and told the other three to get lost.

and one had the nerve to say "what the hell man?" as well as "but i'm deaf" (???)
even if he is deaf, put on a costume damnit.

so i proceeded to tell him "sorry" (in sign language as well) and said i only give candy to those who dress up

those of you who have visited my home may have seen the signs posted noting that there are deaf pedestrians in the neighbourhood, and yes there were deaf kids that came to my doorstep for candy, which i gladly gave them since they were in costume.

but if you come up to me door for candy, whether you're disabled or not, you better have a costume! and a bag to boot

sad sad sad kids
get out of my face
