Trailer Parks

London has trailer parks! Can I just tell you how funny that was to me? Hilarious! Now of course they call them a much more refined name; Caravan parks. They are nicer than your run of the Easley trailer parks. Apparently they are summer homes for retirees. But say what you want, call it what you want, a trailer park is a trailer park is a trailer park. I knew that I would be just fine when I saw that on the drive from the airport. If I can get a picture of one I will of course faithfully post it. London trailer parks! I wonder if they wear mu mus here too!

Dinner Rolls to die for

A 62 year old man in Michigan was killed after arguing with his daughter over dinner rolls. The man was stabbed to death. A gun was also used durring the argument. The police later found the daughter hiding behind the house... Genius... and consider her a suspect.

Now I have had some really amazing food in my life. There have even been a few that might make me stab you in the hand if you reached for mine. But I doubt that there will ever come a dinner roll that I would kill for. I mean really? I can see it now, it was probably some of those rolls that everyone buys at Thanksgiving. You know the ones I am talking about. They are all one big attached sheet pan of white rolls with the lines cut into the tops of them. they brown up nice but they will be bricks if you leave them in one minute too long. But they are good for soppin up some gravy. Yeah, you know which ones I mean. I like those things, in their own place, but I'll be damned if I am stabbing anyone to get'em.

The whole crowd? Really?

I never knew you could eject a crowd from a game. Not someone in the crowd, the WHOLE crowd. An Umpire, Don Briggs, said that the entire crowd at a high school baseball game was too unruly to remain at the game... and ejected ALL of them. He also called the cops as a precaution. The school superintendent and the officer saw no unruly behavior, and the game resumed after a 40 minute delay. The Ump didn't even have an issue with any of the players, merely the entire crowd.

And now for the moment with Captaiiiiinnnnn Oooooobvious...

The Superintendent said that he just thought that the Ump over-reacted.

Your moment with Captain Obvious was brought to you by Umpire Don Briggs.

Warning:

I just want to warn all of my readers that for the month of July this post will be more dear diary than ode to randomness. I won't be boring you with tiny details, but I will be chronicling my trip to London and other European hot spots as I visit them, both with pictures and comments. So if you are not interested, please check back in August. All will be back to normal (sadly) then. Otherwise stay tuned,the Adventures of Ms. Red in London will begin soon! I sure hope Europe's ready for me!!!

6/25/09 A sad sad day...

RIP

I miss your snarky ways....

Please feel free to comment and mock the things you read here on my blog. I look forward to it! I need it! I miss it when it's gone, I.... well let's just say it gets lonely here in blogosphere, if no one else but me has anything to say. I talk to myself all the time. It's nice to hear from someone other than the voices in my head! So comment, call, email, or otherwise harangue me for my words. It brings meaning and light into my life. Oh and... tell you friends :D

News from Captain Obvious...

Can't you just hear the announcer's voice say that?

"And now for news from Captaaaaaiiiin OOOOObvious...."

I think that since we have sections in my blog for News from the World of Stupid,and many Episodes of Good Idea, Bad Idea it is time to add a new classification of "news."

So I now bring to you the first episode of News from Captaaaaaiiiiinnn OOOOObvious...

Mia Washington gave birth to twin boys almost a year ago. It was wonderful, until she noticed that the older the boys got, the more different they looked. Most people would just assume it was a freak genetic thing and go on about life. Mia went and got a DNA test. Why you ask? Well she knew she did the naughty with someone other than her "baby daddy" So it Seems like what had happened was...
She had slept wif two different mens at the same time and got pregnant by both of them... at the same time.
There is a happy ending. The father of one of the twins says he has forgiven Mia and will raise the other boy as his own. Awww yay.... but wait... Mia would like to offer everyone some sage advice...

"I'm trying to let everybody else know: Don't put yourself in my shoes, because it can hurt and it does hurt, but you still have to go on with life"

Well Thank you Captain Obvious.... getting pregnant by two men at the same time... bad idea. Who knew?

This concludes your first episode of News from Captaaaaaiiiiinnnnn OOOOObvious....
