I vacationed there twice back in the early 90's. Yeah, it's Florida.

But it was the best vacation of my life, I do have to say.

My first time drinking rum, my one and only time I've ever had something halfway resembling a tan, great seafood nearly every night, beautiful ocean, beach, sunrises, etc. I was young, thin, bright-eyed, high on life, etc.

And just as I suspected, a whole lot of something about nothing. (aka the Internet/social media).

They're dating, and there are other pics in the article to prove it. So no side-dick, no cheating, nobody's "busted", etc.

Florida Man Who Organized Deadly Roach-Eating Contest Arrested For Slapping Employee With Lizard

I discovered today after sharing this recent link at work that there is a whole subreddit for "FloridaMan"! I had no idea it was such a big thing that it even has a following!

I wonder if Dorian might pop in to give us some sense of what's going on in Paris tonight after the Charlie Hebdo shootings. Just terrible.

Ignorant monsters…

[kieran]

I saw the screengrab of the asshats right before they executed the Paris police officer. Such a blatant disregard for life and authority.

All over a dumb cartoon....

Head of U.S. Catholic Group Says Cartoonists Provoked own Slaughter

I think this is one of those times where he'd do well to remember that whole "if you can't say anything nice..." thing.

[Mugge]

Just read on Boing Boing that Charlie Hebdo is going to push back by printing their next issues in one million copies compared to the ususal 60.000. It could probably go and become a collectors item, especially if they make it a sort of "greatest hits" issue.

Fuck it! I'll buy one if I can find one. It's the least one can do to stick it to the islamists.

There is a palpable sense of shock in the air, but also of solidarity. For example, last night I was in a bar (with an American friend, so a couple of foreigners). Several people were discussing the attack, and around 1 AM the bar turned on the TV as the police raided those buildings in Reims. The remaining customers huddled around the TV, and the barman handed out free spirits. As we chatted and watched the live raid we experienced one of those unlikely moments of human togetherness in the middle of the anonymous city.

I will say it is surprising how much it affects you to be in the same city as something like this, even if it makes no practical difference. If it happens in someone else’s city (or country) it’s definitely less personal.

I hope the two fugitives try to take over some remote farmhouse for shelter and get a dose of their own medicine from some mad French farmer with a 10-gauge. Would be a fitting end.

You know absolutely nothing is going on when local newspapers start reporting random musings on Twitter feeds of porn stars:

Popular porn star Mia Khalifa loves San Antonio-based Whataburger so much, she wants to own a franchise

The gold is in their photo carousel.

[psmith2.0]

Ironic. A young woman who makes a career out of giving head is in possible danger of losing her own if she's not careful.

Perhaps if she plays dumb and claims she can't read (and has no desire to learn how), that'll buy her a little mercy/lenience?

[Ryan]

I think this Reddit comment best describes how that story came to be published:

Somebody got busted at work "This? Oh no this is for a story...yeah a story..."

[Ryan]

So if anyone had any remaining doubts about Putin's desire to re-form the USSR:

Russia wants to prosecute soldiers who quit the Soviet army when their country quit the Soviet Union

[kscherer]

So, there was a pretty solid accident up the freeway a few hours, and this dude walked away with nothing bud a little head scratch!

Lucky SOB! If I were you, I'd call him up and ask him for some lottery numbers!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here - brace yourselves! - and suggest that there's a really super-good chance they were holed-up, smoking crack for two days straight! Or is that theory just too "out there"? Gosh, where could all the drugs have gone?! Sounds about right. The kicker of it all is if she gained about 25 pounds, took a shower and quit letting raccoons apply her makeup, she'd be kinda hot in a "Jessica Biel's (or Joan Jett's) wayward sister" sort of way.

Looking at video of the couple involved is a bit of a tip off... dodgy indeed.

Air India Changes Their Mascot To A Hipster Boy Taking A Selfie

Of all India's problems, I don't know why the Prime Minister felt the need to get involved with this.

[psmith2.0]

I'm about "selfie'd" the hell out at this point.

I'll never fly this airline, just for being such nimrods.

[kscherer]

Unbelievable!

All this over a stupid phone. Maybe he could have tried calling the police and pressing charges. Instead, he sends a clear message: "I am not fit to live amongst civilized humans."

A bullet to the head is the only viable solution—after being forced to endure what he put this woman through. Instead, we get to pay for his "rehabilitation" in a prison filled with gangster-thugs just like him.

[turtle]

I find it amazing that an accidental dialing of 911 was what got him caught.

[kscherer]

Yeah. He may have wandered around for weeks/months before being found. Instead, a kid playing with a phone lands him in jail.

<insert irony>

It just doesn't stop with these clowns.

Secret Service investigates agents after White House crash

Two agents—including the deputy in charge of presidential protection—drunkenly crash a car into a security barricade at the White House.

Is the cast of The Hangover now running that agency? WTF is going on?

[DMBand0026]

You left out the part where they either ran over or nearly ran over a package that a woman threw at other Secret Service agents while claiming it was a bomb. The allegedly intoxicated agents drove through police tape and either came close to or actually did run over the package. The woman who threw it hit 2 Secret Service agents with her car while trying to get away.

It's like the plot to a really bad Rob Schneider comedy. Don't bother pointing out that there is no good Rob Schneider comedy. And please forgive the New York Post link, I read this in the Chicago Tribune this morning but can't find the article.

Link.

Edit: Made quote instead of link. What are you, new?

"The saddest part about South Dakota's marketing campaign? I'd still rather die on Mars." ahaha

The accompanying website (YouCanLiveInSouthDakota.com) feels so desperate. JORBS JORBS JORBS and "Young people live here, we promise!"

And the shortest state for commute times? No shit, the largest city has 150,000 people. But commute times don't seem to be a concern for the young people they're targeting, considering the rate of urbanization. The whole site seems kind of cringey and devoid of content…just like South Dakota.
