“Sir, you have one of the homeliest brides I’ve ever seen.”
That had to be what the American soldier said to the “groom” in the wedding party at the security check point.

The Flowers Add To “Her” Natural Beauty
It’s crap like this – four people obviously up to no good – that really chaps my ass about our mission over in Iraq. These people were detained for questioning instead of being shot on the spot. They are known terrorists, and dressed up to avoid detection. Automatic death sentence? In a righteous world, yes. Why is it so hard to grasp that we should be killing the bad guys before they kill the good guys? God damned PC world we have created where we can’t do what needs to be done without a note from the President’s mom. Read more... (277 words, 3 images, estimated 1:06 mins reading time)

Sometimes I just don’t know which side of things I fall on. Feel sorry for him, or don’t feel sorry for him. That’s the question this story leaves me with.
Point A. The man is a prisoner in the US (I think, it never really says) awaiting deportation to El Salvador. From what I can gather, he was busted for being an illegal alien in the US. No, not an “undocumented immigrant” as the current political spin puts on it, but an illegal alien. OK, so my gut says send him home. He didn’t come here legally, he doesn’t deserve to stay.

First, there was Belle Starr, who was born in 1846 in Missouri. Then, just a year later, Jesse James was born in Clay Count, Missouri. Then, there was Michael J. Devlin who lived near St. Louis, who had kidnapped two boys (Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby), keeping them as his own, yet continuing to live a semi-normal life in his own neighborhood. Well, as normal a life as you can when you main source of income is delivering pizzas as a 41 year old man. Read more... (296 words, 1 image, estimated 1:11 mins reading time)

Dick Wilson, who played Mr. Whipple in the Charmin toilet paper commercials, died today. Frankly, I had no idea he was still alive, but it turns out he was 91.
1960′s Charmin Commercial
Proctor and Gamble supplied Wilson with a lifetime supply of Charmin. I bet they had no idea it would last this long.
Wilson also made 16 or 17 appearances as several characters on the television sitcom Bewitched, usually as the drunk, but sometimes a neighbor or other stock character (various episodes between #33 and #247). He played a similar character in Disney’s The World’s Greatest Athlete in 1973.

I know, I know. My “job” here is to write about some irreverent crap and how I’m looking forward to some dumb-ass celebrity to die, for both the points, and secretly (or not so secretly) the joy. Well, excuse me for one day while I turn serious.

Who is the most famous alligator victim of recent memory? Nope, wasn’t Steve Irwin — that was the formerly calm stingray. Roy, of Siegfried and Roy fame? No, doofus, that was a white tiger. Man I would pay top dollar to have seen that performance.
Alligator = Chubbs Peterson is the most famous. Read more... (518 words, 1 image, estimated 2:04 mins reading time)

This hasn’t happened in the US for quite sometime, although I thought maybe the Elmo, PS3, and Wii crazes might spark a frenzy big enough to get a few loonies killed. So far, no such luck.
But those crazies in China got themselves killed over oil. No, not the $100 a barrell oil that we are getting raped over with, but little old rapeseed oil (see what I did there?)

The soldier didn’t die in this story, and that’s a great thing. War is hell, and people will die, but it’s always good when more of them die than more of us.
I’m adding this story because of the cool x-ray. I dig pictures like this, and do my part by propagating them as best I can. It’s not as cool as the chair leg through the eye socket, but this is still pretty nifty work.

Jon-Erik Hexum (November 5, 1957–October 18, 1984) was an American actor and model, best known for accidentally killing himself on the set of a television series in which he was a central cast member.
Hunkerific!
Hexum died after shooting himself in the head with a prop gun loaded with blanks on the set of the CBS series Cover Up, a program about a pair of fashion photographers/models who were actually secret agents. Hexum, who played a weapons expert, was said to constantly be playing with the guns as if they were toys and once angered Jennifer O’Neill so much that she chastised him on-set for his carelessness.

A triple in the sense that Scott, who is winning the game, nailed all three of his waiver wire picks by earning points. I guess I could be pissed that he scored yet again (hitting 13 of his 25 picks), but I’m not for two reasons. A) He’s so far ahead, it’s all I can do to hope to stay in second place to get some money out of this, and B) it’s been 54 days since a scored death in the Ghoulpool.us main game (our mini game players have scored three in the last couple of months).
