Hi, my name is Leigh. This is where you can find the oddest of the odd, the strangest of the strange, and the stupidest of the stupid. Just think how good it will make you feel! You will click away from here feeling like the smartest, most normal person on the planet! So sit back, relax, and get your daily dose of weirdness. *hehe*
What would you do if you walked into your house while it was being robbed? I’ve thought about that many times, especially after my Grandparents’ home was robbed years ago by men who came back two nights in a row and were actually seen by the neighbors who did NOTHING. But I digress.
Of course it all depends upon what kind of person is robbing your house as to what you would probably do, but one couple in Montgomery, Alabama, forced the intruder to clean up the huge mess he had made — at gunpoint.
Adrian and Tiffany McKinnon returned to their home near Montgomery, Alabama, after a week off to find that their home had been plundered.
Mrs McKinnon told the Montgomery Advertiser: “Tears just rolled down my face as I walked in and saw everything gone and piles of trash all over my home.”
Her husband suggested she go to see her sister while he checked what was missing.
But as he walked into another room he came face to face with the burglar - who was wearing one of his hats.
Mrs McKinnon said: “My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home. And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband’s hat sitting right on his head.”
Her husband then held the suspect, Tajuan Bullock, at gunpoint and made him sit down until he decided what to do.
His wife said: “We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor.”
When the police arrived, 33-year-old Bullock had another surprise in store - he complained to the officers about being made to clean up at gunpoint.
“This man had the nerve to raise sand about us making him clean up the mess he made in my house,” said Mrs McKinnon.
“The police officer laughed at him when he complained and said anybody else would have shot him dead.
Jane Balogh, 66, who lives in Seattle, registered her Australian shepherd-terrier mix, Duncan M. McDonald, to vote in April 2006 by putting her telephone bill in the dog’s name and using that as identification when she mailed the form to election officials. She said she did it to protest a change in the law that she believed made it too easy for non-citizens to vote. Seems like a cool idea to me. The government didn’t think so. They charged her with a crime!
Back in November she wrote “VOID” across the first ballot sent to the dog and returned it with an image of a paw print on the signature line. An election official called and she admitted what she had done, but the dog still was sent absentee ballots for school bond elections in February and May (That’s the government for you. Duh!).
Duncan M. McDonald was removed from the voter rolls in July, three weeks after the charge was filed against Balogh, who pleaded not guilty.
Seems to me the government should be grateful to her pointing out a serious flaw in their voter registration laws. But noooo, as with all governmental agencies, they can NEVER admit they’re wrong in any way, shape or form, so they filed charges against a 66 year old woman who meant no harm whatsoever, and who actually told them herself what she had done, probably expecting them to be a little bit grateful, if not amused. Poor woman. I bet she doesn’t hold such a strong belief in her city’s government anymore, do you?
Well, in the end she agreed to a deal that could remove the charge from her record. She won’t be prosecuted if she does 10 hours of community service, pays a $250 fine and avoids violating the law for the next year.
Miss Teen South Carolina 2007 gave a, shall we say, less than coherent answer to the question posed to her during last Friday night’s Miss Teen USA pageant in Pasadena, California. Unfortunately for her, it was a live broadcast. She is the poster child for why girls should stay in school and out of pageants!
Do you think she thought that made sense, or was she simply panicking and trying to find words? That must have felt reeaally scary. Wow. Just think of how embarrassed she must have been. Hopefully. If she wasn’t, then … wow, I don’t even want to imagine that!
“In Tacoma, Washington, a man accused of having sex with a goat is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday on an animal cruelty charge. Charging papers say a witness saw 63-year-old Arthur Lawton having sex with a goat May 8th in a barn at Eatonville’s Pioneer Farm Museum where he worked.
Lawton said he was trying to milk the goat.
Lawton missed a scheduled arraignment on August 3rd but turned himself in last night to Pierce County sheriff’s deputies.
He’s the second person charged in the county since the Legislature made bestiality a crime in response to the fatal injury to a man having sex with a horse in Enumclaw.
A man accused of having sex with the family pit bull dog was acquitted in May.”
Ummm … what’s up with the people in Washington state??? Now don’t go gettin’ your shorts all in a bunch you Washingtonians. I’m not sayin’ you’re ALL pervs. But really, what’s up? I mean, is it the water? WTF? Obviously it was bad enough that your legislators felt they had to go make a new law against it! I’m just sayin’.
*making mental note to skip the trip to Washington …. or just leave all the dogs at home*
