Here's what you do, Mel: Take the 17 south from Flagstaff at night, that way your radiator will run cool. So cold, infact, you can make ice-cubes under the hood of your engine, go all the way into Phoenix . Now take Indian School Camelback and score your weed bag there from anyone..just be careful to follow them around the apartment complex. Don't stay at a trailer park on Thomas Rd. cuz they don't like noisy yelling renters, don't even attempt to hang around Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa as they are for seniors, they wouldn't know who you are. Continue south with your grass and find Gila Bend,do not stop go west to Yuma. Have your scream-a-thon there. You will be asked to leave the trailor park...Find your way to Palm Springs (that's more like it) enjoy your last few days of freedom, preferably Desert Hot Springs, as you will scare the "tan" crowd in town. Relax, think about what youve done...
Then turn yourself in

assume the power 1586/14.3

Mel Gibson tends to make pretty good movies. I don't give a sh*t what he said about whatever.

Man Fined $400 For Impersonating A Moron

from the no,-seriously dept

Okay, here's a quick one that I'm posting because it's amusing. Apparently a guy in Canada has been fined $400 for telling the cops his name was Andrew Moron after he was caught drinking beer at a beach. What's illegal about that? Well there's a ban on alcohol at the location and, the guy's name is actually Alan Henry, and so the police charged him with "impersonation to avoid arrest." So, basically, he was charged with impersonating a moron. Of course, one might argue that it's not impersonation if it's true...

McDonald's sold over 5000 kids meals with condoms instead of toys...

...talk about a happy meal.

Of course, I don't see what the big deal is.  The condoms were meant to go to school children anywayErmm

Vampire Weekend is being sued for $2 million by the woman pictured on the cover of the group’s sophomore album, Contra. Kirsten Kennis, who posed for the picture in 1983, says she was never contacted by the band about using her photograph. Kennis is also suing the photographer, Tod Brody, who reportedly forged her signature on a release form.

Hey, they were just balloons that blow up kind of in the shape of a penis.  There are other actual balloons that do the same thing, but I suspect they aren't as durable.

OK, I read the article they have a factory that makes both condoms and Last Airbender’s toys?

Funny thing in that blog post is that "the movie people aren't complaining".

I can see her point. Not likely that people bought it for the cover but she should get some money out of it.

If true it is likely that they'll never have to worry about being unemployed and having their benefits run out. How much is out there that we really don't know about our government?

Isn't that part of the beauty that is the randomness of life?

Got to love Washington DC's hypocrisy.

Arizona's Immigration Law encourages racial profiling, they say...yet DC can arrest you for carrying more than 2 condoms at once.  Ermm
