Bizarre
Naughty Kayla, Phone Whore
Oct 20th
A man calls a phone sex line and says, “Hey, I need to talk to a hot chick, but I don’t have a lot of cash.”
The operator says, “Hey no problem, you can try out Grindy Ginnie. She’s only 2 bucks a minute. But she used to be a heavy smoker, and now she has to give phone sex with a mechanical voice box.”
“Nah,” the man says. “I don’t have two dollars per minute. What else ya got?”
“For a buck-fifty, you can get genuine phone sex from someone who thinks they are in the Great Depression. Basically, its my Gramma, and she forgets what year it is.”
“I don’t think so,” the man says. I still don’t think that’s cheap enough. Who else you got?”
“Well…” the operator hesitated. “There’s Naughty Kayla from Knob Noster. And she’s only a buck a minute.”
“Yeah, that sounds more like it,” said the man. “What’s wrong with her?”
From NBC 4 Here:
KNOB NOSTER, Mo. — A phone sex operator said she’s owed big bucks for talking dirty.
After an online chat with friends, Janice Huge said she was recruited to do phone sex. She said she’s spent lots of time on the phone, but now she can’t get her employer to pay up.
“My name was Kayla, naughty Kayla, on the line,” Huge told KMBC-TV in Kansas City.
Huge, who is blind and has muscular dystrophy, said she was unable to work because of her disability, so she gave phone sex a try.
She said she started working for Erotic Communications in August, and so far, they haven’t paid up.
“I would take anywhere from eight to 15 calls a day,” Huge said.
She said Erotic Communications owes her about $8,000.
She said she has contacted the attorney general’s office and the FBI. Huge said she’ll never work in the phone sex industry again.
Okay. I don’t know what a “Knob Noster” is, but that’s where she lives. A fat, blind lady named Jan Huge. She gives phone sex. Ick. Maybe she’s already been paid, but just can’t see the checks? The video here shows the men locating her by the cheapest price on the website. Maybe if she got her seeing eye dog in on the act she could charge an extra 50 cents per minute.
And for those of you who will email me and say, “Pat, you are just being mean,” can save yourself the trouble. Its not like Jan Huge will read this post anyways.

Oct 18th
This is a very gruesome story about a pair of French Quarter Bartenders, Zack Bowen and Addie Hall, who hooked up the night that Katrina blew into New Orleans. They managed to stay together through the disaster, and stupidly, they refused to flee the city when it was flooded. They did a little looting to get supplies, and the two were profiled as some type of “heoric” figures for refusing to abandon the city.
Now they are both dead. He strangled her and then dismembered her. He popped her feet and legs into the oven and set it on high and left it there. Her head went into a stew pot on the heated range, and he left that one there too before taking a leap out of the window of their apartment window, committing suicide.
Drudge tipped me to the story. The bulk of it is here.
Some holdouts seem intent on keeping alive the distinct and wild spirit of this city. In the French Quarter, Addie Hall and Zackery Bowen found a unusual way to make sure that police officers regularly patrolled their house. Ms. Hall, 28, a bartender, flashed her breasts at the police vehicles that passed by, ensuring a regular flow of traffic.
Part of their food supply came from a local grocer who opened his doors once the looting began. “He said, `I’m gonna get the insurance check anyway, so take what you need,”‘ Hall recalled.
A suicide note in the pocket of a man who jumped off the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel late Tuesday led police to the grisly scene of his girlfriend s murder, where they found her charred head in a pot on the stove, her legs and feet baked in the oven and the rest of her dismembered body in trash bag in the refrigerator, according to police and the couple s landlord.

Thanks to Chris for the heads up on this one. An Austrian Roofer slipped and somehow nailed his testicle to the roof he was working on. Egads!
From Ananova here:
An Austrian workman who slipped while working on a house nailed his own testicle to the roof with a nail gun.
August Voegl, 59, from Jennersdorf, shot the four-inch nail into his left testicle with the compressed air nail gun.
He was unable to extract it or pull himself away from the roof.
Emergency medics were called in to separate the man from the roof after which he was airlifted to a nearby hospital where he is reportedly recovering well after surgery.

Oct 16th
This story sounds completely whacky, but then again, its Bill Murray. He shows up to a college party in Scotland with a very young Nordic blonde. He parties it up and then does the dishes and dips out.
From the AP here:
Actor Bill Murray created a small sensation in the Scottish town of St. Andrews, joining Scandinavian students at a late-night party and even helping to wash the dishes, a newspaper reported Sunday.
The 56-year-old Murray joined up with 22-year-old Norwegian student Lykke Stavnef, who took him to a house where a party of Scandinavian students was in full swing.
“Nobody could believe it when I arrived at the party with Bill Murray,” Stavnef, a social anthropology student, was quoted as saying. “He was just like the character in ‘Lost in Translation.’”
She said Murray was happy to drink vodka from a coffee cup, then to help wash dishes in the cramped kitchen. The Sunday Telegraph article is accompanied by a photograph that appears to show Murray, dressed in a checkered shirt and a brown vest, washing a metal pot at the sink.
Tom Wright, 22, another college student, said: “The party was overflowing with stunning Scandinavian blondes. He seemed to be in his element, cracking lots of jokes. It was the talk of the town the next day.”
Shortly after doing the dishes, Murray left the party, the students said.

Oct 12th
An update to a story I wrote about here. The Mexican fishermen who drifted across the Pacific Ocean for 9 months may get big cash for selling their story for a movie deal.
From Reuters here:
Three Mexicans who spent nine months drifting across the Pacific Ocean in a flimsy fishing boat eating raw fish and sea birds are to be paid at least $3.8 million to turn their story into a movie.
The men were feared lost when their 25-foot (8-meter) fiberglass boat ran into trouble off Mexico’s Pacific coast last November.
As their families gave them up for dead, they drifted more than 5,000 miles before being picked up in August by a Taiwanese tuna trawler near the remote Marshall Islands in the South Pacific.
The three had survived by catching birds and fish to eat and drinking rainwater — and occasionally their own urine.

Oct 11th
I have no idea why this has crossed my radar screen, but its a rather ridiculous story on how brutal police are when dealing with runaway large flightless fowl. The police can perform a pit maneuver at high speeds, can yank a suspect through a car window, and fearlessly confront drunken spouses in domestic disputes. But their only solution to a big ugly bird? Shoot it.
From the AP here:
GRANITE CITY, Ill. – Packing 100 pounds on its 5-foot frame, the big bird gave police in this St. Louis suburb a mighty run, confounding them all six times someone reported the ostrich-like beast bugging motorists last weekend along busy Illinois Route 3.
Police finally caught up to the claw-footed menace Monday and ended the ruckus once and for all, cornering the emu, a cousin to the ostrich, and shooting it dead out of fear it’d again wander into traffic and kill someone.
In June, police in Carbondale, about 100 miles south of Granite City, needed five shotgun blasts and three rounds from a rifle to dispatch one of the flightless birds after cornering it in a residential area, where it was said to have even pecked on a home’s window.
And in Wisconsin last week, an emu found wandering one town’s streets was tranquilized by a veterinarian and returned to its owner after police efforts to halt the bird with a stun gun didn’t work.
Meat from the emu slain here was being processed by a Granite City police officer who hunts and would be donated to local food pantries, Miller said.
So I guess the cops in these towns dont have an animal control unit? No tranquilizer guns? One of them tried to use a stun gun? I bet that only pissed him off! Click here to see how Mike Rowe captures ostriches. Im sure it would work on an emu too. Just walk up, grab it by the neck and drop a sack over its head.
And the homeless in town have to eat the ugly big bird. As if it didnt suck bad enough to have to face a pending winter as an “urban outdoorsman,” the city force-feeds you the freak animals they gun down on the city streets.

There is one punishment that is still left over from the Pirate Days. A man that attempted to rape an elderly woman has been sentenced to years in prison plus lashes with a cat o’ nine tails.
From Reuters here:
Bahamas orders man lashed with cat-o’-nine-tails
NASSAU, Bahamas (Reuters) – A man convicted of trying to rape an 83-year-old woman was sentenced to eight lashes with a cat-o’-nine-tails, a punishment used by the British Navy in the 18th century and reinstated in the Bahamas 15 years ago.
Altulus Newbold, 34, was sentenced on Friday to 16 years in prison after being found guilty of burglary, attempted rape and causing harm. Justice Jon Isaacs ordered that he receive four lashes of the whip at the start of his sentence and four upon his release, but suspended the punishment for three weeks pending a possible appeal.
The cat, a whip made of knotted cords, leaves flesh wounds and is used on the offender’s back by a prison guard. It was outlawed in the Bahamas many years ago, but reinstated in the former British colony in 1991 in the face of rising crime.
Newbold was accused of breaking into a woman’s home on Cat Island in July 2004 and trying to have sexual intercourse with her. The woman told the court that she grabbed Newbold’s genitals and “mashed” them. He bit her to make her let go and then fled the scene.
A spokesman for the attorney general’s office said the cat was last used in 2000 on a child rapist. That was the first time it had been used since 1994.
Arrgh! Sounds like a fit punishment for such a scurvy dog!

Oct 10th
A sick stupid woman who continually has children out of wedlock, used her latest spawn of her loins, an infant of one month, as a cudgel to attack her baby-daddy. The baby’s skull was cracked and it had internal bleeding of the brain.
But she claims it was an accident. She thought she was reaching for an ashtray. Her baby-daddy says it was an accident too. But I guess he has to say that, or the woman will use another of his children as a tool of assault.
This is the only acceptable “baby bat.”
From the AP here:
ERIE, Pa. – A northwestern Pennsylvania woman accused of using her baby to batter her child’s father said she didn’t realize what she was doing until it was too late.
Chyrotia Graham, 27, of Erie, told police she had been drinking when an argument with the child’s father turned violent early Sunday morning, according to an affidavit filed to support Graham’s arrest.
First, who the hell names a child Chyrotia? It sounds like a rash of the belly button. Also, why is this woman drinking? Wouldnt she be breastfeeding? Or is she on welfare and feeding the baby Similac? Back to the story….
Graham said she “snapped” and began grabbing things and throwing them at Deangelo Troop, 20, not realizing she had picked up her 4-week-old son, Jarron Troop, telling police she held the child by his legs and swung him at his father.
Graham was being held in the Erie County Jail on Monday on $75,000 bond. She faces charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault.
Jarron, who was born Sept. 11, suffered a fractured skull and bleeding in the brain after the incident. The infant’s head hit Deangelo, who had also fathered one of Graham’s other four children.
Not a real shock that these two don’t share the same last name. So Deangelo fathered two demon spawn from this wretched woman? I’d go on the Maury show and get that one checked out. Okay, more story….
Deangelo told the Erie Times-News that Graham never meant to hurt their child. “People are trying to make a big deal about it, but she did not do it on purpose. … It was just a mistake,” he said.
Police said Troop punched Graham in the eye after she put the baby down, and police photos later showed her eye blackened and swollen shut.
Deangelo acts like a battered spouse here, making excuses for the awful woman and her violent behavior. And nice right cross giving Chyrotia a fat black eye. He should have hit her again, given the circumstances. And finally…
Authorities removed Graham’s other children from the home. The Erie County Office of Children and Youth granted temporary custody to their maternal grandparents, Gloria Graham and Cornell Petty of Erie.
Oh! I see now. Not marrying fathers runs in Chyrotia’s family.

Think you had a bad day? At least you didn’t start off brushing your teeth only to shoot lightning from your ass. But its a neat trick if you can do it!
From the Australian here:
A WOMAN has suffered severe burning to her anus after being struck by lightning which hit her in the mouth and passed right through her body.
Natasha Timarovic, 27, was cleaning her teeth at home when lightning struck the building.
She said: “I had just put my mouth under the tap to rinse away the toothpaste when the lightning must have struck the building.
I don’t remember much after that, but I was later told that the lightning had travelled down the water pipe and struck me on the mouth, passing through my body.
It was incredibly painful, I felt it pass through my torso and then I don’t remember much at all.” Doctors at the city hospital where she was treated for burns to the mouth and rear said: “The accident is bizarre but not impossible.
She was wearing rubber bathroom shoes at the time and so instead of earthing through her feet it appears the electricity shot out of her backside,” a medic told local television news channel, 24 Sata.
“It appears to have earthed through the damp shower curtain that she was touching as she bent over to put her mouth under the tap. If she had not been wearing the shoes she would probably have been killed by the blast.”

Oct 6th
A High School Science teacher by the name of Candace Longworth took two female students to an old graveyard as some sort of bizarre extracurricular activity. There, the three of them broke into a crypt in which bodies of miners which were killed in an explosion in 1884 were buried. She snapped some photos of the girls posing with the decaying bodies.
The caper was uncovered when the girls were running around in school showing off the photos.
Here is her picture.
If you would like, you can ask her why she was defiling the dead. Her email address is clongworth@bland.k12.va.us but since she’s been suspended, Im not sure if she will get around to responding any time soon.
From the AP here:
ROCKY GAP, Va. – A high school science teacher is charged with breaking into a century-old funeral vault, handling the remains of a corpse, and taking photographs of two students holding the bones inside the crypt.
Authorities have charged Candace Longworth, 31, of Bastian, with a felony charge of disturbing and defiling a dead person from a place of burial and two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The teenagers have been charged as juveniles.
Longworth has been suspended from her job as a biology and earth science teacher at Rocky Gap High School in Bland County pending the outcome of the legal proceedings, according principal Robert Morehead. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Oct. 23.
Longworth could not be reached for comment.
Lee said the Sheriff’s Department began an investigation after it was contacted by the school administration when least one of the two teenage girls began showing pictures of herself inside the vault holding the bones.
The vault, which is partially below ground, is in a cemetery in Pocahontas, a town on the West Virginia border established in 1884 for 114 coal miners killed in a mine explosion.
Authorities allege the teacher and students entered the vault through a large crack. No bones appear to have been taken, Lee said.
The felony charge against Longworth carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
What the hell is wrong with some teachers? This woman is way too involved in the lives of her students. According to her mini-biography, she is unmarried, which means she is likely trolling match.com for a man, like most unmarried female teachers. Here is her bio from her High School Newspaper. Heh. I wonder if the school paper will run with the story of the Ghoulish Teacher?
Rocky Gap High School has added a few new faces to the faculty. We have interviewed these people and here is what we discovered.Candace Longworth is here to further our knowledge in Earth Science, Biology 1, and Biology 2. She is also assisting with girls basketball and is in charge of the Jr./Sr. Prom. She comes with a Bachelor degree in Science from the University of Virginia-Wise. Her Previous experience was at Oak Hill Academy, a private school. She enjoys assigning homework nightly, water sports, watching football games, gardening, and spending time with her kids (dogs).

Kenneth Kahn, 41, a professional joker known as “Kenny the Clown,” admits he’s running a long-shot campaign for City Hall’s top spot. Kahn has not previously run for an elected position and has never sat on a public board.
“People ask me, ‘Do we really want to elect a clown for mayor of the city?’” he said. “I say, ‘That’s an excellent question.’”
Kahn’s mother, Barbara, said her son doesn’t have a chance, and Sylvia Kahn, a teacher, said her brother’s candidacy is a “mockery of our system.”
Even a clown’s own family hates him. Clowns are only funny when their stupid over-sized shoes are too big to close the coffin lid on them.

Sep 29th
If he couldnt email your problems away or talk them away by phone, he said he could time travel and make the pain never happen. What an idiot. Worse are his duped customers.
From NBC4 here:
An Ohio chiropractor who claimed to treat patients using time travel has surrendered his license to practice.
State regulators had been investigating Dr. James Burda of Athens, who said he could take care of anyone, anywhere by reaching back in time to when the injury occurred.
Burda said he discovered the skill six years ago when he hurt his own foot while driving. He said he gave the pain a command to stop and it went away.
He said he doesn’t use force to realign bones, but he uses his mind to manipulate the body. But if that doesn’t work, he said he travels back in time to fix the problem. He calls the practice Bala-Keem. State medical officials call it malpractice.
Burda’s Web site offered long-distance healing service for $60 an hour.
The Ohio State Chiropractic Board accused him of being unable to practice due to mental illness. Now, in a written statement, Burda acknowledges his form of treatment was not acceptable.
Isnt being a chiropractor borderline quackery anyways? Now one of them is claiming to do long distance healing? He has a lot of made up words that form his mystic healing powers. One of them is called “bahlaqeem.” From his website here:
Bahlaqeem is a long distance healing service (not a product) to help increase the quality of your life that can be performed in the privacy of your home or other personal space. There is no need to come to my office. Best results occur when there is good communication with me by phone or email.
And its not just people he heals. From the comments section is a well written testimonial from a dog. The dog says:
“I am a 10 year old Bassett Hound and I have been in a lot of pain in my neck area. I would even wake up during the night and yowl from the pain. My owner called Jim Burda and described the way I was moping around and walking with my head down. Over the phone he was able to work on me. He found the area in my vertebrae that was out of place and was able to manipulate it into place. I am feeling much better and I hold my head up high again. There hasn t been a reason to yelp now for several weeks! Thank you.” DaisyMae
So there you go. Im a believer. Not only can he heal a dog, he can teach it to speak english and write testimonials on a webpage, all without the use of opposable thumbs!

Sep 29th
PETA is wasting their time here in the United States. There is so much more they can be doing abroad. But no, they would rather stay in the United States comparing circus elephants to black slaves.
Those whacky Chinese, who send out squads of enforcers to murder dogs because they may spread rabies, have some competitions among the animal kingdom, including monkey weightlifting, horse fights, kangaroo kung fu, and black bear gymnastics.
With the way that China’s laws disregard animals, is it any wonder that the Chinese Government regards their own people with such disdain?
From the Daily Mail here:
An Australian kangaroo receives a fierce blow to the head by a man dressed in a clown suit in a shameful contest that will further fuel fears over China’s barbaric attitude to animals.
In the fight, the Australian kangaroo appears to reel backwards after receiving a right hook from its garishly attired opponent.
But the ‘roo, which was wearing boxing gloves on its front paws, fought back, grappling with the clown who was forced back towards the ropes by its onslaught.
The kangaroo is just one of 300 ‘athletes’ taking part in the annual event, now in its fourth year, at the Shanghai Wild Animal Park.
The event held in a large arena also involves an elephant carrying the Olympic torch and various animals including zebras and mountain goats put through a series of events such as hurdles and races.
Also pictured at the event yesterday were bears standing with boxing gloves on their paws during another distasteful performance.
In July the Daily Mail reported the babrbaric sport of horse fighting where cheering crowds took bets on which stallion would win a bloody battle.
That Chinaman is wearing a Clown Suit. I hope the Kangaroo breaks his clown neck. If you buy things made in China, this may be the type of recreation you are supporting. More pictures below.

This sounds like an awesome concept for a restaurant. A giant central Buffet of dried cereal and several types of milk. You get a choice of toppings such as fresh fruit and sugary candies to go with your cold cereal bowl.
It would be even better if they had TV’s everywhere showing classic saturday morning cartoons.
From the Richmond Times Dispatch here:
All cereal, all the time. It’s a Seinfeldian-slash-Saturday-morning-cartoon fantasy.
People whose idea of heaven is 37 kinds of cereal–or unlimited access to a particular favorite–are Out of the Box Cereal Co.’s target demo.
The new eatery by Virginia Commonwealth University was designed for folks who breakfast all day, or at least between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. To accompany its 37 cold cereal choices (plus oatmeal, come winter), Out of the Box offers six kinds of milk, eight kinds of fruit and three candy toppings.
Plus juices, coffees, teas, energy drinks, muffins and yogurt parfaits.
It’s a simple concept not unlike building your own burrito or salad. Belly up to the corrugated aluminum bar, name your poison and shuck out $1.99 to $3.99 for a 16- to 32-ounce snap-crackle-and-popalicious bowl of sugary goodness.

Watch out for an emu on the loose if you’re driving through the Centreville area.

But the third emu is still on the loose. It was last seen Wednesday morning near Kamputa and Sully Park drives, far from home.
Police said the emu will probably stay off roads and highways unless it gets scared or cornered.
It was last spotted here. Judging by the maps, it seems to be enjoying the fresh water from Bull Run and the lush grasses of several connected Golf Courses.

A Chinese man chugs some beer and wants to get all huggy and kissy with a Panda. He jumps into the Panda enclosure and the Panda bites the drunk Chinaman in the leg. Okay, so maybe Pandas do have teeth and know how to use them. I still think I would totally dominate a Panda in a fight to the death.
This hilarious story comes from the AP here:
Zhang Xinyan, from the central province of Henan, drank four jugs of beer at a restaurant near the zoo before visiting Gu Gu the panda on Tuesday, the Beijing Morning Post said.
“He felt a sudden urge to touch the panda with his hand,” and jumped into the enclosure, the newspaper said.
The panda, who was asleep, was startled and bit Zhang, 35, on the right leg, it said. Zhang got angry and kicked the panda, who then bit his other leg. A tussle ensued, the paper said.
“I bit the fellow in the back,” Zhang was quoted as saying in the newspaper. “Its skin was quite thick.”
Other tourists yelled for a zookeeper, who got the panda under control by spraying it with water, reports said. Zhang was hospitalized.
“No one ever said they would bite people,” Zhang said. “I just wanted to touch it. I was so dizzy from the beer. I don’t remember much.”

Sep 13th
This is a wierd story. A man got himself a very long running start in his Honda Accord, and by the time he hit the dead end street, he was doing over 100 miles per hour. At the end of the dead end street was a dirt embankment meant to keep people from making unauthorized shortcuts between two streets. The dirt embankment was about 4 feet tall.
The man went airborn and flew his car about 200 feet, reaching a height of about 60 feet. He hit into the side of an apartment building and died on impact. But he was wearing his seatbelt, which leads me to believe that the impact with the apartment was not intentional.
From the UPI here:
The driver of a car that smashed into the second floor of a Coram, N.Y., apartment building at more than 100 mph died, but somehow injured no one else.
The Honda Accord driven by 43-year-old Vincent Pontillo Jr., had to be removed with a backhoe hours after the incident Tuesday, Newsday reported.
Police in the Long Island community said neither drugs nor alcohol seemed to be a factor in why Pontillo was driving down the one-way street at such high speed.
His car apparently struck a berm 3-5 feet high, sending it airborne over a one-story laundry building adjacent to the apartment complex, at a height of 10 to 20 feet, witnesses told police.
It struck the bathroom of Amrita Bijoor, who was asleep in her bedroom.
The woman was indeed lucky. But look at this Google Map of the apartment. To the north you can see the dead end street and the dirt ramp. If you hit it right, you would likely miss the apartment. Was this man just trying to set a distance jump? Or was this just a spectacular suicide?
