Well, here we are again at the end of yet another workweek—but just look at what happened to these guys and gals…
Is there no end to the silliness on eBay?
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jesse O’Dell popped into a local Starbucks around 7:30 a.m. one recent morning (he’s apparently been doing so almost every day for the last 16 years) …picked up his usual $10 order (Iced Americano and Venti Caramel frappuccino with the extra shot for his wife)…oh, but the tip was…well, a bit, shall we say…generous…
Pssst. It’s the other one…
In Newport News, Virginia, the local library recently got a book returned… that was checked out on March 23, 1980…(it was A.J.P Taylor's How Wars Begin—cause I knew you’d want to know) not that the patron had the “courage” to show up in person…cause guess what the fine would have been…
And the winners of the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s “Name a Snowplow” contest are… (personally, I prefer #3 - Clearopathra)…
And now for the main “events”:
In Palm Coast, Florida, Lantz Kurtz broke into a local gas station here…and made off with several items…but it didn’t take long/much to track him down…
In Dallas, Texas, Davion Irvin, 24, had issues with the confinement of animals in the Dallas Zoo…and set upon a campaign of sorts to free them…so much so that he waited till after dark, jumped a fence to get onto zoo grounds…cut the metal mesh of an enclosure…and took the two emperor tamarin monkeys (Bella and Finn)…but his choice of getaway vehicle was a bit unusual (and ultimately ineffective)…
In Dade City, Florida, while arranging for garbage pickup can often be frustrating…but for Barry and Susie Cort, the frustration was a whole other kind…the overly aggressive kind…though they DID leave something behind…
In Washington, DC, Medgar Webster Sr., the former vice chair of the D.C. Police Union…perhaps looking to bring home a little extra cash, was (also) employed at the local Whole Foods…there was just one little problem…
And finally, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Robert Powers, 37, raised a little…you know…forcing his way into four different homes in the late afternoon…starting with him breaking down the door of an ex…before leaving after realizing they weren’t home…but what really stood out was Robert’s (apparently) secret identity…
Have a GREAT Super Bowl weekend, folks!
