TGIF. No, Really.

TGIF

If you think you’ve had a bad week, just remember – it could have been worse. Check out what happened to these guys (and gals)… 

In Wichita, Kansas, police were called to a Home Depot store about 12:15 pm… Seems that an employee was answering nature’s call… when an unnamed man emerged from one of the stalls… and said, “Somebody told me there’s a bomb in the building, you need to leave the building”… except that what he actually heard was (something along the lines of): “You all need to get out of here because I’m fixin’ to blow it up”… Now you may get it… but apparently the store employee didn’t… 

OK, this uses language that is definitely NSFW… On the other hand, you might find the definitions handy for that next interoffice correspondence… 

In Tampa, Florida, while you may have read reports about people getting smaller-than-expected tax refunds (which, of course, is not the same as paying larger-than-expected taxes, but that’s a whole other story), one Ramon Christopher Blanchett once got a refund of $980,000… on a reported income of $18,497… and then it got interesting… 

In South Island, New Zealand, sea lion research volunteer Amanda Nally found an ailing sea lion on a beach here… phoned a hotline for help… which arrived, and at the same time she gathered some of the sea lion’s droppings for clues as to the ailment… But what was really weird was what they found in the sample… and weirder still… how it (apparently) got there… 

In Houston, Texas, there’s apparently a new trend getting off the ground… rage yoga. I kid you not… 

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has released their top 10 list of the most unusual prohibited items that were found in 2018… and just think, you could have been on a plane with these…  

In Grants Pass, Oregon, while Valentine’s Day is often focused on sweethearts, you could have invested in a unique way to “speak” to ex-valentines… (Too late now, but maybe for next year?)… 

And finally, in Sebastian, Florida, Matthew Anzaldi, 25, was pulled over by an Indian River County Sheriff's Office deputy for driving recklessly, going 80 mph and passing cars on the shoulder of U.S. 1… Matthew claimed that he thought someone was chasing him and that he heard “bullets hitting his vehicle”… but, thanks to his other reason, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in next year’s Super Bowl commercials… 

Have a great weekend, folks! Hope you’re enjoying the new website – we’ll help you explore it next week – but not Monday, as we’ll be closed for Presidents’ Day. 

See you on Tuesday!
