Truth! For one golfer in Irvine, California, his cry shouldn’t have been “Fore” but “Fire!” The golfer at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine landed a shot in the rough and on his next swing, his club snagged a rock, causing a spark that lit the rough ablaze and eventually required 150 firefighters to come to the scene!
k…so how many points is that worth?

One 19-year-old teen burglar from Russellville, Alabama proved he is definitely not ready for prime time crime. He made it easy for police to track him down after leaving his cell phone behind at the crime scene! The phone was left near where a computer was taken in the home burglary. Investigators began calling some of the phone numbers and determined the phone belonged to 19-year-old Tyler Blake Garrison who was already on probation for a previous burglary. Police also got surveillance video from the Wal-Mart in Russellville that shows the suspect cashing in coins believed to have been taken during the burglary. District Attorney, Joey Rushing said, “It helps when you’ve got stupid criminals.” (Times Daily) .. no kidding!
Have a good and safe long weekend,

In Holyoke, Massachusetts, 30-year-old Juan Rodriguez has been arrested after police found a kilo of cocaine in a most unusual hiding place– inside a hollowed out chunk of bologna that was delivered to his home! Police say they were tipped off by postal inspectors in Puerto Rico who had been investigating similar shipments. A dog confirmed the presence of drugs and the bologna was cut open. The meat was then repackaged and an undercover postal inspector delivered it to Rodriguez’s address where a woman sitting on the front steps signed for it. Police then executed a search warrant and arrested Rodriguez on a cocaine trafficking charge.
Everybody sing along now: My bologna has a first name, it’s c-o-c-a-i-n-e!

When it comes to State Fairs, you just can’t find anything these days that can’t be fried! Two finalists for the Sixth Annual Big Tex Choice Awards are particularly amusing as 2010 State Fair of Texas vendors vie for Best Taste & Most Creative. And those two require IDs proving the purchaser is 21. The first is Fried Beer — yes, Fried Beer! That’s a beer-filled pretzel pocket which is deep-fried to a golden brown. One bite and the escaping beer serves as a dipping sauce. Then there’s Deep Fried Frozen Margarita! That’s a sweet and creamy funnel cake batter deliciously mixed with margarita ingredients. It’s then fried, dusted with a tangy lemon/lime mixture and lightly spritzed with south of the border flavor and served in a salt rimmed glass. The final round is on Labor Day when a panel of three judges will pick the winners. Still our favorite might be the Deep Fried S’mores Pop Tart! That’s the Pop Tart with a sensational chocolate, peanut butter, s’mores flavor which is lightly battered and deep fried. Hot out of the fryer, the sinfully diet-busting treat is drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with whipped cream.
I’m in!

In a bold new move, this Sunday night’s Emmys’ host Jimmy Fallon has opened the door for public comments about the TV ceremony’s presenters. Fallon and his team of writers will then pick the best Tweets and incorporate them into his on-air material. The Aug. 29, 62nd annual Emmys will air live on NBC from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles starting at 8 p.m. ET. Fallon, who can be followed on Twitter @jimmyfallon, also acknowledged that Tweets were already arriving – not that he was providing any previews. “I like people to be surprised,” he said. “But I wish it could air tomorrow so you can see. I’m pretty proud of what we’re doing.”

What’s the worst traffic you’ve ever been in? Drivers were playing cards to kill time on one Chinese highway. The traffic jam, on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway between Beijing and Huai’an,lasted 9 days. So long in fact that people that live along the roadway were making money off it. They were selling food to those in traffic at a huge profit. Instant noodles are sold at four times the original price.
9 days!?!? What did these people do for washroom breaks or shower facilities. Peeyoo!

Theybf.com reported that according to an E-Label designer, Bey allegedly purchased a pair of the leggings from a TopShop in London. In her new ads for her Dereon line, she is seen wearing the leggings in question and the owners of E-Label noticed it.

One of the owners Heba Hallgrimsdottir said, “This is naturally huge and I am still half in shock. I didn’t [recognize] straight away that this was her own label: I just thought she was wearing our leggings. It is practically just copy/paste.”

This is how fast it happens these days. Tuesday, President Obama had a 4-hour visit to Seattle during which someone violated the air space restrictions and two F-15’s were dispatched from Portland. On their way up, they caused several sonic booms which set off car alarms and calls to 9-1-1. The very next day you could buy “Obooma” commemorative
t-shirts.
Ah, the American dream ..
