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!

Beyonce is being accused of stealing one of her new Dereon leggings designs from Iceland’s E-Label Shop. 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.”
Check out the link below to get a glimpse of the leggings.

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 ..

In Milwaukee, police pulled over a 54-year-old driver for what they thought was an indecent exposure offense in progress. Our man wasn’t quite naked but was apparently in the middle of changing clothes. He told police he had gotten all sweaty while spending a day at the state fair and was just trying to change into a more comfortable outfit. So they let him off with a warning but let this be a warning to you– best to wait until you get home to change– that is if you’re supposed to be watching the road and oh yeah, driving your car!!

He let him off!?!?!?! I’m sorry I hit that tree your Honour, I was zipping up my fly!

A good reason to celebrate today .. “Cat Nights of Summer”, traditionally a time when cats yowl and witches prowl, which harks back to the belief that a witch could turn herself into a cat 8 times but on the 9th time, August 17, she couldn’t regain her human form. Hence the notion that a cat has 9 lives.
I’ll celebrate anything once! ; )

Get ready for some more highly quotable poop to hit the fan fairly soon. Increasingly unhinged actor Mel Gibson has flown back to Los Angeles after a 2-week fishing trip in Fiji with 2 of his sons…(I hope he caught his quota, otherwise he might have pitched a tantrum!) Sources say Mel’s deposition in the custody case involving former girlfriend and baby mama Oksana Grigorieva will go down this week.
Ah, the glamorous life of a movie star ..
