Looking Guilty

Law and Order

Here’s one powdered wig that went askew:

A Mississippi attorney is accused of smuggling cell phones and drugs into prison.

Officials said Attorney Daniel Dale allegedly smuggled cell phones, cell phone chargers, drugs, and other items into the jail during what was believed to be meetings with clients.

He was arrested days after a video showed him allegedly giving a cell phone and a brown envelope to a client.

Dale was found with two cell phones, a digital scale, four vacuum-sealed packs of cigarettes, four vacuum-sealed packs of what is believed to be marijuana, two cellphone charger blocks, two cell phone chargers, and multiple cigar wraps.

And his mug shot:

As I replied to Reader Mike L. (who had sent the link to me, thankee squire):  “Fuck me, that mope could be accused of ANY crime and I’d believe it.”

Sometimes, ya just gotta shake yer head.

My Kinda Folks

Funny Stuff

I was chuckling over this little thing:

…when New Wife peered over my shoulder and commented:  “Your kind of people altogether.  So while you’re looking up the cost of flights to Finland, get me the same for a one-way to Mauritius.”

We live in different worlds…

(Of course, I need to get the rest of my guns out of hock first.)

Suggestion & Response

Good Stuff, UN and other scum

This may become a regular feature:

And the response:

There’s an old saying which goes something like “Never start an argument with a man who buys ink by the barrel”.

How much more appropriate a warning against starting an argument with a man who controls the largest electronic media outlet in the world.

Just Sayin’

Resistance

In response to this kind of nonsense:

My own personal policy is that if someone, anyone, starts shooting at me from the street when I’m sitting peaceably on my porch, I return fire, with interest (a.k.a. “massive retaliation”).

And just in case I haven’t been clear enough:  I don’t own a stupid paintball gun.

I can’t see it happening in Texas, mind you, mostly because I believe that more than a few Texans are of similar inclination.  And our cops aren’t that stupid. (“You want us to do whut?”)

Flipping Wonderful

Men & Women

Okay, now I’ve seen everything:

And the best part?  It’s a sex toy for men, for a change.  To see how it works, follow the link;  it’s kind of interesting.

I know, I know:  “Who needs it?”  “What’s wrong with the old Mrs. Palm and her five offspring?”  “That’s just perverted!”  “Don’t need it.”  “It’s too damn expensive anyway.”

I must confess that I’m not in the target market — even when I was young enough to be so — but I find it intriguing as hell.

But I’ll tell you something for nothing.  When I think back on some past experiences, I bet the Tenga Flip Zero Gravity is better than a lot of those.
