I’ve got two. I could probably get by with one. They probably wouldn’t take it this way, however.

Weird story of the day
Today’s story comes to us from my old stomping grounds via the St. Petersburg (FL) Times.
Police say that allegations of sex in the women’s restroom at Sidebern’s, one of Tampa’s priciest restaurants, prompted a rolling fistfight and, later in the parking lot, the arrest of a lawyer who tried too hard to get involved.
According to the police report, around 11 p.m. Saturday Aimee Marie Dias, 35, said she walked into the women’s restroom at SideBern’s, 2208 Morrison Ave., and saw two people having “sexual relations.”
According to Dias’ account, she verbally confronted the pair before she was assaulted. “Ms. Dias said she and Ms. Jacolow went to the floor rolling around exchanging punches, pushes, etc.,” the report states.
Hochschwender told police there was no sex, but that he “was upset and Ms. Jacolow was calming him as a result of a poor relationship.”
From Ms. Dias’s allegations, one can only assume what this “calming” entailed.
Oh, it gets better.
Hochschwender told police that Dias threw a punch at him, then the ensuing fight between the two women spilled out to the main bar floor.
Saturday night fights. Ms. Dias is a spunky lady.
Oh, there’s just a bit more.
Enter Brent Warren Yessin, 45, of Tampa.
According to the police report, Yessin was waiting for a valet to return his car outside the restaurant. He persistently offered his services and even misrepresented himself to officers as an attorney for those involved.
Heh. Classy place with classy clietele.
Desperado, Steve Buscemi: … I was up a few towns away- you know Saragosa? … Now this bar, it’s full of real low-lives. I mean, not like this place here.

Thief steals Thanksgiving dinner off woman’s porch
And anyone who lives in the north knows why.
Moore packed the cooler with half a turkey, potatoes and salad. She left it on her daughter’s porch Wednesday evening because her daughter’s refrigerator was too small to hold the food. [Emphasis mine]

Good week, Bad week
One of my favorite sections of THE WEEK magazine (Sorry, you may need to be a subscriber to follow the link),
Good week for:
Virtual friendship, after Internet analyst Bill Tancer reported that social networking through websites such as Facebook and MySpace has become more popular than surfing for porn. “Young users spend so much time on social networks,” Tancer said, “that they don’t have time to look at adult sites.”The constitutional right to show your underwear, after a local Florida judge ruled that a Riviera Beach law banning the wearing of baggy, low-riding pants was unconstitutional.
Brilliant insights, after Lynne Spears said in an interview that it probably wasn’t such a good idea to turn her daughter Britney into an international sex symbol at age 15. “It’s kind of like Britney was sent out into the world a little bit prematurely,” Spears said.
Bad week for:
Room service, after a hotel on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast fired all its male employees for repeatedly having affairs with foreign female guests.Mickey Mouse, after a Saudi Arabian cleric denounced the beloved Disney character as one of “Satan’s soldiers” who is trying to trick Muslim children into loving mice. “According to Islamic law, Mickey Mouse should be killed in all cases,” said Sheikh Muhammad Munajid.
The ultimate flight delay, after an XL Airline flight from Orlando to London that was taxiing for takeoff with 260 passengers aboard suddenly stopped and turned around. The passengers were told the small airline had just gone out of business and were ordered to exit immediately onto the tarmac, where they were left stranded.

They don’t call this the “silly season” for nothing.
Leaving no stone unturned in this election season, The Santa Fe Reporter talks to an astrologer about the election.
Some of her thoughts amazing,
You’ve looked at Gov. Sarah Palin’s chart and tentative birth time. What initially struck you about the Republican vice presidential nominee?
My initial thoughts are that she’s highly dramatic, intensely controversial, has an incredible amount of charisma, adds luster and sparkle to the Republican ticket and its legions, especially since McCain is so lackluster. She does for the Republicans what [presidential nominee US Sen. Barack] Obama did for the Democrats. She becomes the personality, the light around which people want to rally. You can’t wait to hear what she is going to say next.
See what I mean? Who would have guessed this?
I know you can’t wait to hear more,
Well, some of our most popular presidents have been Aquarius [like Palin]. Ronald Reagan was Aquarius, as was Franklin Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The sign itself doesn’t say whether you’re going to be liberal or conservative, to the left or the right, it just means the character of who you are is charismatic, usually can find a cause to jump on the bandwagon, or lead the bandwagon and rally a force of troops. People tend to elect Aquarians to be their voice, people who don’t feel that they have a voice.
Yeah, you’re feeling it, aren’t you?
McCain is a Virgo and that’s not necessarily a sign of leadership.
Democrats, especially may be surprised by that.
Finally, and sadly,
Given what all of the astrologers have been saying about McCain’s health from his chart, it’s highly likely that he would not serve out that term if he were to be president.
I look forward to more cutting edge stories from The Reporter. I may even add their feed so I won’t miss one.

Woman attacked fiance with a sword
What are the odds they will kiss and make up within the week?
But this line was classic,
She then came at him with a small hammer and began hitting him on the right side of his head. The victim’s blood got on the carpet in the residence, so she started yelling at him for that, Tischer added.
Smack. Smack. Smack. “Hey, you’re getting blood on the carpet.” Smack. Smack. Poke. Poke.

I hear it tastes like chicken
Rat meat in demand as inflation bites
No, not in the US, at least not yet that I know of.
But if they grow as big in Cambodia as the ones I saw in Papua New Guinea, they’re pretty big.
