Damn it.....yesterday, May 14th, was national Dance-Like-A-Chicken Day. I couldn't uncover the origin of this holiday. Put it on your calender for next year. Instructions for observing and celebrating are: Stand up and dance like a chicken. The wearing of feathers is optional. Although not necessary for maximum fun the official Chicken Dance Song is suggested.
Today is National Chocolate Chip Day, and they don't need to be in cookies. Every home should have a bag of chips in the cupboard.
Some of the more interesting news stories of the day.
Silva VonEckley, 31, of Stocking Cove, England said her father, Donald, died of bone cancer at the age of 67 in October 2011. Since then, and in spite of several notifications of his death, she has received over 20 letters of collection from the Royal Bank of Scotland. The bank is seeking remittance of a $9.17 overdraft.
Ms. VonEckley said she sent the bank a copy of her father's death certificate within two weeks of his passing, but the bank insisted on being shown the original and the debt eventually grew to $955.31.
"I got so tired of the letters and the aggravation I went ahead and took my dad to the bank and put his ashes (in the urn) on the counter," she said. "I'm sick of being hassled."
The account was closed after her visit but a spokesperson said. "New information has come to light and the debt has been transferred to collections."
The Royal Bank of Scotland motto: Alive or Dead it Matters Not...We're Here For You.
No, really...I hit my face on a door.
A French family said they have sustained injuries from flying objects at their home which they believe to be haunted by ghosts.
The residents of the home said a family member was hospitalized earlier this month after being struck by a chair in the face and a soap dish in the back.
The home owner told French television a visiting friend recently went to the emergency hospital after being struck by stones thrown by the haunting spirits.
The family said an exorcist from the local church has been visiting the house in an attempt to banish the spirits....The first spirits he is removing are gin, vodka, and rum.
Two Floridians were arrested within hours of robbing a bank. Mathew Maconnel, 32 and Roger Kinesky, 29 are accused of robbing a bank in the drive-through lane by claiming to have a bomb.
Police said just before 3 p.m. they pulled into the drive-through and sent a note to the teller implying they had a bomb and would set it off if they did not receive cash. The teller handed over an unspecified amount and set off the alarm. She also took down the license number of the truck the two were in.
Maybe I'm over thinking this? Two guys are outside in a truck demanding money. They claim they have, and will set off, a bomb.....?
A couple of questions for you. I just returned from a Safeway milk run. I was in the under 15 quick check lane. The woman in front of me had 26 items. She said, "I don't know where my son went" and split her items in half. The checker rang up two transactions of 13 items each. The woman paid with two swipes of her credit card. The "son" never showed up. I think she cheated.
So while waiting I had time to read a few magazine headlines.
"How To Get Flat Abs In Under 30 Days."
"How To Get Sexy Abs In Time For Summer."
"How To Get The Best Abs Ever"
Is there something about abs I don't know? What if you have the abs of a teen and the ass of a senior? What's better? flat. sexy or the best ever? I guess it's the best ever, that's what it says.
Only in Hollywood.
Police are searching for a Spider-Man impersonator who allegedly stole $6,000 in cash from a tour bus operator.
The reason the tour bus employee was carrying $6,000 in cash was not reported.
The Hollywood division of the L.A. police have been questioning Spider-Man impersonators throughout the city. They are asking the public for help. There is a reward offered for information leading to a conviction. Spider-Man is supposed to be a hero, we want to expose this obvious fraud.
A Virginia couple said they are seeking the return of two alien statues abducted from their front yard.
Reggie and Patricia Vickers of Roanoke said the 3-foot-tall green alien yard decorations were taken from their yard sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on April 22.
The couple said the statues decorated the yard of their old home for about a decade and migrated to the yard of their new home when they moved in 2011.
The Vickers said they paid about $20 each for the aliens at a post-Halloween sale.
Police (who have nothing better to do) are investigating the thefts.
It was a stupid pill, back to Florida.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office said a deputy pulled over Sarcadeima Rashad Burneedum, 21, for running a stop sign and discovered the 2004 Dodge Neon he was driving had been reported stolen.
Deputies said Burneedum initially claimed the car belonged to his girlfriend then later changed his story to say he found it with the keys inside and thought it was his.
The sheriff's office said a red pill was found in his front pants pocket. He first claimed it was candy and later said it was medicine, but he said he did not know what kind.
He was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and driving without a license. Deputies also cited him for running a stop sign and failing to yield right of way.
The pill is being analyzed to determine its substance.
Like I said, stupid pill.
