Have Another Drink....

Hey Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike....What day is it?

The State of California wants to buy my car for $1,000. My 1991 Plymouth is getting on in years and isn't as efficient as the newer cars. So, the state wants to take it off the road. I'm getting on in years and I'm not as efficient either. When will they send a letter for me?

It's National Blonde Brownie Day.

I already celebrated, around 1 a.m I ate two small blonde brownies. Wanda baked a batch a few weeks ago and we have them in the freezer. Pop one in the microwave for 12 seconds and you have a very tasty treat. I did not know they were made with light brown sugar instead of dark chocolate. I never looked at the recipe. My job was to eat them.

It's also Answer Your Cat's Questions Day.

I have a terrific idea. Bake some loaded brownies, eat one or two, get comfortable and have a nice long chat with your cat.

According to Siteopia.com if you want a long lasting relationship some names are better than others.

This is a U.K. site so keep that in mind.

The Top 10 Wives Names: Katie, Sophie, Louise, Sarah, Emily, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Amy, Jessica and Lucy.

The Top 10 Husbands Names: David, Andrew, Daniel, Paul, John, William, Simon, James, Chris and Stephen.

The Women: Sybrina, Lucinda, Henrietta, Matilda, Doris and Opal.

If you missed yesterday's story about Gus and Virginia here are a few more.

A Tennessee man might be hit with a domestic assault charge after he became violent following an argument with his mother about washing dirty dishes.

The mother of the unnamed 23-year-old man refused to return his cell phone charger until he finished washing the dishes, and the man began breaking things in the kitchen.

After officers responded to his 41-year-old mother’s call for help, the man admitted to throwing a glass in the sink, breaking it, and also slamming the door of the dishwasher, causing minor damage.

The man also allegedly chased his mother into a bedroom. She hid there until police arrived. He took a credit card and forced himself into the bedroom, pinning her behind the door.

Following the incident, the man attempted to leave but couldn't start his car.

His mother had the keys.

Breaking news this morning from the city just north of Wanda's office.

Swat team officers in Vallejo are looking for a naked woman who is a suspect in an early morning fatal shooting at a local mobile home park.

Police received a report of the shooting around 5:45 a.m.

The witness who reported the shooting said that a naked white female in her 30s walked into the area with a handgun and started shooting.

Officers arrived at the scene soon after the report, cleared the scene and found a man with gun wounds. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Swat team officers were mobilized to search for the woman identified as the suspect. As of 9 a.m., the suspect was still at large.

The witness described the woman as early 30's, 5' 5" tall and around 125 lbs. He said, " When I first saw her I was so startled I tripped over the rug on my way to the binoculars. One thing for sure, she wasn't a natural blond."

Items stolen from British military reserves since 2007 include TVs, karaoke equipment and nearly $10,000 worth of Viagra pills, which officials said is used by the military to treat low blood pressure and altitude sickness...low blood pressure and altitude sickness, sure thing.

The stolen items also included an industrial washing machine, $11,500 worth of silver cutlery, a $41,000 statue, 100 bayonets, thousands of rounds of ammunition and equipment from nuclear submarines.

The total value of the stolen items was estimated at about $11.5 million.

A spokesperson said, "The Ministry of Defense takes detecting and deterring fraud and theft seriously and set up a new counter fraud and loss department. The focus of this new department's work is to secure reduced losses caused by fraud, theft and loss, increased recovery through civil and internal procedures and the improved protection of assets through increased target hardening."

If the Viagra isn't found more than targets will be hardening.

He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

Two brothers in New Jersey left a crime scene "covered in blood” after a violent fight about the last can of Pepsi.

A Jersey City man is on the run after allegedly stabbing his brother multiple times following an argument that occurred during the NFC Championship game on Sunday.

Michael Charles had been drinking alcohol for a few hours when he went to grab the last can of Pepsi from the refrigerator. His brother asked him not to. Already upset because the San Francisco 49ers were losing, Charles allegedly responded “go [expletive] yourself" and then hit the victim in the head with a pipe.

The 50-year-old victim fought back and stabbed Charles in the arm but was also stabbed several times in the chest with a small knife. He was treated by paramedics at the scene and sent to the Jersey City Medical Center.

Charles has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon.

And recreational pot is only legal in two states, Colorado and Washington.

When is the last time you read a story about violence that involved people smoking weed?
