Marijuana is Cool
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007NYC musician/pot dealer Peter Dagostino (of The Pete Dag Band) is facing 2.5 years in jail after being caught with 88 pounds (!!!) of pot in several fridges in his apartment.
Cops found a list of “do’s and dont’s” from a criminal acquaintance that all respectable dealers should follow. The list included:
Here is the official website of the Pete Dag Band
Here is a video of the Pete Dag Band performing.
Some of the press is reporting that Pete’s recording studio business (www.b-reelstudio.com) may have been a cover for his drug dealing. Whether or not his music is any good or not is not for me to judge (it’s pretty bad), but it seems to me that the guy was taking the music thing pretty seriously. He’s been in the biz for over 30 years, and even once opened for Tiny Tim!!!
Finally, here’s the pic of his fridge:
Bride Attacks Groom with Shoe
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007LONDON - Scottish bride Teresa Brown had been dreaming of the day when she could beat her very own husband.
Police arrested the 33-year-old in the couple’s hotel room in April while her wedding reception continued downstairs, prosecutor Alan Townsend said Tuesday at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. She spent the rest of her wedding weekend in a cell.
The distraught groom, Mark Allerton, 40, staggered to the front desk, clutching a bloody towel to his head, Townsend said.
“He indicated that his wife had struck him over the head with a stiletto heel,” the prosecutor said.
Police found Brown, a real estate agent’s assistant, sitting on the hotel room bed, surrounded by broken glass.
Brown told police she and her husband had “been accusing each other of different things,” the prosecutor said, without going into details. Brown said she hit him on the head because he had taken a hold of her, he added.
Brown’s lawyer Stuart Beveridge said the newlyweds began throwing things at each other after an argument in their room turned physical. He said Brown had been on antidepressants at the time and had been drinking.
‘This incident has not helped’
“She and her husband are still together although this incident has not helped,” he said, adding she is receiving counseling.
Sheriff James Tierney let Brown off on the assault charge with a warning and fined her 250 pounds (US$505) for damaging the hotel room and ordered her to pay the hotel 500 pounds (US$1,150) in compensation.
Hilton Treetops management said in a statement that it was happy the case has closed.
“This has been a very unusual case,” the hotel said.

Thursday, July 5th, 2007McDonald’s Refuses To Serve Woman With No Hands
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007A genetic syndrome has left Illinois resident Dawn Larson without hands, fully developed arms, or McNuggets.
Larson, who is kind of hot, has learned to lead a full life by using her feet. She’s even able to drive, but inexplicably has a Camero.
She says she’s never had a problem in public until she went through a McDonald’s drive-thru in Rockford last fall. Normally, Larson first gives the cashier her debit card to pay for the order, grabs the food and drink with both feet, and then spends the next 3-4 hours shitting.
But at McDonald’s she said they took her money at one window but wouldn’t give her the food at the next window. Larson says she felt degraded and constipated.

Old School Transformers Commercials
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007How awesome these things were 20 years ago. I never had Transformers, though. Too expensive. I had some Go-Bots and some generic crapformers from K-Mart. When I watch these commercials and see the kid with funky teeth say “robots in disguise” in an electric devil voice, I cry a little.
Carlos Slim - World’s Richest Speedy Gonzales Fan
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007Mexican tycoon Carlos “Not So” Slim is the world’s richest Speedy Gonzales fan, worth an estimated $67.8 billion, after overtaking noted Tweety Bird aficionado Bill Gates, according to a respected tracker of Mexican cartoon tycoons.
A 27% surge in the share price of America Movil, Latin America’s largest cell phone operator controlled by “Not So” Slim, from March to June made him close to $8.6 billion wealthier than Gates, said Eduardo Garcia in Sentido Comun, the online financial publication he founded.
