Too Stupid for Words category archive

Is it just me, or is the silly season starting early this year?

Elizabeth Ann Harrison, 54, of Spring View Court was charged with third-degree assault and battery. She was placed in the Rock Hill city jail and released Thursday on a personal recognizance bond.

Harrison and another woman on Wednesday got into an argument at Restore Our Community over an upcoming fashion show the clients were preparing for, according to a police report. An employee told police she saw the two women arguing about “who was going to wear a particular dress in the show.”

Too many cameras at too many events in the hands of too many narcissistic prima donnas leads to no good.

A physical altercation between adults disrupted a promotion ceremony for hundreds of T.R. Smedberg Middle School eighth-graders at the Sheldon High School stadium Friday morning, triggering calls to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, authorities said. . . .

Officers responding to the episode reported that the fight started when words were exchanged over one of the men blocking others by taking a photograph.

“Physical altercation,” indeed.

Afterthought:

Graduation ceremonies from middle school are silly and stupid.

Second Son had a graduation ceremony from pre-school to kindergarten. That was also silly and stupid.

Watch out for that tree!

Via Atrios.

Fantastically racist twits.

Aside:

Complaining that a movie is not “true to the comic”; bet they didn’t complain about Noah, which was not true to anything.

These folks need to stop trying to make Big Bang Theory reruns come alive and get a life.

From the stuff you can’t make up department: In Florida, some lawyers have got their briefs all in a twist.

You can’t make this stuff up twits.

As the Emperor Augustine is reputed to have said when presented with something too stupid for words, “Words fail me. Nothing I can say can express the depths of my feelings on this matter.”

As Frank Zappa said, “Plastic People, you’re such a drag.”

Status Update: Nabbed.

My ex was a nurse. Whenever she was a patient and had to wear a hospital gown, she would always grab two and wear one frontwards, the other backwards.

This summer, Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park will join a select group of medical centers that are trying to close the dreaded gluteal gap patients get with most hospital gowns.

Beyond complaints about flimsy materials and faded colors, patients in focus groups have told the hospital they feel exposed with current gowns — in ways that promote an unnecessarily hierarchical relationship with caregivers.

For some fool reason (as my mother would have said), they need a study to confirm that persons don’t like walking around with their rear ends hanging out on public display.

“Pedantic” has negative connotations for a reason.

Your security farces at work:

Guess what superhero-like weapons TSA agents confiscated from a passenger’s carry-on bag at Charlotte Douglas International Airport this week?

Three batarangs, those roughly bat-shaped throwing weapons used by Batman.

You’ve been served.

It’s not the beer; it’s the brotherhood.

In a terrible miscalculation, a Louisiana State University fraternity entrusted four underage members to transport its massive beer and booze cache from Baton Rouge to sunny Gulf Shores, Alabama, where the collegians this week are celebrating spring break.

They got pulled over for expired tags and their fortunes went downhill from there.

Follow the link for the inventory of their cargo. I’ve been to bars that keep less stock on hand.

(On second thought, it’s the beer.)
