Too Stupid for Words category archive

A fifth grader who brought marijuana to his school in an effort to stop his dad from smoking could be expelled from school.

(snip)

Klink said the student told officers he found marijuana in his dad’s truck and took it to school with him to show his teacher he wanted his dad to stop using it.

Grown-ups are stupid.

Really, just mindless arrogance.

Television is a vast wasteland, and it’s just getting vasterior (that’s “vast” + “posterior,” if you must know).

Republicans, always classy.

I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Having been a boater, I am failed by words at this.

Daniel McBride, 39, was operating his 36-foot Concept vessel — powered by three 300 horsepower engines — around 10:30 p.m. Monday when he missed South Sound Creek in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park waters, crossed Airport Flat and went up on the mangrove island just south of South Sound Creek.

Dube said alcohol is not suspected as a factor in the crash. Rather, McBride had his GPS setting too wide for the area and had the incorrect background lighting selected.

Afterthought:

He. Missed. The. Creek.

Really.

Spoiled brat tween idol twits.

Who cares?

Bills supporting tougher texting-while-driving penalties continue to advance in the General Assembly.

Legislation cleared the Senate Courts of Justice Committee on Monday. It would make texting or emailing while operating a vehicle a reckless offense in certain instances, give police more latitude to stop suspected offenders and impose fines of up to $500.

A similar measure is pending in the House of Delegates.

As I was driving home from my brother’s yesterday, I kept half a weather-eye on a driver behind me.

I finally figured out what she was doing.

In her right hand, she held her iJunk and the steering wheel.

In her left hand, she was pecking at the iJunk.

For about five miles.

All this at 55 MPHs.

I was most relieved when she turned right and aimed at someone else.

I wonder if he can claim Obama derangement syndrome in his defense?

(Not that I’m condoning the action of the other driver, mind you.)

The trial of Bubba the Love Sponge gets even more bizarre.

Words fail me.

Afterthought:

A better title might have been, “Suck on This.”

Apparently, he thought this was funny. Others were not amused.

A high school student is facing an identity theft charge for allegedly opening a Twitter account in the name of the director of a Tennessee county’s public school system, cops report.

And, in other news of the twits . . .

This is stupid. And predatory.

Two New Jersey men sued Subway this week, claiming the world’s biggest fast-food chain has been shorting them by selling so-called footlong sandwiches that measure a bit less than 12 inches.

The suit, filed Tuesday in Superior Court in Mount Holly, may be the first legal filing aimed at the sandwich shops after an embarrassment went viral last week when someone posted a photo of a footlong and a ruler on the company’s Facebook page to show that the sandwich was not as long as advertised.

It’s like suing Hertz because they don’t levitate you into the driver’s seat.

In other news of the predatory, but not Facebook-related and not quite as stupid, there’s this. . . . .

How can you sue for defamation of character when, by all indications, you don’t have any?

Aside:

These are the folks who couldn’t make the cut for Fox.

Some of whom will, no doubt, shortly be meeting strong, silent folks in dark suits.

A girl was standing in a parking space to hold it for a friend (in my view, a violation of the rules of parking war).

Someone else wanted it. Assault ensued.

In the report Cornett claimed she told the teen to move and as she pulled into the space, the teen “leaned against her vehicle and started to yell, ‘She hit me.’” In the report, Cornett’s daughter corroborated her mother’s story, according to Channel 2.

But when deputies examined the Walmart security camera video, they told Channel 2 it showed “the SUV stops as (the teen) stands in the parking space and suddenly accelerates. (The teen) is struck by the vehicle, and she is physically moved by the force of the vehicle.”

A price of not waking an extra hundred yards: a trip to the pokey.

(The girl was not seriously hurt.)

From El Reg:

A top divorce lawyer has warned that adulterous couples are increasingly getting caught out over text messages and other electronic communication sent during the Christmas period.

“It is really very sad,” Ayesha Vardag, dubbed Britain’s top divorce lawyer by the Law Society, told The Telegraph.

“We find a lot is that there are a lot of text message ‘bustings’ on Christmas Day, usually because the husband leaves the phone around and the mistress is sending messages. It is amazing how many times that is what catches people out.”
