Slime of the Century



A 100-year-old pedophile? Yuk! I imagine when they sent him to prison nine years ago they figured that was the end of it. What they should do with this guy if he violates his parole, is lock him in a room full of mirrors. Leave him naked, and let him wake up having to look at that every day!

Somebody's Getting Paid By the Letter...


Snapped this photo a while back following a pickup pulling a small trailer bearing this Maine license plate. Just what is semi-permanent? Is that what most of us would call temporary?

Ten Commandments... 21st century Style



I wonder what some of the other Ten Commandments might look like if they were re-worded by the same person who made this simple plea outside of their wrecking yard in Bliss, N.Y....



#2 "Hey, do you eat with that mouth?"
#4 "Lighten up; your mother and father aren't as dumb as they look!"
#9 & #10 "Quit coveting my stuff, douche bag."

On the Road...


As if it's not bad enough following one of these slow-moving dump trucks, the other day I was behind one which turned down my street. Then I had to take the long way home!

From the Headlines Dept.


It was especially good to read that the woman paid back the money she stole from the Buffalo Bills.
Rumor has it that's the exact amount owner Ralph Wilson has in mind to pay a new head coach. Let the search begin!

(Church) Signs of the Times Dept.


Perhaps they'd like a crack at running General Motors.

What's in a name?


The first thought that came to my mind when I saw this sign was "I wonder what the bathrooms look like!"

Luckily this Youth Camp, just north of the Village of Cassadaga in Chautauqua County New York, was named after someone (Robert Gross, an industrialist and Banker in Dunkirk, New York. Gross donated part of the land for the camp back in 1929).
