I’m not sure how many sleep-over age girls we have as readers, but here’s a tip for them anyway. If every time you ask your Dad “Can I have my friend sleep over tonight?” and he says “Yeah! Totally! Invite some more friends actually! I have plenty of pillows for a fight, and tons of NyQuil laid out downstairs next to the video camera I don’t ever leave on. Oh that light?

By the start of May, every single County cops will be rocking a Taser. Get ready for a whole lot of great “Don’t Tase Me Bro” videos from the Lou!

St. Louis Police Accidentally Catch Thieves and Manage Not to Shoot Any of Them
We loved this little note from the Globe Democrat last night:
St. Louis Metropolitan police said officers may have stopped several suspects from stealing a vehicle at Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Jefferson Avenue Tuesday night.
Hey, well allright! Really nice work. Of course there were apparently “several” people stealing a single car so that had to stand out some way right. I mean if you see 5 people wailing away on a car, you think, as an officer of the law, you might say “Hey, why are you doing that?

A St. Louis Priest Likes Little Girls. No I mean LIKES them. Yeah, I know. Gross.
Its Easter and things are rising all over the place, except for a part of one James Grady, and if we’re lucky, it will be chemically unable to rise ever again.

Missouri and Illinois Have “Un-Fair” Judges
This according to a survey done by some fancy something or other.
Missouri ranked 37th among the 50 states for the perceived fairness of its litigation environment. This is down from its 2008 ranking of 31 as well as from its rank of 34 in 2007.
Illinois came in at No. 45 for the perceived fairness of its litigation environment. It ranked 46th in both 2007 and 2008.
So according to this survey of lawyers Missouri and Illinois judges rank low in “perceived fairness” which is baffling to us as we were pretty sure the way to always be fair was just to cut everything in half.

Dudes in to Kiddie Porn Should Invest in Their Own Computer
If one had plans to look at kiddie porn, you would think the next step in their minds (other than “F*ck me. I’m gross.”) is “Maybe I should invest in my own computer.” Its clear these guys know there is a…lets just say “stigma” against those men with those interests, and one would think that the risk of being arrested, beat up, or even killed might be enough to pay the $300 dollars for some crappy laptop.

Loud Guy is “Scared as Hell” to be Living in St. Louis
St. Louis is #3 on the most dangerous American cities list…again. Old news. We are always on there. We’re like that kid that wears the leather jacket no matter how hot it gets and uses a switch blade comb. We’re bad ass. We know it.
Well, I guess not everyone knows it. (Watch out people at work, this dude is loud!)
At the end of his little tirade, he shows the whole list.
