Good news for those of us over the age of 21! You can drink, and you are still free to text message your friends while driving and potentially threaten the lives of everyone else on the road around you!
Motorists 21 or younger in Missouri will be prohibited from text messaging while driving starting on Friday, when a new law takes effect. The state will join 22 others in having some sort of prohibition on texting from behind the wheel.

In 2003 the St. Louis police department raided the homes of several potential protestors of the World Agriculture Forum held in St. Louis that year. After six years worth of lawsuit, the hippies got the cops to settle and, like all bad little boys that do illegal searches do, write an apology letter:
The department sincerely regrets the grievances of plaintiffs arising from the department’s response to the May 2003 World Agriculture Forum including the extended detentions or damages of personal property of the plaintiffs. Infringement of civil liberties of the citizenry was not warranted by what may have transpired at protests in other cities. The department recognizes and values the importance of civil discourse

A St. Louis area police officer pulled over a BMW for speeding the other day and when inspecting the car they found:
$54,200 bones.
Eight prepaid cell phones.
Several ID cards.
Six dozen Western Union reciepts.
17 midgets.
The driver claimed to have been working for an organization that had him buy a prepaid phone to get secret text message instructions on how and where to get cash to send out. Sadly he won’t tell the authorities where the money or the instructions came from, but I think we both know it was some kinda of awesome sounding group like “Red Claw” or “The Anarchy League” that has a secret island lair that the paid an ass-load of money to make look like a skull.

Tell me if you’ve heard this one: Two southeast Missouri guys are fighting over a girl. [Editor’s Note: I’m going to guess the girl’s name is Cheyenne, and prefers half-shirts.] At one point one of guys whips out a knife, but they managed to remove him from the house. Undeterred, the Knife Guy starts banging loudly on the windows which prompts Other Guy to come out and they begin to get in an old fashion brawl which ends with Knife Guy biting the freaking earlobe off Other Guy.
During a flight from Oakland, CA to St. Louis a man got a little frisky and decided to pull out his junk and show it to lady on the flight.
From Fox2Now.com (emphasis mine):
A Southwest Airlines flight headed to St. Louis was forced to make an emergency landing after a man stripped naked in mid-flight. Flight 947 originated in Oakland, California. About half an hour after take off, the airline says a man exposed himself to a female passenger, then hit her when she screamed.

Last Thursday we ran a story (with accompanying video) about a guy that refused to pull forward at the drive through and wait for his grub and thus demanded a refund. Things didn’t go well after that:
After waiting ten minutes I knocked on the drive-thru window and asked for the food or money back. No response. I pulled out of drive-thru, parked my car and entered McDonalds. I patiently waited at the front counter. After 2 minutes the manager addressed me, saying they would not serve the food or provide a refund and to talk to the police outside.

Ugly white middle-aged mom’s with basic knowledge of the internet never learn…
A St. Peters woman sought to humiliate a St. Charles County teenager by posting the girl’s picture and cell phone number in a sexually suggestive online forum on Craigslist, prosecutors said Monday.
Elizabeth A. Thrasher, 40, is accused of posting the listing after an online confrontation with the 17-year-old daughter of a woman Thrasher’s ex-husband was dating.
Shane Anthony reporting for the Post Dispatch’s on first case siting the “Megan Meier” law, which as you might remember because it was F-ing everywhere, came from the last ugly, white, middle-aged mom with a basic understanding of the internet that made a fake account to mess with a already depressed high school girl who then committed suicide when the fake boy turned on her.

You go in and site down on at the disgusting Eat-Rite counter in Downtown St. Louis and you amazingly survive the food, only to have someone shoot you when you leave.
Police say the woman, 30, got into an argument with a man inside The Eat-Rite Diner at Chouteau Avenue and 7th Street around 5:30 a.m. Sunday. Police say the man left, but returned a short time later with a gun and shot the woman as she stood outside the restaurant.

File this under weird. We were recently sent a link to an experience with one local guy and a local McDonalds. [Editor’s Note: Thanks to our tipster! You know who you are…]
I would try to explain this, but its best I don’t. I’ll let the email he sent to McDonalds do the explaining:
I went through drive-thru and ordered one double-quarter pounder meal. When I got to the drive thru window I was asked to move forward. Having problems with McDonald’s in the past taking a long time to make food if I pulled forward I told them no, I did not want to move forward, I will wait here for my hamburger and fries. They continued to knock on my window for about a minute until a manager, Marie, walked out of the McDonald’s, approached the car and knocked on my window. I told her I would like to just wait for my food here and to please go make it so I could leave. She knocked several more times before she went inside. Another McDonald’s employee came outside and directed cars in drive-thru to leave McDonald’s and exit the parking lot. After waiting several minutes I rolled down my window and asked if the food was done. My reply was the middle finger from one of the employees and comments of “he must be crazy”. They then locked the drive-thru window. After waiting ten minutes I knocked on the drive-thru window and asked for the food or money back. No response. I pulled out of drive-thru, parked my car and entered McDonalds. I patiently waited at the front counter. After 2 minutes the manager addressed me, saying they would not serve the food or provide a refund and to talk to the police outside. I went outside and spoke with the police and told them what I have written here. The manager came out too. The police told the manager to go get my food. The manager did so and the police said I could leave.
