 Posted on August 28, 2009  |  The Editor

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. [Read More]

Police to Protestors: “I’m sorry. Here’s some money.”

 Posted on August 26, 2009  |  The Editor

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.

Another Proud Day for Missouri: Dude Bites Another Dude’s Earlobe Off.

 Posted on August 21, 2009  |  The Editor

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.

Update: McDonald’s is Not to be Messed With

 Posted on August 19, 2009  |  The Editor

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. [Read More]

 Posted on August 18, 2009  |  The Editor

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 man left, but returned a short time later with a gun and shot the woman as she stood outside the restaurant. [Read More]

McDonalds is Not to be Messed With

 Posted on August 13, 2009  |  The Editor

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.
