Police closed Washington Avenue downtown yesterday between 10th and 11th because someone reported “suspicious” canisters under a park bench. “Suspicious” is just what you say though after the bomb squad has already been called. They just looked like cans otherwise (right).
Police took x-rays of the canisters and said it looked like the contents might be concrete samples. More testing will be done elsewhere to make sure the canisters posed no threat.

Get ready recently widowed women who’s husbands were in the business of something we don’t like! You are one boring Saturday with us having posterboard and markers laying around from us getting in your face! Missouri has re-legalized funeral protests.
U.S. District Judge Fernando Gaitan ruled the laws violate the right of free speech guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
Gaitan concluded Missouri officials did not demonstrate the protest restrictions served a significant government interest nor that they had been narrowly tailored to prevent the harm of interruptions of funeral services. The judge wrote he was sympathetic to the argument people attending a funeral deserve some protection but noted a federal appeals court already had previously rejected that argument.

It was almost a year ago when we noticed that some broad from one of those “We’re teenagers so every little stupid thing in my life is super important and sad” shows is from St. Louis, see: Some Piece From Gossip Girl is From St. Louis
Her name is Taylor Momsen and we revisit her again today because this chick is a freak yo! Maybe that’s why, in a city that pokes every little celeb from here with their boner (Oh Sheryl Crow! *poke* John Goodman! *poke* Ike Turner *poke*…ok, maybe not that last one.) it never seems to make much of a fuss over her.
Here are a few quotes from St. Louis’ little forgotten princess:
“I’m not looking to be Miley fucking Cyrus. I don’t care about the fame. I do it because I love music. I like making records and if people like them, then we’ll go along for the ride. I’m not dissing Miley personally. However, I do think the **Disney bubblegum **shit that the world is living right now is pathetic. I thought we passed that repression. I don’t know Miley, but musically we’re different. To compare us because of our age is silly. People will be surprised by the record. I mean, it’s a rock record. I get that there is this blonde thing from Gossip Girl and they’re expecting pop shit, but it’s a rock band and its heavy. Our record is a life record. It confronts everything head on. It’s death, love, drugs, sex, religion, politics.”
That was her living for the music and not the fame, and talking to FHM UK. What a little Courtney Love!
Taylor has also confessed her best friend is her “pocket rocket” because she is bored with men. She’s 17 right now. This was a year ago. Then she later “clarified” her vibrator comment via a tweet to Perez Hilton: “its a vibrator not a dildo..big difference.”
Most recently, Taylor revealed that a track on her new album Going Down was in reference as to the goings on of the Catholic Church molestation scandals. She went on to say:
I was raised Catholic. I fucked a priest once – I’m just kidding.
Wow. That’s…that’s…she wouldn’t want a job writing for Punching Kitty would she? Call us!

…no not that one. Though at one point we heard a clown was involved, but that proved to be false, meaning we needed a funny crash to lighten up the driving mood. Thank god that Metro Bus driver had a diabetic reaction and drove her bus in to a tree!
It happened around 8:00 a.m. at the intersection of Elm and Lockwood in Webster Groves, Missouri.
The driver was not injured and the bus was empty at the time of the crash.

A bill is working its way through St. Charles County’s political system that would ban bicycles traffic on streets such as Highway D, DD, F, Z, and 94. Maybe the move here would be to spend some time renaming these dumb-ass highways…except for Highway Double-D, that one can stay. Boobs.
Among speakers supporting Brazil’s bill at the July 12 meeting was Stephen East of Cottleville, whose 16-year-old daughter was seriously injured in a 2003 accident on DD, when the vehicle she was driving topped a hill and encountered a bicyclist in her lane. East said she swerved, ran off the road, hit a tree and was thrown from the car.

A Joplin, MO girl was tossing around a washing machine for 12 full minutes before her mother and the laundromat staff could get her out.
Authorities said Chloe Crow and her sister tried to use a washing machine at a laundromat, but after putting their money in, the machine didn’t work. Chloe climbed inside the machine, thinking it was broken.
…yup, that’s the move. Please remember to tell this girl that this is an appropriate way to check if things are working. If the oven isn’t getting warm, climbing in isn’t your best option. Also sometimes crocodiles will sit still with their mouth open, don’t climb in there because they look like they aren’t working.
