Happening

Ever get that feeling you’re being watched…while you change your clothes in a public place with drains in the floor and only a shower curtain and wobbly door between you, the Monsoon Marge gift shop and thousands of fat people pretending to be on a concrete beach in the middle of Missouri? Well, you probably are. In the future we’d suggest completely avoiding any naked time at any point of your trip to Six Flags. [Read More]

There’s trouble in midtown these days as in-fighting between the St. Louis University president, Fr. Lawrence Biondi, and the now former dean of the SLU Law School, Annette Clark, became very public yesterday. Credit to NextSTL for digging up the dirt and posting all the letters online. Great scoop! Here’s how this is going to work. We usually don’t cover stuff as fancy as Dean vs Catholic University President fights, but it’s newsworthy all the same, so what we’re going to do is run her resignation letter through the ole Punching Kitty Translatamatron 232273247290300.

Look at 19 year-old Willliam Hampel up there. Seems like a nice lad doesn’t he? Up there smiling with his not-quite Justin Bieber-esque hair cut. Well guess what? Under all that hair, half-smiles and ance breaths the soul of a guy that will not stand for any other sandwich other than the one he ordered! Police say 19-year-old William Hampel placed an order at the Jimmy John’s store in the 1200 block of Strassner drive on July 2nd. [Read More]

Close ups of the label, slow pans from the top to the bottom, long shots of him reaching over to flush and then waiting until it completes before walking over to the next stall to start the process all over again. No words. No edits. Just 2 minutes and 55 seconds of a guy, his camera, and his love for crappers. We present to you **“Bathroom Tour: Ritter Hall St. Louis University American Standard Toilets and Urinal” **in all of it’s weird internet glory: [Read More]

No museum puts you right in the middle of the subject matter like the St. Louis Museum of Transportation! Yesterday, they even had a real life train wreck! It’s all part of their “Summer of Horrible Transportation Stuff” program! An employee at the downtown [sic] transportation museum was injured after being struck by a miniature train on Thursday. Officials said the man was working on the train tracks at the Museum of Transportation in the 2900 block of Barrett Station when he was struck by a train that takes visitors on a tour of the grounds.

A police officer tased a 12 year-old girl in the South County Mall’s Victoria’s Secret after coming in to arrest her mom for multiple unpaid traffic tickets. [Charlene Bratton] had just tried on some shorts and was about to buy them when she says a St. Louis County officer came looking for her. Bratton had warrants, she says, for numerous unresolved traffic tickets. “He said, put your hands behind your back. [Read More]

We interrupt your Monday to bring you Fredbird doing motorcycle stunts at Big St Charles Motorsports over the weekend, because…well…it’s weird. It would have been weird and awesome, but someone took two tries to complete the post-stunt high five.

This is the kind of crazy stuff we get in the Punching Kitty inbox.

That fairly new apartment complex in midtown off of Lindell by Vandeventer were set ablaze last night…again. The same area burnt to the ground a few years back during the construction of the buildings that burnt tonight. This though, the neighboring Arby’s appears to have been saved. KMOX’s Michael Calhoun (@michaelcalhoun) spent his night taking photos and being at the center of what the local Twitter hivemind called “#FireinMidtown” (Eh. It’s a little derivative, but not bad as far as names of stuff goes). [Read More]

No these aren’t shots of a weird scene from The Office where the Erin marries Dwight, this is real. The Office and Bridesmaid star, as well as Missouri native, Ellie Kemper got married last weekend to her dorky looking husband seen above. Thats right guys, we all could have gotten down with that because if that guy can do it you’re chances would have been just as good. Seriously, have you ever seen a head more perfect for a swirlie?

Brad Pitt is from Missouri, and his parents still live in Missouri while he has gone on to be famous and do all kinds of cool stuff including be in tons of awesome movies and Angelina Jolie. But deep down he’s just like you and me because his mom is still embarrassing the crap out of him by writing letters to the local Springfield, MO paper denouncing homosexual lifestyles and abortion.
