Punching Kitty was a writing project for the city of St. Louis to have a little fun and try to get everyone to stop taking themselves so seriously…and hopefully highlight some critical issues along the way. Not everyone liked it (it turns out people don’t love being made fun of) but we converted a lot of people and I take pride that the site was truly well read. From the local media, to area police departments, Punching Kitty truly became a source for news and entertainment for St. Louis.
We had a lot of fun, but all good things need an ending and ours was on March 13th, 2013. When we closed up shop the news made local radio, TV, and even the front page of STLToday (The St. Louis Post Dispatch’s website) where we were the top story over a new pope being named. Wild stuff.
While we will no longer actively write, the site will stay up as an archive for St. Louis.

In the midst of a crack down on crime, criminals rolled up to Wellston city hall and fired several shots in to the front of the building in broad daylight, between 8a and 9a yesterday morning.
Fortunately, no one was home when the shots rang out, and the damage was limited to shot up windows and some holes in a metal frame, right next to the sign that says firearms are prohibited on the premises.

Seriously. What the hell is going on here? Jesus? Magic? Seizure?
Our guess? Someone’s trying to convince her to have her photo taken for the Post Dispatch. Should have just said yes and smiled nice, because guess what? Now you are on the front page of their website looking stupid.

MSN recently named our very own Carl’s Drive-in one of America’s best burger joints:
Wash down a top-notch hamburger with a frosty mug of root beer brewed by owner Frank Cunetto. The secret to a great burger is getting it from the grill to the customer as fast as possible, says Cunetto, who’s spent 20-plus years slinging meaty rounds for the cherished few seats at his counter.
The menu’s short and includes fries, onion rings and made-by-hand milkshakes with an almost sippable consistency. Crisp-edged burgers are flat-grilled, with the double possessing the best meat-to-bun ratio.

Here are some links for things going on today you might be interested. Picked just for you, because we like you so much. Is that a new shirt? Looks great. Have you been working out? …oh. Just the shirt then? Still looking good though!
Despite what you may have heard from Google (see below) John Goodman, native St. Louisan, isn’t dead. He’s just a hell of a lot skinnier than he was.
Bam:
What is more shocking than Goodman in the tux, is what a disgusting blob he was. Sure, he’s always been a big boy, but my god. Freaking gross man. How does one even begin to know how to clean effectively under a bitch tit? Lie on your back and dive in I guess…pretty much on your own too because we’re pretty sure old Goodman there on the left is taller than us while lying on his back. A lot of people say that being fat isn’t hurting anyone so leave them alone, but say that again face to face with that belt buckle holding on for dear life. That thing is about one Suzy Q away from taking out someone’s eye.
[Read More]Maybe we just over-complicate things. Maybe we just gave people from Illinois too much credit. We don’t know…
We just never thought that knocking on people’s doors and saying “Hi, can you give me some money? … Why? I don’t know something about my car I guess…Can you just give it to me now? … Thanks!” would work. It does apparently. Just follow the people that can’t drive across the river and ask all the slightly more poor people over there.

Congratulations to that 15 year old kid with the wispy mustache (probably) who got his PE teacher at Trinity High School in Maryland Heights to bang him.
The St. Louis County Prosecutor’s Office charged Kellie Ryan of Maryland Heights with one count of second-degree statutory rape and two counts of statutory sodomy. Ryan, 26, is a physical education teacher at Trinity High School. She’s accused of sleeping with a 15-year-old student.

Oh man, we are so going to win the 2006 World Series again!
Jeff Suppan is coming back to the St. Louis Cardinals.
He will be joining the team in Phoenix and hopes to be active early next week.
Oh yeah, Jeff Suppan, we remember him. The guy that Fox Sports Midwest dated exclusively for the three years he was here last. Every stupid little piece before the games was either about Jeff Suppan or included Jeff Suppan as we followed him go do something hilarious, like doing a regular person’s job. Oh man, you’re a pitcher, you shouldn’t be working at Target! Hilarious!

Ok…there’s no reason we can’t all walk away from this. Click on an ad? Sure. Whatever you want…um which one? Uh…we mean we don’t see them because they are so unobtrusive and not at all annoying when they roll over what I’m trying to read and can’t go back up. Look, if you want to keep paying Jeff Gordon to do who knows what, that’s fine. It has nothing to do with us…lets just not take this to a point where you can’t turn back man. Was it the racists in your forums that drove you to this point where you are pulling a piece on your web readers? We’re just trying to understand. “Site on site” crime really has to stop! Jesus, just one time cite a blogger as a source when they beat you to the punch!
KSDK is reporting both on their site and on the air that a Jefferson County man outsmarted his home intruder. The guy got away, so I guess this is kinda true…but, we think the word “outsmarted” might be overstating things a little. Judge for yourself.
One of [the] victims they say thought fast to protect his home and future wife.
When 26 year old Nick Barr got up for a drink of water just before 1 a.m. Tuesday, he flipped on the light and saw a stranger in his home holding a rifle.
