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.

Welcome to St. Louis, where you can just find dudes shot dead in the street and no one, not even the police, have any ideas how it happened.
St. Louis police are investigating the death of a man found lying in the street early Saturday morning.
When officers arrived they found Patrick L. Robinson, 30, of the 800 block of Wall Street, lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Oh you wacky morning shows where you leave the studio for the craziness of the hallway. Wait a minute! Birds aren’t supposed to be out here!
Right in the balls. Always funny. Thank God the bird went over that guy though and didn’t decide to tug on anything below the belt on Randi Naughton. That would have just been awkward and then embarrassing in a very weird way for John Pertzborn.

By the start of May, every single County cops will be rocking a Taser. Get ready for a whole lot of great “Don’t Tase Me Bro” videos from the Lou!
A federal grant allowed the Police Department to buy an additional 300 of the devices, which deploy electrically charged barbs that temporarily paralyze a person. In all, about 600 officers will be equipped with the $1,000 Tasers.

The other day while driving though the city, dodging the commercials on the radio we caught a tidbit on 101 ESPN about the Rams. According to Brian Stull, the Rams coach Steve Spangnolo has created the new 2010-2011 season team motto! No one knows what it is yet, and “Stully” can’t wait to find out if it’s better than last year’s: “53 as 1”
If this is the news Stully is waiting for this Rams offseason, we don’t have a lot of faith in the new season. Its pretty clear to us that Coach Spags should be spending his time, well coaching! Creating little gimmicky saying that really don’t mean shit is more our line of work, and if “53 as 1” is all Coach could think of last year, its clear this should be someone else’s job. So we’re chipping in a helping Spags with a few suggestions of our own.

Not sure if she’s new to the whole fat person motorized vehicle thing, but you would think she’d be able to get a little closer to the curb there. Especially since we both know she’s not going to put out any effort when they hand the “food” out to her. Also, there’s a very real danger here that this person slowly escaped from some mental institution in town like a hospital’s psych ward, or the Post Dispatch offices.
[Read More]Here are something little things of note going on around St. Louis that really didn’t deserve a post of their own:
Keith Tkachuk has announced his retirement. …oh you might not know who he is. He played for the Blues. …the Blues are a hockey team. …They play in St. Louis. …It’s the MetroLink stop just west of Busch Stadium. …This is what hockey is.
We have lots of perverts in this town.

Every year professional sporting teams hand out those “Promotional Schedules” to everyone with a free hand as if to say “Thanks for spending all this money on us. Checkout this list of cheap crap we will give you if you spend more money with us on a specific day.”
We thought it would be fun to take a peak at the St. Louis Cardinals promo schedule and break it down for our sexy sexy readers.

Stacy Park is a lovely little neighborhood park over by Olive and Lindbergh in Olivette, MO. We’ve been there and we just say a playground and a baseball diamond. We didn’t even notice the huge cement installation with the words “DANGER KEEP OFF” written on it.
What you don’t believe me? Ask my friend Google Maps. He’ll show you.
So what the hell is going on here? We looked around and these satellite photos don’t appear to be all that old. What the hell did Google take a photo of and use for Stacy Park? …or did we just uncover where they buried the alien landing from a few years back that produced the perma-happy KMOV’s white Al Roker Matt Chambers.

St. Charles County voters voted down not one but two medial marijuana proposals even after Cottleville, MO mayor Don Yarber pushed for the bills because of his own wife’s success with medial marijuana.
Apparently St. Chuck voters think Mrs Yarber is nothing more than a pothead. At least that’s the clear sentiment from one voter interview after leaving the polls by KSDK:
