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.

What better way to kick off your Friday?
You may think you know that Chuck Berry is old, and its true, but no many know how old he really is.
One day I saw Blueberry Hill owner Joe Edwards in a barbershop and I went up to him and said, “Joe, between you and me…how old is Chuck Berry.”
Joe looks at me and says “Hey, Chuck Berry is 137 years old.” 137 years old!

You know what’s great about church youth groups? Um…wait I can think of something…there’s um…crap, there has to be something…oh I know! There’s very little chance of being recorded when you wake up on a group camp-out in your tent and decide to rub a quick one out and have it ended up online.
A Collinsville, IL church youth group leader is facing charges for possessing and…yup…creating child pornography.
Joseph Emil Klug was the leader of the Royal Rangers, a youth group that is for boys of grade school and high school age. The boys go camping and earn pins for various activities. Klug, as an adult leader, took an Indian sounding name, “Young Owl.”

Man politicians are funny! The state needs money and to help Governor Nixon with that number Rep. Mark Parkinson from St. Charles County has threw together a bill that says Nixon should be required to play Powerball in and effort to cover the cost.
The bill, proposed by Rep. Mark Parkinson, R-St. Charles County, would deduct $2 from Nixon’s paycheck twice a month to buy Powerball lottery tickets and place any potential winnings in a fund called “Governor Nixon’s Scratch-off, Match-off Fund.”

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with our state senators?! First they hate on poor defenseless nudie bars, then they try to strong arm the zoo, and now…well they are kicking a man while he’s down.
A Missouri state senator is trying to remove Mark McGwire’sname from a five mile stretch of Interstate 70 that runs through St. Louis. It’s the same lawmaker who pushed for the road to be renamed in honor of McGwire after his 1998 home run fueled season.

Remember way back to yesterday? About those bitches who were talking about cheating on their boyfriend and then that awesome dude got them back like a super badass?
Go check it out. We’ll wait.
Have you ever seen a dog happier than this? Oh, your back. Lets continue.
Well we have an update to that story, once again, courtesy of Reddit.
Hey, How’s it going? I wanted to thank you for your craigslist post. I’m not Kris, my name is Ed. I don’t know if your story involved me or not, but it sure got things done, in my life.

Remember forever ago when a script for those sissy vampire movies “New Moon” and whatever the next one is was found in a Loop dumpster behind some salon? Well, that happened. Trust me. The next part is that the salon owner found it and did the nice thing by giving it back to the studio. The studio was so happy it gave her tickets to both movie premieres, and the salon owner was so greatful that she went to one that then decided to sell the other ticket on e-bay. The studio was all like “nu-uh bitch!” and made her pull the auction down and then she tried to sell them privately, but the studio again put the smack down on the sale with an ultimatum. The owner, St. Louisian Casey Ray, says she has every right to sell the tickets and is now suing the studio.
We are hearing from our friends at STLMedia.net that Punching Kitty super-fan, as well as 550 talk show host and Fox2 reporter Charles Jaco might have some files charged against him. No details other than that yet.
We do however have proof that Chuck ain’t one for the comebacks. STLMedia via SharpElbows.net posted a recent video recorded by someone at a Tea Party rally trying to get a rise out of Jaco.
[Read More]A story about two horrible people and one guy that got them back is making the rounds and it all took place in St. Louis.
A young, college aged woman sits down by herself and orders a Bud Light at the two-top next to us.
Shortly after, her slightly older female friend joins her.
They begin loudly discussing the fact that the young lady JUST has cheated on her boyfriend at a party. The discussion is filled with information about the sexiness of it all, the temptation, and the desire to do it again and not be caught.
