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.

Yes.
We redesigned! A little facelift for our second year in business, but more importantly a major backend overhaul that should allow us to keep things fresh and interesting for your lookin’ balls which you will see as we go along.
So…what do you think? …I mean not that we care or anything…but well…we’ve always had a crush on you.
Oh Craigslist, just when I think I’ve heard of every way two people can hook up, you give me this…
Pigs Feet! – m4w – 34 (Richmond Heights)
You pointed out where the Pigs Feet were. I would like to continue the conversation.
This was filed under missed connections, but I can’t tell if he wants to lear more about this attractive pigs feet eating lady, or he had a pig foot follow up question that to this day has gone unanswered.
[Read More]On Monday the Reliance Bank off of Olive in St. Louis County. Here’s a shot of the action:
The cops believe that the suspect is a man in his 50s wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a dark jacket. But thats probably because they have a freaking picture of an older guy in the bank holding a gun wearing a cap, sunglasses and a dark jacket. Nice work. The suspect is either him or the lady in pink, but she doesn’t seem to be all that in to the money and she’s not holding a gun.

I feel like we let you down. We were right on top of Matt Holliday’s wife, but we missed new Cardinal starting pitcher Brad Penny’s sexier half!
Luckily Cardinals Diaspora has it covered.
Wait, Brad Penny? The Pitcher?
I did a double take too, friends. But it’s true. And lucky for us he decided to take his babe to Turks & Caicos last week and have her play catch.

With the January Thaw underway, we got out of the Punching Kitty HQ and headed down to Cicero’s on Friday night. We left with Delirium Tremens in our belly and one of those “what the hell is wrong with your speakers” headaches, but it wasn’t the bands fault.
On the bill were Cheers, Bobby and OPTION//CONTROL, two local groups with completely different sounds (Well, they both involved static, but like we said, not their fault.)

The state of Missouri is playing the role of John Wilkes Booth and is out gunning for the President’s Casino. The goal is to get the casino to close its doors by as early as July.
“[President Casino] has continued to operate the President at an unacceptable level through a deliberate minimization of offerings with a resulting decline in performance,” Gene McNary, executive director of the Missouri Gaming Commission, wrote in a letter last week to John Giovenco, interim chief executive of Las Vegas-based Pinnacle. “We … are no longer able to allow the licensure of an obsolete and underachieving gaming facility in the State of Missouri.”

“Dancing Danny” used to hang out in teen clubs dancing it up all night. Now most would think a middle-aged man dancing the night away in a club for teens is perfectly normal and not molesterly at all, but wouldn’t you know it that Danny had to ruin it for the rest of them by going ahead and cupping a few of them.
In 1997, Danny Ray Schwab was convicted of molesting 22 young boys and sentenced to 40 years in prison. His sentence was reduced about five years ago, because of what the St. Clair County State’s Attorney calls a “legislative error.” Now, Schwab could be out of prison as early as February 28, 2010.

And the kid went to a city school!
Nah, I’m just kidding.
“I thought I did well, but I didn’t think I could do that,”
Lafayette High School Senior Zach Frazer scored a perfect 36 on his ACT an achievement equaled by only 28 other students. …28 lonely lonely other students.
Frazer offered the following advice to students preparing for an upcoming test. “Stay focused, relax and don’t worry while taking the test.”

What do you do when you product now seems old and the kids these days with their iPods and internets don’t respond to your marketing? Make it extreme!
In this case, that means add a word that still technically means the same thing as eat but sounds awesome because generally its about cars.
Wheaties Fuel!
…oh and add Pujols to the box.
If you are from Eureka, consider yourself lucky, the chances of you needing to stay in your local Days Inn is pretty slim. Feel bad though for the family that comes in to town to visit Six Flags and say “Hey, a Days Inn, those are usually pretty nice.”
Not this one.
The Eureka Day’s Inn isn’t just bad though, its been voted the second dirtiest hotel in the country! The second worst in the country! Think about that. Think about all the nasty freaking hotels there have to be out there…all but one are better than the Day’s Inn in Eureka.
