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.

You know that creepy cafeteria worker at your kids school and seems to look a little too long while shoveling the creamed corn? …I mean he’s weird, but its a school…they don’t actually hire people that would…you know…nothing to worry about.
Oh wait. Your kid doesn’t go to the Kirkwood School District do they?
Ok, then go ahead and worry. They hire molesters there.
Think about that everyone that hasn’t molested a kid and can’t find a job!
[Read More]We didn’t care one bit about the news a few weeks back that sports talk host Tim McKernan, in conjunction with InsideSTL.com, was buying the first half of the day on the stumpy-towered 1380 AM, but we have to say, the usually funny Morning After show on 1380 has tanked recently. The new focus on interviewing broads for another show has taken the time that was usually filled with actual talk about sports.

After a year filled with layoffs, more layoffs and finally laying off that guy that everyone thought was totally going to be the first one to get canned but somehow making it until the third round, the GM plant in Wentzville, MO rolled out the 2 Millionth “full sized van” yesterday marking another time in history that no one will care about ever.
A week ago we posted a little something about a woman getting attacked in a bathroom at UMSL’s north city campus.
Yeah, we hear North St. Louis is a “very safe” part of town in general if you disregard all the murders and muggings.
But wait! Were we wrong with our flippant remarks about north city and UMSL? Maybe. We had someone contact us about the matter!
Here’s what they said:
[Read More]Kawika Mitchell plays for the Bills and when he heard that everyone’s favorite ex-Rams offensive linemen Richie Incognito signed with his team, he took to his Twitter account to tell the world about how happy he was to play with the man voted the “Dirtiest Player in the NFL”
He later recanted, because he basically had to after his team PR team crawled up his big ass.
For all the awesome things the internet does, one of its greatest powers is always overlooked. “What is this power?” you ask so this article will flow the way I want it to… Well catching people committing crimes when they post a video of them doing it on YouTube like freaking morons!
Kyle O’Brien didn’t know anything had happened to his 2004 Dodge until he saw his car being abused on FOX 2 Tuesday night, “I’m not freaking out about it, but it isn’t that funny,” says OBrien. “I would just think a valet service at a nice hotel would have to have more responsibility.”

Heard this from a reliable source close to the arresting officer that ended Cardinal 3rd baseman David Freese’s mobile kegger last weekend:
When Freese was stopped he pulled the “Do you know who I am?!” routine!
Seriously.
Here’s a note to all you “St. Louis Celebs,” when your ass is in the fryer, and you ask “Do you know who I am!?” its a douche move even if you are Albert Pujols, but its a whole crazy new level of douche to do it when you are basically a minor league third baseman that has had a cup of coffee in the bigs and his only real skill of power seemingly evaporate like that little bit of foam left in a keg cup.
[Read More]We love it!
Rams running back Steven Jackson tweeted out his love for “Ernest Saves Christmas” while hanging out at teammate Mike Karney’s house last night:
According to the Globe-Democrat, some guy in South St. Louis got his home invaded twice and shot once. Also I heard his Tivo didn’t tape So You Think You Can Dance, so you can imagine how horrible his life is now.
St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a report of a home invasion and shooting around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning. Investigators said five men attempted a home invasion at a residence in the 2200 block of Osage Street. A man inside the home, not the homeowner, said he was sleeping and awoke when someone opened his bedroom door and as five or six black males began shooting at him.

Yesterday afternoon, ole “Coach Spags” of our St. Louis Rams finally found what we all were hoping he would some day: His balls.
Finally after costing us a tons of penalty yards and being a general douche for pretty much the whole time he was here, the Rams cut Richie Incognito.
Let him have it Coach! Tell this punk he’s outa here!
