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.

Found on the Loop: A tree with these little lovely knitted sleeves.
They look toasty, and the vertical stripes give the tree that sought-after slimming look.

Subject: RE: Rush Limbaugh and the Rams
If he wants to buy to Rams with his money, who cares?
If you don’t like him, guess what? Doesn’t matter.
If you think he’s awesome…guess what? Doesn’t matter.
He’ll be a freaking minority owner, so really, calm the hell down.
That ownership team doesn’t have a chance as it stands right now anyway.
Please stop.
Also, I hear they kicked him out anyway.

Of course you want your wedding day to be perfect, but guess what? Not gonna happen. Everyone has something weird or crappy happen. Admittedly, some are worse off than others, but its always something.
For instance our first whirlwind marriage with super model Heidi Klum (Don’t ask her about. She’ll pretend like she won’t know what you are talking about.) was totally ruined when I was arrested outside her, I mean our, bathroom window for just standing there with a locket of my future wife’s hair and all those photos of us…well they are just of her, but someone has to take the photo, with the telephoto lens, from my van. Anyway…

That is what is standing in on KMOX.com. People are talking about it (shockingly) I’ll give them that, but to us this looks like the site was supposed to be up by now, so they put a splash screen up to buy some time.
No, it has nothing to do with the actual on-air station product. Its just a website relaunch.
[Read More]On my way to work to day, I saw not one but two protests! I mean these things weren’t exactly Malcolm X worthy, but protests all the same!
First we have the “Pro Lifers” outside of the Planned Parenthood on Forest Park Parkway in Midtown.
Way to go lady. You really changed the minds of the groggy drivers going to work and the throngs of sluts heading to Planned Parenthood at 8:30 in the morning on a Tuesday. I’ve seen these guys out there all the time and frankly my #1 problem with them is that it seems their convictions stop when its raining. They are kicking ass and taking names with those crusty fetus posters when the sun is out, but when they wake up to a little rain they say “Eh. Its more grown up sperm than a baby really. I can take a day off.”
[Read More]We hear a certain website popular with the internet hipsters, iPhone-orati, and local gossip bloggers among us is finally making the move to St. Louis.
This move as been particularly gained steam in recent months as some of us have felt a little left out and begged expressed interest via Twitter and at least two prominent blogs.
The official announcement could come as soon as later this week! We also here that some of the “chosen” are already getting beta access to the service.

Found in the Missed Connections section of Craigslist: St. Louis
Dear Men of Saint Louis,
My existence on the same public sidewalk as you does not mean you are entitled to talk to me.
Do you need the time? I can do that. Do you need vague, inarticulate directions? I can definitely help. But, unless you are vaguely in my age range and honestly think that if we one day made babies they would be happy, healthy, and not dragged down to some mean attractiveness, you absolutely do not need my phone number. You do not need to tell me I’m pretty. You do not need to explain to me that you got out of that cop car on the corner because you need to arrest me for “looking so sexy.” You do not need to lie to me about some fictitious wife who is unable to satisfy your foot fetish needs, and you certainly do not need to touch MY feet.

Steiner Sports Marketing think so and they Yadi’s little memory slip means he should pay them about $175,000. Which would be the $90,660 that they paid the Cardinals catcher to do the session and then another $84,340 for whatever.
Would our big eared Yadi skip out on an event he was already paid to do? Who knows, but we think a lawsuit like this is probably initiated because they have some pretty solid evidence.
[Read More][Editor’s Note: One more sports post today. Sorry non-sports fans, but I think at least this one will be entertaining to all of us that like to laugh at the stupid things people put on YouTube.]
Dammit Obama Girl and YouTube. Now every somewhat famous face gets its own “girl.” Don’t believe me? Even Cardinals center fielder Colby Rasmus has one apparently.
…oh and this one’s not super talented with the singing or the dancing. But hey, a crazy fan is a crazy fan right Colby?
