Here’s to you handicapped, semi-homeless guy outside Busch Stadium! No, there isn’t anyone within a mile off you, but there you are, wheelchair brake applied, cup sticking out. Who’s going to put money in there? I have no idea and neither do you, but screw that! Who needs common sense?! Sure you could just bring the cup in a put it in your lap since no one is on either horizon, but thats how cheaters beg as fas as you’re concerned! Maybe flip the cup over and bang on it for a little entertainment, or maybe throw the cup on your stump, see if it fits…no, those childish games aren’t for you! Leave the cup right where it is…people will come, its only the 7th inning!
PUNCHING KITTY: 2009 - 2013
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 Are You Up to Craig Cornett?
After being kind of let go and then officially leaving St. Louis’ #2 country music station 93.7 The Bull, the former morning show host Craig Cornett has taken to Facebook to post photos and leave mysterious messages.
Early last Saturday morning Craig posted this to his wall:
I wish I could tell you all exactly what is going on… Let’s just say I shall return! mark your calendar and watch this page for a BIG announcement on: Feb 23, 2010! (That doesn’t mean you won’t hear from me sooner.) Just remember that date!!! You’re going to love it!

[Read More]Auto-tuned Kitties
In case you thought the internet had found every way possible to film a cat, I present to you Auto-Tuned Cats:
We love to see the clips where a guy takes one in the nuts, but the ones that really get us purring are the ones that clearly someone spent some time on…say for instance a guy cutting together and auto-tuning videos of cats on the internet into a song.
[Read More]Twitter Founder Jack Dorsey Coming Home to Speak at Webster University
Any of your tweet-up crazed St. Louis social media butterflies have a boner and not know why? It’s probably because St. Louis’ own Jack Dorsey, Twitter creator, is coming to town to speak at Webster University on September 18th.
St. Louis Post Dispatch’s Deb Peterson had this to say:
Dorsey, 32, graduated from Bishop Dubourg High School in 1995. The newsy part of this for anyone who already knew that the Twitter co-founder, who has 1,161,116 followers (make that 1,161,117 since I just jumped on), was a local product, is that Dorsey will be in town Sept. 18 to speak at 10 a.m. at Webster University.

Sedalia, Missouri’s School District is Run By Spineless Morons
If you graduated from Sedalia, Missouri’s school district, you are probably a moron. I’m just playing the odds here. Why? Well because apparently this wacky thing called science and specifically evolution isn’t cool enough to even be mentioned on a freaking t-shirt, let alone taught!
T-shirts promoting the Smith-Cotton High School band’s fall program have been recalled because of concerns about the shirt’s evolution theme.

Found on the City Streets: One Orphaned Unicorn
You never know what you will find while driving around the street of St. Louis, and today we found the best proof of that statement yet.
We drove by to see an “orphaned” unicorn sitting on the sidewalk of South City, placed by some grass (so it won’t go hungry we assume). I also had the following note on it’s head:
[Read More]More on Dave Duncan’s Sandy Vagina
Last week we broke the story that Cardinals pitching coach is a pussy, and now we get more information on the status of the amazing amounts of sand stuck in Dunc’s vagina from STLToday’s Joe Strauss.
A lot of this story is stuff we already knew and talked about in our last article, but Strauss does drop some new info like when Dave threw a hissy fit in the clubhouse after the Cardinals traded his son to the Boston Red Sox.
[Read More]Its Ok For Adults to Text While Driving Starting Today
Good news for those of us over the age of 21! You can drink, and you are still free to text message your friends while driving and potentially threaten the lives of everyone else on the road around you!
Motorists 21 or younger in Missouri will be prohibited from text messaging while driving starting on Friday, when a new law takes effect. The state will join 22 others in having some sort of prohibition on texting from behind the wheel.

It’s Official: Cornett Out, Devine In on the Bull’s Morning Shift
We mentioned this a while back, but now STLMedia.net is reporting its all official and junk.
Radio trades and Secret Squirrel seem to agree: Bull mid-dayer Jill Devine is now officially on mornings permanently and PD Billy Greenwood is moving from PM Drive to Mid-days.
We don’t listen to country music, but we do love Jill Devine and hope she does well in her new time slot!
