It's all in last line ... (silly news)

From the ever-delightful "New of the Weird":

People Who Are Messes: Tommy Tester, 58, minister of Gospel Baptist Church in Bristol, Va., was arrested in July after he allegedly urinated at a car wash, in front of children and police officers, while wearing a skirt. (Police said alcohol was involved.) [Bristol Herald Courier, 7-31-07]

Catherine Delgado, 35, was arrested in Annapolis, Md., in August after she appeared, smudged with fudge, in a hotel lobby around midnight with "large slabs of fudge bulging out of her pockets" (according to a Washington Post story). A police officer later checked a nearby Fudge Kitchen store and found the door inexplicably open and a large display quantity missing from the front window. (Police said alcohol was involved, along with fudge.) [Washington Post, 8-3-07]

No!

When are people going to stop blaming the fudge

I'm sorry, but it's time that this nation instituted a 21-year age limit and a two-week waiting period on fudge purchases. Possession of fudge in the act of committing another offense: 15 to 20.

You're next, salt water taffy...

Damn. Now I want fudge.

Be strong. That's what it...wants you to want...it.

I'm starting to understand how one comes to be found waddling from a Fudge Kitchen at past midnight with one's pockets stuffed with slabs of "display" fudge. Question: how old is "display" fudge, to the nearest year?

Is there a rancidity test? Is rancidity a word? I like it.

What are the odds ...

In August, employees at the bar Changes, in Seattle, had to break up a karaoke-night attack by a woman on a man who was singing the Coldplay song "Yellow." The woman had shouted, "Oh, no, not that song. I can't stand that song." She charged the stage, screamed at the man and shoved him (and it eventually took four men to hold her for police).

"smudged with fudge"

Dam, that's almost poetic.

The SO used to gently tease our older dog, who put a bit of weight on, for her "folds of fudge." Rather adorable really.

Indeed. All the hallmarks of a fudge induced karaoke-rage. It doesn't take much.

I can understand that reaction. And fudge isn't even involved.

My friend and I love singing karaoke, but that's never happened to us. Hell, if someone sings a song we don't want to hear, we go to the bar and get another drink! Alcohol is also good for drowning out the people who are WAY off key (like me!).

Every time I hear someone attempt to do "These Boots are made for Walking" I have the same reaction.

There's a craft to writing these news stories, my friend. Years of time in the news game before you can pen the real classics.

The song "Feelings" would have caused a full-blown riot, only silenced by copious amounts of fudge.

If I hear one more doofus karaoke 'Soul Man', I'll puke up my fudge.
