Duffy's Rant Netcast

A woman in Arnold, Mo. was arrested for shoplifting when she was slow in figuring out that she was trying to get out an automatic enter door and quite loud in expressing her frustration. (From News of the Weird and KSDK, St. Louis)

A guy named Nathaniel Johnson was arrested in March in Tampa, Fl. on burglary charges when the police had evidence of his presence in a neighborhood that was having a rash of break-ins.  The evidence?  He was wearing an ankle monitor from a previous arrest! (From News of the Weird and WFTS, Tampa)

SHEESH!

Dvorak came across this wacked video of a traffic accident.  It appears that the vehicle being tracked was a mule for illegal immigrants.

John counted *27* from the van.  Try your luck.

There’s  lake near Webster, MA that folks have been calling Lake Webster simply because the real name of the place is **45** letters long!  GAK!

The real name of the lake is:

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg

What a mouthful!  Anyhow, apparently, the local paper and the Chamber of Commerce didn’t have anything better to do so they set out to see if the name’s spelled right.  Okaaaayyyyyyy.

Here’s what they came up with:

After researching historical spelling combinations, the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester said local Chamber of Commerce officials agreed that some signs were wrong. There was an "o" at letter 20 where a "u" should have been, and an "h" at letter 38 where an "n" should go.

No wonder the newspaper biz is having troubles.

There are times when all you can say is WTF!

Or maybe OOPS!

This one’s from TSN.  Enjoy!

Okay.  we all have seen the donnybrooks at hockey games.  BUT.

Do you remember when the GOALIES got into it?  Remember no more…here’s a video with one man’s choice of the 10 wildest goalie moments.

Fair warning.  There ARE cuss words and nasty talk on this one.

Kate Hudson-a little dirty and funny.

You know that the government passes laws, but when those laws go where the sun don’t shine, it gets seriously weird.  Thanks to Simcha and Alternet.

For instance:

In Bakersfield, Calif., if you’re going to have sex with Satan, you’ve gotta use a condom.

Poking a porcupine is illegal in Florida. But apparently that law didn’t go far enough. Just a couple of weeks ago, State Sen. Nan Rich submitted a bill that would ban peeps in the Sunshine State from being able to stick it in where the sun don’t shine on any animal.

In Minnesota, it’s illegal for any slime bucket to hook up with a live fish.  Don’t worry disinterested wives, a cold fish is still A-OK! (ed.  YUK!)

In Dyersburg, Tenn., it is illegal for a lady to call a gentleman for a date. Clearly no one in that town is getting laid!

It’s illegal to purchase sex toys in Alabama. (Ed.-anyone been to downtown Mobile lately?)

In Washington state, it’s totally legal to eff an animal like an animal, as long as it weighs less than 40 lbs.

In Washington, D.C., engaging in any sexual position other than missionary is illegal.

In Massachusetts, you cannot recklessly consummate your love with a rodeo clown while the horses are still around. Guess they’re afraid that the horses’ morals would be corrupted.

In Utah, sex with an animal is totally cool, unless you’re doing it for cold, hard cash! Now THAT is kinky!

If you remember Johnny Carson and the general mayhem that happened when Dom DeLouise was on, here’s a clip from yesteryear.
