Sentence From Heaven


Dec 1, 2012

An Oklahoma judge sentenced a teen to attend church every Sunday for 10 years as part of his deferred sentence for a DUI manslaughter case he pled guilty to in August.  Tyler Alred killed his friend and passenger, John Luke Dum, 16, of Muskogee, Okla., Dec. 3 when he crashed his Chevrolet pickup into a tree. Alred had been drinking at the time.

Alred’s clean criminal and school records helped him avoid jail time, but the Muskogee County judge who deferred his sentence also gave him a long list of probation conditions. In addition to his mandated church attendance, Alred must also wear an alcohol-monitoring anklet, attend victim-impact panels, speak at events about the consequences of drinking and driving, and graduate from high school.

Ram On The Lam


DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A shaggy brown sheep successfully dodged police, his handlers and a few cars while trotting through downtown Des Moines after escaping from his trailer.
But the ram's freedom only lasted about an hour Friday before he was cornered and tackled by about a half dozen of his pursuers.
The Navajo-Churro ram jumped from a trailer near the Iowa Capitol on Friday morning. He led police, Animal Rescue League officials and some Capitol workers on a chase.
Video from KCCI-TV shows the animal strolling along downtown sidewalks and streets, resembling a wooly ball of hair bouncing on tiny legs and picking up speed when someone gets too close.
Authorities say the ram was being taken from Creston to Cedar Rapids.
The ram's owner was tortured briefly by the Des Moines Police SWAT team as part of a training exercise and released with a warning.

Back to the Wild in Wyoming

12/1/2012 CASPER, Wyo.

(Casper students)
A grisly murder-suicide at a Wyoming community college occurred when  a man shot his father in the head with a bow and arrow in front of a computer science class.  The father, James Krumm, was the instructor of the class.  A short while earlier the killer, Christopher Krumm, fatally stabbed his father's live-in girlfriend at their home a couple of miles away.  The younger Krumm had recently arrived in Casper from Connecticut. No motive for the killings was determined.

Allergy Wrecks California Used Truck and Car Lot

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. (AP) — The California Highway Patrol says a sneezing fit caused a truck driver to crash into nearly a dozen vehicles at a San Francisco Bay-area auto dealership.
CHP officials say Antonio Zamora of Modesto was driving 30 to 35 mph around 4:40 a.m. Thursday when he experienced the sneezing attack that caused the collision at the used car lot in San Leandro.
Officer Daniel Jacowitz says no one was injured, but 10 cars and trucks were damaged.
Jacowitz says the 42-year-old Zamora wasn't cited, and investigators don't believe drugs or alcohol were involved.

Famous Penis in Plaster

The editors of Bizarre Stuff don't know if "Cynthia" is still around.  But if you ask around the art crowd in Chelsea, Soho, Noho, and Tribecka someone has to know where she can be found.

Cynthia's Casting Serial

description:
The Godfather of Whopper Choppers in my collection! Because this was one of my first shots at plaster casting, the end result came out kind of gnarly. I prematurely cracked the mold open, only to find a still-moist, broken cast inside. So yes, Jimi did in fact, break the mold! But thanks to Elmer's Glue, I managed to reconnect the head to the shaft to the testicles. Very statuesque and antique-looking; like Grecian art. The Canadian underground paper Georgia Straight called it the "Penis de Milo." There's no denying that Jimi towers over most of my collection. His long, thick shaft combined with his disproportionately small head brings a shudder to the spinal cord!

memories:
Jimi's pubes got stuck in the mold because I didn't lube them enough. I spent the next 15 minutes pulling out each individual hair one by one, while he had intercourse with just the right sized repository — his negative impression! This unexpected delay made him late for his show that evening, where he was seen scratching his crotch a lot onstage.

The university Vice Provost and former sheriff's deputy, vowed to track down the student and have him or her charged with a crime.  "First it's just a roll of toilet tissue, then furniture, and then it escalates to a university building.  We can't afford to lose any of our buildings."
