excellence is in the execution. Having a better plan and not being a moron
helps, though. Two thieves suspected of stealing an
ATM machine from a business in Snohomish County, Washington failed on almost
every level of that system when they jacked the machine from a business near
Lynnwood at around 11 a.m., cut the cables to the ATM and loaded it in to their
van. Unfortunately, the thieves failed to find out how much the ATM weighed, if
it would fit into the van and whether the van could complete the getaway with
the added weight. Thus, they only made it as far as the parking lot before the
machine fell out of the getaway van. Sheriff's spokeswoman Shari Ireton said
deputies have recovered the ATM machine, which they believe fell out of the van
when the men drove too fast over a speed bump. The only part of this entire
amateur hour operation that showed a shred of sense is after the ATM fell out
of the van. At that point, the suspects drove away without it. Not
surprisingly, the van had been reported stolen from nearby Kent and deputies
found the van idling the morning after the failed heist. It was impounded so deputies could look for evidence
and if the way this terrible plan unfolded is any indication, there will be
plenty of evidence with which to track down these two morons and make sure they
face both the scorn and justice due to them after one of the worst criminal
efforts of the year………..
- Are
the rap wars back? Probably not, but Wu Tang Clan
rapper Ghostface Killah is doing what he can to keep the hate flowing by
threatening to set fellow rapper Action Bronson's beard on fire in a filmed
rant posted online. Bronson is white and uses his Albanian ethnic background
pretty damn well in his rap game, showing the sort of game that should earn him
respect. In the rap game, respect often comes in the form of a rival taking a
shot at you and in the video, Ghost can be seen talking directly to camera and calling out
Bronson, who has repeatedly been compared to him in the past. "First of all you little fat f*ck, who gives you the
right to even mention my name out your mother*cking mouth," Ghostface
says. "Boy you done made a mistake boy. You done f*cked up. Because listen
man, you could never fuck with my pen. My sword, my blade, whatever you want to
call it, I’m too nasty for you. This is why the f*ck you look up to me, and
sound like me." That was enough vitriol in and of itself, but Ghost wasn’t
done. In fact, he was just ramping up to threatening actual physical violence
against Bronson. "You walk around the club with no shoes on, a big ass
beard that one day I might set on fire just for saying my name. Doing 25 years
doesn't sound so good, but I got shooters who'll do that,” Ghost said. “Those
shooters are not from New York. I don't think you know the magnitude of what
you have done." Bronson is based in New York, so keeping an eye out for
any actual trouble from this might be a good idea………
- Venezuela
must be a fun place to do business. When your government can hijack your operation
and order you to distribute food staples to a
network of state-run supermarkets amid chronic shortages of basic goods, it has
to be uplifting and not at all frustrating. That’s precisely what private
companies in Venezuela say the government has ordered them to do. According to
the Food Industry Chamber, authorities ordered producers of milk, pasta, oil,
rice, sugar and flour to supply between 30 percent and 100 percent of their
products to the state stores. If you’re the government and can flex that kind
of muscle, it’s a great plan because there are 15 times as many private stores in
the socialist South American country as state-run ones. Chamber President Pablo
Baraybar claims the order could cause major supply problems and as expected,
the government isn't commenting. Underneath all of this is the strife caused by
rigid currency controls and a shortage of U.S. dollars, both of which make it
difficult for Venezuelans to find imported goods. The rigidity with which the
government reigns over businesses and stifles their ability to function on a
daily basis is both sad and sadly amazing. Many of those companies complain
that such controls make it hard to turn a profit and justify production.
Speak the truth and fight the power, y’all……….
- Baseball
injuries are the best. They come from some of the best athletes in the world
getting taken out doing mundane tasks the rest of us perform on a daily basis
with no trouble and yet, these millionaires in spikes can't navigate them
without spraining, straining or breaking something. Minnesota Twins rookie
Miguel Sano became the latest entry to this dubious list and while he didn’t
miss a game due to a sunburn from a tanning booth, shred his elbow throwing out
a trash bag full of watermelon rinds or twist his neck putting on a hat that
was a size too small, he did go down in embarrassing fashion when he sprained
his right ankle stepping on a ball during infield drills Saturday and was out
of the lineup Sunday. He played Saturday as the designated hitter despite the
injury, but the ankle got worse as the game progressed and he finished 0-for-3
with three strikeouts with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning that gave the
Twins the lead before Oakland rallied to tie, later winning in extra innings. Sano
left the stadium on crutches and will be sidelined for a few more days thanks
to a ball that was rolling in from the outfield when he was doing first base
drills. "We should have done a better job of clearing the field,'' Twins
manager Paul Molitor said. The injury came at a bad time, as Sano impressed in
his first 13 games in the majors, batting .326 with two home runs and nine RBI.
His fast start is now on pause because the cutoff man for the outfielders couldn’t
snag that ball rolling free during outfield practice and baseball lore has
another awesome MLB injury to add to a book rapidly filling up with them………
