Santa’s on a rampage!

Well, he is, according to this CNN article: Murderous Santa display draws stares.

Pretty crazy stuff.

And no, I haven’t abandoned this WordPress.com blog. Just got busy with other things and haven’t had a chance to do anything with it lately. Hopefully they’ve added some new features… part of the interesting comparison between this and the Blogger site I set up is watching this one evolve, since it was still a bit of a work-in-progress.

Anyway, back to our regular blogging schedule. Or thereabouts.

 

Ronald McDonald robs Wendys!

Yes, it’s strange but true: Ronald MacDonald robs Wendy’s, loses job:

Now the 22-year-old MacDonald has been charged with stealing from a safe at the Wendy’s restaurant where he worked.

The man is no relation to the cheerful, red-haired clown who is the face of the McDonald’s advertising campaign.

It’s especially nice how they clarify that he’s no relation to the “real” Ronald McDonald.

 

19 shots?

CNN: Bartender jailed for lethal tequila

A 32-year-old Norwegian bartender was sentenced to six months in prison Wednesday for serving a customer so much tequila that he fell into a coma and died.

According to a district court in the southwestern city of Hokksund the bartender, whose name was withheld, pleaded guilty to serving 34-year-old Leif Henning Nilsen 19 shots of the strong Mexican liquor in 90 minutes at the Spiseriet restaurant in May 2004.

19 shots of tequila?? Holy damn, that’s off the hook. Why would any bartender serve that much alcohol to any one person? Oh:

The ruling said the bartender intentionally contributed to the excess by drinking shots of water, tricking the victim into what he thought was a drinking contest.

I smell an episode of “Law & Order”…
