Covington cops say alcohol and drugs may have been a factor in a modern-day version of "Lady Godiva."
According to a Covington Police spokesman, a cab driver picked up 29-year-old Jennifer Gille from a local motel, after she asked to be taken to an address off Harrison Avenue.
Covington Police Capt. Jack West said that upon arrival at the address, the woman refused to exit the cab. Further complicating matters, the cab driver said the woman "began acting crazy," taking off her clothing and demanding the cab driver take her to Michigan.
The boomers are like a generation of MC Hammers. They had money, notoriety, life by the balls and then they just fucked it all up. So I'm finding comedy that The Atlantic thinks the biggest fuckups have a clue as how to clean up their mess.
Self-absorbed, self-indulged, and self-loathing, the Baby Boom generation at last has the chance to step out of the so-called Greatest Generation’s historical shadow. Boomers may not have the opportunity to save the world, as their predecessors did, but they can still redeem themselves by saving the American economy from the fiscal mess that they, and their fathers and mothers, are leaving behind.
A Leesburg man accused of using a BB gun to motivate a teenager during football drills in blistering heat said Monday he's sorry and that the incident was a misunderstanding.
Robert Lynn Barker, 41, left his family home and was forced to cut off all contact with his stepson after he was arrested Saturday on a child-abuse charge. He told the Orlando Sentinel that he would never hurt the boy he raised from infancy.
"I didn't mean for this to get out of hand," a tearful Barker said. "I'm sorry if I did something wrong. Maybe I was a little over-zealous. I'm sorry."
If a FL politician runs on spending more on education they'll have my full support. Half the people that live here have bolts in their neck.
NICEVILLE – A 22-year-old woman driving around with an open can of alcohol and crack cocaine was arrested after she flagged down a Niceville Police officer for directions.
Local governments love to drop the full weight of the law on the powerless.
But Pearson lives in North Port, a city that has targeted citizens for violating rules regulating everything from how often you mow your grass to the cars in your driveway.
North Port took Pearson to court this month over fines of more than $27,000 for keeping her old car in the driveway without a license plate. If the city wins its case, Pearson could be facing bankruptcy.
"It's been a nightmare," said Pearson, 49, who works two jobs to stay afloat as she raises three teenagers.
I always dug performance art bands like The Velvet Underground. Which in turn makes me really enjoy metal acts like Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. I guess I just like acts that want to make sure the audience gets what they pay for. But strangely I like a lot of bands that show up to a concert too drunk to play their instruments.
Am I even making sense? I'm up kind of late. And this isn't one of those times, but sometimes I show up to my laptop too drunk to blog.
MILTON – A 34-year-old Milton woman was arrested after her husband alleged she attempted to burn his boat, go-kart and Jacuzzi after an argument.
Shannon Wriska was arrested Sept. 2 and charged with a first-degree battery charge and arson, a second-degree felony.
At 1 p.m. Thursday afternoon, Santa Rosa County deputies were dispatched to Fleetwood Drive in Milton in reference to an arson complaint, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. When deputies arrived, they noticed a boat parked in front of a trailer was partially burned. Flames had reached the side of the trailer.
Ms. Erickson: It will be harder to get the jobs because more [boomers] will be fearful of moving on or cutting back, which I always thought was the more practical solution for boomers. I never really thought that they should in fact leave totally. But I do think they should cut back and move into part-time positions and turn over the leadership reins to the Xers. I think you're going to see less willingness to do that than even before. I also think to the extent that they get the jobs, the challenge is just a lot tougher. So there's almost an element "Do you want that top job or not," because it's going to be really tough if you get it.
The one silver lining is that I don't think Xers were surprised by the recession in the same way that boomers and Generation Ys were. I think those are both very rose-colored-glasses generations. I think boomers were absolutely stunned that something bad had happened to them. Most Xers I know have always thought about the great what-if and have worked hard throughout their careers to think about back-up plans and alternatives.
It seems about time at least 1 radio station gives enough of a fuck about us to spin our tunes.
New slogan at the former current-focused rhythmic Hot 93.9 KIKI is “Your generation’s ol’skool.” The appeal is to Generation X listeners who want a great deal of variety, including some Hawaiian flavors, but a rhythmic beat throughout the playlist.
You laugh, but I'm tellin' ya Zombies are coming. (HT: to the world renowned Kath)
Students taking the class will watch 16 classic zombie films and read zombie comics. As an alternative to a final research paper they'll be allowed to write scripts or draw storyboards for their ideal zombie flicks.
The university isn't the first to have a class on the undead. Columbia College in Chicago has offered a course on Zombies in popular media for years, and at Simpson College in Iowa students spent the spring semester writing a book on "The History of the Great Zombie War."
Hey! Just wanted to thank you for dropping by this summer. Particularly since I had to miss a lot of blogging due to some crappy crap. The fact that I have people who willingly drop in here to see what nonsense I posted truly blows me away.
In a recent USA Weekend magazine, the cover story was about Drew Barrymore. Generally, that wouldn't interest me, but this story caught my eye. The cover quoted her as saying, “I'm trying to figure out what the second half of my life is going to be.”
Barrymore, 35, is only six months younger than me, and only slightly young enough still to remain within the youth-obsessed media's acceptable age demographic.
From the perspective of today's teens, I suppose she's been an adult for a long time now. By any reasonable standard, 35 is fairly adult. But, as someone who's known about (if not actually known) Barrymore since we were both 7, it's odd, having to consider that someone still so youthful and immature-seeming is barreling towards 40. Because that means that I am, too.
This isn't a problem for me, though. I'm one of those people who got called “an old soul” by concerned teachers. I can't wait to yell, “Get off my lawn!” at some rambunctious kids without having to worry that they might still consider me young enough for a fight.
A story I wish happened in FL.
