The Ranting Beaver

... the fact that the person chose a hammer to assault (or worse) his friends or the fact that the police/reporter are trying to insinuate that it was spurred by Dungeons and Dragons. Really? I can't tell who is the bigger dumbass.

Read more about it here.

If we let them blame a board game for this (this involved adults for pete's sake, not kids) then it just opens the door wider for them to blame video games for crap like school shootings ... oh wait, I forgot, people already doing that.

Make them take responsibility and admit that they are fucked up and irrational and stop blaming unrelated crap to help you rationalize why the fuck someone would take a hammer to his friends. If nothing else, at least draw more conclusion that it was over a woman which would make MUCH more sense. Jeez.

Apparently, if you have lots of time and focus, you can make money on Facebook without even creating another annoying application. All you have to do is create a bunch of bogus profiles and makes lots of friends. And then sell them.

That is exactly what someone did. Read about it here.

Almost wish I thought of it first. There's lots of lonely suckers out there. Need proof? Just log on to Facebook or MySpace and take a look around.

You can't make this stuff up ... well, you can, but real life is so much more entertaining. This one is for the Beaver.

NATICK, Mass. (AP) - A child's birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant was cut short after a fight broke out between two mothers. Natick police said the mom of the 9-year-old birthday boy apparently became enraged because the other woman's son was "hogging" an arcade game.

Sgt. Paul Thompson said Catherine Aliaga, 38, and Tarsha Williams, 33, both of Boston, would be summoned into court to answer charges of simple assault and battery stemming from the scuffle.

Thompson told the MetroWest Daily News that police received a number of 911 calls about the fight Saturday night.

He said what started as a birthday celebration turned into a "birthday melee."

It's all fun and games until a couple of moms throw down (hey - maybe that could be a new t-shirt ...).

Here's one - what a way to go. Apparently, the Champagne Room was too much for a young "gentleman" who died shortly after a private session.

Secondly, peep out the newest young lady I am admiring as of late - Alex Sim-Wise, most notably from Loaded magazine. Anyone who knows me, knows this is right up my alley.

Lastly, have you heard the "backlash" from Phillip Rivers calling Jay Cutler's momma something unintelligible ... across a football field no less ... from the sideline. Real brave. Here's Champ Bailey doing a fine Shannon Sharpe impression. Silly, given both QBs are really quite horrible (I wouldn't draft or waiver wire either of them myself).

Not much to post, but at least I have something to share.

Here's a story about an announcer getting the boot for being clever. Too bad. Not enough people have fun with their job.

A really, really wrong MP3 that a friend showed me. If you don't laugh, you're not sick enough to be here. (Thanks Philly!)

Lastly, my friend Carlos, always looking out for my 'mental health' pointed this link out. Gotta book my flight for the next one ... makes me want to almost shun American football. Almost.

Have a good weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving first of all!

Not much to add today, but here are a couple of odd stories to help you feel thankful for your current situation.

Not sure how true this story is, but this guy survived a two hour flight on the outside of the plane.

Apparently too much of a good thing does exist. Imagine having 200 orgasms a day. Sounds good right? Well, perhaps not - check out what this this woman goes through.

Is there really any hope for anyone else when you hear about nuns in Rome snapping? Read all about it here.

Can't we all just get along?

First schools ban dodgeball, now a Colorado Springs school is banning the game of tag ...

What in the hell? Crybabies. Nonesense.
