This dude robbed a bank in Delaware, then tried to deposit his loot in the ATM outside the  bank. Surprise! It didn't work.  Say you decide to rob a bank, and you manage to make it out the door with the cash without being shot, arrested or beat up. Then what do you do?   Well, you have to put the money somewhere, right? Personally, I'd hide it somewhere - bury it perhaps? - until the heat was off a little bit, but what do I know? I wouldn't do what this genius did when he robbed a Wilmington, Delaware, as Delaware State Police inform us:  He got the money from a teller, and police pick up the story from there: "The suspect fled the bank on foot, and once outside he made a deposit in the ATM on the exterior of the building. The suspect then continued to flee the scene behind the Prices Corners Shopping Center where he was located by responding troopers and taken into custody without incident." The dude police arrested, McRobert Williams, was charged with felony s...

Sad faced Larry Kudlow says Biden will force us to drink plant-based beer. .Who wants to tell Larry beer has always  been plant based.  Donald Trump's goofy former economics advisor Larry Kudlow was in yet another panic on Fox News the other day.  Apparently, Kudlow is trembling in his Tom Ford loafers because the Green New Deal, and by extension, President Biden's climate change policies, will force us all to drink only plant based beer!  The horror! Beer is currently made out of hops, grain and yeast --- oh right! Hops and grains are plants! The evil Green New Deal has already changed, um, nothing about beer.  Who wants to tell Kudlow the news? Never mind that the Green New Deal doesn't tell us how much meat we can or cannot consume. Biden's climate policy makes no mention of how much meat consumption Americans will be allowed. But, the ever fearful Kudlow still wants to rile the ever-fearful Trump base. His rant: "America has to, get this, America has to stop...

Ted Nugent: In the running for stupidest person of 2021? UPDATE: Though I hate to cheer when people get sick, it does look like Karma has hit our buddy Ted Nugent. After pretty much denying that Covid even exists for the past year, guess what? Nugent has Covid. "I have had flu symptoms for the last ten days.  I thought I was dying. Just a clusterfuck....I was tested positive today.  I've got the Chinese shit." Ever the poet, even in illness, is he? Despite his illness, he's still apparently against the Covid vaccine because, as he falsely says, "Nobody knows what's in it." Well, we don't know what's in that brain of yours, either.  PREVIOUS DISCUSSION I know I'm a bit of a bully but I just love picking on some dumb people.   Not every dumb person.  Hell, I'm not the sharpest crayon in the shed, which is how I like to mangle that expression.   Nevertheless, I still like to take the hot air out of the blowhard variety of stupid person, so ...

A colorful but destructive gender reveal party in Arizona about five years ago. It's a boy! It's also a destructive wildfire that caused $8 million in damage!  In the past month two people have died participating or planning gender reveal parties. It's the latest disaster caused by people trying to outdo each other. Stop!  In recent years these parties started at least two major western wildfires and inspired zillions of gender reveal party pratfall videos.  The problem seems to be the idea has taken off, and people insist that each gender party has to play out much more elaborately than any previous one.   In the most recent incident, a father to be died while working on a device for his child's gender reveal. According to the New York Post: "Christopher Pekny, 28, was working on the device for his child's gender reveal part in the Catskills town of Liberty when it blew up just before noon on Sunday.  The blast killed Pekny and injured his brother, 27-year...

The song "Leader Of The Pack" certainly has its fans, but its also quite a piece of 1960s oddness.  Every decade has its style mishaps, its entertainment embarrassments and it's creepy moments, and as far as I'm concerned, the 1960s had one super, doozy of one.  We take you back to 1964 with song "Leader of the Pack by the Shangri-Las.  While the song, and a video that's still circulating out there might have been super cool back then, you have to cringe and laugh at this for sure.  The video is a the bottom of this post, you HAVE to watch. But I'll set it up for you. I shouldn't mock, but I can't help it. The video in particular has so many wonderful moving parts. The lead singer's hair is one of the Seven World Wonders of structure. The "Leader Of The Pack" protagonist is a creepy guy who is way too old for our structure hair lady.  No wonder her parents forbade her from seeing this dude!   The two backup singers have the classic K...
