The answer to More's Mystery this morning: George Carlin.
Braden Smith will be out and about again this weekend. He'll be out stylin' & profilin' at Powell's Furniture on Route 3 in Fredericksburg this Saturday from High Noon 'til 3. Stop by and have some fun with Braden.
In the "It Might Be Time To Switch To A Decaf" department:
This is one of those stories I hate to hear about because it's one of those things that could happen to any of us. It's the old "being in the wrong place at the wrong time" type of thing. Authorities say a couple at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Norwell, Massachusettes were upset because their order was taking so long. So, they started yelling profanities at the workers. There was a man also in line who asked that they stop cursing because he had his kids with him. His request was met with a beating by the couple. Thirty-one year-old Jared Garagna punched the man in the head, while his girlfriend, twenty-four year-old Sara Mohn kicked him. KFC employees called police. Mohn was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (her shoe?). Garfagna was charged with assault and battery.
Summary: So, they order some fried chicken. It's taking too long. These 2 dopes start yelling out profanities. A man in line with his kids says, "Can you please stop cursing. I have my kids with me." So, the couple beats him up. All this happening at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Norwell, Massachusettes. I have a feeling the couple was pretty fried as well.
I would love to have watched and listened to all of this from a safe distance. All the cursing............plus all the talk about legs and thighs probably made it all sound even dirtier.
The Letterman saga continues. Last nigh, Letterman apologized to his wife on the air. I'm sure that was her idea, part of his punishment. I'm sure you know by now that Letterman has admitted to having affairs with some female staffers. When a CBS producer found out about it (he's the ex-boyfriend of one of the staffers), he tried blackmailing Letterman. A sting operation was set up and the man was arrested after he accepted a fake check from Letterman for $2 million . The man's lawyer says his client is innocent (Gee, that's something you don't see very often. A lawyer who says his client is innocent). He says as a CBS producer, he has covered dozens of stories about extortion and blackmailing plots and would never be dumb enough to take a fake $2 million check for hush money.
Yeah, I agree. No one at CBS would be so dumb as to risk their career on a phony piece of paper.
Oh, wait a minute...............................there was that one time.................
