    100%. The local seltzys by Scarlet Letter are great and interesting flavors. I've also found that thr Lagunitas Disorderly Teas are pretty good rather than some nasty ass twisted tea or something similar.

    There is an old guy down in the ED who shot himself in the chest because he was tired of his wife nagging him. Old lady was just giving him the biz about something so he just shot himself to get her to leave him alone :roll: Bullet missed most of the important stuff, bounced off his hip and its now just chilling under the skin on his side.

    Certainly not a mugshawty, but a wild story about someone I went to elementary school with.

    Cantonment Woman Charged With Attacking Her Boyfriend With A Hatchet

    A Cantonment woman has been charged with cutting her live-in boyfriend multiple times with a hatchet.

    [​IMG]Jennifer Nicole Franko, 36, was booked into the Escambia County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon with bond set at $3,000.

    At a residence in the 1400 block of Tate School Road, deputies found the victim suffering from several cuts to his torso area and arms. Deputies said he appeared calm and did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He said he had become involved in a verbal altercation because she refused to leave the residence.

    During the altercation, Franko allegedly grabbed a hatchet and began cutting the victim before he was able to get the weapon from her, according to an arrest report. The victim also began to record the incident using his cell phone. Franko then grabbed his air mattress and was going to throw it outside because he could not find her cell phone charger. The victim said once at the door, another altercation started before she fell down the stairs.

    Franko stated under oath that she became engaged in a verbal altercation because she refused to leave the residence. She told deputies that her boyfriend pulled her off the couch by the legs and shoved her out the front door, causing her to fall down the stairs.

    A neighbor told deputies that it appeared Franko simply lost her balance and was she was not shoved hard enough to cause her to fall.

    On the way to the jail, Franko made statements that she wanted to hurt other people and needed to be locked up in a psych ward, according to her arrest report.

    The victim suffered injuries consistent with his statements, the report states. He was evaluated on scene by Escambia County EMS but was not transported to the hospital.

    Was listening to 21 guns by Green Day and thought the guitar solo sounded familiar and then it hit me that it was like the full house intro song.

    I’m contemplating how we all accepted that lenny kravitz was going to rule the radio for years. Hadn’t heard one song from him, and all of a sudden you couldn’t take a shit without hearing, “Are you gonna go my way.” That song doesn’t even slap.

  18. I went to a U2 concert with my friend and Lenny Kravitz was the opener. We had standing room area tickets right by the stage and on one of the equipment boxes Lenny's set list was posted and you could read it if you zoomed in with your camera on it. So when Lenny came on before every song my friend would yell "PLAY (Whatever song he was about to do)" before he did it and Lenny was getting visibly upset as it went on. Good times.

    The pen question in the random pics thread got me thinking...

    How often and for how long do you actually write with a pen? Other than quick notes or jotting down something for work, do you actually sit down and put pen to paper for an amount of time?

    My handwriting is pretty terrible, and I get a cramp in my hand after only 5-10 minutes. With Covid, my profession widely adopted electronic signatures, or even taking a picture of my written signature and inserting the Jpeg in the signature line. I write a lot, for work and pleasure, but when I say write I really mean type.

    I type super fast and it's just so much more efficient. When necessary I can do a short handwritten thank you note, but it's always such a chore.

    I like to keep a pen and notepad on me for when I get high and stroll around the park and write stuff down, or am sitting at a coffee shop or on the bus or whatever. Kind of a journal, but mostly random musings. Have been meaning to start trying out some fiction but haven't gotten around to it. I find it's much easier to keep focused when it's pen/paper rather than a ctrl + tab or swipe away from an infinity of content

    Im with you.

    I never write other than jotting a few things down. The most I write is probably on a white board tbh. The other day I decided to write a thank you note by hand. I lost count how many times I had to start over, and how soon my hand started hurting. Kind of sad.

    Man Crushed To Death By Pop-Up Urinal
    By Bill Galluccio

    January 27, 2023
    [​IMG]
    A worker was crushed to death by a retractable urinal on Friday (January 27). The urinals have been installed across London's entertainment districts and are stored below ground during the day. At night, they are raised above the ground, giving people a place to use the restroom so they do not have to urinate on the streets.

    The worker was reportedly performing maintenance on one of the telescopic urinals at Cambridge Circus in central London when he became trapped. First responders rushed to the scene and used a winch to free the man, who has not been identified. Unfortunately, they were unable to save him, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

    "The man is thought to have sustained crush injuries while working on a telescopic urinal at the location."

    Officials did not say how the worker became trapped. Roads remained cordoned off as investigators try to determine what happened.

    The incident occurred near the Palace Theatre, which is currently showing Harry Potter. The theater told Daily Mail that it is monitoring the situation and may cancel Friday night's performance due to the ongoing police activity.

    "It is an ongoing situation. We will try and give as much notice as possible," a spokesperson for the theater said.
