Matt Rosemeir's Edible Dirt comic often cracks me up, and this comic is no exception.

Dumbest Criminals Lists
It occurred to me today that I almost constantly notice new lists, videos or blog entries pointing out the stupidest criminals in the world. You know, the guy in Tennessee who decided that pointing his pistol wasn't intimidating enough, so he shoved it forward toward the convenience store cashier. And the barrel fell off, leading to the intended armed robber being beat down with a Louisville Slugger (I always prefer real wood to aluminum in my beat-downs...) or the feller that slipped a hastily scribbled note to a teller, who calmly pointed to the clock and said that she was terribly sorry, but the bank was closed from 12 PM to 1 PM for lunch. The guy looked a little confused, so she asked him if he'd like to sit in the comfortable waiting area chairs and have a coffee.
I suspect that the most outrageous 'stupid criminal' stories are true, but there is a lot of research being done on recidivism and in particular, guys who need a structured environment, or three hots and a cot in order to get by.which brings me to the stupid little thought that I set out to record: Hard as it is for me to imagine, some guys get themselves caught just so the can go back to prison. Can you imagine trying to get caught? Well some do. Some do? Wow, Git 'er done, Here's your sign!

Community - CBSSports.com
CBS Sports.com writer Any Benoit - certainly not the only person who predicted a Saints thrashing of Seattle, but isn't it fun to look at his rather snide and self-assured language and chuckle after the Seahawks beat the Saints. I guess the Hawks don't read Andy's column. Or much else. Thank God they don't! With an offensive line that is whole for the first time since week 1, and the defense finding ways to get half a dozen key stops, plus a reinvigorated (or should I simply say a less hurried, less battered) Matt Hasselbeck, the team looked great. What a win for the Hawks and for Carroll!
Here's some of Andy's best dismissive and bulletin board material:
The 2010 Saints essentially became the first wild card team in history to get a bye when they drew the matchup against the hapless/fruitless/pathetic/laughable/embarrassing NFC West Champion Seahawks. Seattle can obviously play the “nobody believes in us card”. It’s not even a card to play – it’s more just a fact. But it doesn’t matter because nobody believes in their ability to play the “nobody believes in us card” anyway. And nobody cares if the Seahawks have a chip on their shoulder or something to prove or are out for respect or whatever it is bad teams say before big games. So you say nobody thinks you deserve to be here, Seattle? You’re correct. And all the nobodies are correct, too.

Bwahahahahaha!
Of course, the graph of who starts the argument probably shows that the man does in an inverse measure - maybe even maxing out over 50% :0

YouTube - Nerf Battle of the Ads: Snipers, Shooters and Clods
Nerf, to the father of a nine year old boy, seems to represent approximately thirty percent of gross US GDP. Well, when this contest to submit a self-made ad for Nerf, my son Gus was all over the idea. We worked out some ideas, roped his sister in, and went to a wooded park to videotape. We think it is kinda funny, and I hope you’ll get a chuckle too. Don’t know if we’ll even register in the contest, but it was sure a fun thing to do with the kids.
Think you’ve been disappointed?
This is another Edible Dirt cartoon. Matt Rosemier does a great job with his comic, and though I warn you some are pretty raw, his site is worth a look. So close…
Weird Words in English
by Derek Andrews
This is knowledge of the type I can virtually guarantee neither you, I or any of our countrymen and women will EVER need. But it is informative !!!
Q: What is a Rumbelow ?
A: Well Donald Rumbelow is a British Crime Historian who is a Jack the Ripper expert, having written books about him and
who also leads walking tours of the Ripper haunts in Whitechapel.
But perhaps even he doesn't realise that rumbelow is also a meaningless combination of syllables serving as a song or refrain sung by sailors while rowing a boat eg: Heave Ho or Hey-Ho. (14th century).
Having whetted your appetite for learning potential Scrabble point-scorers, have a go at this lot of never to be heard of again English words.
And no cheating !!!

Doughnut burger, fried butter, new foods at state fairs - USATODAY.com
Man, I like junk food as much as the next guy, but FRIED BUTTER? This is an amusing offbeat story from USA Today. See if your local fair is “up to date” in culinary delights. I’ll stick to elephant ears, scones, onion burgers…
I guess those don’t exactly represent a healthier alternative, do they? But really, fried butter?!?!?!

Whitey Herzog – Hall of Famer
I always liked to hear Whitey Herzog interviews because you never knew what he was going to say, and his teams were always fun to watch. He’s being inducted into the Hall of Fame, and I enjoyed this article by Glenn Liebman in ESPN online: Five Top Whitey Herzog Quotes.
Five Top Whitey Herzog Quotes
1. "Baseball has been good to me since I quit trying to play it."
-- Whitey Herzog, on his future

2. "What we could use is a couple of shutouts, but I don't know if that would be good enough to win."
-- Whitey Herzog, on a weak-hitting Cardinal team that he managed
3. "Your life or mine?"
-- Whitey Herzog, after being offered a lifetime contract by 80-year-old Cardinals owner Gussie Busch
4. "He got hit so hard that I had to get all the married men off the field."
-- Whitey Herzog, on pitcher Ken Dayley
5. "If they fire me, I'll be the highest paid fisherman in the country."
-- Whitey Herzog, on rumors about being fired

Nekkid but not Nice
This is one of the funnier stories I’ve read. Sad, for a number of reasons – 19 year old thief, toying with the emotions of the lonely dude, etc.) but funny in a way. The couple had been communicating virtually after meeting on MySpace. When the in-person meeting finally arrived, the woman appears to have given the man the impression she was way into him. Enough to get him in the shower, then step out saying she had a surprise for him. And she did. When he finally got suspicious (he says a minute later, I wonder if it was maybe when the hot water ran out, given how much the woman stole), he emerged to find his wallet, cell phone, laptop and then car missing. I’ll be getting the arrest report here if I can…

New Yorker’s Subtlety
This photo made me laugh. If you’ve ever been around one of these alarms that goes off for five minutes every time a delivery truck goes by, you might laugh too.
