More Frivolous News

I just don't have the time or patience right now to make any real posts, so I just continue in my job of reporting the random news that I run across while mindlessly surfing the net to avoid doing real work. So here is the daily take.

The minor league baseball Pacific Coast League suspended every player, but one, from the Portland Beavers for chasing a fan through the stands and then beating him. What was the one guy doing while the rest of the team was fighting?

On Father's Day in 1997 the Charleston RiverDogs were going to give away free vasectomies at the game. The event was cancelled because of complaints.

This is funny because we have all seen those stupid and confusing warnings and symbols on every bit of packaging that we receive.

Paying More for Matching Limbs

In an act of incredible insensitivity a black women who is to undergo a foot amputation was told that she would have to take a white prosthetic because black ones were more expensive. Once again I'm not even going to attempt to comment on this.

Stealing Jesus

I'm not even going to comment on this. There just isn't anything that I can say.

More Disturbing Ways To Die

Now to add to the growing list of disturbing ways to die. (Maybe I should create a category for these). A Cambodian teen died when a fish that he had caught jumped in his mouth and suffocated him. Somewhere a PETA member is thinking, "serves him right for thinking that he is better than the fish."

Tinkering and Referall Tracking

As you can probably tell I've been tinkering a little more with my blog. I'm a little obsessive so I'm sure that the tinkering will continue. Just keep watching for updates.

In other news, yesterday I got more hits on my blog than any other day since I started tracking statistics. What's odd about this is that I didn't even make a new entry yesterday. Why, you might ask, would anyone visit this blog unless they saw on Chattablogs that I had posted a new entry? Well, it appears from looking at the referrers to my site that there are a lot of people looking for audio and video of Ozzy Osbourne singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" and my blog ranks pretty high when you search for such things. So if you are here to find out about Ozzy Osbourne singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" then go here and don't be afraid to leave a comment. [Yes that was a shameless attempt to get more hits on my blog].
