A kid from Snohomish, WA almost lost his leg when the ceremonial high school football cannon misfired and exploded. Now the residents of Snohomish, WA have threatened him and his family to keep their mouths shut, lest they lose the right to keep using a cannon in their games. They are proud of the fact that they are the last town that is still allowed to have the cannon that, for some strange reason, was banned in every other town in Washington.

I guess they decided to NOT keep their mouth shut. A quick visit to the Snohomish Panthers website showed a total of 300 votes(about how many games you plan on attending). Now it is up to over 50,000.

Captain Jeffrey "Toz" Toczylowski was a Green Beret who died in Iraq in November of 2005. He had one of his Green Beret buddies send out an email he had written in case of his death to his friends and relatives. In it, he told them about the $100,000 he had set aside for a party to be held in his honor in Las Vegas. Fucking awesome. That is DEFINATELY how I would want to be remembered.

Here is a link to his tribute website.

UPDATE - I fixed the dead link. Apparently the LA Times wants to charge you to view old articles. F that.

I always knew the storeroom smell funny at my high school. It turns out that the smell could have been, rapidly decaying radioactive waste!

As we all know, dragon meat is the key ingredient in many, many valuable dishes. But in England, if you call your sausages, "Dragon Sausage," you better have dragon meat in them. Otherwise, you need to change the name of your product.
