  1. Uh-oh! Is Bradley in trouble? Robbery suspect’s colorful underwear helps police arrest him NEW YORK (AP) — A pair of multicolored briefs peeking out above a robbery suspect’s low-slung trousers helped police arrest him more than a year later. The robbery happened at a tobacco shop in Queens on Sept. 14, 2022. Three masked men got out of a Mazda and entered the store. Two of the men pointed guns at employees and customers while the third emptied the cash register and grabbed merchandise and employees’ cellphones. The robbers fled in the Mazda Surveillance videos that were disseminated through the media (artifical dissemination?) showed the third robber wearing brightly colored briefs with a large letter R in white and the year 1990 in yellow. An anonymous tipster passed along the Instagram handle of the suspect with the colorful underwear, the complaint said. The caller also told police that the robbers had tried to sell their stolen merchandise at another Queens location. Detectives reviewed video footage from the sale location and spotted the man with the colorful underwear, now easily identifiable because he was no longer wearing a mask showing a massive bulge. Police identified the suspect based on his Instagram account, the video from the merchandise sale spot and photos from prior arrests, according to the complaint. The 30-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday morning at his home in Queens by members of a New York Police Department-Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms joint task force. He was awaiting arraignment in federal court in Brooklyn, a spokesperson for the U.S. attorney’s office said. An email seeking comment was sent to the suspect’s attorney with the federal public defender’s office. The other two robbery suspects are still at hung large, authorities said.
  2. Dear Abby: I’m 20, and I recently moved into an apartment with my 19-year-old sister. I thought it would be a great idea because we’d get to see each other more often and we’d be more comfortable living together than with strangers. Recently, however, she has gotten a new boyfriend she brings over all the time. I don’t like people. WHO DOES? IN YOUR CASE, I’M SURE THE FEELING’S MUTUAL Having him in my home makes me feel threatened for some reason I can’t figure out, especially since he hasn’t done anything. MAYBE YOU’RE SEVERELY DISTURBED I acknowledge that fact, and I try not to be nasty to him because of it. The problem is, he comes over during the day, and my sister also has him sneak out of his parents’ house at 2 a.m. so he can sleep here with her. This happens almost every night, and I’m usually awake and hear them. I have told my sister I don’t like it and asked her not to do those things when I’m home, but she won’t listen. She gets upset and defensive and tries to take the blame off of herself by saying there’s nothing else they can do since I am always home. I go to work and school most days, but at night there’s nowhere for me to be but in my bed. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to put up with this anymore, but I can’t decide if I’m making it worse like she says. I’m thinking about moving out and finding her a new roommate, but I don’t want to offend her because I like being able to see her. What should I do? — Troubled Sister in Idaho Dear Sister: Face it: Your idea of living with your sister was a dud. Your sister is immature and unwilling to compromise A SLUT. If she wants a future with this boyfriend, encouraging him to sneak out of his parents’ home to sleep with her won’t endear her to them when they catch on, which they will eventually SHE SHOULD JUST GET PREGNANT. It should not offend her if you explain calmly that your lifestyles are polar opposites SHE IS A SLUT, so you will be finding another place to live. Offering to help her find another roommate would be generous and should not offend her, but that responsibility should be hers. Dear Abby: My husband never wears his wedding ring. In fact, he wears jewelry only when going out. I’ve brought this to his attention many times over the years. Most recently, I noticed he donned all his “going-out jewelry” with another ring on his right ring finger. It’s as if he consciously chose to wear all the jewelry except the wedding ring. I have noticed this many times and have questioned it. His answer is always, “I can’t wear it with what I do for a living.” Abby, he works in an office by day and drives a boat in his spare time. Please help me clarify this. — Incomprehensible in New Jersey Dear Incomprehensible: I’ll try. If I had to guess, this is happening because your husband doesn’t want to be easily recognized as married REMINDED HE IS MARRIED TO AN INSECURE NAG.
  3. I remember a time when I enjoyed watching a great female athlete compete as a man...
  4. just to be clear-- I said no change in that regard. I still have occasional issues; it just hasn't worsened and can be kept in check with fiber & prudent food choices (and maybe a laxative once a month). At least for me.
  5. It was from 2017 and got his company a fair amount of attention and not just locally. Those are women's size 11 shorts he got at Walmart because he wanted the stars motif. Zach Blenkinsopp Buff & Business Attire THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE: https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/C100/DOD_HC1005686/DOD_HC1005686.mp4
  6. I saw Warren Beatty's big sister at the Palace Theater. I saw Harry Chapin's brother open for Rick Springfield at the Syracuse War Memorial. I saw Waylon & Madame at Westbury Music Fair, opening for Paul Lynde. I think it was the "Rabidly Macho Men Across America" tour. Try not to be too jealous.
  7. Not to you maybe, but had you tried to pick up a young lovely to have a three-way with, it may well have to him.
  8. You were in the paper the other day: DEAR ABBY: I am a fairly laid-back mom of a wonderful 13-year-old daughter. Her friends are nice kids, but some of them dress pretty provocatively. I have seen them wear super-short shorts that are very “cheeky” and tops that really expose their assets. We have been invited to a party at a friend’s home, and my daughter is allowed to bring a friend. The friend she has chosen to invite regularly dresses in very provocative attire, and I would feel more comfortable if I knew she was going to dress “appropriately” by my standards. I don’t know what to do. Should I talk to the parents? (Cringe!) Ask my daughter to tell her friend what the dress code is and to convey “Wear something that doesn’t show your butt cheeks”? Or must I ignore it and hope for the best? — OVEREXPOSED IN WASHINGTON, D.C. DEAR OVEREXPOSED: Many teenage girls let it all hang out in an effort to attract attention. I do not think you should talk to the girl’s mother because I don’t think your comments would be warmly welcomed. Instead, ask your daughter to talk to her friend and suggest that for THIS occasion, it would be better to cover up more than she usually does because the hosts are old-fashioned and can be judgmental — just like you.
  9. Regardless of whichever one you meant, I personally don't think any internal organ is beautiful.
  10. Meadow, the Great Dane with 15 puppies, adopted by 'amazing family' When Meadow, who is about 2½ years old, gave birth to the puppies on Oct. 10, it was the largest litter ever for Perfectly Imperfect Pups, a foster-based rescue service in Raleigh, North Carolina. Earlier this week, the puppies, now 6 weeks old, had their first checkup. All of the puppies – 13 males and 2 females – were in good health. "They are all thriving, growing and being goofy fun puppies. We ran a DNA test on them and found out they are 50% Great Dane and 50% Doberman," Perfectly Imperfect Pups said in a statement. As for their mother, Meadow has just moved to her permanent home. "She was adopted by an amazing family who fell in love with her story and then fell in love with her. She is thriving and loving being a pup and not just a mama," the rescue service said. Before giving birth to another litter in February, Meadow had been passed around to five homes since giving birth to another litter in February. Two days before Meadow had this litter, a person called the rescue service to see if it could take her because Meadow wasn't getting along with their other dogs. BITCH! The puppies are currently fostered in homes in groups of 2, 3 and 4, so the veterinary visit was a reunion of sorts for them. They got vaccinations and microchips at the veterinary hospital. “They’re healthy. They sound great. They look well. They’ve been very well taken care of by all the fosters,” veterinarian Cindy Johnson told Raleigh, N.C. CBS-TV station WNCN. “Honestly in the vet world, sometimes we get some tough days,” she said. “It’s hard to not smile when these guys come into your clinic.” The rescue service, which got more than 50 applications for the puppies, will be visiting homes of those who applied this weekend, Kincaid said. Each will be adopted individually because siblings adopted together can lead to "serious behavior issues as they age," she said. Here are the names: Otis, Scout, Bruno, Samson, Diego, Felix, Winston, Bailey, Duke, Mack, Fiona, Axel, Finn, Cosmo, Buster. They can go to their new homes after 8 weeks, which is about 1½ weeks away. With all the media coverage of Meadow and her puppies – including from local TV stations and People magazine – Perfectly Imperfect Pups got an influx of applications and donations on its Amazon wish list for the puppies. The rescue service now has a fundraiser to help pay for the puppies' care as the medical bills, 15 vet appointments and spays and neuters "are going to cost the rescue a lot," the service said. The turtle neck is much snazzier, but shouldn't they be wearing GROWL-necks? https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/animalkind/2023/11/24/meadow-great-dane-north-carolina-15-puppies-new-home/71691401007/
  11. The Fresno Sizzler closed for a month. Now it’s back, celebrating w/ freebies. The Fresno Sizzler was closed for a little more than a month while it was remodeled. Now it’s reopen and planning to celebrate. The chain restaurant that’s a Fresno favorite closed in mid-October. It reopened Nov. 17. The West Shaw Avenue location is the second in the company — which has more than 80 locations in eight Western states and Thailand — to be remodeled. It now has an updated dining room with revamped booths, electronic menu boards and improved acoustics. Sizzler also upgraded its salad bar and dessert bar, adding fresh-baked brownies and improving its ice cream topping station. FREEBIES The steakhouse will celebrate with a grand opening 11 a.m. to 3 p.m Thursday, Dec. 7, at 3121 W. Shaw Ave. The event will feature performances by Edison High School’s marching band, choir and folklórico dance group. The Bullard High School mariachi band will also perform. There will be giveaways of Sizzler merchandise, face painting, and donations to the local community.
  12. @WilliamM saw Beethoven in concert and was pissed that he only performed covers of Mozart's greatest hits. He yelled out his displeasure. Alas, his protest fell on deaf ears.
  13. The mayor of Niagra Falls told the New York Times that investigators are eyeing a possible mechanical failure that caused the car to accelerate to at least 100 mph before flying over a fence and crashing into the border crossing booth. Police told The Buffalo News that it was a 2022 Bentley sedan, which has been valued at around $300,000. The wealthy New York couple inside -- Kurt Villani and his wife Monica, both 53 -- were on their way to see KISS in concert in Toronto, a gig that was canceled when Paul Stanley came down with the flu. Obviously, Stanley got his covid and RSV shots, but forgot about the flu. Sad.
  14. They were fine when I saw them-- once by myself when I was visiting my dad in Florida and needed to get away for a night, once in college in Syracuse with 2 friends that came up for the weekend, and once at Madison Square Garden. I just LOVED his voice.
  15. Dear Abby: I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 30 years. Recently, she shared details of two infidelities that she had with other men. The first was with an individual on the staff of our church who held himself out to be my friend. My wife says it was an unprovoked attack, where he forced himself upon her. But when I asked why she didn’t resist or fight him off, she said she didn’t know and that maybe, deep down, she wanted it to happen. The second was someone she met at a bar and had developed a relationship with. When I was away on business trips, she stayed with him overnight on four occasions. She tells me these things happened more than 20 years ago and she’s been faithful since, but to put it bluntly, I am devastated and unconvinced that that’s the entire story. I believed my wife to be faithful during our marriage. I guess I was naive because, over the years, she was jealous and accused me of something nefarious if I even looked at a woman, although I never strayed. Now I’m doubting everything. Did we live a fictional life? Were we ever truly happy? How can I believe that she’s been faithful since? The fact of the matter is I DON’T BELIEVE HER. I still love her, but every time I look at her, I think about what she told me, and I’m having a hard time coping with this information. I don’t think I will ever get over this. What should I do? — Doesn’t Believe Her in Florida Dear Doesn’t Believe: I can feel your pain, and for that, you have my sympathy. You may need the help of a marriage and family counselor to figure out the answers to the questions you are asking yourself. Once you have started on that path, ask your wife to join you. Solid marriages are built on trust. Only if that can be reestablished will your marriage be healed. GET THE HELL OUT OF FLORIDA AND LEAVE THE TRAMP THERE. THAT WOULD BE A WORTHY PUNISHMENT FOR THE SLUT. Dear Abby: Three months ago, I lost my dear, loving wife (the best part of me) to cancer, COVID-19, pneumonia and heart problems. JEEZ, COLULDN’T SHE MAKE UP HER MIND AND PICK ONE? We had a great marriage, not perfect, but the happiest times of our lives. In disbelief, carrying a burden of grief, sorrow and pain, I am lonely and alone, but it is getting lighter with each passing day. I know I don’t want to spend the rest of my remaining time this way. We were together 40 years, rearing a blended family of four children. Then, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren came along. How long should I wait before considering looking around, dating and searching for someone to share my life with? I am being bombarded with interest from women I do not know, which I did not expect. — Alone in Alabama Dear Alone: Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Your loneliness, pain and vulnerability are palpable. This is why, when you start dipping your toe into the dating pool, it’s important to take your time and not rush into any “quickie” entanglements. Realize that as a senior widower, you are now a hot commodity. You will meet many women as the weeks go on. There’s a good reason why folks are advised not to make any serious decisions for a year after a loss such as the one you have experienced. Take your time and avoid jumping into any serious commitments in the coming months. HORNY MUCH?
  16. Green-eyed people are obviously descendants of a couple, one of whom had blue eyes, and one who had jaundice.
  17. I think the more pertinent question is whether you'd try to make said automobile fly in order to make a KISS concert.
  18. that you created an international incident by launching your Bentley airborne at 100 MPH into a tollbooth? Yeah, me neither. Then again, I never went to a KISS concert, so who knows if I would have?
  19. Yes, I'd imagine our knowledge has expanded greatly since 1925ish.
