Link of the Day: It's important that you know this: http://www.godhatesrags.com/



Isaac Sutton was handcuffed, taken to a juvenile center, and charged with misdemeanor battery and criminal mischief. Cause he slapped and punched the older kid. What a meanie.

Isaac's mom wasn't thrilled. Hence the reporters getting hold of this one.

"He just needs a good talking-to," Mom said. "This doesn't need to be handled in the judicial system."

What a neat idea: parental intervention. Huh.

Former Employee's Parting Shot?

The Oklahoma dept of tourism had to recall its 2005 Annual Events Guide this week, after noticing a touch late that it was filled with grammatical errors and photos that didn't necessarily make OK look...okay! Fun items included in the pamphlet are the annual Beaver OK cow manure tossing contest (photo included!) and triumphant Confederate battlers with their lovely confederate battle flag waving. Reports say that it also had factual errors.

I myself went on OK's website to order the guide, just on the slim chance that I'll get one of the pamphlets they forget to pull. Keep your fingers crossed!

More Petrified Food!

On Sept. 22, 1904, Ruth Williams of the Totty's Bend community in Hickman County baked a loaf of bread in her old wood-fired oven and gave it as a gift to her gravely ill sister-in-law, Jenny Lind Williams. And so the excitement began.

Jenny apparently was too ill to eat the bread. So a slice of the carb block went to her daughter, Pearl. Pearl, for completely incomprehensible reasons, kept the piece of bread. "I remember that she kept it wrapped in white tissue paper and showed it to people who came to visit," says her son Tim Anderson.

Pearl kicked the bucket in 1971 and willed the stale slice to Tim. So Tim is now the one who inexplicably pulls out a piece of petrified bread to show his hapless visitors.
