Semi-Charmed Life

I appeared in court on Friday for what I now refer to as the MetroLink Fiasco of ’06.

Waiting in the hallway for the court doors to open, I found myself surrounded by idiots.  I was also the only Caucasian in sight; not that there’s anything wrong with that. 

One guy announced that he had bus tickets for sale.  Someone quickly replied that if he had $10, he would buy some.  “Those gonna go quick” he added.

A rather large woman stood next to me playing with her cell phone.  The bus ticket salesman told her that she had better put it away or the court would take it.  She yelled, “How they gonna take my cell phone when they don’t pay my beals?”  Classic. 

Still, another guy wearing a Tupac-style bandana was pacing the floor talking to himself.

I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.  I was the first person to be called, plead guilty, and paid my fine.  I exited the courthouse to the streets of downtown St. Louis where I was promptly asked if I wanted to buy some bus tickets. 

Several brawls and shootings erupted in Las Vegas during the NBA All-Star weekend.  Why is this not getting more air time than the death of Anna Nicole Smith or Britney’s hairdo?

In case you haven’t seen it yet, Britney shaved her head.  This chick is running out of places to shave.

Hooters introduced a new energy drink that is scheduled to hit store shelves this spring.  I bet it comes in really big cans.  Heh, heh, I said big cans.

Reporter crashes ATV during live broadcast.

Joe Rogin confronts Carlos Mencia for being a hack.  (Warning: Contains profanity.)

I don’t know what this smokin’ hot weather girl is saying, but I watched her forecast anyway.

I want something else.
