It's on on Fox at nine o'clock on Thursday. Of course it's getting cancelled. Honestly I don't even know why that station even has shows. Anything that isn't American Idol or Glee gets cancelled halfway through the first season. I'm glad The Following is being allowed to live though. Awesome show.

Yeah I am kind of shocked they let The Following ride for a bit. They moved Rake from Thursdays to Fridays and you know that's such a death's door spot. Thurs at 9pm isn't too bad. House was on that night before it moved to Monday's.

Man arrested for sucking woman's toes at NC Wal-Mart, police say - WBTW-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Florence, SC

Quote:

LINCOLNTON, N.C. - Lincolnton Police arrest a man they say claimed to be a podiatrist then sucked on a woman's toes at Wal-Mart.

They arrested Michael Brown, of Concord, Thursday night.

The incident happened earlier this week.

Detective Dennis Harris said the woman agreed to try on several pairs of shoes at the discount store in Lincolnton, and that at some point during the process, the man stuck her foot in his mouth.

Harris said the man apparently tried the same thing at another Wal-Mart 15 miles away, where he told a woman he was conducting a survey on the feet of different races and nationalities.

The second woman also agreed to take off her shoes, but left when the suspect asked her to remove her socks.

Brown's charged with misdemeanor assault on a female.
Don't get that desperate Fluffy that this happens to you. :rofl:

I think that has less to do with who Elvis was than it has to do with the time period in which it happened.

I can only assume that Kevin Bacon's name recognition gives the show some leverage. Although, as awesome as Bacon's character is, Joe Carroll is clearly the star of that show. English dudes do creepy like no one else.

Moss 03-22-2014 12:54 PM

I have watched every episode of the following so far. Good show but I cant take any more of Bacons character being stupid. There has been about 30 instances of people outsmarting him, getting the drop on him, he keeps leaving people alone that he is trying to protect and they get in trouble...I will finish out season 2 because I have come this far but damn.

I'll bet it was her who hijacked it. Now she'll probably try to make it look like it was an accident.

OPINION: Was Mom right to get Marineland class trip cancelled?

Marineland is basically our version of Sea World, in Niagara Falls. People are fucking up in arms on either side about this here, especially if you read the Twitter comments in the article. Personally I don't like Marineland and won't ever be visiting Sea World when I go the US, especially after I watched Blackfish. But seriously, this lady is wrecking the whole trip for everyone. She could have simply exercised her boycott by not signing the permission slips and keeping her kid at home :rolleyes:

Burning Down 03-25-2014 12:03 PM

Oh wow, got another story for you. A result of bad police record keeping, pretty much. Toronto Police Services never cease to surprise me. I hope they compensate this family for the damage done to their house and for all the electronics they seized.

I knew long before that doco that seaworld was bad for the whales and dolphins. Did you hear about the woman working with the dolphins was killed? I haven't watched Blackfish yet but will do in a couple of days. So sad.

Just like a high-profile exhibit at a major institution, there will be a cost to attend, likely in the $30-$50 range."

"Visitors will go through heavy security to ensure that recording devices aren’t smuggled in; as an extra precaution, they’ll likely have to listen to the 128-minute album’s 31 songs on headphones provided by the venue. As Cilvaringz puts it: “One leak of this thing nullifies the entire concept.”

I doubt if many of their fans will shell out $30 to $50 bucks to listen to the album once.

And I wonder how long it will be before it gets bootlegged and shows up online for free?

BBC News - Giant rat: Swedes agog at 'Ratzilla' in Stockholm

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/image...d45ef8744d.jpg

Genuine phobia of these.

Quote:

The appearance of a massive rat in a Stockholm family's kitchen has made headlines in Sweden, where it is being dubbed "Ratzilla".

Measuring 40cm (nearly 16in) plus tail, the creature terrified the family in Solna district.

Pest controllers finally killed the intruder using an oversized trap.

Even the family cat had refused to enter the kitchen while the giant rat was in residence, father Erik Korsas told BBC News.
What a wimp :D.

When I was a kid we had two cats that slept in the laundry room which had a cat flap.

The cats were scared ****less (total wimps) and so my dad got a hammer and as the rat jumped into his woolly hat he killed it.

I could have lived a happy life never seeing that fecking rat. Then I got to see it seven more times scrolling down to say this.

When I was little our house became infested with dozens of giant filthy norwegian sewer rats that were so big and mean that they killed our cat, was the scariest thing in my short life (I was about six). Scarred me for life, to this day I am deathly afraid of sewer rats (I'm fine with tame pet rats) But none of them were the size of that thing. That looks to be about the size of a cocker spaniel. F*ck that sh*t. I don't even wanna be on the same continent with that thing.

I've heard of the same things. In theory I understand, but in real life the school is going to get more money by focusing on boy sports than on girl sports. Does it kinda suck that girls might feel left out? Sure. But I'd rather have new text books.

Women sports absolutely needs our support.

Why do only male sports gotta count?
Females like playing sports too, what happened to equal opportunities regardless of your gender?

i mean is 2014, enough of this misogynistic bullsh*t, women should be viewed as equals and shouldn't be looked down upon.

It's a little sick how we objectify women as sexual objects that only have a place in the kitchen, but this is not true, they make fine athletes as well.
