Banished to Alberta for one year: Newfoundland crook handed ancient punishment

This is somewhat strange... Canada has plenty of wilderness to properly banish him. Give him some survival gear and drop him off somewhere in the Yukon. See if he learns the errors of his ways...

 

I always think, "Loosie, you got some 'splaining to do."

That's why I started calling him 'Loosie' a long time ago. From his cryptic posts.

Andrew Sawyer, a spokesperson for Raleigh-Durham International Airport, has also confirmed that the plane in question was never even evacuated, but deplaned “normally” after landing. The airport’s comments do suggest that at least one passenger was affected by an odor issue after leaving the aircraft.

 

Two in a row, I know... but this one is really, really weird!

"A bluish foreign body" turned out to be a "hard mass" of 17 lenses stuck together with mucus, and 10 more were then found under further examination.

This is amazing! I was just listening to a local talk show host and he started to mention this incident when the link went dead. I was getting online to read about the rest of the story when I saw your link.

I have been planning a trip to the Couer D' Alene bike trail in Idaho. Yesterday I was on a ride thinking about the trip and the trail while I was listening to a talk show. Within minutes of me thinking about the trail, a woman called in with the name of Alene.

Pretty spooky.

I don't know why you didn't pick this one on the same page:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-40627847

Is that because:
1) It isn't weird to be killed in your "pyjamas" by a police officer in the U.S.?
2) We're ignoring police murders because the War on Cops Thread was closed by mods?
3) That story wasn't posted at the moment you read about the contact lens issue?
4) Other?

I'd say its #4 ... a sad piece of news like that one is not weird anymore...

 

I'd say its #4

I'd say you picked #1:

that one is not weird anymore...

 

I'd say you picked #1:

My bad, I didn't read the list thoroughly... I only have a three-item buffer, and when I read #4 I had forgotten about #1

 

Oh, the humanity! The greatest air disaster since the Hindenburg. http://thehill.com/homenews/media/3...the-airline-rosa-parks-after-delta-tweetstorm

 

Why even a possible spawn of Satan would fly Delta when another choice would be either Spirit or Frontier airlines is weird.

Truck-van collision, big explosion in china:

What was maybe in that exploding van.

There is concern that the flame-throwers could become the latest dangerous gadget to become popular in China, following a fad among some children for tiny crossbows which can shoot toothpicks or needles.

This dude totaled my wife's car this morning cops were going to let him walk until I told them I just got off the phone with a few of my law enforcement friends and just waiting to obtain his name, I said if you haven't done a background check and I find out he has priors there will be hell to pay.

This is just one offense, the guy has a rap sheet a mile long, he was bailed 4 hrs later.

Television reality show gets too real.
http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/07/19/film-crew-robbed-at-gunpoint-in-downtown-oakland/

OAKLAND — Four members of a crew filming a television reality show in downtown Oakland were robbed at gunpoint Monday night of $50,000 worth of equipment and personal items, according to a victim and authorities.

The head of the crew said he was thrown up against a wall and that he and the other victims were forced to lay on the pavement, where the two robbers put guns to their heads and threatened them

Chris Burns, 37, an independent director of photography for the AwesomenessTV production “This Is Summer,” a reality show that follows eight 17-year-olds growing up in the Bay Area, said Wednesday the robbery “was really, really scary. It’s the most terrifying robbery I’ve ever been a part of.”
...
“Oakland is a great place to shoot,” he said.

Oakland is also a great place to get shot.
