Redstar Fall



Fascinating game, a cross between Jenga and Tetris.

Fatty's Furtive Firearm Failure

Obese Texas inmate hides gun in his flabs of fat

HOUSTON — An obese inmate in Texas has been charged after officials learned he had a gun hidden under flabs of his own flesh.

Twenty-five-year-old George Vera was charged with possession of a firearm in a correctional facility after he told a guard at the Harris County Jail about the unloaded 9mm pistol. The Houston Chronicle reported Thursday that Vera was originally arrested on charges of selling illegal copies of compact discs.

The 500-pound man was searched during his arrest and again at a city jail and the county jail, but officers never found the weapon in his rolls of skin. Vera admitted having the gun during a shower break at the county jail.




I started to post the photo of the guy at the above link, then thought I'd go find an animation or clipart to illustrate this story.

You know, try to make it funnier than it already is.

If you'll go look for yourself, you'll find out why I decided against it.

More Cast Away Visitors

Checking the Feekjit counter just now, I noticed several hits in a row from Ireland, England and the Netherlands from search results on this blog's Cast Away posts. There's always an increase in visits when the movie is aired here in the U.S., so I figured it must have been shown on the BBC, and sure 'nuff, checking their website's Cast Away listing, it came on earlier this evening. (England is six hours ahead of CST here in the Panhandle)

In case you've stumbled across this blog and did not know that we're up at or very near the top of search results for the movie locations, here are the posts:

Cast Away Crossroads

Arrington Ranch House

Those are the two main posts, but I've mentioned the movie in several others.

Shoot to Thrill - AC/DC

Note: Noticed a hit on this post and saw the vid had been taken down. There are others on YouTube, but I like this one, a version w/ Iron Man footage. Enjoy!
