firefighters to blame for station blaze

June 26th, 2009 11:46am by stultzie

“An emergency call for firefighters to respond to a traffic crash ended in a cautionary tale for everyone…when the firefighters got a second call to put out a fire — back at their own station house…”

“It’s not unusual for firefighters to have their cooking interrupted by emergency calls. But after the fire at the Waipahu station…a reminder was issued to all O’ahu fire stations to make sure that firefighters turn off cooking equipment when responding to emergencies”

YOU’RE FIRED!

… no really. Were it up to me, someone would be out of a job.

An ambulance, a police officer, and two fire appliances were called to the address after the man’s head, arms and shoulders became stuck in the machine.


On a slightly random note, this article hails from an Australian source. I wanted to point that out to highlight the fact that a ‘fire appliance’ is their common term for ‘fire truck’, apparently?

That in itself is news to me.

Barbie: Tattooed and Knocked Up

Tattoo Barbie made her debut in London earlier this April and since then, she has been receiving mixed reviews. Some think she is neat, allowing children to customize her skin and clothes as well as their own bodies with the ‘tattoo gun’ included in the packaging, while others proclaim that Matel has lost its mind. If  the tattoos are the principle issue, then why stop with scrutiny of this doll? What about the tattoos I remember receiving in ‘goodie bags’ from birthday parties? Fairs? Prize counters at arcades? There was no controversy there, at least that I can recall.

Or maybe there is controversy because Barbie is supposed to be a role model for little girls. If THAT’S why parents are heated then maybe they should have a more active role in their children’s lives. Maybe they should realize that barbie has been, and always will be, a provocative slut with idealistic measurements  who has been  setting unattainable standards for little girls for years. Well, except for this one…

“An employee of a Langley, British Columbia, Wendy’s restaurant was handing food to a customer waiting in her car when a naked man ran between them, taking off with her fries…”

I wouldn’t even be upset. Just impressed….

should have put in the extra effort and grabbed a couple burgers, though too.

Monkey Pees on Zambian President

Banda softly shouted: “You (monkey) have urinated on my jacket,” and paused as he looked up to see the animal playing in a tree just above his chair.

“Perhaps these are blessings,” he said continuing his address amid laughter from the audience of journalists and diplomats at the State House presidential offices.

Beats getting shat on?

I wonder if he would have been so lighthearted about the matter, had that been the case.

Regardless, presidents getting peed on is still a pretty funny concept.

I’m easily amused.

And ok with that.
