Yahoo!: Brass Against Singer Apologizes for Peeing on Fan’s Face as NASCAR Permanently Bans Band From Its Venue.
At least the Fuck Joe Biden Let's Go Brandon crowd has drawn a line in the sand (presumably not with pee).

Re: Weird Headlines
A woman.
A woman did that.
I don't think any male rock 'n' roller has ever peed on anyone's face on stage during a performance. Never. In the history of rock 'n' roll. Ever.
But now a woman did it.
That's progress, yesno? That's society moving forward.
Do you know how many rock concerts I went to over the years? No, of course you don't. Nobody does. I don't know. 'Course, it hasn't affected my hearing. What? What did you say?
Anyway, even at outdoor events people knew where to pee. Jeez.

*Autocorrect thinks "Foggy" is "Right". I couldn't agree more unless it means he is "right wing". Of course THAT could mean he is right winged and hunts and pecks on his keyboard with his right wing, or carries his skateboard with his right wing. I would be careful calling him a right winger though technically that is correct.

Seething and vengeful, Wendy Wein was on the lookout for the professional killer she meant to hire as she waited inside a southeastern Michigan cafe in July 2020.
Wein wanted her ex-husband dead. But she didn’t want to kill him herself and didn’t know anyone she trusted to do it for her. So she did what a lot of people do when they have a job they can’t or don’t want to do themselves — she searched for help on the Internet.
On RentAHitman.com.
What Wein found was presumably reassuring. The website promised her confidentiality. It boasted of industry awards. It showed off testimonials of satisfied customers, including one from Laura S., who had “caught my husband cheating with the babysitter.” The website bragged about complying with HIPPA, which it said was “the Hitman Information Privacy & Protection Act of 1964,” a nod to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, the law passed in 1996 to protect patients’ medical information.

She thinks her ex-husband is a pedophile but I wonder if he’s a Democrat or independent and if she’s a Q-Anon follower. They don’t say why she thinks he’s a pedophile unless the article has been updated since I read it.Jim wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 1:59 pm https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/11/22/rent-a-hitman-website/

Re: Weird Headlines
I wish to apologise for spreading misinformation on this important issue. I reread the report and
I'm glad to clear up this issue. All questions are answered now.A source told The Sun: "The guy said he found the shell when he was having a clear out of his stuff.
"He said he put it on the floor then he slipped and fell on it — and it went up his a***."

Re: Weird Headlines
I hope the press never exposes the name of the guy. He would never live this down. I'm guessing most countries have laws similar to our HIPAA.
Also, that must have been one helluva hard "fall" considering the size of the...uh...object.

Darn...why didn't we think of that. Could have funded TFB for decades with Anti-COVID necklaces and jewelry for the anti-vaxers. So what if the jewelry kills them, they survived COVID!!!Uninformed wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 5:35 pm “Anti-5G necklaces found to be radioactive”:

Man beaten with metal skillet after declining an offer of potatoes, police say
https://www.newschannel6now.com/2022/01 ... ntent=kauz
https://www.newschannel6now.com/2022/01 ... ntent=kauz
A man was arrested after being accused of beating another person with a metal skillet who refused an offer of potatoes, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Police say a 27-year-old man was frying potatoes in hot oil with a metal skillet and offered them to a 32-year-old victim who declined.
That’s when the man became “suddenly enraged” and threw the hot frying oil and potatoes into the victim’s face without warning, according to police.
Authorities said he went on to beat the person so hard with the skillet that the handle snapped off.
