At the Festville headquarters, we apparently have an issue with people consuming food/drinks from the refrigerator without permission. So much so that someone replaced the existing signage with a new sign. The old sign was something along the lines of it’s everyone’s kitchen, clean up the mess. It was recently replaced with a new sign complete with highlighting and two misspelled words. I guess when you are angry over lost food/drink you fail to proof your new banner that the whole office will now read.

I have found a solution for sandwich thievery.

So according to this website poster, some 40ish year old woman was behind on her rent, so the apartment folks went to check things out. Here’s what they found.

She either works at Whataburger or is addicted to it. Note the Resolve carpet cleaner on the table (far left) and the fire extinguisher which is on standby for cig fires.

One of many cig piles.

Nothing beats sleeping next to your favorite fast food cups.

Home row keys are cleared off. Cig ashes can’t hold the home row keys back.

Want more? There’s more.

Here’s some of the better pre/post Hurricane Ike signs…

Note the sign in the back indicating power meter on ground and water line above. Apparently, Sprint isn’t fairing well post Ike.

“A bit of humor greets drivers passing through the Westmont subdivision in west Houston. Horn made headlines last year for killing two men breaking into his neighbor’s house.”

It wasn’t the preferred way to enter the Knoxville Museum of Art, but Richard Anthony Smith told police he was on a mission. The 25-year-old Knoxville man called 911 from his cell phone before dawn Wednesday saying he was trapped in an air conditioning duct leading from the museum roof, Knoxville police spokesman Darrell DeBusk said.

Police and firefighters reached the roof, found a rope and cable and followed them to a vent shaft. Peering inside, they spotted Smith about 45 feet down.

“Mission failed,” he told them.

Hoisted up and read his rights, Smith told police he was a “special agent from the United States Illuminati, badge number 0931″ and had rappelled onto the museum from a helicopter, a police report said.

He said he was following orders to “defuse and confiscate” a Soviet-made nuclear warhead, specifically a “MERV6SS-22AN” warhead, according to the report. The bomb supposedly was hidden in a blue, plastic cow sculpture in the museum basement, he said.

However, Smith told officers his “agency” called while he was in air-vent limbo to say it made a mistake and the bomb might be in a Memphis museum instead.

Police charged Smith with aggravated robbery. He was being held on $2,000 bond at the Knox County Jail. Authorities said he did not have a lawyer.

“Fortunately he was able to reach his cell phone,” DeBusk said, “or he may not have been found for quite some time.”

At the age of 20, pint-sized He Pingping stands just over 29″ tall, the same height as the average one-year-old child.

In August 2008, the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Banksy, an internationally famous graffiti and installation artist, executed several graffiti works in New Orleans. Shortly afterward, as Hurricane Gustav was approaching the region, a piece attributed to him appeared in Ensley (Birmingham, AL).

Soon afterwards, the graffiti was spray painted over and later removed all together.

Since then, all the graffiti and spray paint has been removed and the Chevron station is back to its abandoned state.
