I staked out the Best Buy a few times leading up to the mission. I wanted to figure out the exact shade of blue they used for their uniforms. One detail I noticed is that all employees wore belts and black shoes. I figured it would be against policy to film in the store, so any cameras we used would have to be somewhat hidden. In addition cameras could also be “hidden” in plain sight by using Best Buy’s demo cameras to document the mission. All we would have to do is bring in blank tapes and memory cards to insert in their own video and still cameras.

I sent out an email to my mailing list to recruit agents. I didn’t want to give away the exact nature of the prank for fear of word spreading to Best Buy employees ahead of time. I had to be as vague as possible and still make sure everyone wore the correct clothing.

So what happened? 80 people showed up dressed as Best Buy employees and entered a NYC store.

After about fifteen minutes of staggered entrances, all 80 agents were in the store. Not noticing the lack of Best Buy logo and nametag, customers immediately started asking our agents for help.

Security guards and managers started talking to each other frantically on their walkie-talkies and headsets. “Thomas Crown Affair! Thomas Crown Affair!,” one employee shouted. They were worried that were using our fake uniforms to stage some type of elaborate heist. “I want every available employee out on the floor RIGHT NOW!”

Eventually the police came and everyone left.

So some T.O. hater and Eagles fan has created a sweet video using T.O. music…yes, he sings over it.

Bosses at a Stockholm hospital have asked a nurse called Jesus to change his name, after concerns that it might cause confusion among patients.

According to Jesus, an auxiliary nurse at Huddinge hospital, his superiors were worried that patients told “Jesus will be coming soon ,” might get the wrong idea.

“If they thought that Jesus was coming they might believe that they were already dead,” the nurse told The Local.

Jesus, who will now use his middle name Manuel, said he didn’t have a problem with the change.

“I understand why they wanted me to use my middle name,” he said.

But, he added, “my name never usually causes me problems.”

Story

Mincayani is born into the most violent society ever documented by anthropologists, the Waodani in the eastern rainforest of Ecuador. As he grows he learns what every Waodani understands, he must spear and live or be speared and die. Mincayani’s world changes when he and his family kill five missionaries, Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming and Roger Youderian. This incident propels Mincayani’s family group down an extraordinary path that culminates in them not only departing from violence, but also caring for the enemy tribe they had once violently raided.

An interesting part of making the movie is about the plane that you’ll see in the movie. Here’s what the movie website says about it:
“Nate Saint’s airplane became a main character in the movie, just as it was a key part of the missionary’s original plan in Ecuador. His son, Steve Saint, found another PA 14 plane just like the original and fixed it up to use in the film. The only thing missing, however, was the registration numbers that gave the plane its name, the “56 Henry.” Since you can’t just paint someone else’s registration number on your plane, Steve had to contact the FAA and find out who owned that number. Steve called the owner and the person on the other end said, “Are you Nate Saint’s son?”

She knew the story from reading the book Through the Gates of Splendor and she gave him the number to use on the plane. It dawned on her, after owning the book for thirty years, that the number on her plane matched the number of the plane from the book. She knew when Steve called that he was calling about the N number and she gladly gave it to him.”

This movie opens Friday, January 20.

Administrators at the University of Miami ordered the student who blogged a raunchy rap song recorded by members of the football team to leave campus housing for the remainder of the semester.

The order for student Kyle Munzenrieder came in a hand-delivered letter on Monday afternoon from UM Dean of Students William Sandler, Jr.

Munzenrieder was told he had to turn in his room key and vacate his room by 5 p.m.

The chain of events leading to Munzenrieder getting booted out of campus housing began last week when he blogged a nine-minute song — featuring current UM football players — on the Internet.

Munzenrieder’s blog, which included a link to the song, got picked up by ESPN.com. The group called itself ”The Seventh Floor Crew,” referring to team members who lived in Mahoney Residential College (campus housing), according to Munzenrieder’s blog.

A Mount Pleasant congregation is dealing with the loss of their church after they say some one broke the locks off a trailer and stole it.

“We found the lock shattered on the ground and the simply took the trailer away.” Said Jeremy Howell Pastor of Point Hope United Methodist Church.

Standing in an empty parking lot minister Jeremy Howell describes what he saw Sunday, after one of his church members told him that their church, which was housed in a trailer, was gone.

“Our Alter was in that trailer, our hymnals were inside the trailer we had a lot that were close to our hearts, > said Howell.

Pastor Howell calls the trailer was their church on wheels.

When it was not in use it was parked at Mount Pleasant’s Tire and Auto specialist next to Highway 17 in plain view.

Every Sunday church members would pick it up and tow it to Jennie Moore Elementary where they would worship.

Church member Bill Yaeger was supposed to pick up the church on Sunday but when he arrived all he saw were tire tracks.

“It was kind of shocking, at first were as a congregation were mad, but then we realize that we just have to pull through,” said Yaeger.

Church officials say the trailer is a white challenger trailer made by homesteader.

It’s 10 feet long with three doors, two on the back and one on the side and it does not have a license plate.

Jim Dunaway says…

The NFL is “The Greatest” organization in sports… but sometimes that comes with some baggage. New 49ers coach Mike Nolan has petitioned the league to wear what he wants on the sidelines during games this season. Nolan wants to wear a suit. Not a Santa Suit. Not a Space Suit. A Business Suit. You remember the Business Suit, it was what men use to wear when Men Were Men. It’s what Lombardi and Landry wore on the sidelines. It’s what Mike’s dad, Dick wore when he coached the 49ers in the late sixties. Mike wanted to wear the suits to portray a real business atmosphere. He also wanted to honor his father.

The NFL said NO! The league issues golf shirts, sweat shirts, jackets, hats, etc. for each coach. The coaches select their game wear from a small pool of options. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Nolan tells the San Francisco Chronicle, “I must say looking at the pictures of my dad - they are all around my office - I thought, ‘I’m going to do that.” ” Nolan added, “But they are not going to let me.”

Come on Commish, let the man dress like a man.
