Milagros Rios, a 35-year-old waitress and single mother of two in New York City, thought she’d seen it all. But when she walked into her bathroom about a year ago to find her 18-year-old daughter Nicole laying down on the floor and sleeping with a battle of vodka and a box of tampons in her hand, it was a sight she’d never envisioned.

Nicole had been experimenting for the third time that year with a new method to become intoxicated. She had soaked tampons in vodka and then introduced them into her anus and vagina as though she were having her period, in the usual manner. She claimed her body absorbed the alcohol faster that way than if she had drank it. Soon enough, she lost control and couldn’t even make it back to her bedroom. She did it to avoid having the smell of alcohol on her breath.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — A Charlotte teenager fell from the 12th floor of a hotel and survived. It happened early Wednesday morning in Myrtle Beach.

Police believe William Panas and his friends were goofing around when Panas fell from the 12th floor, and hit a ledge and landed on the 10th floor.

Paramedics took Panas to a local hospital. The incident report said Panas was intoxicated at the time of the accident. It also said the victim’s nurse told officers he was “conscious and talking” Wednesday night.

Thursday, Panas was in the surgical intensive care unit at Grand Strand Regional Medical Center.

they might as well have made the headline read “boy falls from 1000th floor”, and bury somewhere in the article that he landed on the 998th.

the chevron near my office is always a few cents more expensive than most of the gas stations in the area, but this morning i was on empty and figured i’d just put in $20 so as not to pull a ben.

my car requires premium, so at $3.959 per gallon, my jackson barely got me 5 gallons of gas! at least it can’t go any higher.

yesterday when i was chomping on my morning breakfast burrito, i accidently swallowed a peice of super crispy bacon without chewing it and i could feel it scraping along my esophagus all the way down to my gut. it only took a few seconds to get down there, but i could kinda feel my esophagus for the rest of the damn day, and everything i ate felt like it was as sharp as that damn bacon.

chew your food guys!

ben posted something similar to this the other day, but this is on a bigger scale. freaky!

man, even the pets in northern(ish) california are laid back, pot smoking liberals. these guys were just walking around jenga-style up and down state street.

the best part was when this little kid ran up to them and was like “how is that possible?!, that’s just not right!” he seemed pretty agitated by it. anyway, i’m off to buy a rat and give this a shot.

at first i thought this was about a giant, but turns out that trendy blond haired indian is only 2′ 9″! little romeo claims to be the strongest dwarf in the world, but i bet my cat could still tear that boy up.

thanks for the link james!

on my short drive to work this morning while i was on marine ave going through hawthorne there was a forced california drivers license checkpoint, with about 30 police cars on the scene. i assume it was part of some crackdown initiative on unlicensed drivers, or maybe it’s more of an immigration thing trying to crack down on illegals and look out for terrorists? they were pulling lots of people over that i guess either didn’t have their license or looked shady for whatever reason. i flashed my license and they let me through without even really looking at it, i guess i didn’t fit the profile for whoever they were looking for.
