IT NEVER GOES BAD.
new art project by Sally Davies photographs a Happy Meal every day for 137 days.
Dehydrated, sure, but the old and the new don’t look so different:

Not sure what to do with all those frequent flier miles? Trade them in to get hotels when your house is foreclosed!
Sound wacky? Not too wacky for Jim Kennedy, a 46-yr-old exec from Newport Beach. He lost his job over 2 years ago, and when his unemployment dried up his house was taken, leaving the man homeless and penniless.

But he’s a resourceful chap. The ex-corporate-development manager took his bankrupt ass to a variety of free breakfast hotels and motels with his over one million frequent-flier miles and rewards points he accrued in his career.
Dude may be poor, but he’s not giving up the luxury items he loves: He still drives a leased BMW, but tries to keep his food budget to $5 a day. Ah, priorities..
Kennedy estimates his million miles will stretch about five months, according to reports.

MURFREESBORO, TN (AP)– Police have detained a man for passing out whilst making meth in the backseat of his car New Years Day. An employee at a gas station called the cops when the man stayed at a pump for over one hour. Upon police arrival they found a batch of methamphetamine cooking in the back seat.
Nathan E. Beasley, 31, is being held for being held for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended license, reckless endangerment and manufacturing meth.
KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) - Prosecutors are looking into claims that a woman called 911 30 times within a 6-month period for non-emergency reasons. The 53-year old faces charges of 911 abuse for calling to complain when her husband refused to eat his dinner.
Portland, Oregon reigns when it comes to homebrews, yet there are still some people trying to make their mark in the already saturated market. The 80 men that set to work this weekend may just have the trick: strange, strange ingredients.
A well known homebrewer by the name Michael Brown teaches classes at F.H. Steinbart, my kinda supply store. They are free, and people make the sweetest concotions.
“By brewing your own, you can make just the beer you want,” Brown said. “When was the last time you saw an ordinary bitter on tap in a pub? When did you last see a 60-shilling Scottish ale or a peanut butter porter?”
He knows odd brews because he’s made beers with ingredients such as ham and cheese; Bac-O-Bits; peanut butter and chocolate; and Nutella. His CXI Pumpernickel Ale is the 11th anniversary Widmer/ Oregon Brew Crew Collaborator beer, and yes, pumpernickel bread is an ingredient.
I WANT PEANUT BUTTER BEER! (I could do without the bacos, I think, though I’ve heard good things about the bacon martini)
So once a bunch of old dudes in WIGS decided that healthy strong revolutionaries should be able to band together and fight the man. As brothers. In wigs. Clearly, though, this second amendment crap has gotten out of hand.
I can think of plenty of people who need guns, and many who have justifiable wants….but quadriplegics? Really? They can’t even shoot!
Or can they?
A NJ judge has granted a quadriplegic from Somerville the right to bear arms. On his wheelchair.
The 46-yr-old will use his firearms ID to buy a gun that will operate through a breathing tube.
A strip club isn’t the only place in town you can see a pole dance — amazed passengers on an L train watched in awe as a naked young woman competed with straphangers for space on a pole.
That show, as well as others along various metro lines, were the creation of photographer Zach Hyman, 22.
The photographer and his volunteer models don’t spend much time on location. The model quickly disrobes and Hyman gives himself only 30 seconds to fire off 10 shots with his Hasselblad 500 film camera.
Alex Reisner, a 20-year-old Columbia student, had a very appreciative audience when she disrobed in Chinatown.
When Hyman snapped her jumping in the air in the middle of the street, the crowd burst into applause.
“There was so much adrenaline,” she said. “I was bouncing around for the rest of the day. I told him I want to pose nude every weekend.”
Hyman noted that “photographing females in public is easier than males.
“People see a naked woman and they smile,” he said. “They see a penis and they freak out.”
dude’s name is HYMEN.
ST. CHARLES COUNTY, MO — Danny Bampton, only 9 years old, died after attempting to save an injured duck in the road. His mother pulled their car over Wednesday and let him out to pick up the duck when he was hit by a Subaru going in the opposite direction.
The accident was…accidental.
Danny was scheduled to start the fourth grade Monday at the St. Joseph School in Josephville.
EPPING (Union Leader)– Police took the unusual step last Sunday of seizing a barking dog from a Camp Lee Road residence after neighbors got fed up and complained.
Epping police Sgt. Jason Newman said the dog was removed by police because it had been barking much of the day outside the residence while owner Lorraine Neal was away. When Officer Bradley Jardis was unable to locate Neal, the dog was taken to the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Stratham until she returned home and retrieved the dog.
Though it was a first offense, Neal was cited yesterday for her barking dog and will now have to go before a judge, who will decide whether she should be fined. Neal did not return a phone call seeking comment yesterday.
According to state law, a dog can be considered a “nuisance” if it barks for sustained periods of more than 30 minutes or during the night hours, disturbing the peace and quiet of a neighborhood. The law exempts dogs used for guarding, working or herding livestock.
The barking can lead to fines of $25 for the first offense and $100 for a second or subsequent offense in the same 12-month period.
Shelbyville, TN- A couple has been arrested on domestic assault charges with dangerous weaponry — Cheetos.
Warrants filed after 40-yr-old James Earl Taylor and 44-yr-old Mary S. Childers heatedly argued.
According to an officer’s report, the pair became “involved in a verbal altercation” with each other “at which time Cheetos potato chips were used in the assault.”
“There was evidence of the assault,” the report read, “however no physical marks on either party and the primary aggressor was unable to be determined.”
Both Taylor and Childers were charged by Roddy with domestic assault. Both posted a bond of $2,500 and will appear in Bedford County General Sessions Court on July 15.
