The 100% Bacon Burger!

<--- My heart!



California burger chain Slater's 50/50 may be bringing home the bacon, now that its menu features a burger made of 100 percent ground bacon. Not to gild the lily, but the Fourth of July-inspired The 'Merica burger comes topped with a slice of thick-cut bacon, bacon island dressing, and bacon flavored cheddar cheese. It's only nonbacon topping is an impressive sunny-side-up egg.
Foodbeast notes that Slater's 50/50 has already made a name for itself by offering its flagship burger made of half ground beef and half ground bacon. Sadly, the three Slater's stores will only be offering the all-bacon burger through the end of July.
The month-long feature comes on the heels of previous burgers-of-the-month, including a Pulled Pork Burger and a Chili Cheese Frito Burger.
And if the bacon burger isn't enough for you, Slater's offers several other bacon-themed novelties, including a bacon brownie and the Bakon Mary, a twist on the Bloody Mary cocktail featuring bacon-infused vodka, a rim of bacon salt and a slice of thick-cut bacon as garnish.

Man Blames Gropefest On Coffee

A Washington state school bus driver said at his sentencing hearing he groped teenage girls and women because he had consumed too much caffeine.
Kenneth Sands, 51, who was charged with five counts of fourth-degree assault, told the judge at his Tuesday sentencing he had consumed too much caffeine prior to the events of Oct. 18, KOMO-TV, Seattle, reported Thursday.
"That caused a psychotic episode," Sands said. "My son-in-law and daughter had never seen that kind of behavior from myself."
The Lewis County sheriff's office said Sands, a driver for the Rainier School District, was attending a volleyball game in Onalaska Oct. 18 as a spectator, not a driver, when he allegedly touched a 46-year-old woman's breasts three times and grabbed her buttocks when she tried to get away from him.
He also allegedly grabbed a 15-year-old girl's buttocks outside of a bus after the game and slapped a 16-year-old girl's behind as she was boarding the vehicle.
The sheriff's office said Sands got onto the school bus and touched a girl in an inappropriate manner before being kicked off by the driver.
Sands was sentenced to 30 days in jail for each count.

Grannies Pot Cookies Get 3 Year Old Mega High

The grandmother, who has been diagnosed with cancer, had a doctor’s recommendation for marijuana to treat her pain and to help her sleep, Sgt. Phil Gomez said. Days before, she had baked THC oil into a batch of cookies and tucked them away in a garage refrigerator. THC is the active chemical in marijuana.
Murrieta police were called out to the family’s house in the 24000 block of Cambria Lane about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 30, after the toddler did not wake up despite a long night’s sleep and the family realized he might have eaten the cookies.
An aunt had been babysitting the boy and his younger sibling Friday while the father was out, Gomez said. When the father returned that afternoon, he noticed crumbs on the garage floor but assumed the child’s grandmother had been into the cookies.
The boy was playing and seemed fine, but he fell asleep about 5 p.m., Gomez said. The family did not become alarmed until the next morning when the child was still asleep at 9:30 a.m., Gomez said. He was breathing but they couldn’t wake him up.
At that point, Gomez said, the father mentioned the cookie crumbs and the family put two and two together.
The grandmother told police that a silver-dollar-size bite had been enough to make her sleep.
The boy was admitted to a hospital for observation and later released.
“No one knows how much he ate,” Gomez said.

Sparkler Bomb Blows Up, Blows Off Hands

<--- Real live sparkler bomb in action!

A 19-year-old Kenner man remains hospitalized after a homemade "sparkler bomb" went off in his hands late Tuesday night.
The device, made from 144 sparklers wrapped in duct tape, went off when Daniel Duzac tried to remove the fuse.

Walmart Madness #25! Shoplifting Shopping List

Police are sifting through more than 180 pieces of evidence after they said a group of people went to Walmart with a list of things to steal.
As usual, Brimfield Police Chief David Oliver has some interesting, and humorous, insight into the bizarre crime.
“I am left to wonder what possesses a person to have them ‘take orders’ for merchandise from their friends and then jump into a vehicle with three cohorts and drive to the Wal-Mart in order to fulfill those requests by stealing everything on the list,” Oliver wrote on the department’s Facebook page.
Oliver said the group spent about five hours doing some “slow-motion looting” at the Brimfield Township Walmart before police were notified about the “suspicious people.”
Here are a few things from the four-page shopping list: Degree deodorant, headphones, six thongs, toilet scrubber, toys for a 2-year-old, “KAKY” pants, “cute” underwear, socks, Febreze candles, “a couple packs of meat”, multiple sets of sheets, water balloons, gift wrap and squirt guns.
Brimfield police said the items were requested by people named “TG”, “Budda” and Alicia. Based on the list, socks and underwear were in high demand.
“Most of this stuff was actually stolen and recovered by Sgt. McCarty and Officer Dumont,” Oliver posted. “I know this, because there are 41 pairs of underwear being entered into evidence as I type this…. Along with some thawed out mozzarella sticks, and 130-plus other random items.”

No Refund? That's A Store Smashin'!

Police were called to the shop at 4.25pm on Saturday after reports of an ‘aggressive customer’. A spokesman for T-Mobile said the incident had started when a customer requested a refund which was refused because the customer was not deemed to be entitled to it. There were seven members of staff and ‘a number of customers’ in the store at the time and all were taken outside the shop while they waited for police to arrive. The spokesman added that the incident was ‘very upsetting’ for staff. The store is still closed while T-Mobile takes stock of the damage but will reopen ‘as soon as possible’. T-Mobile added: “We will of course continue to work to ensure the safety – of both our staff and our customers – is of paramount importance at all times.” Jason Codner, 42, of Cannon Green Court, Salford, has been charged with a public order offence and criminal damage and is due to appear before magistrates on July 31.

Angry Birds Shut Down Mail Delivery

<--- Were gonna get you Canada!

Angry bird attacks became so profound along a street in Winnipeg last Thursday that the mail carriers had to stop service, according to CBC News. Canada Post said in a statement to customers that “due to the ongoing safety concern caused by the aggressive crows attacking your letter carrier" all mail delivery would be temporarily suspended. Officials were working to find a solution to the avian incursion, the statement said.

“It’s not a normal hazard our carriers face everyday,” Canada Post representative Steven Keown told CBC.

The seemingly very angry birds have also started to target residents on the street, dive-bombing them as they leave their homes, according to victim Bernice Sokol. "He [the crow] followed me all around. I'm scared to go down the street here," Sokol told CBC.

Angry Drunk Rams Police Station With Car

Police stopped the man on Sunday afternoon in the central German city of Braunschweig after they noticed him committing several traffic offences on his bicycle, the Bild newspaper reported.

At that point, they noticed a strong smell of alcohol on his breath and took him back to the police station to give a blood test, and charged him with being drunk in charge of a vehicle on the road.

Apparently enraged by the incident, the man then returned a few hours later in a car and slammed it into the wall of the police station - which he failed to break through.

He was seriously injured, and had to be cut loose from his wrecked car by rescue workers.

A police car was also seriously damaged, though no officers were injured.

Masturbating Man Chases Kids

<--- I couldn't resist the temptation to put Herbert in here.




A 64-year-old Brandon has been arrested Thursday after masturbating in front of four kids and later chasing them through the neighborhood, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.
Anthony Lee Humphries was charged Thursday with four counts of lewd or lascivious exhibition in front of a minor and is being held on $7,500 bond at the Hillsborough County Jail.
Authorities say the kids spotted Humphries masturbating while naked and watching them through the open front door of his home on the 3700 block of Southern Drive. The kids ran away, but the man put on a pair of underwear and chased them down the road.
The kids hid inside a house, and when they left a short time later, Humphries chased them again, deputies said.

Humphries has denied having any contact with the children.

Man Stabbed For Not Being A Barber

A man had a gun pulled on him and was stabbed in front of his 6-year-old son in Southwest Philadelphia’s Elmwood section Saturday morning, apparently for not being a barber, according to police.
Cops said the 29-year-old victim was inside his house on 64th Street near Chelwynde Avenue giving his 6-year-old son a haircut shortly after 7:30 a.m. Saturday when a stranger came in through his front door and asked if he was a barber. The man replied that he was not and the other man left the house without incident before returning about five minutes later and asking for a haircut, police said.
When the victim told the man he wasn’t a barber and asked him to leave, police said, the man pulled a black semiautomatic handgun from his pocket. The victim grabbed the man and struggled with him, at which point the man pulled out a small knife and stabbed him six times in the arms and chest, police said.
The victim was able to force the man outside, and police said the attacker dropped his gun at that point, then picked it up and fled westbound on Chelwynde Avenue in a dark gray SUV. The man stabbed was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and listed in stable condition.
The attacker is described as a tall black man in his mid 20s with a light complexion who wore a black long-sleeve shirt and black track pants.
