Promise: That’s not me.
As much as it looks like me in my younger days, I vow that I have never been a hairstylist in Chicago.

Which is weirder: that Amazon would recommend these two seemingly miles-apart albums to me, or that it’s absolutely spot-on?

Following hard on the heels of a story that my wife capitalized on earlier this month, here’s another one about another man in the UK whose inordinate trust in his GPS landed him in the middle of trouble. Granted, the dude was as drunk as a skunk, but still….
C’mon, folks. The windshield is there for a reason. There’s no such thing as an IFR rating for driving your car.

Hm. A woman would would spend $53,000 to clone her dog winds up being the same person who abducted, imprisoned and repeatedly assaulted someone 31 years ago? Sounds about right. No mystery here.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A woman who made news around the world when she had five pups cloned from her beloved pit bull Booger looked very familiar to some who saw her picture: She’s the same woman who 31 years earlier was accused of abducting a Mormon missionary in England, handcuffing him to a bed and making him her sex slave.
Dog lover Bernann McKinney acknowledged in a telephone call to The Associated Press on Saturday that she is indeed Joyce McKinney, who in 1977 became a British tabloid sensation when she faced charges of unlawful imprisonment in the missionary case. She jumped bail and was never brought to justice.
Through tears, she explained that she went public with her efforts to replicate Booger, who died two years ago, hoping people would be able to focus on that story rather than the ”garbage” of the past.
”I thought people would be honest enough to see me as a person who was trying to do something good and not as a celebrity,” McKinney told the AP. ”My mother always taught me, ‘Say something good or say nothing at all.”’
”I think I gave people too much credit,” she said.
British tabloids first recognized the blond woman’s smiling face when she appeared in news photographs this past week with the five pit bull pups she paid South Korean scientists $53,000 to clone.
