WASHINGTON – McGruff the crime dog has been roughed up. D.C. police said the mascot, who urges children to “take a bite out of crime,” became a victim Saturday when a bus driver punched him in the face as he handed fliers to children. Police said the 38-year-old Metro bus driver, climbed off the bus, adjusted both sideview mirrors and then swung at Officer Tyrone Hardy, who was dressed as McGruff.
Police said McGruff staggered, children screamed and the bus driver drove off. Officers quickly pulled him over and charged him with assault.
Metro spokeswoman Candace Smith said the bus driver told a supervisor he was trying “to be funny.”
Smith said the driver will undergo drug and alcohol testing. His future with the agency was under review.
Ummmmm….
I want one!
Whoa! A Bob Evans sausage gravy machine? I want one for my kitchen!
The Police Beat
When police arrived, they saw a stopped, running car at a green light, facing eastbound on Speedway.When the officer approached the car, he saw the woman was asleep, with her dress pulled up to her stomach and her underwear pulled down to her mid-thighs.
The officer knocked on the window several times. She did not respond, so he opened the door and began to shake her arm. Upon opening the door, he saw a three-quarters-empty bottle of Sailor Jerry Navy Rum on the floorboard of the passenger side. There was a strong odor of intoxicants coming from the woman and the car.
After about two minutes of trying to wake her up, she awoke, saying, “No, Clint, not right now.”

3-D Boobs!
In case you haven’t heard, two commercials will air in 3-D during the Super Bowl – a 90 second trailer for DreamWorks’ Monsters vs. Aliens movie and 30 second spot for Pepsi’s SoBe Lifewater. Additionally, Monday’s episode of Chuck will air in 3-D on NBC.
As you might guess, you’ll need a special pair of glasses to catch all the 3-D glory; the free glasses should be available at SoBe displays at Safeway, Vons, K-Mart, Ralphs, Kroger, A&P, Frys, Supervalu, Food Lion, Pathmark, Coburn, Fairway, Fresh Brands, Hy Vee, Nash Finch, Dollar General and Winn Dixie (Target and Meijer are scheduled to put them out on Saturday). And oh yeah – the lenses are purple and amber in color, so if you happen to have a pair of the old red and blue glasses lying around, you’re outta luck.
So anyway, I got several pairs of the glasses today, as did Robert Seidman of tvbythenumbers.com. Robert wondered if there were any demos or anything online that would let him preview the 3-D effect. He went to the website of the company behind the new technology and managed to find this gallery of demo photos. There are around 35 pictures in the demo gallery, and Robert’s favorite was of some fighter jets. Mine was, of course, this picture (yes you’ll need the glasses to see this in 3-D):
Yes, friends… boobs in 3-D! What a time to be alive!
Actually, you know that was probably the first picture they took in 3-D, right?
Girls and Football
I just had to post this! Nextround.net has this awesome list of things “your girlfriend” said during the NFC\AFC Championships.
Here are a few of my favorites:
“I thought the Cardinals were in St. Louis. Is St. Louis in Arizona?”
“I thought you said Matt Leinart was on one of these teams.”
“You really don’t see that many black guys named Larry.”
“Which guy did you say would draw me a picture of Jesus?”
“THAT’s who Kendra is going to marry? He can’t even catch.”
“What did you mean when you said you thought it would be a Pennsylvania Super Bowl? None of these teams are called Pennsylvania.”
Funny Heineken Commercial
This cracks me up:
What’s Wrong With This?
Quick – what’s wrong with this sign?
OK, it’s a trick question of sorts… unless you speak Welsh.
You see, all signs in Wales are required by law to be in both Welsh and English. No one on the Swansea council knew enough of the tongue to translate the English portion of the sign into Welsh, so they emailed the text to a translator they’d used before. Unfortunately, the translator was out of the office, and he or she had the “Out of Office Assistant” turned on. When the Swansea council got a reply to their email, they simply assumed that this was the correct translation. And so… the Welsh portion of this sign reads…
“I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.”
Funny Pics
Hamas fires rocks into Israel. Israel strikes back. Pro-Palestinian whiners start protesting at the United Nations… only someone forgot to spell-check this guy’s sign:
Yeah, take THAT, apple, grape and cranberry! Juice shouldn’t be allowed to exist! Juice controls the media and all the banks! Juice runs this country!
What an idiot! Hey, maybe he can hang out with the Get a Brain Morans guy! And yes, the above is a real picture that has not been Photoshopped. See the original here.
