I Inhabit a Cultural Vacuum

I thought this story was about a Weber and was prepared to defend ours to the death. Thank God they're safe. Anyway, the first clue it WASN'T (about a Weber) was...well, you read it.

Armed 'Grill' Robbery
Missing: A mouthpiece attachment with a 14 karat gold tooth and a diamond in it.
Wanted: Four men who allegedly stole it.

Largo Police say that was the situation at Brittany Bay Apartments Monday.

A gas station clerk called 911 to report a man had run into the convenience store claiming he was being chased. When officers arrived at the Shell on Ulmerton Road, the victim had this story to tell:

After being threatened with his own knife and a gun, the suspects took his mouthpiece, also known as a ‘grill.’ They also took $130, a pack of Newport cigarettes, and a pocket knife; They left his other jewelry and a cellular phone.

He didn’t call police. The worried clerk did that.

The victim told officers he isn’t worried about the cigarettes, the cash, or the knife; all he wants returned is his ‘grill.’


"After being threatened with his own knife and gun". Yup. First clue something was amiss and it wasn't the charcoal.

On a lighter note, have you noticed Bingley's not posting much... ? Then I saw this...

Groper Arrested

The Tampa Police Department says the ‘Hyde Park Groper’ is in custody.


...and thought they were talking about the fish. What a whacky, Florida kinda day.

Is that where Bingley's been? I had assumed he was in New Orleans.
