Things Always Get Creepy on Tuesday

Minimum Wage is Quite the Tricky Bastard

The recent elections yielded an increase to minimum wage, something a lot of small businesses can’t afford. So looks like the man’s efforts to help Blue Collar Billy actually might get him fired. Was that crass? Childish? Or, even worse, too similar to the writing style of Plain Dealer columnists? Scary thought. I’m going to stop now before I load anymore cheese onto this post. Here’s the thing worth reading.

We Are All Witnesses. Creepy, Creepy Witnesses

You know that guy who the Cavs drafted a couple years ago who is supposed to be, like, the best basketball player to ever walk the earth? You heard of him? LeBaron? Well, if you aren’t satisfied with only seeing him a few times a week sweating it up on the court, he also has his own weird site. I don’t know why I think this is so weird, but something about this page scares me.

You Can’t Say “Bomb” In an Airport

If you were making any Continental flights this morning, you may have been held up by the fact that security thought they found a bomb in someone’s bags. Turns out it was just some electronics. Probably a gameboy advance sp or something lame. Anyways, what is really suprising is that people just stood around waiting. If I were in line at the airport, and security said “there may be a bomb in this,” I’d say, “See you later, I’ll fly out tomorrow.”

Speaking of Creeps

The Plain Dealer really has an eye for detail. In an article where they talk about a 26 year old man luring 16 year old girls to Florida and then forcing them to become prosititutes, it is in the third paragraph that we learn the guy is a (and I quote) “flamboyant ‘pimp’” who wears a “gold ‘grill.’” Who cares about his “grill”? The dude’s a serious scumbag. This is going to give “customized gold ‘grills’” a bad name. I’m just proud of them for not making a Disney World joke.
