Sick of Electricity? Didn’t Think so, but Just in Case…
Lehman’s Hardware in Kidron has been selling non-electric products for years, and strangely doing damn good at it. From the Amish, to Y2K freaks, and now those “green” lovers, the store has had a steady customer flow. Some people come for electric-free cabin accessories like propane-powered refrigerators, while others come for the “cool stuff” like, “more than 30 types of axes; a dozen varieties of pitchforks; hundreds of hunting knives; simple to ornate lanterns; copper kettles; railroad kegs; self-contained toilets; wringer washing machines; and the Enterprise Monarch, the world’s most decorative coal- and wood-burning stove.” Since when were axes cool? Did I miss out some lumberjack movement? Is flannel back in? Shit, I think I got rid of all of mine. Ah, whatever, I guess carrying a pitchfork around would be pretty badass. Go green or go home.
Bulletproof Backpacks, Motherfucker!
Two Boston dads have designed bulletproof backpacks. No, really. The backpacks are relatively light and are beginning to sell well on the men’s website. Still, Cleveland area school officials are bringing out the nay saying. “There is a huge difference between feeling safer and actually being safer,” says Kenneth Trump, president of the Cleveland-based National School Safety and Security Services. “Calls for bulletproof backpacks, arming teachers and using textbooks to deflect bullets may sound good to desperate parents, but the ideas are basically impractical to those who understand schools and kids.” I don’t know, the backpacks are also supposed to protect against machetes and hatchets, which we all know are “cool” and readily available at Lehman’s hardware, so maybe these aren’t a bad idea. I always thought textbooks were bulletproof.
Tattoos are Quite the Rarity
It’s that time of week again! You know, when I get to play Vanna White and roll out the most recent FUGITIVE OF THE WEEK!!!!!! Now that the applause has died down let’s be real serious here. This woman is going to be real real real easy to catch. You want to know why!? According to U.S. Marshal (what do they know, they couldn’t even catch the man with one arm when he killed Richard Kimble’s wife) Marshal Peter J. Elliott reports that Tammy Copen is “easily identifiable” because “She has tattoos on both of her forearms.” BAM! There it is! Look for a woman with tattoos on both forearms and then call the mother fucking police!!! We can do this! Whoooooo! Yeah!!!!! Oh, sorry about that, justice just gets me real riled up sometimes. Here’s the link.
