Somebody’s Been Busy
Did you forget MyFriendCleveland had other sections? I know I did. Well we’ve got some new shit for your reading pleasure. First is a new Secret Mustache column and second is a review of Fucked Up’s Year of the Pig 12 inch. And this is only the start! At least we hope…
Talk the Turkey
By now you should have established at least a somewhat dismal opinion of The Plain Dealer. If not, maybe you aren’t reading this site enough. But today serves as a prime example of just what I mean. The Plain Dealer’s lead story? Does it have to do with politics? Crime problems? Race issues? Economic decline? The Cavs? No, it has to do with the price of turkeys being higher in Cleveland Giant Eagles than in Columbus Giant Eagles. Thank goodness Northeast Ohio Couponers is on the case! Seems these bargain hunters are hunting a little scandal! How’s that for a headline? You can check out the stats for yourself then maybe figure out a way to get a friend in Columbus to ship you a turkey. Armageddon is upon us!
News Report or New Movie Plot?
Martial Arts Instructor has golden sword stolen and now must fight his way to its recovery! Well, sort of. An instructor from Elyria left a golden sword used in Kill Bill in his pick-up truck after a demonstration and returned to find it had been stolen. No, the man was not connected to the film at all; he purchased the apparently sharpened sword from E-Bay. And, in case you are unfamiliar with the work of Quentin Tarantino, NewsNet5 has a just fantastic synopsis. “‘Kill Bill’ stars Uma Thurman as an assassin out for revenge.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. Get ready for some high-kicking adventure!
Oh, So That’s What all Those “No Gun” Signs Meant!
The Akron Canton Journal is reporting that Akron City Council President Marco Sommerville tried to bring a handgun onto a plane via his carry on bag at the Akron Canton airport. Sommerville was not arrested, but continued on to his meeting in New Orleans, sparking some interesting questions of double standards. Sommerville could not be reached but luckily his lawyer was able to make things crystal clear by stating, “I’m unclear on all the facts, but apparently the allegation is that he had a weapon in his bag and I’m understanding there is going to be a charge coming out of it.” This well-informed lawyer went on to state that Sommerville was licensed to have the weapon and probably forgot it was in the bag because he normally brings the gun with him to late night and early morning meetings. Where or what these meetings are for is not quite clear and whether the councilman endorses everyone bringing guns to meetings is also up for debate. Lock and load.
