There are Certain Things I’d Rather Not Remember…

Beachwood resident Rick Baron is one of only 3 people identified with the rare gift of never forgetting, anything, ever. Well almost. If given a date Rick can recall with startlingly clarity what happened on that day. From school photos, to bad dates, the PD puts Rick to the test. Rick is currently being studied at The University of California. No word yet on how his memory holds up after a 12-pack, but he’s at a college, so we should know soon. Man, you’d probably feel like a real asshole if you forgot his name after meeting him.

Most Boring Ban of All Time?

Cleveland couple Brenda and Gerald Moran have been banned from Royal Caribbean Cruises for life. Sound interesting? Scandalous, even? Well it’s not. The couple, who have been taking one or two Royal Caribbean cruises for the past three years, were banned because of their constant complaining. It seems that after every cruise the couple would report their disappointing experience at a cruise review site known as cruisecritic.com. Royal Caribbean offered the couple numerous perks on each subsequent cruise, but still received complaints. Finally Royal Caribbean dropped this, “Having concluded that we are unable to meet the expectations of the Moran’s, we have told them that they would be best served by sailing with another company.” Here’s a question, how many times do you go back to a restaurant you were disappointed with? How many times do you re-purchase a product you know sucks? Probably zero and cruises cost a lot more than dinner or a pair of shoes. So why keep going on cruises you know you won’t like? Could it be simply so you can complain and get free shit? Looks like that backfired. But hey, I’m not one to complain.

Fox Out Does Themselves Today!!

Where to start… Let’s see, a 33-year-old Lakewood man who was already indicted for his plots to blow up two high schools, plots he was working on with a 16-year-old, is now also being charged with owning kiddie porn after the cops hit up his computer. What an asshole. Meanwhile Fox goes the “Who’d a thunk?” route with a story on Canton arresting people who don’t cut their lawns. What a surprise. Also, those of you waiting on your heroin order, don’t hold your breath. It seems the FBI discovered flights going from Cali to Cleveland were packed full of the drug and busted three men involved in the transport. What a high. Still, those guys didn’t do anything half as evil or devastating as some choir nerds at Willoughby South High School who sprayed their director with silly string at the close of a performance. What a tragedy.
