A friend of mine sent me this on IRC and my first thought was, “Thank God, it wasn’t someone from Alabama.” LOL!

Man Tries To Sell Dealership The Same Car He Stole From Them

If you steal a car from a dealership, don’t try to trade that car back in at the same place.

Believe it or not, that’s exactly what Jazrahel King is accused of doing at a Norwalk, Connecticut car dealership.

Employees say the 29-year-old man went for a test drive about a month ago but was turned down on financing because of his credit.

So King simply walked out, got in the car and drove off.

He then brought the car back to the very same dealership over the weekend and tried to trade it in for a bigger vehicle.

“There’s got to be something wrong with this guy to come back, just not even two months after he stole the vehicle and try to sell it to us. Sell us our own vehicle,” says Diego Centurion, the dealership manager.

King is now in jail on car theft charges.

The dealership says it is changing its policy about starting up cars in advance for test drives.

I ran across another article covering this story, at first the guy didn’t understand why they wouldn’t buy it from him. Hey genius, I don’t think it has anything to do with whether or not it has a luggage rack!

This tickled me too much not to share here …

I was idling in #firefoxes last night and asked about the “Holy fuck-a-moly!” reference in the channel topic. Lucy was kind enough to share this with me, explaining the cause/origin. It *so* sounds like something Jessie would have said, so I’m now subjecting you lot to it.

Alright, so most people’s kids have heard them swearing, so when the little ones drop oh say, the “f-bomb” at home, you don’t freak out too much, especially if you know they don’t do it around other people. Well, Gwen, our 5-year-old for those of you unfamiliar, was getting very frustrated when Battlefront II wasn’t working on the kids’ profile. It would seem to load, but the sounds weren’t playing, and if you tried to enter the training, it would just exit the program. After a few rounds of this, she started:

“Holy fuck-a-moly!”

The first time I snickered quietly and decided to ignore it, seeing how she never swears. The second time I had to ask if she’d heard it somewhere or made it up herself, she is quite creative after all. At first her answer was that she made it up, but then after a little while (and another use of it) she remembered where she heard it.

“Actually, I heard it on Berenstein Bears.”

…

“No, honey, you heard holy guacamole on Berenstein Bears.”

“Oh.”

dbCooper used to tell me all the time on IRC that I was the diet coke of evil … just one calorie, not evil enough?

I’d like to think I’m progressing:

You Are 50% Evil

You are evil, but you haven’t yet mastered the dark side. Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination.

Ok, ok, so I’m no Mikozuma, but I’m no Mother Teresa either.

Perhaps I am well-balanced?
