">My Big World Of Crap

We all know people who do various things to occupy themselves while they’re driving somewhere, for instance, talking on the phone, texting, fiddling with the radio/CD/MP3 player, eating, drinking, fixing up the makeup, etc etc.  Whatever, it helps pass the time, and helps them get ready for wherever it is they’re going.

What about trimming your pubes?  Ever thought of that as something you could do while driving?

Megan Barnes, a 37 year old Florida woman, obviously thought it was something she needed to take care of while driving along.  It was obviously distracting, as she ran up the back of another car while doing it.

Not only that, she was doing this while in the car with her ex-husband on her way to visit her boyfriend (somehow I think there’s got to be trailer parks involved here).    Apparently the ex was steering the car, from the passenger seat, while she was doing her gardening.

Patrol officers say they determined that in addition to this bit of "landscaping" behind the wheel, Barnes was already driving with a suspended license, just one day after she was convicted of driving under the influence.  She was charged with reckless driving, driving with a revoked license, leaving the scene of a crash with injuries, and driving without insurance. Trooper Gary Dunick, describing what Ms. Barnes was thinking, explained,

"She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit."

They start young these days.   A teacher was on yard duty during recess at Swallowcliffe Primary School at Davoren Park on Wednesday when two students threw a brick at her, hitting her in the back of the head. As she lay on the ground semi-conscious, the two students stole her office keys and stole more than $400 from her purse.

Charming!

As one parent said:

"It’s very scary, I mean, these are only 12-year-olds.”

I wonder what the parents of those kids think of it.  Probably couldn’t care less unfortunately.  Davoren Park is a disadvantaged area, and according to a Primary Principals Association spokesman:

"In areas like Davoren Park, unfortunately a lot of parents of students there haven’t been successful at school and don’t see a lot of value in school. There’s not that positive reinforcement about schools as places to go to where you can be successful,"

while a representative of the teachers’ union said this:

"In the recent arbitration case, for example, we’ve been pointing to that that staff are dealing with social problems, not just educational issues. Poverty. Violence. Neglect. All of these things are just part and parcel of a teacher’s daily work,"

I know this has been going on for years but is there anyone who doesn’t think its wrong that teachers spend so much effort trying to deal with social and family problems rather than concentrating on providing the best education for children.  It shouldn’t be their role.

But the problem of the behaviour at this particular school has been dealt with.  According to the Deputy Chief Executive of the Education Department:

"We’ve had a school assembly and spoken to the students again. The whole approach of the school, the students and the school community needs to be focused on appropriate behaviour."

So the kids have been told that chucking bricks at teachers and stealing from them is wrong.  It beggars belief that any kid more than about 3 years old doesn’t intrinsically know this (and I’m probably being harsh on most 3 year olds in this assessment).  What were their parents doing for the 7-12 years that the primary school kids had been their responsibility?  Oh hang on, all you need to be a parent is the capacity to have sex and conceive – no requirement to have even some basic life skills, parenting skills, the economic capacity to provide for them or anything like that.   (and the scary thought is that those poorly equipped to parent children tend to have more of them than people who do have the personal, financial and other resources to do it … so if we continue down the current path things will get worse over time).

I used to think Lindsay Lohan was pretty good in some of her earlier movies, like “Mean Girls” - the ones she did before she decided her mission in life was to outskank the likes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.  Seems she’s gone through a rough patch, and according to someone associated with her, looking to clean up her act in 2010.

However her efforts look to be about to be undone by the release onto the internet of a sex video featuring her.  According to the source:

“The video film is dynamite. It is pretty seedy and shows Lindsay engaged in a particular sex act which, obviously, should remain behind closed doors.

“Lindsay was desperate to start 2010 off on a good footing and this is the very last thing she needs.”

The video, for which Hustler magazine is said to be willing to pay $175k for, is only 47 seconds long, and was filmed by a waiter from a chain restaurant.

Maybe there’s a couple of valuable life lessons she should take from the experience:

1. if you don’t want everyone to see you doing the sexing stuff - don’t film it.
2. giving blowies in the toilet/booth/at the table in the local Hooters/Chilis/TGI Fridays/McDonalds/whatever it was, is a dumb idea.

Apparently some people are so taken by the planet Pandora in the movie “Avatar” that they are getting depressed and having suicidal feelings about not being able to go there. All I can say to them is “get a life”!

Fascinating to read what some of our school teachers get up to in their spare time.  

Nepean High School teacher’s assistant Sharron Anne Lee, 40, was involved in a threesome at a drunken New Year’s Eve sex party which later descended into a brawl.  Her bail hearing was told Lee, had fought with her girlfriend of three years, Carlie-Anne Bell, from Glenmore Park, in her bedroom while the man they had picked up at the Penrith Panthers club, Nikola Murgevski, watched on.  The three had continued partying at Rooty Hill RSL before retiring to Lee’s bedroom after playing "strip pool" in Lee’s backyard.  The hearing was told the fight had begun because Bell was upset that Lee was having sex with Murgevski.

The attack saw Bell hospitalised with a tear to her bowel lining and severe bleeding.  She was expected to require surgery.

Lee was charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm.  Police prosecutor Kristy Madden said the charges related to "an unusual set of circumstances" and the facts read "horrifically".

The mind boggles – obviously the assault involved something being stuck in Ms Bell’s arse, but leaves me wondering how a dildo or vibrator would have got there in a fight … strange choice of weapon.

This story has “bogan” written all over it.  Happened in western Sydney, Rooty Hill RSL and Penrith Panthers must be bogan central in terms of nightlife venues in that area, one of the protagonists has an oddly spelt name (Sharron with 2 “r”’s), the other a double barrel one, weird sex, lesbians, threesomes and fighting.  Something tells me they were probably fuelled by Bundy and Cokes, and there just has to have been Winfields smoked somewhere in the time they were together.

Next instalment in this adventure is on January 11, when it goes back to court.

Worried your 14 year old son might be a bit gay?  Simple solution according to a father from Rockhampton – take him to a (female) prostitute and get him to prove he’s not.  During a family barbecue around Christmas time in 2007, the dad allegedly phoned a prostitute and arranged to meet her at a motel on Yaamba Road, North Rockhampton. Dad paid her in cash, and she took the boy into the room while dad waited outside on the balcony, but walked in and out of the room to check on his son and told him he wanted to see a used condom as proof that they’d had sex. After the boy and the prostitute had finished the dad took his son home.

A magistrate yesterday found there was enough evidence against the father for him to stand trial for the rape of his son.

The alleged rape came to light some months after the event, when the father phoned the Child Protection Unit, and accused police of not acting on suspicions that his 14-year-old son was “abusing” his younger brother.  The dad allegedly told police he had “tried to sort it out himself by taking (his son) to a prostitute”.

There you have it, creative parenting ideas from the not so bright.  Some points for being concerned about his son’s welfare I guess, but big negatives for problem perception and for solution execution.

Some stupidity here in Canberra – and not of the usual political kind, for a change.

Two men were taken to hospital on Thursday afternoon after an altercation in the carpark at Westfield Woden shopping centre.  It is believed they argued over a carparking space.  The men are believed to have used objects to hit each other and both received head injuries which required treatment by ambulance officers at the scene and then needed to be taken to hospital.

Can’t have given each other brain damage obviously – there needs to be something there to damage!

A man in Bunbury, Western Australia was apparently having some sort of dispute with his ex-girlfriend – maybe he was not accepting of the “ex” status of their relationship.  So what does he do?  Enlists the help of his parents.  OK, fair enough, they presumably have more life experience and could well offer some useful advice and support to their son.  So far, so good.

Unfortunately, thats all the good in this story.  Son plus mum and dad went to the girlfriend’s house for a visit.  Jarrad Fitzpatrick was visiting the ex-girlfriend, apparently a childhood friend of his.  Seeing him there, they beat him to death.  According to police, he was attempting to leave when they attacked him.   They said he was punched and kicked numerous times by the family.

Kenneth John Smith, 20, and his parents Colin John Smith, 40, and Tanya Louise Smith, 38, appeared in court today charged with his murder.  Charming family aren’t they? 

Not only that, they have some pretty dodgy relatives and friends, judging by the way they behaved outside the court – abusing and threatening the media who were there to report on the matter.

….that causes extreme racism in young men around Cronulla, in Sydney.  The proud tradition of the 2005 race riots has been carried on by James Anthony Dean-Willcocks, who, after a drunken night out celebrating his 23rd birthday, came across a 67 year old Filipino man in the street at 5.30 on Saturday morning.  So he did what every young redneck does on meeting an Asian, beat him to death (allegedly of course).

Residents of Elouera Rd, Cronulla, told police of being woken about 5.30am on Saturday to a male yelling: "F–k off back to Japan."  According to one witness statement a man was heard to cry: "Help, help." One witness said he went out to his balcony and allegedly saw a man "fling the victim on to the footpath, pick up the victim, shake him and throw him to the ground."  The accused then allegedly punched him to the head and body up to 10 times. Another witness told police he saw the victim thrown on to the road, with Mr Dean-Willcocks seen "on top of the victim punching him".  One witness told police he yelled at Mr Dean-Willcocks to stop, asking what he was doing.  "Mate, he is Japanese and he deserves it," the accused allegedly answered. 

Stunned onlookers prevented Mr Dean-Willcocks leaving the scene until police arrived.  He has since told police he has "no recollection" of the incident and his last memory was "some time in the early hours of the morning" while he was at the Mercure Hotel in the Sydney CBD. He does not know how he got to Cronulla.

The answer to that last question is some sort of magnetic attraction – Cronulla being racism central just draws them as if by magic.  I have a feeling Dean-Willcocks may well have been there before, like in December 2005.

Among the guests at the Australian Football League’s Brownlow Medal presentation last night were medical entrepreneur Geoffrey Edelsten and his fiance Brynne Gordon.

I saw this picture last night and still can’t decide:

• was she planning to go to the beach hence the bikini top?
• did she just forget to put a blouse on over her bra?
• couldn’t she find the buttons on her top to do up?

Congratulations to Geelong’s Gary Ablett Jr on winning the medal by the way.

And go the Cats this Saturday!!!!

Callie Rogers won $3.7m in a lottery when she was 16.  At age 22 she is broke and living at home with her mother. She spent the money on booze, two boob jobs and almost $500,000 of cocaine. About $400,000 was spent on a family holiday while a large amount was also spent on a string on boyfriends.

 

She seems to have had appallingly bad taste in men.  One of them got her hooked on cocaine within weeks of her lottery win.  He blew about $1m of the money, on drugs and other goodies for himself.  He then topped it all off by sleeping with her 16 year old sister.  Despite this, she remained with him for 5 years, and has a child with him.  She then started up with a new boyfriend, also a drug dealer.  He got her back onto the cocaine, after she’d been off it for 3 years.  This winner ended up going to jail for 22 months after police found $10,000 worth of cocaine and a stun gun hidden in a cupboard at the couple’s house.

Callie Rogers, lottery winnings, cocaine, loser boyfriends

There’s definitely no shortage of stories about ugly parents carrying on like dickheads at their kids’ weekend sports, be it football, cricket, netball or whatever.  However, I’ve got to say that this one just about takes out the ugly championship for parenting.

This father:

• ASSAULTED one parent and threatened others;
• HAD to be paid thousands of dollars to quit one club;
• DEFIED a league order he not attend matches;
• LAUNCHED almost 100 legal actions against a junior coach; and
• FALSIFIED his son’s details so he could play in defiance of age regulations.

A source at one club said the foul-mouthed father took one junior coach to VCAT 97 times.  He first came to the attention of junior football authorities in 2005 when he presented false information about the age of one of his sons.  The next year, he went to another club where he allegedly threatened parents and officials before launching legal action.  The club’s insurers paid him money, on condition he leave. The man took his sons to a third club where he is alleged to have punched a parent at a junior football camp, resulting in serious charges which remain before a court.  In 2008, a fourth club allowed the boys to play on condition their father stay away. He was caught at a game soon after and forced to move his children to another league this season.

The man insists his boys win club awards and that they be played in prominent on-field positions.  According to one of those on the wrong end of this guy’s dickheadery, who gives him a great character assessment:

"He’s a nut,"

In other footy related fun:

• A 19-YEAR-OLD has been charged after a junior footy brawl that saw one youth hit with a mallet in Melbourne’s north yesterday.  This happened at an under-16s match between Tullamarine and Northern Saints.  A 16 year old is also expected to be charged over the fight by police.  Hands up, who thinks that its normal and reasonable to take a mallet to the footy?
•  death threats made to 2 under-10 football players in Tasmania
• a huge brawl involving about 100 youths after a rugby game in New Zealand between 2 of Auckland’s top rugby schools.

  

• a brawl at an under-12’s football match near Melbourne a few weeks ago involving players and parents, which led to teams being banned for a week and a plan devised to require parents to attend lessons on how to behave at junior sporting events before their children can be registered for the next season. What the fuck?  Lessons in how to behave like a normal person?  Maybe these fuckwits need to pass lessons in behaving like civilised human beings before being allowed to reproduce?

Isn’t kids sport fun?  Some parents should not be allowed to (a) breed, (b) failing that, be out in public.
