Sucks for You, Buddy….

Posted on June 26, 2007

So I read two reports on Fox News (ewwww….) that I wanted to share with you.

The first…

This is like when a basketball or football player tears his ACL, potentially killing any chance of a pro-career…

A Japanese man who set a world record by wolfing down dozens of hot dogs within minutes has suffered a severe jaw injury due to his rigorous training, making his next title uncertain.

Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi said he can only open his mouth to make a gap the size of a fingertip after being diagnosed with jaw arthritis.

In an entry on his blog entitled “Occupational hazard,” Kobayashi said: “My jaw refused to fight any more.”

I watched this guy, Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi, on MTV’s True Life: I’m a Competitive Eater.

This is serious… I think this is how he makes his livelihood. That would suck so hard… it’s like me having carpal tunnel (cause I’m a web developer and stuff). Hope he gets better.

Second….

This is a very good way to discipline your child… especially if you don’t want them to end up on an episode of Maury being yelled at by drill instructors, taken to a jail overnight, yelled at by inmates, and then emerging crying and claiming they want to change their ways….

You know what the hell I’m talking about, don’t act like you don’t watch Maury…

Anyway, it beats tiring yourself out whipping her with that switch.

A Tennessee mother fed up with her daughter’s misbehavior took an unusual tack in for latest punishment, making her stand on a busy street corner with an attention-getting sign.

Tashara Wilkins, 13, held a sign Sunday reading, “I don’t obey my parents, I’m a liar. I steal from my mom. I have a bad attitude.”

“All other resources haven’t worked, so I’m making her be publicly humiliated today,” mother Cherie Wilkins told WMC-TV in Memphis. “I hope this works for her. I love my child. … I could be beating her to death, but I’m not.”

I don’t think she got to wear that sheet though… yeah, I know, crappy joke. I tried, though…

Anyway, all I can say is sucks for you…

****EDIT*****

One more “Sucks for You” story: some guy have put some of Paris Hilton’s trash for sale on eBay… I mean like banana peels and coffee grounds… that sort of trash… *waiting for it to sink in*

Do you really get how stupid that is?!?!?!

I don’t want to know what’s in her trash… or very many other people’s trash, for that matter…

And these guys have confirmation from a lawyer that what they are doing (going into someone’s trash can) is legal as long as the can has been put on on the curb and as long as they don’t trespass… and they also plan to go into other celebrities’ trash cans too.

Yeah, it’s not illegal, it’s just grimy as hell… full story here: Paris Hilton’s trash for sale on eBay.

    my friend did that sign thing on the side of the road to her son becaues he was dropping out of school and hanging on the street.

    He had to walk up and down a major street with a sign that said something to the effect that “I prefer to hang out on the street rather than go to school.”

    A lot of people praised her for doing this to embarrass her son by honking their horns and yelling out the window “Go To School!” at the boy.

    Two weeks later, her son’s father decides she is incompentent and kidnaps her son, files abuse charges on her and tries to take custody away from her.

    It’s been an ongoing battle since then but she doesn’t regret her decision to do this to her child.

    Wow, that’s really crazy. Did it actually work? I mean, before the kidnapping? The father’s reaction seems a bit extreme. But I hope it all works out for the best, especially for your friend’s son.
