Human garbage

Assholes, Rants
Two more deserving recipients of the AprilRoad.com Rants and Observations AOTW Award... Jill from Chelco Farms Rescue recently reminded me about the case of David Whiffin and Clayton Cunningham, two people that give new meaning to the word scumbag. These miscreants allowed a 27-year-old Appaloosa gelding named Jalupae to starve then tied its neck to the bucket of an excavator, raising it so the horse was off the ground. It died from strangulation. Try to imagine that event for a moment. Try to imagine the pain and suffering these two bastards inflicted on that innocent animal and for no other reason than they couldn't be bothered to take care of it. Then imagine the outrage if they had done this to a human being. How long would it have taken…

Hanging the lights

Silly Stuff
Yesterday's post referred to a video for the most over-the-top Christmas lighting display. Today's is a picture of the most creative.

The bad news is that I had to take it down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories but two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as many drivers almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't…

Imagine living next door

Of Interest, Silly Stuff
Here's my vote for most the most insane Christmas lighting display. Try to watch the 45,000 lights and 176 channels of computer control all the way through because it only gets more outrageous (make sure you have your speakers turned on). Holdman Christmas Lights of Lindon, Utah is responsible for this aural and visual headache and, oddly enough, they also sell Tahitian Noni Juice, a selection of landscape photography greeting cards and stained glass. Can you say DIVERSE? I wonder what Mary, Joseph and the little guy would think of this...

Bible Bully

Assholes
If I was interested in dinosaurs and had a club that tried to convince other people to be interested in dinosaurs, I'd want to spread the word about dinosaurs, right? Right. So I would approach the local elementary school and ask them to allow me to spread the word about dinosaurs in their school every noon hour of every school day by offering dorky dinosaur club meetings. But if the school wasn't interested in my dorky club and refused to allow me to run my dorky dinosaur club meetings would I be upset and start screaming about my rights? Probably not. If they're not interested, they're not interested and I'll find another place to spread the word about dinosaurs. Most people have the intelligence to know that not everyone may…
