Hi, I hope you remember me. I haven't posted in a looooooooong time because my little son-Inch JR-has been needing some father-son time alot.
Jailbreak!
West Virginia, the thief that broke loose
Last year, on the charges of robbery and burglary, West Virginia was sentenced to 50 years of jail. Now, he has escaped with 49 years still on his sentence. At 3:00 a.m., while the guard was asleep, he squeezed through the bars and ran off into the night.
Notice the guard asleep.
As the alarm sounded, the guard immediately awoke to find an empty jail cell. He rubbed his eyes, telling himself that it was a dream. It wasn't. Policemen were soon jumping, sprinting, and nearly knocking others over to get to their police vehicles. The guard called detective Invisible Spiderman to investigate the matter. "I'll be there in fifteen minutes" he said to the guard.
West Virginia and his buddy get away
Unfortunately, fifteen minutes was too much time. West Virginia got together with his yet unidentified buddy and ran off. Invisible Spiderman caught the unidentified accomplice and gave him 10 years of prison. West Virginia got away. "We have guards all over the basement" said Trigger Zeeb, the police chief. "He's still missing"*
Brazil 3 Argentina 3
Antlers Smith's first...
...second...
...and third goal of the day
Brazil's Antlers Smith scored all three of his team's goals in a tie with Argentina. He got a yellow card early in the game so he had to sit out the rest of the half. After a scoreless half and a pep talk, he went out and accounted for all of his team's points. Tuskies Hotte, Argentina's goalie said, "He's quick, talented, and can put the ball in the net, you cant let him get the ball". Argentina's goal with 0:43 left in the game, shattered all of Brazil's hopes of beating their hated rivals. "Next time", Antlers always says, "Next time we'll beat them. Brazil is now 18-13-3 and Argentina is 25-2-7. *
Catastrophe!
A boat capsizes, leaving the passengers stranded
Luckily, no one was drowned, but they were all shaken up. Bananas McQueen (monkey), Thursday Monday (T-Rex), and Gecko Boobeeboo (gecko) were all on board.
As Gecko recalls it;
"It was a cool crisp night...not a star to be seen. The dark blue [ocean] was perfectly still...After a few hours I was feeling drowsy, but [I] still stayed up. The tide had really picked up and [the boat] was rocking madly. I wasn't worried but I was anxious for the waves to stop... then all of a sudden, a huge one [wave] came out of the blue and smashed our poor boat's roof off. [I] was falling so I caught hold of the wall to escape [drowning]...I got to the top of the capsized boat and started waving madly... a 'copter spotted us and took us to safety".
"...and started waving madly..."
Bananas was not so lucky. He was under the water "For umpteen hours, it felt like" he says. Also he says that a pillow, floating past, saved his life. Thursday Monday says that his leg got tangled in a length of rope as he was about to drown. "I really thank that little rope" he says*
Gold!
Buried treasure!
In the Ockaroke Inlet of North Carolina, Fang Brown started digging. "Just for fun" he says "Just to get to China or something" he chuckles. Little did he know that he would find buried treasure. "If I'd have known that I would find treasure, I would abandon the process and let some one else get to it". Yet, after thirteen hours of digging, Fang would find old Blackbeard treasure. Words, written in blood, said "Me olde curse on ye treasure so ye be dead if ye found openin' me gold". Fang completely ignored it and the curse was a dud. The coins had a date on them, MDCLXXX, which proved to be in Blackbeard's later years.
Fang looks at his booty
Fang sold the coins for $100,000 each, but after not selling any, he kept them. "I did get them the hard way you know" he later said*
