Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Christine Chubbuck. Newscaster Christine Chubbuck committed suicide in 1974 by shooting herself in the head live on air. She was very vocal about her depression to those around her and gave every indication of her exact intentions leading up to the event.

Um. Not quite. At least this wikipedia article doesn't mention her talking specifically about what she was going to do (besides joking about it). [link]

eta:

Chubbuck spoke to her family at length about her struggles with depression and suicidal tendencies, though she did not inform them of her specific intent beforehand.

Shrek is ballroom dancing at the ballroom championships. To that song with the "hey now, you're a rockstar". Seriously.

And now we have James Brown and a woman in pink go-go boots.

eta: this is the standard dance. Stuff like viennese waltz, foxtrot, tango. So it was all classic flowing ballgowns and tails until the show dance.

Now tagless for your comfort.

This morning when I was driving through Starbucks, I noticed the very friendly and sweet girl serving my latte. She looked really familiar so I asked her if she made the Polar Plunge. She answered yes and I told her I was the one that jumped in right next to her. She laughed and said she and her friends were going to do another one soon.

She is very cute.

figuring only some friends would see it because people usually aren't drawn to dramatic stories on the Internet.

Really stupid, or a big fat liar? You be the judge.

I'm voting big, fat liar. Everybody knows the internet was invented for porn and dramatic stories.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

because people usually aren't drawn to dramatic stories on the Internet.

I think this part is Gawker's sarcasm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think this part is Gawker's sarcasm.

Oh yeah, good one.
