Finally, a reason surfaces for Ontario Bill 117

A pair of dumbasses want to divorce and cause each other some anxiety along the way. Of course, whether it’s about motorcycles or people pissing each other off, what does it matter to the two of them?

“I’ll fix that son of a bitch by making sure he gets as little quality time to bond with our son as he can get,” she thinks.

In my daily parenting plight, I have recently had a new situation cross my path, which has served to be both alarming and perplexing. To make a long story as concise as possible, my soon to be ex-husband has decided, to my chagrin, that my son Liam (8 years old) should be a regular passenger on his motorcycle. -Katherine Mellor

I strongly suspect the ex-husband/father is a few bricks short of a load too. I’m sure he probably knew that putting their eight-year-old on the back of his motorcycle in the midst of a divorce would piss his old lady off to no end.

Now an entire province will pay with Bill 117, preventing anyone 14 and under from riding on the back of a motorcycle.

Warming the cockles o’ my heart

If only it were this simple:

A South Philadelphia man enraged because a family was talking during a Christmas showing of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button decided to deal with the situation by shooting the father, police said. — philly.com, Barbara Boyer

Admit it, you’ve wanted to do that too, haven’t you?

Now perhaps at least one family will stay home when they want a nice fireside chat.

The $54 million pants? Not so much.

Judge Roy Bean lives

Updated Below

Judge Roy Bean, err, Judge Pearson, who sued his Korean dry cleaner for 54 million dollars over a pair of missing pants, finally got his ass handed to him when his suit (minus the pants) was recently thrown out in Washington District’s highest court.

In June of 2007, when Pearson lost his first lawsuit against the dry cleaning store, he also lost his job because “his lawsuit showed bad judgment and reflected poorly on the city.”

Amen to that, brother.

Update: This guy has a real obsession going on. Just this month (January, 2009), he filed another petition, this time with the full nine-judge D.C. Court of Appeals, whining that the three-judge panel in the previous ruling didn’t didn’t address all of the issues in his appeal.

What a mockery of the court system – although there’s really nothing new in that.

R.I.P. Bettie Page

Bettie Page

Bettie was remarkable for the contribution she made to the sexual revolution. Although her photos were taken mostly in the ’50s, she certainly was a part of the revolution by way of the display of her photos in military barracks and garages. She endured harassment, mental illness, multiple unsuccessful marriages and time spent in an orphanage as a child but managed to persevere through all of it.

Thank you, Bettie.
