Nude Man Caught Covered in Nacho cheese

I’ll just let this speak for itself:

A Maryville man spent his 23rd birthday in custody after police said they found him early Sunday running nude from the John Sevier pool snack bar with a box of stolen snacks.

Authorities said the man had apparently scaled an 8-foot tall fence while naked and covered in nacho cheese and was seen running toward a Jeep in which officers found clothing and an open bottle of vodka.

According to Maryville police, Michael P. Monn, born July 18, 1981, of McCall Road, Maryville, was arrested by officer Scott Spicer at 5 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the pool at John Sevier School, Sequoyah Avenue. Monn was charged with burglary, theft of property less than $500, vandalism less than $500 and public intoxication. He was also cited with indecent exposure. Monn was held at the Blount County Jail in lieu of $9,300 bond pending a 9 a.m. Aug. 3 General Sessions Court hearing.

Authorities reported someone also defecated in a garbage can, threw nacho cheese on the exterior wall of the snack bar and scattered chips on the ground outside the facility. About $40 in chips and $7 in nacho cheese were stolen from the snack bar, police said.

Oh my…

They’ll Outsource Anything

Including fast-food drive-up windows:

Pull off Interstate 55 near Cape Girardeau, Mo., and into the drive-through lane of a McDonald’s next to the highway and you’ll get fast, friendly service, even though the person taking your order is not in the restaurant — or even in Missouri.

The order taker is in a call center in Colorado Springs, more than 900 miles away, connected to the customer and to the workers preparing the food by high-speed data lines. Even some restaurant jobs, it seems, are not immune to outsourcing.

Random Shared Photos

This guy takes random photos he finds on P2P networks and puts them online, and there are some weird ones there. Why people would share this stuff is beyond me. Reminds me of the LiveJournal Random Images generator, which is even more disturbing and shows quite a bit about the people who have LiveJournal accounts. They need to be egged.

You have a broken Real Doll?

You may (or may not) have heard of Real Doll (site isn’t safe for work). Basically, what these things are is super-realistic sex toys. They’re disgusting, really. But if decide to buy one, and it breaks down from…well…over use, there’s apparently somebody that will fix it.

That’s Good To Know

I Wouldn’t Be Able to Crap

Here’s a picture of a public toilet in Switzerland that’s made entirely out of one-way glass. No one can see you in there, but when you are inside, it looks like you’re sitting in a clear glass box. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I could use it.

That’s A Resume Builder

Colin Powell a member of the Village People?

I have to say that when Barney sent me this, and I first read it, I said to my self “Am I really reading this on CNN and not The Onion?” Needless to say, I never thought I’d see the day when high-ranking U.S. officials dress up and sing a version of “YMCA”. There’s even a video of the event, if you subscribe to CNN’s Premium Content (which I don’t — does anybody here?).
