Snoop Dogg And His Dangerous Weapon

October 25th 2006 09:19

Snoop Dogg, Snoop Doggy Dogg, The Doggfather, The Bigg Boss Dogg, Snoop D-O-Double-G...


...or just plain ol’ Calvin Broadus was recently busted by airport authorities. And no, it wasn’t for his striking resemblance to a poodle or his unique command of the English language, fo’ shizzle.

The Hip Hop tycoon was stopped after a 21-inch baton was found in his hand luggage just as he boarded a plane headed for New York. This baton, which apparently collapses to 8 inches, was placed in his laptop case and was identified as a dangerous weapon.

Snoop Dogg told airport staff that the baton was simply a prop that he needs for the movie he is currently filming in New York. And it sounds like prosecutors believed him. There were no arrests made and the District Attorney’s office is still deciding whether or not to pursue the matter.

Of course, this isn’t the first time the 35-year-old rapper has had a hiccup at the airport. Earlier this year, he was arrested for violent disorder after starting a brawl at the British Airways’ First-Class Lounge at London’s Heathrow Airport. It was so bad that British Airways has banned The Doggfather from ever getting on one of their flights ever again.


He has also previously been convicted of cocaine possession, gun possession and was acquitted of a murder charge.

And I’m still waiting for the Etiquette police to arrest him for everything else...

The Spa Bandit

October 24th 2006 07:42
The people of Wisconsin are on the lookout for a person they’ve dubbed “The Spa Bandit”.

He’s everything you would expect a bandit to be – sneaky, clever and always one step ahead.

The Spa Bandit, who last used the alias “Scott Kendry”, is said to be a smooth-talking businessman. He has been booking himself into luxurious salons and spas throughout Wisconsin, having about AU$800 worth of work done, then dodging the bill. It’s genius really.

The guy gets a back wax, a chest wax, an eye-brow shaping, a massage and even a Brazilian. He also books in for a manicure and pedicure, but when it’s time for these treatments, he pretends he needs to go to his car to get something. He even tells the pedicurist to start the water running so they can start as soon as he returns - but he never does!

His last visit was to Azana Salon and Spa in Brookfield but 5 other spa owners in the area have made similar complaints. How do they know it’s the same person? Because all those who spoke to him found out that his favourite treatments are the butt massages and the bikini waxes!

Although no arrests have been made, there is video surveillance footage of the young, well-groomed male which could soon lead to his identification. Local police are currently investigating the matter.

Men and women around the world spend billions of dollars each year attempting to make themselves look younger. Be it through Botox, face lifts, liposuction, WHATEVER. They are doing it all in the name of beauty.

They Olay their faces each night and day, hoping that crease will one day un-creasify itself. They belly dance and kick-box and yoga their way to a cellulite-free body. And their circle of friends? Dr Atkins, Jenny Craig, Oprah and the spray-tanning lady.

I hate to be the one to poop the party, but quite frankly, these people need to be in AA meetings – Anti-Agers Anonymous.

The reality is that no matter how much surgery you have or how many creams you slather on your face, you are still going to age sweetheart. That’s just the way life goes.

So I was thinking, perhaps what it all really boils down to is feeling young. If you feel it, you probably don’t need to go to all these lengths to physically confirm it. That’s why I think all AAers should move to Kenya.

You see, a Kenyan government minister has proposed to change the legal definition of “youth”. Currently, the term encompasses all persons between the ages of 15 and 30. But if things go Mr Kuti’s way, the term will be broadened to include all those between the ages of 15 and 50!

Why would they do that? Well, let’s just say it’s got nothing to do with the AAers, and everything to do with helping the people of Kenya access billion-dollar government funds which they would otherwise not have access to.

I just reckon that if there’s a law telling you that at the age of 50 you are still considered young, then *poof* problem solved! Am I onto something here?

The Cronulla Riots Board Game

October 17th 2006 13:38
As if the racially-motivated violence wasn’t humiliating and shameful enough, now there’s a board game to remind us all of that heated December day in Cronulla. Oh, you know what I’m talking about - that day when 5000 people gathered on the beach wearing t-shirts that read WE GREW HERE, YOU FLEW HERE.

The online game is called Cronulla Monopoly and just like the original, it’s all about buying and selling property. And getting very, very rich.

Rape Charge Against President of Israel

October 16th 2006 02:15
President Katsav of Israel has been accused of rape, sexual assault, fraud and improprieties during the pardons process. A lengthy investigation has been underway over the sex scandal for months and last night, the Israeli Police finally made a recommendation that the President face the various charges.

The recommendations were made based on the evidence of 10 female employees who alleged misconduct whilst the President was in office. 5 of those complaints were dismissed because they did not fit within the statute of limitations.
