Old friend?

Yesterday people were remembering our reader from Phuket. Here's an open thread from the old blog, posted on February 17, 2011. Hey, Tom, if that's you lurking, come out of the shadows and join the conversation. If you're not Tom, please introduce yourself and join our crazy club...


Watching the sun rise on a beach is a very soothing experience. This picture was sent in by reader Phuket Tom, who wrote: "it was taken on a February morning at dawn from the beach in front of my home at Rawai Beach, Phuket, Thailand."

Thank you, Tom.

Here's the answer to the question asked in what became a very amusing discussion, already answered by CC, but without the sound...

Have a fun Halloween!

GrannyJ sent us a story which goes very well with a Halloween theme. Thank you, GrannyJ.

Police work can be entertaining as well as dangerous.

Recently, a female sheriff's deputy arrested Patrick Lawrence, a 22 year old white male, who was fornicating with a pumpkin in the middle of a field at night.

The next day, at the Gwinnett County (GA) courthouse, Lawrence was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency and public intoxication.

The suspect explained that he was passing a pumpkin patch on his way home from a drinking session when he decided to stop. 

'You know how a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside, and there was no one around for miles, 
or at least I thought there was no one around' he stated.

Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purpose, cut a hole in it, and proceeded to satisfy his pressing need.

”Guess I was really into it, y'know?” he commented with evident embarrassment.

In the process of doing the deed, Lawrence failed to notice an approaching sheriff's car and was unaware of his audience until Deputy Brenda Taylor approached him.

'It was an unusual situation, that's for sure,' said Deputy Taylor. 

'I walked up to Lawrence and he's just humping away at this pumpkin.'

Deputy Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence ...


'I said: 'Excuse me, sir, but do you realize that you're having sex with a pumpkin?' 

He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there, and then he looked me straight in the face and said:

'A pumpkin? Sh*t ... is it midnight already?'

[This story is not true, but the guy's comeback is very funny!]


Amy and mrsgunka sent us this cute picture:

It may be a pest, but there's beauty in all creatures

Amy sent us these pictures of snails taken by Ukrainian photographer Vyacheslav Mischenko. It's so nice that Amy can see beauty in her old foes... Thank you, Amy!
