MattBob’s Killer Webspace… | UNknown. UNderinformed. UNderthere.

It seems like Law Enforcement week here on my lil’ blog.  I’m pro-police and all it’s just been facinating reading all these different stories as of late.  I’ll let you drill down into the story of a lady who calls the Stark County Police Dept only to get arrested and strip searched.. illegally.  That is, against the police department’s own policy.

also, additional, videos and up-to-date info can be found on WKYC’s site on the right hand menu bar of the page i just provided.

So, trolling online I came across a story about someone not wanting to present their receipt to the Loss Prevention (LP) folks that now man stations right inside the doors of most box retailers. It’s always been annoying but I’ve usually complied, just for simplicity sake.

One guy decided that he wasn’t about to be harassed at a retailer that he just made a purchase from. I’ve said it before, people (employees) need to know and understand rules and laws that govern them, beyond ’store policies.’ The TSA is the worst offender of them all. As a photographer I cannot explain to you how many times I’ve had to deal with people who think they have some sort of real authority. They don’t.

Read on, it’s a fascinating story.

This is the main reason why I almost NEVER get the additional anything (warranty, etc) at these box stores.. it’s a waste.

Normally I think that people are trying to sham companies when filing ‘frivolous’ lawsuits but with this amazing story, we all can relate/understand this Best Buy consumer’s story.   I wish her all the best (har-har). Mostly, I enjoy the part where she’s going to keep the public in the loop.

sheesh.

So, the other day I went to the good ol’ ABC Store with a friend…one can never have enough alcohol. Unfortunately this was a smaller store and the selection was terrible. Since you can never have enough Kahlúa, that’s all I had to check out. As the register dude was ringing up the order, I noticed a display for a new Liqueur called PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur, or PAMA for short. Pomegranates? REALLY? This instantly made me think of Brian Regan’s bit about cranberries mixing into so many different foods and drinks lately. Well, I’ve noticed that the Pomegranate people are not getting paid enough, because they are working WAY to hard to get consumers attention to this fruit. We get it. Pomegranates are good for you. Got it.

I digress.

After looking over the bottle a few moments, realizing you can make a PAMA mojito. Mojito. mmmmm. But Pomegranate? So I read the back of the bottle, “Experience a Unique blend of..” don’t care.. skim-skim-skim.. “PAMA, the world’s first true pomegranate liqueur…” yea, okay.. whatever, skim-skim. “The legend lives on in PAMA” zzzzzzzzzzzz skim-skim. “Highly versatile, it can be enjoyed on the rocks or in you-blah blah blah…” You had me at rocks. Normally I don’t ask/care about the opinion of others, but then again, I don’t like buying shitty alcohol either. The register guy said that it was actually good. Okay. Let’s dance.

I could bore you with other banalities, but I’d rather just say that this is REALLY good. While definitely not required, it would help to already be able to recognize Pomegranates before trying, but those that have will find this right on the mark.

Check them out and pick up a bottle. You and yours will not be disappointed.

Ran across a link that Season 2 of ‘30 Days’ is coming out on DVD on March 11th.  This made me think, what happened to this show?  Whether you like Morgan Spurlock or not, this is an interesting concept, which many may disagree for a handful of inaccuracies, does open the viewers eyes.  Seeing how at this point in my life, I’m not terribly interested in buying more stuff.. I was curious on whether or not I am going to be able to view new episodes, I zipped over to Wiki and found this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Days) stating that Fox’s FX channel has ordered another season of six episodes. YEA!

With the last game before the holidays, Slow and Steady work hard and have a few message after the game.

Part One

Part Two

well.. a buddy of mine sent this to me about an hour ago and I haven’t stopped playing.. so.. good luck and don’t waste to much time learnin’.
