Holy Toledo! I sure hope that those of you who were out celebrating Canada Day or the 4th of July this weekend had this guy firing up your BBQ!

Take a look at where he stored the mustard!

I’m not sure what event this was for, but you can see that some of the people in the background are also dressed up in wild outfits. I’d love to know what it was that they were celebrating.

Squirrels accidently shut off electricity in two cities

Hundreds of Midwestern Power customers and two squirrels were very unlucky one day last fall.

Apparently a squirrel came into contact with an overhead transformer and knocked out service to 177 customers. Power was restored in just under an hour, but naturally the squirrel lost it’s life. The remains were found by repair crews.

Just 40 miles away in Ironwood, Mich, another squirrel got into a substation and caused a temporary power outage that affected 1400 customers.

The power company is now thinking about what kind of steps it can take to keep curious animals away from the lines as they, along with weather, are one of the leading causes of power outages.

“We kind of liken it to anyone who’s had a bird feeder and tried to keep the squirrels out,” said the power company spokesperson. “They find a way.”

Good luck!

Teens nabbed after shooting lawyer with BB guns

Two teens learned that it isn’t good to shoot at Dr. Death!

Dr. Death, Michael J. Breczinski, an attorney, was walking to his car one night when he heard a loud pop and felt a sting on his neck. The 54 year old man turned to see smirking 14 and 15 year old teens hiding their hands.

When he asked the teens if they’d shot him with a BB gun the teens ran away. Unfortunately for the teens he gave chase and one of the teens pulled out a BB gun and shot at him again. Breczinski was hit in the arms and torso with pellets but he managed to tackle the teen in the parking lot.

The youth eventually struggled and got away from the Lawyer but both teens were later arrested by police in a nearby restaurant. The pair are expected to face felonious assault charges.

Breczinski who had to get a tetanus shot for the pellet wounds says the kids got off lucky. He’d taken target practice earlier in the day but he’d decided not to carry his .45 ruger with him to the mall. He says ther’s no guarantee he wouldn’t have known the teen had only pulled a BB gun and he might have pulled out his own weapon if he’d had it.
