Nobody likes a stereotype, but a West Virginian man’s actions a couple of weeks ago kind of proved that some residents of the Southern States really are hicks.
Michael Ginevan, 39 years of age, attempted to flee from a police officer who tried to pull him over. Ginevan was driving a strange vehicle indeed. It was a lawnmower with a case of beer attached to the front of it.
Sherrif’s deputy JH Jenkins managed to catch up with the unruly lawnmower driver while on foot. It must have been a strange police chase indeed!
A sculpture in a Norfolk gallery caused a stir among some residents in November forcing the removal of the Buddha statue. Police told staff that the figure was offensive.
The piece was called A Trilogy: The Iconoclasts and it featured the religious figure with it’s genitals comprised of a banana and eggs!
In other strange statue news:
Yorkshire residents were bemused by the appearance of 19 carved stone heads. The heads were adorned with a symbol that seemed to spell Paradox. The heads showed up in Goathland, Kilburn, Rotherham and Arthrington and they had a note attached which read “Twinkle twinkle like a star, does love blaze less from afar?”
Were these stone heads a message for a loved one? Perhaps.
In November two North Carolinian men fought over a bizarre custody dispute. The battle wasn’t over children. Uh huh … it was over an amputated leg!
John Wood missed payments at a storage facility where his barbecue was kept and the item was auctioned off. Unfortunately for him he forgot that he’d kept his old limb inside the barbecue.
Shannon Whisnant, the BBQ’s new owner has been busy charging curious residents of Maiden to see the dismembered appendage. She plans to keep it and she’s threatened legal action if Mr. Wood attempts to reclaim it.
Now isn’t that bizarre?
You know a cities gone insane when they name a cartoon character as one of their most famous residents.
Just such a thing happened a little while ago in Glasgow Scotland when the city council named Scrooge McDuck as one of their cities most famous residents!
It’s said that the famous duck started life as a humble shoe shine in Glasgow.
Scrooge has now been named on a Who’s Who list of the city’s most famous residents. This list also includes Scrooges nephews Donald, Dewar as well as Billy Connolly.
What is in the water over in Glasgow?
