Were any of them children of Lori Loughlin or Felicity Huffman?

 

This one made me spit my coffee all over the place.




Thief trying to make his getaway......

 

In the heat of the moment, you'd think the plant right in front of the window and the doormat would have been very noticeable clues even from quite a distance. And my favorite part is that the door slides open just after he made his "exit".

 

Alright folks, it's theme week here in the DOTD thread. With the 4th of July just a few days away, submit your best fireworks or 4th of July fails to the DOTD thread. Winner gets absolutely nothing other than a few "likes" from the community.

 

All right, maybe not DOTD material, unless it's the guy buying it, but I still thought it was funny.....

 

Drops mic . . .

 

You could have at least put it in a "spoiler" to heighten the dreaded result.........YIKES!!!!!!

 

For some reason this gif won't upload as more than a picture. If you click on it, it will take you to the gif on Imgur

 

I think he was already like that, minus the soot, before he lit it up.

 

Whoever added "Dueling Banjos" as background music absolutely upped that video to another level.

 

Thanks for adding to the festivities so far @LAOJoe, @crextin , and @Lyman

 

A Florida man allegedly pretending to be a police officer pulled over the wrong car.


Barry Lee Hastings Jr., was driving a black vehicle with white and amber lights late Thursday night when he spotted the car of an off-duty Lee County sheriff's deputy and activated emergency lights, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

Hastings told the deputy he needed to "slow down."

The deputy twice asked Hastings for his credentials. Hastings responded that he was "a law enforcement officer and his credentials were at the office," the sheriff's office said.

"He told the deputy he could follow him back to the 'station' so he could obtain and show him his credentials," the sheriff's office said..

Hastings tried to flee after the deputy called 911 but was stopped and arrested by a Hillsborough County sheriff's deputy.

A functional siren box and light set up similar to the ones used by Hillsborough County officers and a CB radio were found in the car, the office said.

Hastings was arrested for impersonating a public officer, the office said.

Hillsborough County is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metro area. Lee County is farther south.

Man dies in ‘absolute agony’ 10 days after eating gecko on a dare



Dad of three David Dowell was always known as a lovable hooligan and a man who would never back down from a dare, but one he took last year — when a friend dared him to eat a gecko at a Christmas party — could be the thing that claimed his life.

Friends and family are still searching for answers six months after Dowell was dared to eat the lizard.

Dowell, who would’ve turned 35 last week, was rushed to Brisbane’s Mater Hospital in “absolute agony” on Dec. 3, two days after friends reportedly saw him eat the gecko at the Saturday night party.

Dowell’s partner of 15 years, Allira, begged the paramedics to take him to the hospital after they believed he just had a badly upset stomach or a severe hangover.




He began vomiting green bile, his urine was black and his stomach was so badly bloated that he looked six months pregnant. His lungs also started to fill with fluid and fluid leaked from his stomach.

A day after Dowell was admitted to the hospital, Allira was told by a friend they were “pretty sure” they had seen him eat a gecko at the party.

“(Allira) told the doctor and the doctor said, ‘That could have been it,’” Hannah said.

“But there has been no evidence that he actually ate it because there was, ‘Oh yeah, I saw him eat it’ and then, ‘No, I didn’t see him eat it.'”

“It was a dare, so he might have intended to eat it and then thrown it away. At the end of the day, we don’t know whether he actually ate the gecko. David never mentioned it.”

Hannah told the news site her brother was in “absolute agony.”

Michelle Dowell, Hannah and David’s mom, begged doctors to operate.

“His testicles were swollen up to grapefruits and there was fluid leaking from them and they (doctors) said that was normal, it was just all of the fluid in his stomach cavity,” Michelle told the paper.

On Dec. 11, less than two weeks after he reportedly ate the gecko, Dowell died in surgery.

His family said he “basically rotted from the inside out.”

Hannah and her family are calling for answers, especially relating to the decisions made at Mater Hospital. They claim the doctors “didn’t really care.”

“The surgeon basically said that he needed that (surgery) straightaway,” Hannah told the Brisbane Times.

“We also asked why they didn’t give him a catheter and they said they didn’t think of that. We had to ask for pain relief for David … He was put into a coma because they couldn’t control his pain. We never really got to say goodbye to him.”

“It was like they didn’t really care. The moment he got moved into the intensive care unit, that’s when they got serious.

“I want justice for David … or just answers. You don’t ever think anything like this could ever happen to you and then it does.”

In a statement, Mater Hospital said it was unable to comment on Dowell’s death.

“Mater offers its deepest condolences to the family of David Dowell. Dowell’s case was referred to the coroner, who determined Mater had provided appropriate care and no further action was required. Mater is unable to comment further on the case due to patient confidentiality.”

Dowell left behind three young girls. His funeral, held on Dec. 21, was attended by hundreds of people.

A large number of animals carry salmonella in their gut — including snakes, frogs and geckos.

Similarities have been drawn between Dowell’s death and that of another Australian, Sam Ballard.

Ballard died in November, eight years after he was dared by his teenage pals to eat a slug crawling across the pavement of his Sydney home.

Ballard, who was 19 at the time of the dare, started to develop severe pain in his legs.

Doctors later determined the slug had infected him with rat lungworm.

The worm that infected him is usually found in rodents, but snails and slugs can also become infected when they eat rat feces.

He contracted eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, which many people recover from, but the Sydney teen didn’t.

He fell into a coma for 420 days and when he woke, had an acquired brain injury.

Ballard died in early November. His last words to his mom, who cared for him for eight years, were, “I love you.”

In an interview with 7 News, Allira said her partner’s death was a “big shock.”

“We never thought this would happen, it was just a big shock and it still is a big shock” she said.

“He was a great person, he was the best person I have ever met, he was the best dad to our children.”

She told the publication that the attention on her partner’s death has been distressing as she doesn’t “want him to be remembered like this.”

Dowell’s sister Hannah told the Brisbane Times that her brother became incredibly sick on Dec. 3 and had to be rushed to the hospital.

“When they got there, they (paramedics) didn’t even want to take him (to the hospital). They said he just had gastro and his partner said, ‘No, you’ve got to take him; it’s not just gastro,’” she said.

A day into his hospital stay, Dowell was diagnosed with salmonella.

The illness, a foodborne bacteria, typically causes patients to suffer through days of diarrhea, stomach cramps and fever.

But for Dowell, things were much worse.
