A woman who is divorcing a rich Broadway executive is airing her grievances on YouTube:

A New York woman involved in a divorce battle spilled
secrets about her husband, his family and their intimate life in a
“scary, new step” in user generated content, attorneys said.

Tricia
Walsh-Smith can be watched on YouTube lashing out at her husband,
Broadway executive Philip Smith, in a teary and furious clip that has
been viewed more than 150,000 times.

Local 6 reported that lawyers can’t think of another case like Smith’s and are calling it a “scary, new step.”

>During
the video, Walsh-Smith goes through their wedding album on camera,
accuses her husband of trying to evict her out of their apartment, and
even makes embarrassing claims about their intimate life.

Wow.. Nothing is funnier then the news. From CBC:

Saint John police spent an hour on Tuesday night trying get an intoxicated
man down from a rooftop.

Police arrived at the home on Duke Street West to find a man dancing on the
roof.

The man then took off his clothes and danced a bunny-hop across the roof
while slapping his buttocks, police said.

The man was drinking out of a bucket he said contained tequila, police
said.

Despite police efforts to convince the man to come down, the man remained on
the roof until a friend arrived and talked to him.

He was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and causing a disturbance,
police said.

Police are not releasing the man’s name.

He is expected to appear in court in Saint John on Wednesday.

The Rules of Thumb, a website created by Rules

user-submitted rules of thumb. Some are more useful than others, but they are
almost always interesting.

DIRECTION CONVEYS TIME AND EMOTION
In advertising, art and photography, the direction the subject is looking or the flow of the composition
can affect the tone of the image. Left is the past, right is the future, up is
positive, down is negative. For example: a subject looking up and to the right
is looking positively into the future. Submitted by: Jeremy Reid, Graphic

MAXIMUM VALUE OF A SERVICE

The value of any service is highest *before* the
service has been rendered.

FINDING SMALL THINGS ON THE FLOOR
To find something very small that you have
dropped on the floor, lay a flashlight on the floor and rotate it. A small
object looks a lot bigger when it has a shadow too.

WALKING WITH SMALL CHILDREN
When walking with small children who are falling
behind, the slower you walk, the slower they will walk, until they stop. If you
maintain your pace, they will keep up with you, albeit somewhat behind.

Had these songs stuck in my head for about a month now, thought I’d share.

Just one more reason not to trust Network Solutions.

Elephant Polo.
Alf Leif Erickson is the Captain of the American Screw Tuskers Elephant
Polo team . Alf is a retired attorney and former law professor from
Florida. This alone doesn’t make much of a post, but, you guessed it,
there more, sometimes NSFW, inside…..
It seems that Alf retired to Bangkok and maintains a site called “Alf’s Balloons”, with a focus on, well, balloons, and of course corkscrews, and elephant polo.

Alf’s elephant polo team seems to consist entirely of transexuals (the riders, that is, not the elephants).

Don’t let the somewhat odd nature of the polo team throw you, because
it doesn’t really get strange (and, by the way, NSFW) until you begin
to explore the inner workings of Alf’s PatPong Corkscrew Club. This is no casual club, annual meetings are held, and the club, like, I assume, all corkscrew clubs, of course, its own balloon and meetings where the members sit naked on Alf’s lap.

Spend some time exploring Alf’s world.

Timothy Klein gets art. I mean, he really gets it. And he likes cars. So when he decided to become an artist, he covered a 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown luxury car with yarn. Correct, yarn. Then, Tim didn’t just show his car off to the local cruzers at the Dairy Queen. No. Tim took it to Artscape at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore in 2002, where he met other famous automotive artists like Harrod Blank and Chris Hubbard. He took it to the Outsider Art Fair in New York in 2003. Wherever he takes the Yarn Car, he documents the trips on his site.
He got featured in Reader’s Digest and “made Diane Sawyer giggle”. Tim will be in Houston on May 10 for the 2008 Art Car Parade. Don’t miss the yarn phone in the car.

In 1943, over Allied bomb ravaged Germany, US pilot Charlie Brown‘s B-17 was badly damaged and straying further from friendly territory. Luftwaffe ace fighter pilot Franz Stigler pursued the bomber intending to shoot it down, but refrained when he saw the extent of the damage and directed Brown and his crew out of harm’s way. The two pilots were reunited 46 years later.

Herr Stigler passed away last month.
