FORT SMITH, Ark. – Fort Smith police reported that gunfire resulted after some uninvited guests crashed a local baptism. Authorities were dispatched to the Progressive Men’s Club at 2 a.m. Saturday after a caller reported “gunfire, dangnabbit”. A witness also told Fort Smith television station KHBS that her husband and father were pistol whipped by the trespassers – she only pointed at one man, however. Others, including a disk jockey, were beaten.
Police reported that someone had fired a gun in the air and then into the crowd; no one was wounded.
“It was all crazy and whatnot,” said attendee Bubba Pickens. “First we’s all having a good time. Then outta nowhere there’s holy water all over the place.”
Investigators said six juveniles were arrested. Their names weren’t released “on account of their ages”. One youth was charged with aggravated assault. Other charges include curfew violations, marijuana possession, carrying a weapon and intent to deflower a sibling.
“I’ve been trying to find some of the people I went to grade school and high school with. Sadly, all I found out is that most of them have passed away.”
Thelma Rogers, 77, has found herself on the one place she never thought she’d be: the Internet. According to Rogers, who turns 78 in two weeks, “I never understood what all the fuss was that my grandkids made over this Book Face. Then my son Jeffery bought me a computer last year for Christmas. He’s such a good boy, Jeffery. He won the spelling bee in 6th grade.”
Now Rogers can be found searching Facebook and other social networking sites such as Twitter in hopes of reconnecting with old friends.

"It’s no wonder these houses aren’t selling. Just look at that crack right there."
Sales of previously occupied homes plunged last month to the lowest level in 15 years, despite the lowest mortgage rates in decades and bargain prices in many areas.
According to the National Association of Realtors, July home sales fell by more than 27 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.83 million. It was the largest monthly drop on records dating back to 1968, with sharp declines recorded in all regions of the country.
According to annalists, the poor economy, a stagnant 9.5 percent unemployment rate and the expiration of tax credits in April are responsible for the decrease.
Or are they? Some individuals, including contractor extraordinaire Mike Holmes, believe the slump is the direct result of poor house construction and under-qualified, fly-by-night contractors. Continue reading »
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — According to Wellington authorities a movie-goer was found dead after a screening of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” at a Wellington cinema. The 23-year-old, described by police as a transient, was found unresponsive in his chair, with no obvious injuries, after a 6 p.m. screening of the vampire romance movie on Sunday night, the New Zealand Herald reported. He was found by theater staff at 8:20 p.m.
“There are no obvious injuries to this person. And we are looking at this as an unexplained death,” said Detective Senior Sgt. Scott Miller. “We suspect, however, that he may have died of boredom.”
NEW YORK – Manhattan chef, Daniel Angerer, has concocted and posted a recipe for a new titillating culinary delight on his blog: cheese made from his wife’s breast milk, or what he refers to as “My spouse’s mommy milk cheese.” Angerer thought up the busty formage after he and his wife, Lori Mason, experienced an overabundance of Lori’s breast milk in their freezer. His recipe includes the cheese encrusted with maple caramelized pumpkin and Concord grapes.
With the sudden popularity of the “mommy milk cheese”, Angerer has begun experimenting with other non-standard fares which he hopes to add to his blog. These include a “Gooseberry toe jam” and a sharper, and significantly more pungent, “Dick cheese”.
