A friend downloaded an app on my phone that I want to share with you. It’s call Tunity and it allows me to aim my phone camera at any TV and it will detect exactly what the show is and let me stream the audio over my phone. There is nothing more frustrating than being in a bar with twelve (12) TVs and all of them are on mute and most of them are talking head sports shows. Now I just listen to my phone in real time. I could also have used it last night when the wife and I watched Walking Dead and Rick went on a five minute whispering spree that was lost on me.

Are you one of those people who have painted basically the same fat letters all over your town for twenty years? Then why don't you start with your parent's and grandparent's house...or your car...or the place you work? Why not ask a friend if they would like you to spray paint some fat letters on bedroom wall?
And although this looks like clever artwork of screws on a sidewalk, it is not.

That's far from Miami,

find it sleeping on her chest.

I've seen something very similar before.
There was a department store in Boston that had one 12' x 12" board in each display window. One had various universities written on it = Board of Education. Another photographs of governors = Board of Governors. There were several more, but I forget.
Lara, you were there. Can you remember any more of them?

For anyone who needs money and also has access to a crane and can somehow finagle an entire ATM machine out of thin air, you now have your blueprint into breaking an ATM open. Those machines are tough! Breaking ATMs for cash is the stuff of movies and TV shows! But it doesn’t have to be hard.

Coyotes have taken to staring at motorists as they drive through a twisting, turning section of road, before attacking their cars and then skulking off back into the wilderness. The coyotes run up to the cars, usually at night, forcing the drivers to stop as the animals then stare and sniff around the vehicles.

The carnivorous plant Dionaea muscipula, also known as Venus flytrap, can count how often it has been touched by an insect visiting its capture organ in order to trap and consume the animal prey.
I can count! Holy shit!

Before their marriage in
1925, Vladimir Nabokov, following a tradition among Russian litterateurs,
handed over an intercourse résumé. "Here’s everybody." It contained twenty-eight
names.

No one cared when I announced I was cancer free.
Apparently it doesn’t count if you’ve never had cancer in the first place.

Just drop it from a 100
feet in the air like Crash Zone did with a crane and watch it spit out cash all
over the place.

According to Russian
newspaper reports, in the 1940s Stalin's secret police had set up a special
department to get its hands on people's feces. The ambitious aim: to
analyze samples of foreign leaders' stools.
Did they keep samples in
storage? I am imagining new opportunities in the fiercely-competitive Celebrity
Fecal Transplant market.

Some think they may have eaten fly agaric
mushrooms (amanita muscaria) which have hallucinogenic properties.
By the way, there are a whole bunch of coyotes being released into the "wild" and their diet consists mostly of domestic house cats, and that shit is true.

The picture of the junk in the front yard, you ask if it's a southern thing? Out west if a yard in my area looked like that the city would clean it up and send the home owner the bill. Same with over run lawn or trees or shrubs etc.
