As this is the internet we can infer from the story Soviet style socialism is superior to whatever it is Putin is huffing these days.

Near where i lived as a child there was a woman lived nearby, she was a supervisor at a sweat shop. She fired a guy who got revenge by mixing a batch of agricultural fertiliser in a watering can and writing the four letter "c" word large across her lawn.

She had the word lush and verdant across her lawn, it took 3 years to grow out

Yesterday there was a cop going down the freeway with lights on, siren off, going half the speed limit and driving down the middle of the road to block those behind him. I didn't want to exit off because I was extremely curious as I've never seen this one before and I want to see what's going on. Next on ramp comes up amd there are several cars merging onto the freeway. Piggly wiggly apparently couldn't juggle all them and keep the bs stunt going because he turned his light off and got in the left lane and nothing else of it after that. A mile later he exited off the freeway.

Traffic cops do that in the UK. Called a rolling block. It's used to break the traffic so emergency services ahead can have a clear road to sort out an accident.

When cleared the cop gets a message to let it go.

I thought that at first, but the fact he quit doing it when the road got a little more congested made me doubt that, and then there was no accident or emergency vehicles to be found so the rollimg block seems very doubtful.

The accident may have been 10 or 20 miles ahead. Or then again it might just have been a jerk.

My bet is he was looking for something to do other than pick on the homeless. Even for an authoritarian bully I imagine that must get dull after awhile.

Dog eats groom's passport days before Boston couple's wedding in Italy

Ruh roh! With less than two weeks to go until a Boston couple ties the knot in Italy, there’s one big problem — their dog ate the groom’s passport. After years of wedding planning, Donato Frattaroli and his fiancée, Magda Mazri, are facing a problem they never could have planned for. “It was not...

www.nbcboston.com

The couple went to City Hall on Thursday to get their marriage license and letter of intent, and then they went out to dinner. When they got back to their South Boston home, a nightmare was unfolding before their eyes; their 1.5-year-old golden retriever was eating his own dinner -- Frattaroli's passport.

"Chickie" chewed out the first four pages of the passport, several back pages and a stamp from Mexico where the couple got engaged a few years ago.

"When you first looked at the passport, it didn't look like it was super damaged," Mazri explained.

But once the couple got a closer look, they realized it was bad -- very bad.

"It was like every important page. Like all of his personal information -- completely torn up, his picture page was torn up, the barcode on the back of the passport was torn up," Mazri said, adding that "Chickie" is a "very good dog."

"She's not a house destroyer," Mazri added of their puppy.

I guess they should have left the passport out of Chickie's reach.
