When Izzy's 10 year reunion came about, the class president wanted him to DJ, AND PAY to attend. Yet DJ for free!
What happened at your reunion? Do you look hotter now than high school? Send us pics! izzy@electric949.com or jinger@electric949.com
RULES ARE RULES
In Hatteras, North Carolina, a team of fishermen thought they had hit the big time after winning first place in the prestigious Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. However, as they were salivating over their $1.2 MILLION DOLLAR prize money-- including a bonus for single-largest catch-- one of the judges discovered that one member of the team, Peter Wann, had not gotten his $30 North Carolina coastal recreational fishing license before their boat pushed off that day. Therefore, under the rules, the entire team was disqualified, and the runner-up, from Cape Carteret, N.C., got the money. Ouch!
PARENTS LEFT ME HANGIN'
Comedian Woody Allen used to tell a joke about being abondanded by his parents who "left no forwarding address." But that actually happened to Ken Anderson in Vancouver. When Ken was only 15, both his mother, Shirley Anderson, and his father just picked up and moved away with nary a word to their son. Now Ken's 46 and despite this, Shirly is actually suing him for parental support thanks to an archaic 1922 law in British Columbia that obligates adult children to support "dependent" parents! She's demanding $350 per month from Ken and his four siblings-- three of whom were at least 17 when the parents left and thus not considered "abandoned." A judge initially awarded the mother the money based on the law but the siblings are appealing.
HOW MUCH IS THAT PAY PAL
In Houston, Texas, 24-year-old Derek Lanphier got the surprise of his life when his bank balance turned negative to the tune of almost $880,000 after PayPal charged him almost a million dollars. Derek initially panicked after discovering a $3,000 purchase on his PayPal account. He called PayPal and his bank to report the fraud and to stop any further purchases he thought was part of a phishing attack of his account. But panic turned into disbelief when Lanphier saw the negative $888,871.91 balance. He finally started laughing and saved a screenshot of the amount in the Account Activity dashboard to show to his friends. The bank later promised to reverse the charges. Derek said he uses his PayPal account for iTunes puchases.

Posted Wednesday August 11 2010 at 9:35amSteven Slater gets Hero Status!
Yesterday we told you about 38 year old Steven Slater, he's the JetBlue Flight Attendant who got B&^%$ slapped by a passenger and then went off. Cursed her out, grabbed 2 beers, deployed the emergency chute and slid to fame. Well, he's out of jail. Steven was charged with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and criminal trespass, and his bail was set at $2,500. It was posted last night. There are now facebook pages, twitter accounts and anything you can think of to support Slater and his legal fees.

Finally caught up with True Blood. *sigh* I thought Talbot was great. Maybe he's not really dead-dead. Izzy loved Talbot, too. Bring back Talbot and kill off that chick Jason Stackhouse is chasing.

Posted Tuesday August 10 2010 at 9:24amFree Steven Slater!
This story is about a JetBlue flight attendant who's 100% going to get fired . . . but at least he had one of the most AMAZINGLY BAD*$$ EXITS EVER. He is 38-year-old Steven Slater of New York, and he's a flight attendant for JetBlue. Yesterday afternoon, he was working on a flight from Pittsburgh to JFK airport in NYC. When the plane landed, Steven got into an argument with a female passenger, who stood up early to get her suitcase out of the overhead compartment . . . then SMACKED Steven with the bag when he told her to sit down.
They argued. It escalated. Steven ended up getting on the intercom . . . cursing out the ENTIRE plane, especially the woman . . . then grabbing some BEERS . . . pulling the plane's emergency inflatable chute . . . and sliding down onto the runway! After he got down the slide, he ran off into the terminal . . . and managed to escape from the airport before officers could find him. He's been charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and criminal trespass. He could get up to seven years in prison.
This is all I am posting. Laptop is passive aggressive.
