"Modesto man hospitalized for a bad case of mistaken identity. Gang members stab wrong man."
??? - Grandy thought to herself.
The story went on to report the following:
Four men broke into a man's home, beat him, and stabbed him in the back. Then the men realized they had the wrong person. They apologized, offered to take him to the hospital, and left. The reporter states they even hugged his wife, apologized, and left.
WTF??? Seriously people!?!
Is it ever the right house?
I decided to follow up on the story here and learned that some of the facts were a little off, as they don't state anything about a wife, or an offer to take him to the hospital.
But it got me thinking...I haven't heard a local stupid story in a while. Granted, this isn't the next town over from me, it's more like a few hours away, but geesh!! I need to read more of the local news I guess.
Why couldn't they have just done what this
People are NUTS!!!
Maybe Grandy should just go back to putting my head back in the sand. It was safer there.
So... What about you?
Any local
Please share...

Grandy,
The topper for us happened about a year ago. A branch of Citizens Bank on Elm Street was robbed by a man who "disguised" himself by taping tree branches to his head, complete with leaves! He didn't do a very good job, the camera got a very good shot of his face where he had left a space to see. He was arrested the next day. LOL

We don't have anything right now..our local news is totally revovling around the Anheuser Busch buyout..it's like at least one of every person in our city knows..or is related to an employee..BIG news.
Oh..and Slobo died. If you watched indoor soccer in the 80's you would know him.
I'm begging to subscribe ti the see no hear no speak no idea my self!
Hugs and blessing headed your way Grandy!
That's my story and you can bet I'm sticking to it!
Do you read the annual Darwin Awards? http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin2008.html
They're always good for rooting out the truly stupid among us.
This is exactly why I try to avoid the news. People ARE crazy, and if I pay attention to this stuff then I never want to talk to anyone for fear they are one of the nutters. It's a whole lot easier for me to remain ignorant but friendly.
Grandy, I have a "goodie" for you on my wordpress site. so comeon down and collect it. Hugs and Blessings.
One more thing you gotta pass it around as I did. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
C'mon, they apologized.
(Crazy story.)
Here by way of Mike. Congratulations on the award. I don't have any interesting news stories because I have basically quit listening. Head in the sand.

You had the perfect comment--is it ever the right house? What are people thinking?
Whoa....that is just insane.
"Is it ever the right house?" - WORD!
No crazy stories here lately...that I know of. However I'm sure the loonies are always out in full force.
I don't have any stories like that, but I tend to keep my head in the sand. So you live near Modesto? I grew up near there in Santa Clara.
just checkin in...i read often, but don't always have time to comment.
xoxo
p.s. no dumb crook stories that i can think of right now...
Hey there, Grandy,
I don't think I can top your story!
Thanks for visiting. Been a while, lady.
Hugs,
Renie
How about a cop that swears he was shot at because his window was broken even though all the neighborhood didn't hear a damn thing, and there isn't any evidence of a bullet. Hmmm....maybe the truck that drove past him kicked up a rock and broke the window????
Now the cop feels like a heel and is still insisting that he was shot at. So, he is personally awarding anyone with information. What a shithead!!!
So, when are you going to take my challenge? Check out my post today to understand it a little more.
Seriously, I prefer my head in the sand where "the news" is concerned.

Somehow I missed this bit of cRaZiNeSs until today. What a strange world out there … Methinks I must have my head in the sand … but I’m trying to come up for air and visit a few bloggers to remember why I do this this thing ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
