BYB Express


It's Friday again and you know what that means - another BYB Express. Don't think of it as getting less blog. Just think of it getting more time to speculate about where Lebron is headed.

F My Life Moment of the Day
Today, I leaned back and bumped into one of my mom's plants in the window. The good thing was that I caught it before it fell and shattered. The bad thing was that my mom likes to keep cactii in the window. I can still feel thorns I haven't managed to pluck out yet. FML

Wal Mart Person of the Day

It looks like the joke is on all of us.

Douchebag Dance Fever.



Yes, that is Wes Welker shaking his groove thing courtside at the end of this video. Personally I think the only fair thing would be for Paul Pierce to go flying into the crowd and hit Welker, injuring them both and effectively ending both their seasons. I think I have enough karma points saved up for that.

Texts From Last Nite Moment of the Day
(401): Moms kinda upset I threw up in grandmas bedroom. I think ill stay in tonight.

Man loses relatives' ashes when car is towed
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin man has lost his father’s and grandfather’s ashes when the car where they were stored was towed and destroyed.

Wausau police say everything in Shawn Leslie’s 1994 Mercury Cougar was tossed before the towing company crushed it. Leslie says he thought the car was safe when he parked it in a lot behind a Wausau diner. He says the lot’s owner gave him permission to park while he was out of town driving a truck for a living.

But the lot’s manager, Ray Burris, says the owner never gave Leslie permission, and he called the police after the vehicle sat for more than six months. Then he had it towed.

A person who answered the phone at the towing company declined to comment Friday. Tom Howells of the Wisconsin Towing Association says owners should be notified before cars are destroyed.

This guy must have really not cared much about his father and grandfather to store their ashes in his car for six months. If he really had no place to put the ashes he should have taken the ashes with him on the long haul. Geez, Walter and the Dude had Donny's ashes put in a coffee can and they were more respectful than this dude.

Burglar feasts on sandwiches, but leaves money
AP

DES MOINES, Iowa – Police said a burglar broke into a Des Moines Subway store, helped himself to a smorgasbord of cold cuts and made sandwiches for the journey home — but left the store's cash behind. Police Sgt. Lori Lavorato said the thief got inside the shop through a drive-up window Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Lavorato said the burglar made some sandwiches and took a significant amount of cold cut meats, bread and cookies, but that he failed to find the store's kitty, which was hidden.

Police have no suspects.

I have a feeling this was this was just some drunk college kid who wanted some late nite food and didn't want to sit in the long ass Whataburger line. And I have to give him props for finishing the job. It takes quite the ballsy bastard to climb through a drive thru window and dessimate a Subway sandwhich line. Aside from the fear of getting caught there is the sheer difficulty of getting into the small space of the window and the challenge of building your own sandwhich. Not everyone can do that you know. That's why they call them sandwhich artists.
