REUSED CHIPS AT THE MEXICAN RESTAURANT

     Have you ever wondered if Mexican restaurants reused the chips leftover from previous patrons? I actually never wondered that because I always gave the restaurants the benefit of the doubt.

     Well, you might want to think twice before going to town on a restaurant's free chips and salsa. Not only will they make you so full you won't be able to eat your actual food, they also might be someone else's leftovers. Let that sit for a few minutes. Gross, right? 

     Su Casa, a Mexican restaurant in Michigan, has been accused of reusing uneaten chips and salsa and serving it to other customers. The mother of a 16-year-old busser at the restaurant, Kristie Bowie, revealed Su Casa's practices last week on Facebook. According to the post, the restaurant's management told Bowie's daughter that she should not "throw away the salsa, chips, etc. that come back that 'looked' like they haven't been touched." A policy that sure, prevents food waste, but promotes feelings of nausea. 

     Bowie's daughter confronted the restaurant's owner about the chip policy. When he admitted it was true, the teenager put in her notice. The owner then allegedly belittled the teenager telling her she had no common sense and "asked her if she is such a clean freak, why was her apron dirty?"

     When confronted by the media about the allegations, the restaurant owner claimed he didn't know what he was doing was wrong. He said, "I thought it was okay." He said that he has not learned his lesson and will throw out all unused food moving forward. So, regardless of his actions moving forward, what about the patrons in the past? And the ones who got sick from this practice? Are there other restaurants doing this as well? It's disgusting!

     The practice of reusing already touched food is potentially unsafe and a little disturbing for germaphobes around the world. A 2009  study found that double-dipping a chip into a dip like salsa or cheese can transfer bacteria from the dipper's mouth to the bowl. Based on these numbers, if restaurant salsa is reused within 120 minutes, patrons could be consuming strangers' bacteria. Even worse than that, re-serving food can also increase the risk of contracting viruses like hepatitis A, which is often transmitted though contaminated food. This means if an infected person touches food, like free chips or a bread basket, and the food is then re-served to another table, members at the second table could be at risk for contracting the virus.

     What's the moral of the story here? Stick to non-communal foods that you don't suspect will be re-purposed. Maybe, you can load up on margaritas before you eat. This way, you won't even realize you're being contaminated. Oh, God! Does it even pay to eat out anymore? Like I asked before, how many other restaurants use this practice? Disgusting!

NO HORSING AROUND

     Okay, before I even start writing this blog, I need to say that I DO have an alibi. When I was in Lancaster, PA this weekend for a wedding on a farm, there were no horses harmed on that farm, nor were there any mini-horses on the farm.

     That being said, a Lancaster County man was charged with burglary and having sexual intercourse with an animal, after a eyewitness reported seeing a suspicious man coming out of a barn in West Cocalico Township earlier this month. 

     The witness reported a license plate number, and according to Ephrata police say that 21-year-old Travis L. Wagner of Rheinholds, PA was arrested after the license plate was tracked back to him. The incident occurred on August 16 in the evening. The witness stated that a vehicle parked near a barn, and the driver went inside for a short time, then left. 

     When police interviewed Wagner, he admitted going into the barn to have intercourse with miniature horse housed in there. He said that he found the horse "super-sexy" and just couldn't help himself. Okay, I made that part up, but he seriously broke into a barn to bang a min-horse. Take that in for a second. Some of you might be thinking that's pretty gross. I'm thinking, "Wow, this guy, must be hung like a horse!" How could a human penis even fit into a horse, mini or regular sized. 

     Wagner was arraigned this past Monday morning and released on only $5,000 unsecured bail. The burglary charge, a second degree felony, carries a maximum penalty of not more than 10 years in prison. The sexual intercourse with an animal charge, a second degree misdemeanor, carries a maximum sentence of not more than two years in prison. Wow! So banging an animal only gets you a couple of years in prison? Interesting....and gross!

COCKS NOT GLOCKS?

     I'm sure many of you saw this story yesterday, but in the event that you didn't, here it is. Now, I'm not one to debate anything political because to be honest, I know jack shit about politics. I do know, however, that we are screwed after this election. When it comes to guns, and this is just my opinion, so you debaters looking for a debate can find it somewhere else, I feel people have a right to bear arms to protect themselves in this crazy world, but just like all things in life, there's a time an place for it. Do I think that obtaining a firearm should be a little bit more difficult. Hell yeah! I mean there should be a total psychiatric evaluation when giving someone a gun. That might help lower the bloodshed in America. Again, just the way I feel. 

     That being said, to protest a new state law that makes the carrying of concealed handguns legal in college classrooms, students at the University of Texas on Wednesday openly displayed sex toys, an act considered illegal under local indecency laws. The leader of the protest, Jessica Jin (pictured above) said, "We are fighting absurdity with absurdity. 'Cocks Not Glocks: Campus (Dildo) Carry,' where hundreds of sex toys were given away at the rally on Wednesday that coincided with a return to classes at the university flagship campus. 

     Jin stated, "Texas has decided it is not all obnoxious or illegal to allow deadly concealed weapons on campus, but walking around with a dildo could land you in trouble." On August 1, a so-called "campus carry" law went into effect that allows concealed handgun license holders aged 21 and older to bring handguns into classrooms and other university facilities. The lawmakers said campus carry protects the rights of gun owners and could prevent a mass shooting on campus. Um....I don't know if I agree with that. Yes, it might protect from a mass shooting, but it call also be the cause of a mass shooting because once again, there is no evaluation of gun owners mentally. I definitely do not agree that guns should be allowed on campus or in a classroom. As a student going for my Master's Degree, I just would not feel comfortable with that. Like I said, I'm okay with people carrying, but I don't think it's necessary in a classroom. You might ask, "Well, Tim, when is it necessary?" I would say, "Just not in a classroom!" People are there for an education. Who will be able to concentrate knowing Joe Blow sitting next to you has a gun in his back pack. Say he accidentally forgets to put the safety on and the gun goes off. Oh, well, Debbie Downer sitting in the front row just got her head blown off and she was just here earning her degree. Accidents happen, right? 

     Anyway, hundreds of university faculty and staff lobbied unsuccessfully to block campus carry, arguing the combination of youth, academic stress, alcohol and firearms could make for a deadly combination. I might have to agree with that one. A U.S. district judge on Monday denied a motion from three University of Texas professors who wanted to ban guns in their classroom after the state gave some students that right under the law that went into effect earlier this month. 

     On Wednesday, protests organizers shouted slogans like, "If you are packing the heat, we are packing the meat." That his hilarious! They also handed out hundreds of sex toys donated by area sex shops. They also handed out plastic zip ties so that protesters could strap the sex toys on their backpacks in a sign of defiance against campus carry. Since I'm being honest here, this protest was utterly silly and hilarious, but in all reality, they do have a point as far as carrying guns on campus. It doesn't sound like they're fighting the right to bare arms.....Just the right to bare arms on a college campus. It is pretty funny that they were all carrying around dildos on campus. My question is how many guys actually carried one around? My other question is how many women used their new sex toy after the protest was over? See? I can always take it there.    

CHEECH AND CHONG BABYSITTER'S CLUB

     Welcome to blog number 1000 for me! That means there were 1000 blog posts by me about teacher-student sex, stupid sex mishaps, marijuana use and abuse, rants, and Florida. For those of you who read regularly, I thank you! And I also thank those of you who have reached out on a personal level to tell me you love reading my buzzkill blogs! I keep writing these to keep you entertained....and because the stupidity keep happening! 

     So, what else do I write about for my 1000th blog post? Well, there were no teacher-student sexcapades yet since school starts in two weeks here on the east coast, but so of course there's marijuana! This story will have you up in arms....or at least, up in smoke! 

     Anyway, two dopes from Fort Hall, Idaho, were arrested over the weekend for smoking a joint around a young boy and shotgunning the smoke into his mouth. For those wondering what "shotgunning" is, a "friend" told me it was the art of inhaling the joint or cigarette and then blowing it into a willing participant's mouth, so they can inhale the smoke. In this case, it was a little boy! What the hell is wrong with people? 

     Here's the kicker, the women thought what they were doing was so funny, they decided to post a video of it on Facebook. Needless to say, the video went viral. I'm sure it went viral because people were mortified by it and not because it was hilarious. The video actually had me cringing. 

     One woman in the video says to the boy, "You getting high? He's high, he's off blazing it!" The same woman can then be seen taking a photo of the child. The two women in the video were arrested for child endangerment. The Fort Hall Police Department said investigators are currently requesting warrants for the remaining two adults in the video, which has since been removed. As the investigation is ongoing, Fort Hall Police say they won't release any further info, including the adults' relation to the child. 

     I have to say that this kid is going to grow up pretty messed up, for sure. I mean these people are trash. To be honest, I am one who likes to partake, and I would never do this to a child. I wouldn't even do it to a pet. It's a waste of good weed! Just kidding! It can really mess a child up. Then again, if my babysitter molested me or blew pot smoke in my face, I might be okay with that. But that's me! I'm already screwed up in the head! Now, I'm just babbling! Take a look at this video footage and thank you again, for always reading my ramblings!

IF YOU SMELL LIKE CHICKEN......

     Yes, the summer is coming to an end, but it doesn't mean you still can't go to the beach, right? There's still time to get a glowing tan, and smell like extra crispy fried chicken? Yes, I said extra crispy fried chicken. It turns out, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or KFC as it likes to be called now, is giving away tubes of sunscreen that makes you smell like you've slathered yourself in the Colonel's secret 11 herbs and spices. Um.....I'm not so sure about this. I might want to eat myself. 

     In addition to protecting its customers from the harmful effects of the sun, this bizarre promotion is clearly an effort by KFC to turn sunbathers, swimmers and everyone at the beach into walking subliminally to the food chain for the chain's fried fast food. I guess that's kind of the same tactic Abercrombie and Fitch uses to get customers into their stores. I mean come on. Every time you walk by an A&F store, all you smell is their cologne. It draws people into their stores. 

     In one way, the idea is genius. In another way, it sounds freaking disgusting. Regardless, of how you feel about the promotion, it's not finger licking good! The sunscreen is not edible. The KFC sunscreen doesn't need to be bought or nothing has to be purchased to obtain a tube of this stuff. You just need to cough up all of your personal details like shipping address. If you miss out, you can probably have the same experience by just smearing real fried chicken grease all over your body before heading to the beach. It will also give you the opportunity to get real friendly with the local seagulls. 

     I have to be honest. This is disgusting! But if I was going to use a food-based sunscreen, I think I might hold out for the Big Mac or Quarter Pounder with Cheese sunscreen. Or how about the Chicken McNuggets sunscreen. Now, those are sunscreens I may consider! Who am I kidding? I don't even use sunscreen. This, however, is pretty gross!
   

SILENCE OF THE LAMB

     And we're back to Florida! Shocker, right? This is 19-year-old Austin Harrouff of Tequesta, Florida. He looks like your average American college kid, doesn't he? Would you believe it if I told you he's an ice cold cannibalistic murderer? Well, probably, since he is from Florida. I better stop making fun of Florida before I'm not allowed back into the state. I actually love Florida. 

     Anyway, Harrouff was having dinner with his family on Monday night, when he suddenly grew angry and stormed out of the restaurant, killed two people, then ate one of the victim's face off. Yes, I said, "ate one of the victim's face off!" Moments after Harrouff stormed out of the restaurant, police responded to a 911 call of a stabbing attack and arrived to find Harrouff biting off part of the dead man's face in the driveway of the victim's home in Tequesta. The man's wife was found dead in the garage and a neighbor suffered multiple stab wounds. 

     Harrouff was charged with a double homocide and taken to a nearby hospital, where he remained unconscious. People and hospital workers have completed some tests, but have not yet found any evidence of drug use. According to the Martin County Sheriff's Department, "He was a good kid. He had no criminal record." They also continued that Harrouff also had no apparent relationship to his victims and that the attack seemed to be completely random. The victims were identified as 59-year-old John Stevens and his wife, 53-year-old Michelle Mischcon, who are now survived by daughter Ivy Stevens.

     The Sheriff says that there is not one thing in this case that makes any sense. Harrouff does not fit the typical description of a deranged murderer. He was a star high school football player and excellent student taking advanced placement classes in the International Baccalaureate programs at school. He was home fore the weekend visiting family and some of his fraternity brothers. 

     The teen was eating dinner with his family in a local sports bar when he grew enraged by something, like the service, and stormed out of the eatery. He walked a few blocks in the direction of his father's house and came across Stevens and Mischcon sitting in their garage with the door open, which is what they did every evening, according to neighbors. Harrouff allegedly just attacked the couple using multiple weapons, including a knife and other blunt objects, killing them both. A neighbor attempted to stop the boy, but the teen turned to him and said, "You don't want any of this," before attacking him with a knife as well. The neighbor escaped to call 911. He is currently undergoing surgery with non-life threatening injuries. 

     When deputies arrived, they found Harrouff crouched over Stevens, grunting and growling like an animal, and eating his face. After attempting to subdue Harrouff with a stun gun and K-9 to no effect, three to four police officers managed to pull the college sophomore from the body and place him under arrest and heavy sedation.

     The Sheriff's Department said the preliminary tests have found no drugs in his system, but he wouldn't be surprised if more in depth testing finds evidence of the Flakka drug, technically known as alpha-PVP, a strong, synthetic, psychoactive stimulant similar to "bath salts." Okay, that's pretty crazy! This attack was similar to another famous Florida case from 2012, where bath salts were attributed to a man eating a homeless man's face, but police, at the time, only found marijuana in his system. Man, this Zombie Apocalypse is going to be here before you know it. It can all start from a stupid man-made drug called Flakka! What the hell? 

HE WAS JUST TRYING TO STOP HER FROM SEEING HER EX

    
     What would you do if you didn't want your other half traveling to visit an ex? Well, why would they be traveling to visit an ex in the first place? Secondly, if they loved you enough, they wouldn't be traveling to see them once they realized it really bothered you, right? 

     Well, this Queens man, Danesh Gomanie, took it to a whole new level. He was willing to do anything for love, including even calling in a bomb threat at JFK Airport to stop his girl from seeing her ex-husband. Gomanie, 33, a mechanic at an aviation company located in JFK, allegedly dialed 911 on July 27 at 10 am under the name "Singh", telling the operator a woman would be "carrying a bomb and/or drugs" the next night on Caribbean Airlines Flight 527.

     FBI agents were able to trace the call to Gomanie's cell phone. The lovesick prank caller admitted he made the threat because he was upset that she was flying to Guyana and was "fearful that she might reunite with her ex-husband who lived there."

     Okay, so maybe not all of the morons are in Florida. I guess some are still here in NYC. Why would you jeopardize your whole life and your job over a girl? If she's traveling to see her ex, she's doing it with or without your consent anyway. Now what? She probably broke up with your ass for being so insecure. You now have a criminal record because of your stupid bomb threat stunt. And worst of all, you might be out of a job. How does that feel, Danesh? Now, you have nothing! And it was all over a girl, who might have wanted to just go home to Guyana and would probably have not seen her ex. 

     Gomanie appeared Tuesday in Brooklyn federal court and was released on $20,000 bail. Oh, and now you're out $20,000.....over a girl! I bet you wish you could take back that phone call now.
