My Sinister Mind

-
I had to visit the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center this afternoon. This, for my friends outside for the Detroit area, is essentially Detroit's city hall.

While there, I couldn't help but notice this sign posted at the entrance.

Banned from City Hall
The interesting fact is, when I saw this sign, I immediately started to think of things that aren't on the list, but that could still be dangerous. For example, baseball bats are prohibited from city hall. Rugby bats, however, are not on that list.

There's a part of me, therefore, that is seriously tempted to try bringing a rugby bat into city hall - just to see what will happen.

I am sinister, if not outright evil, for pondering this.

Of course, I'm also nostalgic for the days when one could bring almost any of those items into city hall - or any other government building, for that matter. I guess this is the first sign that I'm getting old.

Hat pins. Bic pens (remember Jason Bourne?). Chop sticks. Kabob sticks. Toothpicks. A ninja. Sewing needles. Spray perfume. Glass shards. Knitting needles. A bottle of water and a seeing eye cat. Magnifying glass. A fork. Rat poison. A heart med pill. A heart med patch. A dirty diaper. A fruit cake. Okay, I'll stop! :P

You're not sinister. You're an innocent. I have red neck relatives....I learn a lot from them ;}

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.

33 Women in 2 Weeks?

James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.
