Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)

BUFFALO, New York - Name dropping is common when facing trouble with the law, but Lindsay Lohan (as much experience as she has with the law) is not a name you want to drop when you’re trying to get yourself out of trouble.
A Buffalo man made it into Canada, but got a little tripped up on his way back into America when border agents said they noticed he was wearing an ankle monitor.
What was his explanation? He told the agents he was sporting the bracelet to show support for Lindsay Lohan.
There are several things wrong with this excuse. For one, was he really expecting somebody to believe that? And for two, no one is supporting Lindsay and if they are, they’re certainly not doing it by wearing an ankle monitor.
He told customs officers he got the angle bracelet from a friend who’s a probation officer. He forgot to mention that, that friend isn’t just some probation officer, but rather his probation officer. And oh yeah, he’s not supposed to leave the country!
On top of everything, agents say he was trying to use somebody else’s passport. With such a ridiculous story he was pretty smart in at least trying to pretend he was somebody else.

The Netherlands - A Dutch priest has been suspended for dedicating a Mass to the Dutch national soccer team -- while wearing an orange cloak -- ahead of the World Cup final against Spain.
Priest Paul Vlaar from the town of Obdam prayed last Sunday for team spirit for the national team, while worshippers, also dressed in orange clothes, were singing soccer songs in the church. It was decorated with orange flags.
The Haarlem-Amsterdam diocese said in a statement Friday that Vlaar "failed to do justice to the holiness of the celebration of the Eucharist."
Bishop Jozef Marianus Punt has imposed a period of reflection on the priest with immediate effect.
Vlaar's prayers appear to have fallen on deaf ears, however, as the Dutch lost the match 1-0.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- The days when a citizen could address the Boulder City Council wearing only underwear may be over. The council will vote on new decorum rules in September, seven months after a resident stepped up to a microphone in his boxers.

The rules were already under review, but that incident led to a proposed ban on undressing during meetings.

It's not the first time the university town has wrestled with how much clothing is enough. In April, the city barred teens and adults from showing their genitals in public. That could put the wraps on two annual traditions that involve running or cycling naked.

But the council declined to outlaw topless females, despite complaints about a woman who gardens in a thong and gloves.


Setauket, NEW YORK (Reuters) – And now a story about the coolest bank robber ever…The Force was with a man when he robbed a bank wearing a Darth Vader mask and a cape.
Armed with a gun instead of a light saber, the man entered a Chase bank branch in Setauket, New York, about 50 miles east of New York City, on Thursday and demanded cash from a teller, police said. He fled through a parking lot with an undisclosed amount of money.
The bandit dressed as the "Star Wars" villain was part of a mini-outbreak of unusual bank robbers in the New York area.
Earlier this week, New York City police arrested a man accused of robbing two banks with a bunch of flowers and a potted plant.

Week in Wankery:

Yellow Card:
-Ebay person from England who bid on my item even though it said “United States” only.
-People who wait for someone to pull out rather than just going down six or seven spots to the empty parking spot.
-Girl behind me consumed by lacrosse.
-My glasses
-My eyes in general. I’m not sure if it’s because of me wearing my old glasses, but they have been tearing up like I’m a middle-aged woman watching Steel Magnolias. It’s been bad.

Man of the Match: Bill Murray - Goes up behind people, puts his hands over their eyes, when they turn around he says "No one will believe you."


Red Card:
-Adam Miezin: Keeps getting upset at me saying that I am ripping him. All I’ve done is defend him and say I think that Cleveland should win a championship. However, if he wants a war, he gets a war. The Red Card goes to My-Zin, and what’s more, it’s the inspiration for this…(Clip 7 – Magnificent 7 Music)
