DONORA, Pa. – A western Pennsylvania man was wearing a jail inmate costume when he was arrested for weapons possession and for insulting police who came to arrest his friend on Halloween.

22-year-old Gregory Moon was still wearing the black-and-white striped costume when he was arraigned early Monday. He was given a bright orange jumpsuit when a district judge sent him to the Washington County Jail where he has yet to post $250,000 bond.

Police say Moon, of Charleroi, was arrested when they answered a disturbance call at a housing project in Donora about 2:45 a.m. Monday. Police say they arrested a friend of Moon's who fought with officers, causing the police to arrest Moon for possessing a stolen gun after he too started yelling at police.

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Roman Catholic bishops in Wisconsin are urging their parishioners not to bring weapons to church now that a new state law permits Wisconsin residents to carry concealed firearms.

"Intuitively, we understand that acts of violence, destruction, and murder are antithetical to the message and person of Jesus Christ and have no rightful place in our society, especially sacred places," the bishops said just before the law went into effect on Tuesday.

"We ask that all people seriously consider not carrying weapons into church buildings as a sign of reverence for these sacred spaces," they said.


NEW YORK – A New York City man has filed a lawsuit seeking $48,000 to recreate his 2003 wedding, even though the marriage ended in divorce.

The New York Times reported this week that Todd Remis sued H & H Photographers claiming that they missed the last dance and the bouquet toss.

Remis wants to be repaid the $4,100 cost of the photography. He also wants $48,000 to recreate the entire wedding and fly the principals to New York so the celebration can be re-shot by another photographer.

The studio says that might be difficult since the bride has returned to her native Latvia.

The owner of the photography studio called the case "an abuse of the legal system."

Musical Chairs Reality Show??

The CW is developing a new reality show "Extreme Musical Chairs"

The series would transform the popular children's game into a physically demanding competition with multiple rounds of elimination set in an indoor obstacle course.

CW's interest in the project is a sign of the network's efforts to broaden the appeal of its programming. Most shows on the network have been carefully tailored to young femmes with an emphasis on fashion and celebs. They are now apparently actively courting the mentally handicapped.


Something to Think About:

1. I don’t trust waiters at Mexican restaurants who call me “Amigo”
2. There is no delicate way to say Diarrhea, also, I will NEVER be able to spell that word from memory
3. My new theory: The quality of BBQ is inversely proportional to the sophistication of the local population. Taking that theory to extremes: Cavemen must have had just exquisite BBQ.
4. How did bike helmets so quickly become acceptable? When I was a kid NO one wore one, now you never see a kid without one.
5. In light of Halloween, have you ever had a full-size Mr. Goodbar? Seems like they only come in minis.
6. Hostess approximate wait times are total crap
7. Getting Lotto tickets at work, having to pay the taxes for the buck
8. The most intimidating thing ever for a football crowd to do to the opponents: Whistle the Andy Griffith Theme in unison. (Clip 38)
