Tweet of the Week:  

@briangaar
The guy in the next urinal peed so hard that a little got on me and I thought “damn this dude is good at peeing”

Things I liked this week:

-I asked my son the biggest number he could think of, the answer? One Million Hundred and Ten.

-Car drove up behind me yesterday on I-70. It was a Toyota Carolla with all sorts of Nascar-esque racing stickers all over it and a sign at the top of the windshield with the words written in reverse like an ambulance that said, “Slower Traffic Stay Right” with an arrow to the right lane.

-Nuggets laying wood to the Chicago Bulls…currently on an 8 game win streak and have won 14 of their last 16 games.

Today on VSR – Shorter show today, as I’m taking my kids to the Cutthroats game, but we will be doing our Magnificent Seven – Seven Favorite Weird Things that happened during Super Bowl 47 and we also have a new edition of Something to think about!

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

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A Tennessee man who quit his job after receiving a W-2 tax form stamped with the number 666 said he was trying to save his soul.

Walter Slonopas, 52, resigned as a maintenance worker at Contech Casting in Clarksville, Tennessee last week because he believes that accepting his W-2 form which was stamped with the number 666 would be a one-way ticket to hell. "If you accept that number, you sell your soul to the devil," he said.

Slonopas said he was initially given the number 666 to clock in when he was hired in April 2011 but his complaints led to it being changed to 668. He told the newspaper he resigned after the number reverted to 666 when the company changed time clock systems three months later but he returned to work a few days later when the company apologized.

Bob LaCourciere, a vice-president at Contech Casting, said he was shocked the mistake was repeated with a stamp on Slonopas' form.

"I am completely at a loss for words," he said.

LaCourciere said Slonopas will be issued a replacement form and he hopes the worker can be convinced to return to the company.

However, Slonopas said he will not return to Contech.

"God is worth more than money," he told The Tennessean.

SABADELL, Spain, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Spanish police said they arrested a suspected wallet thief who allegedly called his victim to ask for his credit card personal identification number.

Investigators said the suspect, identified as Joan Carles M.M., 28, of Sabadell, tried to guess the number too many times after stealing the Solsona man's wallet in December and ended up with a block on the card, ThinkSpain reported Thursday.

The man then used the information from the victim's wallet to call the card's owner and posed as a Visa customer service representative. He asked for the man's PIN and was given the correct code, but the card would no longer work due to his previous attempts.

PENN YAN, N.Y. (AP) — You know your mother loves you when she is willing to smuggle Oxycodone into the jail where you are incarcerated. Especially when she passes you the pills via an open-mouthed kiss.

That is what investigators allege transpired last Tuesday when Kimberly Margeson, 54, visited her offspring in an upstate New York lockup. Margeson’s son, William Partridge, 30, was being held following a weapons arrest.

According to a Yates County Sheriff’s Department report, Margeson put the Oxycodone pills “into her mouth and brought them into the jail when she visited her son.” She then passed two pills “from her mouth to her sons mouth when she kissed him.”

Deputies did not indicate whether tongue was involved in the transfer of the two painkiller pills, which were apparently intended for Partridge’s personal use and not resale.

Margeson was arrested and charged with a felony drug count. She and Partridge were also each hit with a misdemeanor count of promoting prison contraband.
