Here’s the Ass of the Week!

A Wendy’s employee told police she was walking UP to the drive-thru window from the inside just after 11 p.m. when a black man wearing a ski mask approached the drive-thru with a gun. She told police the man told her to put the cash drawer on the counter.

Atlanta police said the robber grabbed the cash drawer and took off on foot.

Excuse me, but it’s the drive thru!  Law-breaker! 

One witness told police he saw a man throw something into the bushes by the InTown Suites, which is close to the “Dining Establishment”.

The Atlanta Police sprung into action and found the cash drawer in said bushes and dusted it for prints.

No one said if TAOTW was wearing gloves…let’s hope not! 

Later on, while officers were STILL at the restaurant, Officer K.Y. Jones (no, I did not make that name UP) told a local television station reporter that , a man called the Wendy’s and said, “The next time, there better be more than $586.”

And then he called back.

Caller ID anyone?

So, congrats, Mr. Ski-maskWendy’sArmedRobber, you’re the first Fashion Friday Ass of the Week!

And for all you criminals out there…it’s August – Ski-Masks are “Winter Robbery Wear”…geez, get some fashion sense!

I’m sure they won’t publish it, and I know it means little to anyone outside my Bronco Arena of friends, but since I have this platform, here goes.

Dear Douchebag Editor:

The headline “Family Arrested On Drug Charges” really caught my eye.   I am sure it was a realtively accurate story, of course showing the mugshots of the 17 and 19 old off-spring was a little tacky, but hey, as reported in your paper, they’ve been arrested, so who cares?  They’re probably guilty anyway. 

Yes, allegedly they had pot, yes they’ve allegedly been selling drugs for years, and yes, allegedly an anonymous tip got the Police to raid the home, and yes they allegedly found evidence of drug sales and drug paraphernalia.  But is the name of their high school all that important?

You mentioned that the young woman and the young man were students at Brookwood High School.  What is it with you and Brookwood?  No matter what happens, if it’s a Brookwood student, you mention it.  There are 20 other High Schools in Gwinnett County, and in 12 years, I’ve seen one other school, one other time mentioned in a negative news story.  That was Collins Hill, and we all know why you did that!

Let a BHS kid get locked UP, and bammo!  He’s a Brookwood Bronco – you must mention it.

And Oh My Cow – if he’s a Brookwood Bronco Football player, holy chautauqua, there’s at least another paragraph maligning the entire team all the coaches and the water-boy who are all surely guilty by association.  And if it’s a Cheerleader – holy cow!

What’s UP with that?

Your kids go to Parkview?

Seriously, it seems that the School must be responsible for the actions of the kid.  Not so.  There are over 20,000 graduates of BHS, and most of them are doing just fine, staying out of jail, working, raising families, paying taxes and buying your shoddy, pathetic, ink-bleeding rag.   

Some of them are stars; Jason Elam (who holds the record for the longest field goal in NFL history), Amy Robach of Televeison News , Jason Bulger, Jennifer Ferrin (soap opera star), Stephon Heyer, Michael Kelly,  Jackson (Amy) Pearce, Amanda Weir, Rennie Curran (UGA and Tennessee Titans), and Mansfield Wrotto to name a few!

Did I mention my kids went there, and I worked there?  Well, they did and I did, and we’re pretty proud of it!

So, the next time someone from BHS is cuffed, leave that part alone.  It’s hardly fair to paint the entire student body, staff, and faculty with the same brush!

Oh, BTW, do something about that ink problem – geez!

…isn’t just the name of the first band signed by Apple Records.

It’s something people do, which they should not!

Angry drivers, snarky kids, rude adults, drunks, kids posing for pictures which they’ll post on Facebook, and angrier drivers.

Going with my usual philosophy and goal of only breaking one law at the time, I was driving the speed limit on Saturday, when the adult male in the Toyota Sienna filled with children zoomed around me and “flipped me off”.

Seriously, Dad, great example.  Reallllllllllllllllllll mature!

What’s UP with growing rudenss?

I’m always in a hurry, rushing, trying to get everything done, trying to get somewhere, but I don’t need a ticket.  So, I try to stay with the flow of traffic or go the speed limit.  In the Atlanta Metro Area, the “flow of traffic” is either stop or go – as fast as you can.  With five million people, the Southern City that Never Sleeps has plenty of angry agressive drivers. 

Far too many of them tell me I’m number one.

So, mini-van dad, the next time you wave at me, use your entire hand.  I think the kids will appreciate it later on.

And so will you, those teacher-parent conferences can be dicey!

The Waffle House I go to is closed for remodeling!

What will I do?

For four days!

Now I have to find another one, retrain the staff on my coffee Redneck Latte, instruct them on the proper preparation of my breakfast, and explain “my special pricing”.

It’s gonna be a tough four days.

I’ll try to be nice anyway.
