3. “Man Forced to Eat His Own Beard in Fight over Lawnmower”

Fat Kentucky Man-forced-to-eat-beard

November 12th, 2010. A headline that will forever live in infamy. A Kentucky man who looked like he’d never required force to eat anything in his life, recounted the story of how some drunks accused him of lawnmower chicanery and made him shave and eat his own beloved whiskers — a story he began with the now-immortal words, “And ‘fore I knowed it, ever’ thang wint haywahr.”

NEVER FORGET.

2. “Doctor who was arrested for groping a woman while dressed as Captain America with a burrito in his pants will not go to jail”

BurritoCaptainAmerica

Silly reader, I bet you didn’t think the universe could top that headline about the guy eating his own beard, did you. Wrong. Back in May, Dr. Raymond Adamcik here was arrested for groping a chick while holding a burrito. It was… the most American news story of all time. It was like if Hulk Hogan dressed as Uncle Sam was arrested for having sex with an apple pie he stole from an Indian. (*hums America the Beautiful*)

Of course it happened in Florida. Behold, the three greatest paragraphs in the history of journalism:

On Saturday night, when a costume party full of medical professionals stopped at On Tap Cafe, police said Adamcik had a burrito stuffed below the waistband of his costume and was asking women if they want to touch it. When one refused, he allegedly took out the burrito and groped her.

The woman called police and, when they arrived, the officers wrote in their report “there were so many cartoon characters in the bar at the time, all Captain America’s were asked to go outside for a possible identification.”

The woman pointed out Adamcik and the burrito was found in his boot. He was taken to the police station. There, while in a holding cell, police said, he asked to use the bathroom and tried to flush a joint, also hidden in his blue tights, down the toilet.

Dude was rocking a utility belt filled with joints and burritos? Best. Superhero. Ever. As 2010 comes to a close, my new year’s resolution is to party with this guy.
