Cops: Teen Had Loaded Revolver In Her Vagina

Stolen weapon found during search at Tennessee jail 

APRIL 22--A 19-year-old Tennessee woman had a loaded handgun hidden in her vagina when she was brought into jail yesterday afternoon following a collar for driving with a suspended license, police report.
As Dallas Archer was being booked into the Kingsport jail, a female corrections officer alerted to an “unknown object” in the teenager’s crotch during a search.
The jailer and a female cop then accompanied Archer to a bathroom for further examination, a review that led to the recovery of a “North American Arms 22 LR revolver (loaded) which Ms. Dallas had concealed in her vagina,” according to a Kingsport Police Department report.

 

She's not a girl.. who misses much...

 

 

2. Sharp Dressed Man

Phish fans have long known about Cactus' unique brand of style...

But no one expected him to make it into Esquire! Must have been the scarves..

How I Dress Now: Phish's Mike Gordon

An inside look at bucking expectations and dressing like a rock star.

The name Phish doesn’t call to mind style, at least not in the traditional sense. 

It's understandable that the band's mere mention brings to mind a sea of dusty tie-dye and massive patchwork corduroy pants. This wookie-hippie image is harder to shake than a head full of wet dreadlocks, but the band, and to some degree their scene, is still going strong more than 30 years deep, and has undergone some transformations. 

Musical evolution is inevitable with a group like Phish who, love or hate them, is overflowing with creativity and talent, but you might be surprised to see that these themes also extends to the band's appearance—and we're not just talking about playing a vacuum cleaner while wearing a dress. And, with the recent embrace of Birkenstocks and Tevas, the fashion world might just be ready to meet them halfway. 

With these developments on our minds, we met up with bassist Mike Gordon at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, where he was winding up a solo tour in support of his new album, Overstep, to get a glimpse into the surprisingly very stylish men

 

Some highlights:

Even the band knows Fishman outside of his dress, isn't Fishman at all.. 

The dress is still around. Yeah, that never went away. That was a ritual too. If he [Jon Fishman, drummer] didn’t wear the dress it would be a bad gig. He had a three-piece suit he was wearing at one point too for a while, and those were bad gigs, and so back came the dress.

Prince invited Phish to one of his parties..(no word on if he served them blueberry pancakes)

We got ourselves invited to a party at Prince’s house. We heard it was creative formal, whatever that meant. So we went to this Italian suit shop, and within half an hour got four Italian suits, got pinned up and the whole deal. Then we got there and we learned what we thought was creative wasn’t creative

And oh yeah.. he shared the story behind this epic pic...

Yup. True Fashion Icons These Guys..

Canadian Strip Club Doubles As Church

A gentleman's club in Guelph, Ontario, is holding church services right on the stage next to the stripper pole.
The Manor, as the club is called, held services for the first time on Easter.
Jack Ninaber and his wife Sharon decided they would host a Christian fellowship service at the unconventional space in order to bring religion to those who don't feel comfortable seeking it out, CTV reports.


I heard this guy gave the Easter Mass..

8. The Future Is Now

Apparently, the forward thinkers of 1964 were on the right track.. somewhat. Still waiting on those jetpacks (and hoverboards for that matter)

1964 World’s Fair tech predictions had some hits, misses

This 1964 file photo from the World's Fair in the Queens borough of New York shows a views of the future in the “Futurama 2” ride put together by General Motors. The millions of visitors who attended the New York World’s Fair that opened in 1964 were introduced to a range of technological innovations and predictions. Some of those turned out to be right on the money and others, perhaps thankfully, were way off the mark.

NEW YORK - Video phone calls? Yeah, we do that. Asking computers for information? Sure, several times a day. Colonies on the moon and jet packs as a mode of everyday transportation. OK, maybe not.
The New York World's Fair of 1964 introduced 51 million visitors to a range of technological innovations and predictions, some that turned out to be right on the money and others that, perhaps thankfully, were way off the mark.


While we're here.. remember the old Loony Tunes take on the future? Let's see how they stack up...

This works so well, it's almost like Dark Side / Wizard of Oz.. you kinda have to wonder if they did it on purpose.. Either way, I have been rocking out to this non-stop for the past 24 hours.. and I'm not even remotely ashamed of that.

And talk about the Home of the Future. Ray Parker is the true visionary here..
