Odd Dad Out

This week's stories come magically in pairs. I've got a couple of people with, let's just say, "questionable" beliefs. I've got a pair of stories about paying WAY too much for something all because of perceived value. A pair of cocaine dealers tied for the "Jackass Of The Week." This week's featured podcast even stars a pair of crazy ladies, it's She Podcasts.

This week we seem to have a new addition around the house in the form of a stray dog. I've got a bit of a rant about the Duggar family. A theme of sexual "misconduct" from live sexual harassment and a cross dressing contest winner to a Navy porn actor. Plus a couple lessons from dumb criminals, and this week's featured podcast, "Within the Wires."

-Around the House-
This week we may possibly be getting a new puppy. And by that I mean, We've probably just gotten a new puppy. Long story short, my sister saw a stray puppy on the side of a busy road. She picked it up and had it checked out with her vet friends, but she can't keep a dog in her apartment. So, here we come, as the only ones nearby with a house, and for some reason the inability to say no when she needs to unload animals. She's making flyers and posting up on lost dog pages and things. In the mean time, we are puppy sitting. Of course if nobody claims this dog, we have another dog.

-Entertainment News-

Navy SEAL Being Investigated For Moonlighting As Porn Actor
A highly decorated Navy SEAL, and husband to porn star Jewels Jade, is being investigated for his part-time porn career.

-JACKASS OF THE WEEK-

Dentist pulled tooth while riding hoverboard

An Ohio robber's handwriting was so bad on his note that the clerk couldn't read it. The Family Dollar clerk had to hand it back to him to read aloud. He then got away with all of the clerk's money and a pack of cigarettes. The lesson here seems to be, penmanship counts.

Within The Wires
http://www.nightvalepresents.com/withinthewires/

"Set within an alternate reality, “Within the Wires” tells stories in the guise of instructional audio programs. Season One, “Relaxation Cassettes," is a 10 part scripted fiction podcast that takes the form of an audio course on full body relaxation issued by The Institute to you, (the listener) a nameless medical inmate. Who is this narrator? Is she relaying something more than just relaxation techniques, and is she to be trusted? And are there subliminal messages hidden within the music? As listeners move through the relaxation curriculum a deeper and more personal story unravels."
