Karaoke singer attacked after starting song

It could have been the Coldplay song "Yellow" that upset the patron of a Wallingford neighborhood bar. Or perhaps it was the karaoke singer who belted it out.

Employees at Changes, on North 45th Street, said they don't know, but the ensuing melee just past 1 a.m. Thursday was one unlike anything seen at the bar before.

As soon as the man on stage started singing about the stars in his best Chris Martin impersonation, the woman reportedly said: "Oh, no, not that song. I can't stand that song!"

Witnesses said her distaste for Coldplay quickly took a violent turn, and she leaped at the would-be crooner, shouting expletives and telling him that his singing "sucked," while expressing the same opinion of the song, according to a Seattle police report.

She pushed the man and punched him, all in an effort to stop his singing.

Seattle Police arrested a 35-year-old man for indecent exposure at Green Lake Park on Monday afternoon after a woman caught the man beating off in the bushes.

According to the police report, the woman hid behind a tree and called police while she watched the man masturbate. While on the phone, the woman told police she “thought that [the man] had some kind of flesh-colored realistic-looking phony penis strapped to his genitals.”

The woman also told police she recognized the man who, according a police report, had masturbated in front of the woman and her daughter near the Green Lake Community Center three days earlier.

Officers arrived and contacted the man, who produced a dildo from his pants told police that he only had it “to make it look like he did have a large real penis through his tight fitting pants.”

Police arrested the man and confiscated his dildo. The report says the man has a prior conviction for indecent exposure.

Bill would rename D.C. streetWashington Business Journal - by Jonathan O'Connell Staff Reporter

View Larger
U2 famously sang about a place where the streets have no names.

The Irish rockers apparently don’t know how it works in D.C.

A bill before the D.C. Council would rename a portion of South Capitol Street SE as “Taxation Without Representation Street.” And you thought it was hard finding your way around when it was South Capitol. Try sticking “Taxation Without Representation Street” into Google Maps or your GPS.

It’s unclear what portion would be renamed. Our guess: The stretch near Nationals Park, ensuring plenty of out-of-towners are introduced to D.C.’s fight for a vote in Congress.

The defacto D.C. slogan is already on the city’s license plates. The city approved adding the slogan to the official city flag, though no new design has been introduced or approved. Officials tried — and failed, thanks to the feds — to have it imprinted on the District’s quarter.

Council members Kwame Brown, Carol Schwartz, Harry “Tommy” Thomas and Tommy Wells sponsored the bill, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole.

Seattle Police have arrested a man who allegedly robbed Capitol Hill's favorite dildo emporium, Babeland, last Thursday night.

Yesterday, police arrested Charmarke Abdi-Issa, 28, for investigation of robbery. Police believe Abdi-Issa has robbed seven small businesses and one cab driver since October 28th.

According to Babeland staff, Abdi-Issa came in to their store around 9pm on November 13th and told an employee he was looking for a Fleshlight. When an employee opened the cash register to ring him up, Abdi-Issa allegedly pulled a gun and told the staff member to go to the back of the store.

Babeland's Assistant Manager, Status Causey, says Abdi-Issa left with about $175 and the Fleshlight.

Ohio 'underwear researcher' admits molesting kids
Thursday, December 11, 2008 4:57 PM

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI -- An Ohio man has pleaded guilty to charges he fooled parents into letting him be alone with their children so he could sexually touch them while pretending to be an underwear market researcher.

Forty-four-year-old Ben Hawkins, of Springfield Township in suburban Cincinnati, could receive a maximum of 44 years in prison at his Jan. 29 sentencing.

Hamilton County prosecutors say Hawkins looked for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 16. They say he arranged to meet parents and children at schools, hospitals or at their homes and told parents he needed to measure underwear for research.

Hawkins pleaded guilty yesterday to nine charges of importuning and three counts of gross sexual imposition.

Woman Injured In Sex Toy Mishap

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. (WUSA) - A Southern Maryland woman was seriously injured in a mishap involving a sex toy over the weekend. The case was first reported on TheBayNet.com, and Saint Mary's county public safety sources confirmed the information to 9NEWS NOW.

The accident was reported to local fire and rescue personnel about 1:30 a.m. on March 7, from an address on Rogers Drive. The man who made the 911 call said he had placed a sex toy over a saber saw blade, and then used the power tool on his partner, but the blade cut through the plastic and injured the woman.

The victim, a 27-year-old woman, was reportedly injured and bleeding. She was later flown to Prince George's hospital center by Maryland State Police helicopter.

On Wednesday, Saint Mary's County Sheriffs released an update on their investigation. Detectives conducted an investigation which determined the injury was a result of a consensual act between two parties and no crime was committed.

Unhinged obituary (written by a relative no doubt) of a notorious local slumlord

https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/madison/name/ray-peterson-obituary?id=34030193

MADISON - Ray Peterson, a World War II Navy Veteran (the Navy meant a lot to him) and graduate of the University of Wisconsin, ambitiously driven business owner who was still working running his rental business, 96 year old father of five children, six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, faithful husband of Joy Curtis Peterson for 64 years, born December 16, 1924 to Alice and Russell Peterson, died December 15, 2021, a day before his birthday from cardiac arrest, four months after Pfizer mRNA vaccine acquired at routine appointment where Dr. said she would even give it to a 2 year old. He had been hospitalized for injury and suspected heart attack after being found on his floor at home December 6, 2021.

Ray was preceded by his wife, Joy in death and is survived by their children: Debbie (Hoppy), Dawn (Larry), Danette (John), Mark and David; grandchildren: Michele (Jorge), Kristin (Kevin), Amanda, Kenneth (Queenie), Hoppy Jr. and Shaun; great-grandchildren: Jaylin, Braeden, Bryce, Samantha, Kingsley, Makenzie, Makaila and Makyle. Ray's parents; brother, Ralph and sister, Barbara preceded him in death. His nieces and nephews are now numbering more than 50 and are increasing exponentially.

Ray's grandma, Ida Peterson guided him to purchase his first house at age 17, before he went to war serving in the United States Navy and subsequently graduated from University of Wisconsin that he and Joy married a month after. They had met at young adult dances and Ray taught ballroom at Arthur Murray Dance Studio. He and his dad built a ski jump in Michigan. Joy was once supposed to see Ray in a ski jump competition but he hurt his arm or shoulder in the practice run so he didn't compete. When Joy went to visit him in the hospital, she said she fell in love with his strong arms. He taught himself to play guitar and enjoyed playing it and singing Johnny Cash songs especially, he also loved diving off diving boards.

Ray's professional failing Madison marginal rental housing service directed toward the Madison homelessness, with Joy's stressful office management of her husband's business that when she retired their daughter, Danette, assumed and with him gone she was left to manage.

The acceptance of Ray's body was refused by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Medical School, Anatomy Department, being his and Joy's final wishes giving to those they believed to be most in need, due to him dying with Covid he tested positive for upon hospital admittance without symptoms being their reason for not treating it, except to place in Covid ward not allowing any visitors and only began adding Covid treatment after being hospitalized for a week, though they stated as early as day after hospitalized he is confused and doesn't know where he is that's common with Covid. His breathing began requiring oxygen initiated December 12, followed by finally treating the Covid December 13 with steroids, besides Remdesivir that wasn't successful but instead detrimental, nor was our request pleading with them to try monoclonal antibodies or Ivermectin under Right To Try Act, as the Covid exacerbated after not startng treatment when diagnosed. When he was desperately ill December 14, he was still able to respond he wants any measures taken to keep him alive, sadly as he would have said his treatment was discombobulated. His hospitalist Dr. said of Covid vaccinated patients he treats who've had resulting heart problems, average occurrence of hospitalization is 4-5 months after Covid vaccine. Thankfully, the compassionate UW body donor coordinator picked up Ray's ashes, looked up the private area on campus of land restoration where Joy's ashes were placed he remembered handling and placed Ray's with hers.

His memorial service will be Saturday, July 23, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. at VFW Day Post 7591, 301 Cottage Grove Rd., Madison, WI 53716, followed by gathering for fellowship and food.

we all know this iconic photo, right??

https://i.imgur.com/gJvNLZi.png

https://ultimateclassicrock.com/van-halen-burger-photo/

The iconic photo of Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth standing under the McDonald’s arches on a winter day has been installed in the place where it was taken.

Fans have become familiar with Richard Upper’s picture since it was shot during the two Van Halen members’ promotional tour of 1978. Upper had been sent to join them in a limousine as they capitalized on interest in the band’s debut album, released that year.

At the opening of a brand-new restaurant in the same location, Upper recalled the story, telling West Newsmagazine: “We were driving from KSHE down Watson and we saw the McDonald’s sign. We’re already hungry, and they said, ‘Let’s go, guys.’ So we did.”

He continued: “We got our meals and we were walking back to the limousine. I looked up at the sign and said, ‘Eddie, we can’t leave without taking a shot of this with you guys.’ So he’s rifling through his bag trying to eat ‘cause he’s really hungry, and he and David get perfectly right in the middle, under the sign, and I take a bunch of pictures. This was the best one.”

The current owner of the Crestwood franchise – national restaurant No. 71 – confirmed it was the first McDonald’s in St. Louis, in Missouri and possibly on Route 66 when it opened in August 1958. Nolan Ruiz explained that the original building had been replaced soon after Van Halen and Roth had visited. That building was recently knocked down to make way for a state-of-the-art establishment, with the famous picture on display.

He added that there was another point of local interest: “It’s how I met my wife and became the proud parent of four children.”

i like how the article hints that it was the famous picture of van halen that directly led to the current owner of that mcdonalds franchise meeting his wife. their four children have that iconic photo to thank, along with the support of mcdonalds nation
