"I am thankful for what you are doing, what you have done, and you are a direct answer to my prayers,” said Tinsley.

The biggest gift for this couple, may just be another day surrounded by people who care.

"I love Jesus, and I know that He brings people into our path that we are supposed to encounter,” Myers said.

Good old God. What a nice guy to give them all that.

Oh no, wait. God gave him leukemia. What an rear end in a top hat.

I'm more worried by the article mentioning that there have been several other clown sightings in the area, including a clown attempting to lure children into the woods with candy and a clown with a machete trying to lure a woman into the woods.

A Florida Walmart wants you to 'Never Forget' a great deal on Coke products



quote:


On Tuesday a photo showing arguably one of the worst 9/11 tributes in 15 years emerged on Twitter, and we're hoping it's not real.

The photo, which was posted to Twitter by user online_shawn, alleges that a Florida Walmart has a Coke display showing Ground Zero made up entirely out of Coke Zero.

...

UPDATE:

Charles Crowson, a spokesman for Walmart, told Orlando Weekly that the 9/11 display, which was located inside a Panama City Walmart, is currently being taken down.

Crowson also let us know that Coke typically approaches Walmart with display ideas, and they either approve or deny it. In this case, Walmart approved the 9/11 display.

From an Australian perspective where we're not quite so sensitive on the topic of 9/11, that display is honestly really creative and good looking but I can see why they had to take it down.

It's well done. In fact, if it was done by an artist or something, it would be a pretty amusing parody of the interplay of petty nationalism and capitalism. Except it was real.

I like this one. It feels like whoever came up with it just wanted to do a retarded joke commercial, rather than the faux-lovely patriotism of the Wal Mart one.

New parasite species is named after Obama

quote:

US scientists have discovered a new species of a parasitic flatworm that infects turtles in Malaysia, and named it after Barack Obama as a way of honoring the US president.

The flatworm, coined Baracktrema obamai, is so unusual that it merits not only a new species designation, but its own genus, too.

[Turtle parasite expert Thomas Platt] said he was inspired to name the creature after Obama, in part because the worms "face incredible obstacles to complete their journey and must contend with the immune system of the host in order to mature and reproduce."

He was also influenced by doing genealogy research that traced his family and the US president's family back to a common ancestor.


Time for another stuff related to Malaysia: Donald Trump's allegedly amazing health has got nothing on this man

quote:

The Pahang state legislative assembly was today taken by surprise when Menteri Besar [state governor] Adnan Yaakob suddenly took off his shoes and lifted his left leg to his face.

Adnan then proceeded to place a pen between his toes while his leg was raised and demanded whether members in the house could do the same, according to a report by Sin Chew Daily.

"Can you do this 'pen between the toes' action?" he reportedly demanded from across the floor.

The menteri besar pulled off the bizarre stunt to make a point that he was in perfect health.

I grew up there. If your idea of horror is endless strip malls, sure. Maybe it's not a clown, it's my mom's ghost.

EDIT: If this were about 20 years ago I can almost hear my mom asking my brother which of his dumbass friends is doing this.

Maybe you grew up in Clemmons? Winston had strip malls, but they're hardly endless.

FWIW I think the clown thing is a hoax of some sort, either viral marketing in very poor taste, or some sort of prank targeting primarily low-income minority neighborhoods. It's happened in a couple other places in NC and SC at least, and it always seems to be in poor posts of town.

It's pretty lovely, whatever it is.
