Kinda like Valentine's Day but without all of the emotional baggage and reminder about increasing American loneliness.

And so we ask . . .
ARE YOU GOING TO CELEBRATE 816 DAY?!?
We welcome ideas and here are a few LOCAL BAD NEWS ITEMS that don't fit anywhere else but are still worth a look. Checkit:

Don't you know the rules?
ReplyDeleteIf it's promoted by KCMO, probably a scam.
^^and yet it's not. Weird.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't Rochelle demanding her sister tell who fired the shots that killed little Brian?
ReplyDeleteShe knows who it is, she knows who she pissed off.
Here's a clue Rochelle, the clue your seeking is located right there inside your own family.
^^^The real question is why haven't YOU gone to the police if you know something?!?! Huh? Or are you just running your mouth? Probably just running your mouth like the rest of the blowhards on here.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone find it ironic when we, almost universally, laud profusely our no-kill pet shelters, while supporting pro-kill Planned Parenthood?
ReplyDeleteHeadline that gunfire is getting worse:
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. More range time is sorely needed to improve it. Hit whom you're shooting at, not an innocent child!
I'm dyslexic. I already celebrated 618 day. In June.
ReplyDeleteAnd less than a month to go before the 913-Fest!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing to celebrate about 816 is that we live in 913.
ReplyDelete^^and yet here you are on a blog about the 816. Weird.
ReplyDeleteStill no leads in the case of the 8-year old homicide victim?
ReplyDeleteAnd after all the photo ops, marching around, selfies, speeches, and going door-to-door leaving notices about the $25,000 rewards?
What a surprise!
The people in the house know what's going on, as do some people in the neighborhood.
Where are all the "activists" and social justice warriors when you really need them?
Having a balloon release at some suburban church.
And what passes for leadership in the black community is down at city hall trying to intimidate the electeds for another million for 18th and Vine!
Really sad.
^^ugh huh...hey look! Matlock's on!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, so nothing new from you today or any day, Chimpy. I mean even gorillas can learn new words once in a while. You know tapioca, matlock, maude, and geezer. Lol
DeleteHey look ! Younger and dumber is here!!!
ReplyDelete1:51, until you can expand your thoughts and vocabulary, go fuck yourself. Someone should beat the hell out of your old man for not pulling out in time.
ReplyDeleteIt's just another day of the year. Just like July 85th is just another day of the year in most of Northern Kansas.
ReplyDeleteThe Scooter tragedy, at first I thought they were talking about those nusiance BIRD scooters, which I thought wow, BIRDs dont usually end up in the metro that far south, but once I read the story and saw that it was a MOPED aka 49cc scooter I though of a millenial that stepped their game up from a Bird to a Vespa, I was shocked to see that a 57 year old was who was driving it. Just goes to show public transportation in KCMO suckes enough that a old dude was forced to drive home on a 49cc scooter at 12:45 AM . Thats close to the tiny house community for homeless Vets, I hope it wasnt one of those dudes. Glad the guy that hit him and killed him stopped, that usually doesnt happen in that part of the city.
