PORTSMOUTH — A pizza delivery person bringing an order to a city residence on Saturday was met by a naked man for the fourth time, say police.

According to the city’s public police log, at 5:42 p.m. on Sept. 26, police were called to a Holiday Drive residence where the delivery person said “when they deliver pizza there the resident comes to the door naked.” Police Lt. Rodney McQuate said the delivery person has encountered the naked resident during four different pizza deliveries, but did not wish to press charges.

So it’s apparently 4 strikes are you’re out in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  After the first time I’d be wary of showing up again. And after the second time I’d definitely not be coming back again. But maybe that’s just me.

…if it’s August, it’s just about Oktoberfest over there in Germany. Isn’t this about the time they show some cute chick with those huge – watcha-call ‘ems?

They say it’s the “world’s biggest beer festival,” which I guess means they’ve never been to the Indianapolis 500.

While I’ve never been to Oktoberfest in Germany, I have been to the Indy 500 multiple times.  From Oktoberfest events here in the States I’d say that the Indy 500 (all three weeks of festivities) might be bigger, but the beer at Oktoberfest would probably be better.  There are too many folks here drinking things like Old Milwaukee & Pabst Blue Ribbon.

From corn ice cream to raw horse flesh ice cream.

DUBAI – A group celebrating a birthday at a Dubai diner were cheered by a 25 percent discount but not necessarily the reason: “Bug on food.”

The restaurant cut the bill for seven customers at a birthday dinner after they found four insects crawling around their meals, the Gulf News reported on Tuesday.

Now seriously, would you pay for that at all?

A doughnut is not worth jail time…

FARMINGTON, Mo. – Authorities said Scott A. Masters, 41, slipped (a) doughnut into his sweat shirt without paying, then pushed away a clerk who tried to stop him as he fled the store.

The push is being treated as minor assault, which transforms a misdemeanor shoplifting charge to a strong-armed robbery with a potential prison term of five to 15 years. Because he has a criminal history, prosecutors say they could seek 30 years.

Masters said he didn’t even get to enjoy his ill-gotten gains: He threw the doughnut away as he fled.

A few words of advice:

1. Don’t steal doughnuts.
2. Don’t steal doughnuts and assault someone while in the act.
3. Don’t steal doughnuts and assault someone while in the act, especially if you already have a criminal record.

And they say that the pumpkin crop isn’t good this year?

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. – An Oregon man won the annual pumpkin weigh-off here, presenting a gigantic gourd that came it at 1,524 pounds. Thad Starr, of Pleasant Hill, Ore., set a contest record with the pumpkin. He’ll get $6 a pound, bringing his winnings to $9,144.

But nine grand for a pumpkin is a bit out of my price range, especially for a deformed pumpkin that doesn’t sit upright. So maybe “they” are right after all. Luckily I’ve already picked up two decent pumpkins for $2.50 each.
