Man Who Threw Hot Dog At Tiger Woods Was “Inspired By The Movie Drive”
| October 13, 2011
The man who attempted (and failed) to throw a hot dog at Tiger Woods at the Frys.com Open last weekend has been identified. He is Brandon Kelly, a 31-year-old from Petaluma, Calif., and he is really into the movie Drive.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat caught up with Kelly after he was named in the police report, and he admitted that it was he who wasted the perfectly good hot dog, and then he gave a perfectly rational insane explanation for the assault:
The idea, he said, was formed after he watched a movie about a stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver.
“I threw the hot dog toward Tiger Woods because I was inspired by the movie ‘Drive,’” Kelly said. “As soon as the movie ended, I thought to myself, ‘I have to do something courageous and epic. I have to throw a hot dog on the green in front of Tiger.’”
Georgia Woman Wins $25 Million Lottery Due To Clerk’s Mistake
| October 12, 2011
It takes an incredible amount of lock to win a lottery jackpot, and still greater fortune to win on a ticket you didn’t even intend to purchase. A Georgia woman who was looking for a job won out on both fronts when she won on a ticket a clerk gave her by accident.
According to the AP, the woman asked for a Mega Millions ticket, but the clerk accidentally printed up a Powerball entry with the same numbers, along with the ticket she requested. The woman was in the mood to double down so she didn’t try to return the Powerball ticket and ask for a refund. That’s why she won the $25 million prize, which she chose to cash out with the $15.1 million pre-tax lump sum option.
The story says the winner wants to travel, buy a car and help others. Hopefully she adds “give error-prone clerk humongous tip” to that list.

During the Madrid Masters, Scottish golfer Elliot Saltman managed to get a hole-in-one on the third hole at the El Encin Golf Hotel. For his accomplishment, he recieved much praise and many golf claps. Also, his body weight in ham. Each hole had its own prize for a hole-in-one, some of which included a car or a watch. Saltman had the great (mis)fortune of landing it on the third and winning ham.
Saltman weighs in an at a respectable 235 pounds according to the European Tour media guide.
Please Lord, Save Us from the FarmVille Movie
| October 12, 2011
Oh, the horror. Just think of the possibilities of taking a date or your family to Farmville: The Movie. I guess you sit there and watch the crops grow in 3-D, or maybe they will add in Smell-A-Vision to give that true farm experience. It’s no joke. Zynga is in negotiations for the production of a movie based on the Farmville game. Heaven help us
What does a FarmVille movie look like anyway? No doubt it’ll be a computer-animated feature (in 3D, of course!) incorporating the graphics and themes of the Facebook game.
