A Fast Food Pooper, An Angry Golfer's Wife, And a Creative Art Thief

Behind Every Great Man is...A Woman Who Violently Attacks Him When He Fails
If you think you’re trapped in a bad marriage, you probably have nothing on PGA golfer Lucas Glover. His wife was arrested on Saturday after violently attacking him because he played a bad round at The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.  36 year-old Krista Glover is accused of attacking Lucas and his mother in front of the couple’s two young children.  When police officers arrived at the home the couple had rented for the tournament, Lucas told them that “when he plays a bad round of golf, Krista proceeds to start an altercation with him and telling him how he is a loser and a p—y.”  As if that wasn’t enough, she added that “he’d better win or her and the kids would leave him and he would never see the kids again.”

Lucas, who seems to either be a saint or a victim of Stockholm Syndrome, pleaded with officers not to arrest his wife, but they had to since he and his mother had visible cuts from Krista’s attack.

When officers tried to put her in their squad car, the police report indicates that she became physically aggressive and tried to escape, wrapping her legs around the door and frame.  They eventually got her in, but then she started screaming at them.

“Wait till the [PGA] tour hears about this,” she said, according to the report. “You will lose your job. This is why cops get shot in the face. Wait till I talk with the judge, you will be f***ing fired over this.”

Here’s hoping poor Lucas is using some of his tour winnings to pay for a good divorce lawyer.

Yuck, Just Yuck
Story Number 2 is about, well Number 2.  A woman at a Tim Horton’s restaurant in Canada wasn’t allowed to use a restroom because she didn’t buy anything, so she did what any rational person would do: Pooped in front of the counter and then picked up her poop and threw it at a cashier.  Video posted by LiveLeak shows the woman getting heated in an argument with restaurant staff, who refused to bend their “customer’s only” restroom policy for her. Well, they underestimated how badly she had to go, and the video then shows her lean against a wall, do her business, and then throw it across the counter.  Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested her a short time later.

A Whopper of an Arrest
How much do you like Burger King’s Whopper? Probably not as much as Manuel Silviero.  He was so angry that he couldn’t get one because the Burger King he went to in Plainfield, Illinois was closed that he got naked and then hit a police officer a couple of times.  According to police, he tried to get a late night meal at about 2 a.m. Sunday morning.  Unfortunately, the restaurant closed at midnight.  So Manuel started banging on the drive-thru window and screaming at employees inside.  Not surprisingly, he was quite drunk.  Very surprisingly, when police arrived, Manuel stripped naked and tried to run away from them.  He then hit an officer who was trying to help him put his clothes back on.  That officer put him in handcuffs and had him sit on the curb to cool off. After a while, the officer determined that Manuel had cooled off enough and took off the cuffs.  Bad move.  Manuel hit him again in the face and chest.  He’s now charged with aggravated battery and a number of other crimes, meaning he won’t get a Whopper, but he’ll get the slammer.

Tall Tales That Trigger
At a panel discussion at Portland State University, a group of social justice warrior students got up and left because they were upset that a speaker dared to say that women are...generally shorter than men. Biology professor Heather Heying was discussing the biological differences between men and women and asked rhetorically “Are men taller than women on average?  Does anyone take offense at that fact?” Yes, yes they did.  The crowd started grumbling.  Heying said: “So I would say you could be irritated by it. You could be irritated by the fact that women have to be the ones that gestate and lactate. You could be irritated by a lot of truths but taking offense is a response that is a rejection of reality.”

At that, a group of students who couldn’t handle women being shorter than men and having to lactate got up and left.  Video cameras of the speech caught them outside the venue ranting.  One said “You should not listen to fascism. It should not be tolerated in civil society. Nazis are not welcome in civil society.”  Another, a girl with purple hair said, “Even the women in there have been brainwashed.” She then yelled “F*** the police,” presumably because policemen are generally taller than policewomen.

No Whites Allowed
Students at Evergreen State College, which might be the single most liberal place on earth, is back at it. Last year, it made news with its “Day of Absence,” in which white people were asked not to come on campus so that there could be a safe space for people of color.  Well this year, that “Day of Absence” has expanded to three days.  It includes a mix of events on and off campus and will actually allow white people at some events.  Not all, but some.  Since even Evergreen State officials realized how bad segregation on campus looks, they won’t allow “No Whites Allowed” events, so the “No Whites” get-togethers will all be held off campus.  Posters advertising the event ask people of color to RSVP at a website that spells out “No Nazis Allowed” in its URL.  That’s right, to this group all white people are apparently Nazis.

One Way to Fix a Tattoo Mistake
A woman in Sweden says she couldn’t afford to get a bad tattoo removed, so she changed her kid’s name instead.  She had the names of her two young children, Nova and Kevin, tattooed on her arm. Unfortunately, the tattoo artist misspelled Kevin’s name, adding an extra L so that it spelled “Kelvin.” The woman was upset, but after a while, decided that instead of changing her tattoo, she would change Kevin’s name to Kelvin.  And now 2 year-old Kevin is Kelvin to match mom’s tattoo.

Thomas Crown She Ain't
The ex-wife of billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Gross stole a $35 million Picasso painting from their bedroom in the months leading up to their separation, but Bill didn’t realize it for a long time.  Why not? Because she replaced it with a copy that she herself had painted a few years before.  The 1932 painting is called “Le Repos” and is described as an “intimate portrait of Picasso’s lover and muse, Marie-Thérèse Walter.  And it’s obviously so expertly painted that an amateur can make a copy so good that her soon-to-be-ex-husband didn’t know the difference.  In happier days for the couple in 2015, Bill said in an investor letter that his wife was a very talented artist.  

"[Sue] likes to paint replicas of some of the famous pieces, using an overhead projector to copy the outlines and then just sort of fill in the spaces," he wrote."'Why spend $20 million?' she’d say. 'I can paint that one for $75.'”

How right she was.
