"JANUARY 31--A Florida Man is behind bars after allegedly battering a female victim with hot ramen noodles, according to police.
Responding Friday morning to a domestic disturbance call at a Fort Pierce residence, sheriff’s deputies spoke to a woman who said she was struck with noodles thrown by Brandon Smith, 21, following a dispute over allowing Smith's dog on the bed."
Needed something funny tonight, and it didn't take long. Found this article on The Smoking Gun via Drudge. I laughed out loud, then thought perhaps there is something more serious underlying the headline.
Yes, I'm sure you guessed it. We, the American People, need common sense ramen reform. When people no longer act responsibly with ramen and choose to burn others instead of their own tongues with the boiling hot noodles, laws must be added to the books. We need to have ramen locked up and safe from immature people, and background checks to make sure that the purchaser has no propensity for launching ramen attacks. It should be easier to sue ramen manufacturers, and the makers of chicken flavored monosodium glutamate packets. The ramen is obviously the problem. If we had more and better ramen laws, people wouldn't use them offensively in major disputes like dogs on beds. We must protect children from ramen at all cost. Larger containers of ramen should be labeled as "assault ramen" and removed from the marketplace. After all, what kind of lunatic needs oversized containers of ramen? It can only be used for nefarious purposes. At the very least we should have registration and databases for those making large ramen purchases.
Wake up, America. The new threat to your safety and security is ramen.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
