A Dock in Michigan Collapsed With a Bridal Party in It

On Saturday, the entire bridal party at a wedding in Shelbyville, Michigan was posing for photos on a dock at Gun Lake in the town of Shelbyville. (–That’s about 25 miles south of Grand Rapids.)

If you’ve seen enough videos on YouTube, you know where this is going . . . the dock collapsed, and all 12 of them ended up in the water, including the bride and groom. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Aaron Sorkinisms, the plagarising of oneself

Aaron Sorkin gets props as a writer for his smart, snappy dialogue . . . he’s the guy behind “The Social Network” and “The West Wing”. But you won’t BELIEVE how much he recycles his own stuff.

There’s a video on YouTube that combines all his go-to phrases from movies and TV, and it’s INSANE how blatantly he re-uses the same lines over and over. It’s over seven minutes long, if that gives you any idea.

DAILY DUMBASS (TACOMA EDITION)

Jesse Michener is upset with Point Defiance Elementary School in Tacoma, Washington . . . because they let two of her daughters get severely sunburned.      

The school had a field day on Tuesday.  Students spent most of the day outside, but school policy prevented the kids from getting any protection from the SUN. 

Teachers aren’t allowed to put sunscreen on students, and students aren’t allowed to put it on themselves . . . unless they have a NOTE from their DOCTOR.  Parents are supposed to put sunscreen on the kids before sending them to school. 

The thing is, one of the girls already HAD a note from the doctor.  It didn’t give her permission to use sunscreen, but it documented the fact that she had a type of albinism.

The girls ended up getting burned so badly on their faces and arms that they had to go to the hospital that night and miss school the next day.

luxury car on luxury car violence

You just hate to see luxury car-on-car violence like this.

Yesterday morning in Chicago, a man was pulling his BMW SUV into a spot on the third floor of a parking garage . . . when he accidentally hit the gas.

That sent his car FLYING through some guard wires, over a short concrete ledge, and onto the floor below.

And his BMW landed on . . . a JAGUAR and a MERCEDES.There was some damage, especially to the Jaguar, but fortunately no one was hurt. The police say the BMW driver was, quote, “shaken.”

Video of Paul McCartney Performing on a London Street Corner in 1984 . . . And No One Recognizes Him

In 1984, PAUL MCCARTNEY did a movie called “Give My Regards to Broad Street”, which was basically about a fictional day in his life.

The movie bombed . . . but it did have a cool scene where Paul performed with a guitar on a London street corner, and no one recognized him.

Apparently, the scene was LEGIT. They actually put Paul on the street, and the people he was performing to were NOT actors.

Of course, he wasn’t trying to look like, or even sound like, himself . . . his hair was ruffled, and his clothes were disheveled. He was performing “Yesterday”, but it was a different, folk version of it.

A Golfer Set a New World Record by Hitting a 300-Yard Drive . . . and Landed It in a Moving Car

The marketing department for Mercedes-Benz just set a weird record to get us all excited about the new SLS AMG Roadster . . . which is a convertible and costs about $200,000.

They got a British golfer named Jake Shepherd to drive golf balls down a runway . . . while a race car driver tried to catch them at 120 miles an hour.

They managed to do it on a drive that went 300 yards, which makes it the new Guinness World Record for farthest golf shot caught by a moving car.

Daily Dumbass! (gotta love the 20-somethings these days)

Remember when you were a little kid and you got scared, you’d run into your parents’ bedroom? Most people outgrow that. Most people.

Last week in Hopatcong, New Jersey, 28-year-old Jason Slater made three calls to 911. In each of the calls he said he was the president . . . and he wanted to talk to TIM TEBOW.

The police went to his house to find out what was going on. Turns out the 28-year-old still lives with his mother. When they searched the place, they found him . . . hiding in his mom’s closet underneath some pillows.

He was arrested for creating false public alarms.

After he was released from jail, he took the jail summons they’d given him and threw it on the ground outside . . . so he was hit with a littering charge too.
