Goat Man Frolicking Through the Utah Wilderness Identified As a Hunter
Weird News Wednesday via Time:
At first, officials were baffled– and worried. They were concerned goat man could be in danger once hunting season starts.
But after the story made headlines out of its sheer oddity, state wildlife officials say they’ve identified the man in the bizarre suit. He’s a 57-year-old hunter from Southern California, according to Phil Douglass, conservation outreach manager for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, told Utah newspaper The Standard-Examiner on Monday. Douglass fielded a phone call from the man but didn’t ask his name. “He gave me details that convinced me it was him,” Douglass said.
Flagrant Bagel, my partner-in-crime, comments, “He’s apparently the most meticulous hunter ever. But I think its a crazy sex thing.”

San Francisco Chronicle: Man with ‘world’s biggest penis’ stopped at SFO security
Jonah Falcon, 41, who has been featured in several documentaries about the world’s biggest penises, was returning from a trip in San Francisco on July 9 when he was stopped at security by TSA agents who spotted something out of the ordinary hanging to the left in his pants, he said…
“It was probably harder on them than it was on me,” Falcon said.
WTF Wednesday — Woodchucks Steal Flags from Cemetery

N.Y. authorities say woodchucks have been stealing flags from cemetery
Around 75 flags were reported missing from Civil War graves in the days leading up to and following Independence Day.
Hallenbeck said he was glad the culprit wasn’t a human resident. He said some flags are now coated with a substance that attracts woodchucks.
Woodchuck Mating Spray! $10 + S&H. Spray it on your neighbors flags for revenge! Woodchuck love is in the air.
Bee tee dubs, woodchucks are the same thing as groundhogs. I have an old post explaining the difference between gophers and groundhogs. Also, according to Wikipedia, gophers are also known as “whistle-pigs” and “land-beavers.”

WTF Wednesday – Miami Face-Eater Not on Bath Salts
Weird New Wednesday
Tests in cannibalism case: Zombie-like attacker used pot, not ‘bath salts’
CNN:
Rudy Eugene, 31, was killed by a police officer after Eugene’s 18-minute attack on a homeless man. His body didn’t show “any other street drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs, or any adulterants found in street drugs,” according to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department.
“The department has also sought the assistance of an outside forensic toxicology reference laboratory, which has confirmed the absence of ‘bath salts,’ synthetic marijuana and LSD,” the statement said.
The media talked about bath salts with such authority I thought there was evidence or something. Mainstream media fail.
Oh god, Time Magazine is now calling him the “Cannabis Cannibal.” I’m guessing schizophrenia on this one, maybe made worse by the pot. One of the really rare cases that make you violent.
What’s more bizarre to me is, how did the homeless guy let someone gnaw on his face for so long? They released pictures of the victim and the damage is pretty intense. Even if you’re really, drunk adrenaline should kick in and make your life-or-death mechanism kick in.
WTF Wednesday – Naked Model Arrested Sues NYPD
Weird News Wednesday
I posted last August, “Naked in New York City,” about the model in Time’s Square that was arrested during a completely legal, nude but bodypainted photoshoot. Her name is Zoe West and today…
Nude Artist’s Model Zoe West Files Suit Against New York City For Violating Civil Rights (VIDEO)
Meh, I think it’s a frivolous suit for attention. The cops should be disciplined for being negligent about artist laws, but she was only in custody for a couple hours and released with no charges. This reminds me of the time that Mitt Romney threatened to sue for “false arrest” when he was taken in for presumably being a dick when confronted about expired boat tags.

Meanwhile, have you guys been following the drama over The Oatmeal vs. FunnyJunk? Start here, if you’re not familiar with the $20K that FJ wants for slander or something like that (The Oatmeal bitched abut FJ stealing his comics) and then work your back back to this headline:
Background: the previous entries in our coverage of Charles Carreon’s bizarre and contemptible behavior on behalf of his client, FunnyJunk, against The Oatmeal can be found here at Part I, Part II, and Part III….
[FunnyJunk’s lawyer] transcended typical internet infamy when he filed a federal lawsuit last Friday in the United Sates District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland. He belonged to the ages the moment he filed that lawsuit not only against Matthew Inman, proprietor of The Oatmeal, but also against IndieGoGo Inc., the company that hosted Inman’s ridiculously effective fundraiser for the National Wildlife Federation and the American Cancer Society.
But that level of censorious litigiousness was not enough for Charles Carreon. He sought something more. And so, on that same Friday, Charles Carreon also sued the National Wildlife Federation and the American Cancer Society, the beneficiaries of Matthew Inman’s fundraiser.
FunnyJunk is now trying to spin something that sounds like Charles Carreon isn’t their lawyer? Whatever. FunnyJunk is made of lies and Charles Carreon is made of crazy. Who sues the American Cancer Society?
In all jurisdictions, if the case truly lacks legal merit, the judge can fine, censure, or even disbar the attorney who brings the case. California needs to fine and censure this guy. Seriously.

WTF Wednesday – Kitten Taken to a Strip Club
Not THE kitten. But who doesn’t like the Catbook Pro?
Man Barred from Taking Kitten to Florida Strip Club
The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office reported Everett Lages refused to leave the premises when the owner of Emerald City strip club said he wouldn’t be allowed in with the cat.
Rather than leave, Lages called 911. When deputies arrived, they called a taxi for the intoxicated kitten owner to get him and the pet back home, police wrote in a news release posted on Facebook.
The guy was subsequently arrested when he refused to pay the cabbie, and the kitten was taken by animal control. Mugshot in the link.
