It was originally "In order to shake label of ‘Fat City USA,’ Houston organizes a bike ride with free beer and tacos," until this one came along.  I also considered "North Carolina considering banning ‘Solitaire’ on state-owned machines" just because I live in NC and I’m beginning to wonder about our elected officials and our state employees.

A few goodies from Fark today.  Couldn’t pick a favorite so here’s all of ’em:

• Hot cat tossed from tin roof
• It’s not easy to pick out the priest at a nudist beach. But generally, he’s the one holding a bible
• Feces from fowl farm forms foul feelings for fellow folk

I’m a devoted fan of Fark.com, much to the chagrine of people like my mom.  Honestly my favorite part of the site is the headlines they come up with, so I’ve decided to add a new category to this site called "Fark Headline." 

This is my way of paying homage to the sophomoric view of life, which I suspect many 38 year old men share.  Here’s my favorite headline today:

Embattled polygamous police chief says religion
doesn’t rule his job, but admits in domestic disturbance calls, often
finds himself asking, "Would the four of you quiet down?"
