Time to once again celebrate the hangy-downy state, the land of the Gators, the spawning ground of the wild hamousians.
First up, we have Mr. Jeffrey Eugene Alan “Hard as Life” Southwell, 38, of Gainesville. Our protagonist has been arrested for attempted murder of his girlfriend. That is not the noteworthy part. It seems that Mr. Southwell is somewhat of a tattoo enthusiast. See the picture at the link for where his “mob name” came from.
On a more positive note, we have an unnamed motorist who was intended to be the victim of a carjacking. Until (s)he decided that today was not the day to be a victim. Today was the day to make an inept carjacker a victim. I say well done!
Finally, we have Mr. Steve Drappel of West Palm Beach who is trying to be just like President Passion Fingers. Mr. Drappel observed PF’s behavior over the past few years and thought to himself, “I can do that!” What’s even better is, Mr. Drappel is a professional with access to the proper equipment, which he took advantage of.
Honorable mention goes to the Florida of Southeast Asia, the Philippines. The city of Marikina, just east of Manila, went for a world record for number of “little Floridas” given a trim in a local sports stadium.
Finally, the city of Victoria, B.C. needs to try a little harder. Their new tourist attraction doesn’t quite make it.

SC, saying a prayer for your employment hunting to be fruitful soon. To have the rug pulled out from under you after such a long tenure has to be bruising in so many ways. One might hope this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

You are soooo bad!
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
On Reed Road, on the north side of Sims Bayou, south of Bellfort, east of Mykawa, west of Telephone Road. Close to Hobby Airport.
Maybe it’s an old lady?
What parish?
Unless she has a big — a big — well, a big Obama. Do they make jeans that big?
You know those dang engineer types. Word shoulda been “Boop” I guess.

I just found out that while one of our deacons and one of our priests (we have several here, as our parish has a formation house on campus) will be dunked with me on Sunday. Our pastor, however, is hightailing it out of town that weekend. As one person commented, “How convenient”. 😉 Our priests are leaving our parish, though,… Read more »
Engineers invented the word Boob:
B – top view
OO – front view
b – side view
No shuttle, no disaster relief, no educational funding (til Republicans changed the bill), and for his next act, he’s about to put a lizard on the endangered species act that will virtually shut down West Texas oil and gas production. That is when we will secede. Noooooo……that’s when we’ll have a lizard hunt. They make reel purty watch bands :-))))… Read more »

I don’t know for sure. We did share our real names at the LST Memorial Picnic, but I can’t remember giving him my last name.
We really do need to get together again. That was a really, really nice day.
Too funny! The comments are better than the story!
Tim, Darren — let’s shoot for 300 tonight!
TT, how did Bob find you on FB to ask you to friend him? I checked, and you are not findable on FB as Tedtam. I know that many of you met him in person at a Blog Wrangle at a park west of town last year — are real names used in that situation?
Oh, man, more comments from BG. Those guys were crackin’ nuts today: Once again your moronic vision impairs your thoughts. You’ve got to be the most delusioned clown living on the the demoplantation yet.You honestly believe you could survive without America’s conservative population? Obviously you either have not stepped out into life to earn a real living or you are… Read more »
Just came across a comment at BigGov:
Dang, that reminds me of someone….who could it be????
Okay, I missed something. Where’d the “passion fingers” reference come from?
According to President Passion Fingers, you’re safest in one of the border cities.
Well, here it is, about 9:30, and I’m checking in after a busy day of running errands. Cockroaches, homemade pyrotechnics, verbal pyrotechnics, guns, signs, missing idiots, lost job, hopeful jobs, breaking a blog barrier (kinda). Dang, y’all been busy today! I’m just gonna hang out here in the corner and get some more work done. It’s safer over here. Out… Read more »
Statistically speaking, are you safer serving in the military in Baghdad or living in the city limits of Houston, Texas?
But I disagree with with shoving politicians into the group that includes law enforcement and DAs and judges.
Sorry Sen. Patrick and Sen. Hagar, you’re just another Joe Six Pack who happens to be serving in the Lege.
Youse gotta take ya chances with the rest of us.
A great debate. The terd throwing has been kept to a minimum. This is hardly the first time there has been a collision of rights. At this point In the debate I am considering the fact that following the first amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech and freedom from a state sponsored religion, the brilliant framers of the Bill of Rights… Read more »

We celebrate diversity here on Hamous’ private property.
#199 Pyro: that pic reminds me of the blacklight poster with the 2 vultures resting on an old dead tree branch, the caption was “patience my azz, I’m gonna kill something”.
Memories of blacklight posters, where has the world gone to??
And I promise I won’t perform my magic trick this time.
#170 Mharper: Bones, were you hunting cockroaches with a dartgun indoors or outside? Jest wonderin’… usually it was outside, sometimes I would bait the target area with an old pizza box. This is not meant to imply that if one of those nasty bastiges got in the apt he would not be pinned to the wall for a while. I… Read more »

Look at your post number.
I haven’t caught Doc Savage in a long time due to my schedule and when he is on. I get the flying spittle, but not the vulture reference. Explanation?
And the vultures wait….
Beware of flying spittle.

Not a bad place to be…
Bashir took issue against Tancredo for suggesting that he (Bashir) would have condemned Bush of assassination against bin Laden and then asks Tancredo if he (Tancredo) would prefer the killing of President Obama over bin Laden. And this apparently was Bashir’s prepared question for Tancredo.

#165 mharper thanks I am lucky enough to have some choices. Two already and maybe more. I actually feel pretty good about this as the shock wears off. My better half is the prayer. Everyone I know in the industry says this will be better on the other side. After all this time and being trated so well for so… Read more »

Let’s approach this from a different angle. Not the 2nd Amendment but the 1st Amendment. The one that comes before the 2nd. You have a right to march into your employer’s office first thing in the morning and tell him what a lowdown, scum-sucking, monkey-diddling, POS he really is (or what a lying, unconstant succubus she really is). The 1st… Read more »
OK gang, back to reality for a minute. The debt ceiling issue continues to make news as Speaker Bonner seems to grow a pair and talk tough about some budget cuts before any increases to the debt ceiling are passed. Here’s the problem as I see it – Regardless of what the demands the Speaker may put forth are, the… Read more »
Ahhhhh. Ice and water. Two of God’s greatest inventions.
I need some ice water.
Hamous’ website can only pass 200 for the second time (that I know of) once.
Are we at 200 yet?
