You may have noticed a new face to the blog. It's more of an evolution that is still on going and it applies to the content of the blog also. There will be some differences, mostlky in how the information is presented. As you know, the world is completely FUBAR and only getting worse. I will be sharing some stories from teh FUBAR that I think are interesting as well as providing commentary. Any information that I bring to you is in normal type color. My commentaries are always in this color. Lets get started.

Relentless waiter surprises deadbeats

BY STAN FINGER

The Wichita Eagle

Bobby Aru took a wild ride with some of his Peking Palace customers because he didn't want to have to pay their $40 restaurant tab.

The four customers left Peking Palace without paying for their meal.

Waiter Bobby Aru noticed; he would be stuck paying their $40 dinner tab Monday night at his mother's restaurant, 1261 S. Rock Road.

He ran into the parking lot and hollered at the three men and one woman to stop. When they got into a red pickup, he impulsively jumped into the bed of the truck as they drove away.

"They were driving very fast," Aru said. "I didn't care."

He said he yelled at them again to stop, but it didn't matter. The driver swerved and made sharp turns in an effort to "shake me loose."

But Aru hung on.

"It looked like a kung fu movie," he said.

As they drove on and on, Aru said, he began to get "really scared."

What if they stopped and beat him up? What if they had knives or a gun?

Then Aru remembered he had a cell phone. He pulled it out of his pocket and called 911. But he had no idea where they were, so he wasn't sure what to tell the dispatcher.

When the people in the pickup realized he had called for the police, they pulled over, he said.

They offered him $10 to get out of the truck, he said.

"It's not enough," he said he told them.

Aru said he talked them into driving him back to the restaurant to pay their bill.

Police, responding to the 911 call, were waiting for them when they returned to the restaurant on Rock Road. Aru agreed to give the four people time to get the money they needed for the bill.

"They said, 'Thank you,' " Aru said. "I told them, 'Don't say 'thank you' -- you guys almost killed me.' "

Police told Aru to call in a report if the four did not return in two hours. One of the customers gave Aru his driver's license as a good-faith gesture -- but they never returned to the Peking Palace.

No arrests had been made as of Tuesday afternoon.

Reflecting on what he did, Aru considers himself fortunate.

"The bill was only $40," Aru said.

"But I work hard here every day. I take my job seriously."

Lol, thhis story is a hoot. Don't be messin' with Bobby Aru! If your gonna walk out on a bill, try the China Express. The Peking Palace is too much trouble. He should've gave them their just do Jackie Chan style. That would have been great. Still the Steve McQueen jumping on the vehicle thing is very cool. Kudo's to common folk that refuse to be bullied and cheated!

Today in politics.... more FUBAR (did you expect anything different?)

As the saying goes, "good fences make good neigbors"

Today, President Bush signs off on a bill aproving a 700 mile fence along the Mexican Border. That's an abosolutely fantastic idea! Except... wait... hmm...carry the 1... Theres almost 2000 miles of border! That still leaves 1300 miles, give or take, of an open door. Now folks, that's what I mean by FUBAR! I've said this before and I'll say it again. All this will do is force the illegals to build taller ladders or digg longer and deeper tunnels. But hey... it's a nice fence though.

Weirdo's & Strange News Report:

Kickboxer gives birth after fight

c/o Ananova.com

A 17-year-old kickboxer who didn't know she was pregnant gave birth to a baby daughter after a competition.

Dutch junior fighter Pamela Vugts was rushed to hospital when she started bleeding the day after a kickbox gala in Den Bosch.

Doctors told her she was seven months pregnant and later that day she gave birth to a healthy baby girl by Caesarian, reports the Destentor website.

Neither Pamela nor her parents knew she was pregnant, although the scales showed she was more than 17lbs overweight before her fight.

"She has always been a bit heavy," said her father, Cor. "And because she was having her monthly periods we thought she had just put on weight."

Lol..."she's always been a bit heavy." That cracks me up.
