I was asked my opinion of this mess between Howard Stern and Dolly Parton. Howard, of course, took excerpts from Dolly’s audio book and edited them together in a disgraceful manner for a cheap laugh.

What will come of this, Jack?

On one hand you have Dolly…

…who wrote “Coat Of Many Colors” and buys reading books for under privileged children.

And on the other hand, you have Howard…

…who makes a huge amount of money in a parasitic fashion.

Now, at the heart of the country music world, there is a fierce and very protective group of pit bull lawyers that all play golf together. When Dolly, who is very shrewd, mentions the possibility of a lawsuit, these guys are instantly licking their collective chops and texting. These guys are going to relish the idea of hitting Howard where it hurts.

Howard Stern is one of those guys that likes to use Free Speech like it’s a loophole. He screwed up this time.

Howard Stern is your Friday morning mindless yob.

It’s a blustery day in the Ozarks. Before we get into this yob stuff, I want to say that my internet connection has been dicey over the last day (very possibly related to the tornado activity in recent days), and there are several people who have contacted me that I haven’t had a chance to get back with yet. It’s hit and miss but, I will respond.

Now without further ado, today we have this item.

A booze-fuelled Briton pretending to be Star Wars villain Darth Vader was punished Tuesday for a bizarre surprise attack on two Jedi fanatics.

Want my opinion? Sure you do. The first part of the first sentence there; “A booze-fuelled Briton pretending to be Star Wars villain Darth Vader”, that’s enough to qualify, right there. This guy doesn’t have to do anything else. Add to that, two Jedi fanatics and a bizarre surprise attack; it’s on.

Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27 — who has a chronic alcohol problem — donned a black bin bag for a cape and used a metal crutch for a lightsabre when he impersonated the Dark Lord of the Sith on March 25.

He then lept over the wall of a “Jedi Church” where Barney Jones and his cousin Michael were duelling with lightsabres while filming a documentary.

O.K. I am assuming that a “bin Bag” is what we would call a trash bag; like a Hefty bag. So, drunk guy, in a Hefty bag attacks two guys, “duelling with lightsabres while filming a documentary”. A documentary! heh heh…A documentary. A documentary about grown men duelling with lightsabres.

Hughes hollered “Darth Vader” as he swung his crutch about, whacking Barney Jones over the head with it and punching Michael Jones in the thigh.

Drunk guy, in Hefty bag, shouting “Darth Vader!” swinging a crutch.

The Jedi are guardians of peace and justice, and the force was with them at Holyhead Magistrates’ Court as district judge Andrew Shaw punished “Darth Vader” with a two-month suspended jail sentence and a 100-pound (195-dollar, 126-euro) fine.

Hughes, who has previous convictions for assault, had drunk the best part of a 10-litre box of wine and could not remember the attack, his lawyer Frances Jones told the court.

In his defense, Hefty bag Darth had drunk 10 litres of wine. You know, a guy is that far in to a rip snorting drunk and he runs into two guys filming a “documentary”; two grown men, duelling with lightsabres…well, that may be enough to set a guy off. That may be enough to get a guy to put the Hefty bag on and grab the crutch. And, in some circles, that would be considered just good clean fun. But, it’s all fun until somebody gets hurt and then, it makes the news and then…you look like a bunch of mindless yobs.

It’s been a slow news week on the mindless yob front, but never fear, they’re out there and they will continue to do what they do. Today’s contestants are representing the Lone Star State, Houston to be precise.

The Harris County District Attorney’s Office confirmed on Thursday that misdemeanor abuse of corpse charges have been filed in the case.

One of the men allegedly told police they dug up a grave in an abandoned cemetery in the woods, removed a head from a body and smoked marijuana using the skull as a bong.

I think you have to be high already, to think like that.

“Lets go dig up a grave, remove the skull and, make a bong out of it.”

“I’m in, Dude.”

Next time guys, save yourselves the trouble. Just head on over to the Bong Shop and get you one of these.
