Outrageous

The elderly may seem like easy targets to thieves, but as this story shows, that isn’t always the case. On Monday, an unidentified 90-year-old California woman teamed up with a good Samaritan to chase down a mugger who robbed her outside a convenience store.

Apparently a couple of men in Laramie decided they have had enough and the Laramie community gets to benefit. The following garage sale description is unlike any other we’ve seen submitted through the Classifieds section through Laramie Live.

There are all sorts of ways to open a bottle of beer if you don’t have a proper opener — Lighters, silverware, belt buckles, your teeth, your friend’s teeth etc. These days, the cool kids are actually using iPad chargers to gain access to their bottled brews.

Patricia Krentcil made headlines last week after she was accused of sneaking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth. So, naturally ‘Saturday Night Live‘ had to have Kristen Wiig spoof her on the Weekend Update. The question is, did she pull through the whole skit without cracking a laugh?
