Police hunt 'The Midnight Knitter' wool graffiti bandit
An unknown person or persons - dubbed 'The Midnight Knitter' by West Cape May residents - is covering tree branches and lamp poles with little sweaters under cover of darkness.
Mayor Pam Kaithern says police are looking into the knitted graffiti, which is technically against the law, as it is being done on public property without permission.
However, the mayor and many residents admit they're delighted by the woolly rainbow of colours that has popped up.

The knitter even has a myspace page
Grappling Grandpas
An 83-year-old grump who faces seven years in prison for giving a 99-year-old an old-fashioned whipping turned down a no-jail plea deal.
Gofman didn't want to talk about it, but his lawyer said he's just waiting for a better offer.
"He's sorry this ever happened and would like to have it behind him."
The grappling grandpas scuffled on Jan. 19 when Pulwers, who lives above a doctor's office, saw Gofman parked in the driveway and knocked on his window to say the doctor was coming to park in the spot.
Gofman, was waiting for his wife to return from a doctor's appointment across the street.
Prosecutors say he got out of his car and began bashing Pulwers, who turns 100 in two weeks.
Pulwers was left with two black eyes, a broken nose and damaged ribs.
Gofman was charged with first-degree assault and could have faced 25 years - but the charge was reduced to second-degree assault after he testified before the grand jury.
"He could kill a cow," said Pulwers.
"This guy knocked me to the ground like a tiger, with his knees. Like a tiger he jumped on my body and punched me how much he wanted. I lose power because I'm not such a young man."
When told Gofman had refused a deal to end the court case, Pulwers shrugged.
"It's up to the court," he said. "Listen, I'm too old to go find a lawyer or something. If the court send him to jail, okay, and if not, what am I going to do?"
Although he still has pain in his ribs, Pulwers said he is looking forward to celebrating his milestone birthday.
"I'm almost 100 years," he said. "What I could be doing? My wife make food, we make a shot, have a little vodka."

Long, but funny
This preschooler believes she got ripped off in the mommy department.
Guest Blogger Lily: Although I've only been on this earth three short years, I've learned one thing: You moms sure like to complain. From what I can tell, the whole "mommy blogging" world is one never-ending bitch-fest about how us kids get on your nerves. Did you ever think maybe hanging out with you guys is no picnic either?
My mom in particular is no prize. Here's why:
1) She's always messing with my stuff.
Like some obsessive-compulsive who can't stop washing their hands, my mom Cannot. Stop. Putting. Away. Toys. Let's say I've got my baby dolls painstakingly covered up with every available blanket and towel in the house -- like clockwork, she comes in and starts tearing the place apart. Then my babies start freaking out because she uncovered them and they're cold. Next time, I swear, if she touches my sh*t, I'm going to call the cops.
2) She doesn't have the answers.
It seems every time I exercise my innate curiosity and ask "Why?" about something -- not that often, mind you, just about 500 to 1,000 times a day -- she doesn't know the answer. Half the time I swear she's just making stuff up. I'm not stupid. I can easily fact check "Why is that man walking over there?" and "Why can that kid have ice cream?" on Google.
3) She's a remote control freak.
Here I am, watching one of my favorite episodes of "Dora the Explorer" (I'm a particular fan of Swiper, that kleptomaniac fox -- he's HOT), and they're about to sing the "We did it!" song, and suddenly Miss Kill Joy swoops in and tells me it's time to turn the TV off. Really? With only two minutes left? What's her trip?! How ya think she'd like it if I flipped off the boob tube right before Tom Bergeron announced the winners on "Dancing with the Stars?" If I tried that, I'd be in a lifelong time-out without possibility of parole.
4) She's a hypocrite.
Her self-serving mantra seems to be "Do as I say, not as I do." Here's an example: I love candy. In fact, I've dedicated my whole life to the acquisition of the stuff. But when I ask for it, my mom, in some sort of pathetic bait and switch, hands me a piece of celery or some other kind of flavorless garbage instead. Meanwhile, I see her secretly snarfing up pint after pint of Häagen-Daz cookie dough ice cream all by herself. Then I have to listen to her whine about her weight. Who is she kidding? You think she's ever going to get into her "Pre-Lily" jeans that way? Fat chance.
5) She knows NOTHING about fashion.
I know what I like. One thing I don't like is having a 40-plus-year-old woman trying to tell me what looks cool. I could care less if she doesn't think a polka-dot shirt with striped pants, topped off with a bathing suit and a tiara, "goes together." I don't see her taking home any fashion awards with her mom jeans and hair in a "time-saving" ponytail. Sheesh. I'm embarrassed every time she picks me up from preschool.
Obviously, this was stolen from someone else's blog :)

I have wasted the first hour of my day on this website FML!
Today, my three year old nephew was pointing at the TV screen and saying "Uncle, Uncle!" He thought it was me on the screen. It was Rosie O'Donnell. FML
Today, my grandma's cat peed on my full leg cast. The closest doctor was a three hour drive away. So my grandma wouldn't take me at all the whole weekend. FML
Today, I saw a man on the bus with the strangest band shirt I have ever seen. I could not help but stare at it and try and figure what the band was, until he turned to me and said "why not take a picture asshole?" then got off the bus. As he walked away I saw that he was missing an arm. FML
I love Betty White!
She is going to be on Saturday Night Live soon. Maybe the show won't suck so bad when a she is on it as the guest star!

Move over, guidos. The Russkies are coming!
"We are big fans of 'Jersey Shore,' but the Russian community has its own set of characters which we think could be even more interesting," said co-creator Elina Miller, who is working to find a network for the show.
"There will be plenty of vodka, techno music and guys wearing Adidas pants, leather jackets and gold chains, and driving souped-up cars," she said. "There will also be a lot of hot, decked-out Russian girls."
Since the casting site brightonbeachshow.com went live last week, Dizik said, they've received hundreds of prospects.
"It would be really funny if we got a Russian mail-order bride," she said.
Giving "Jersey Shore" a run for its money, they've already received a fair share of uniquely nicknamed applicants.
"We've heard from 'The Entity,' 'B-Boy' and 'Mr. OTB' [Off The Boat]," Dizik said.
Boris Kantarovich, 21, who works at a wireless store in Brighton Beach, was among those taking a shot at the limelight. He said he deserves it because he embodies the neighborhood.
"I'm crazy, I like to party, and when I'm drunk, I do a great impression of Boris Yeltsin," he said.

Pancakes
When ever I think about suicide I start to cry.Are love was dysfunctional at times. Distant at others. He blew off my depression. Yet somehow it hurts to think where so far apart now. I hope he gets better soon, so we can play L4D together.I still miss him, as a very close friend.He is so warm, kind, and smart.There is no doubt in my mind that he is the one for me.I could never cheat on him, no other guy could do it for me.
