Pitt Bomb Scares – Outline of Punishment

Last night, the University of Pittsburgh outlined new preventive safety procedures for accessing buildings in Oakland.  It’s a result of the multiple “bomb threats” over the past few weeks.  Just like Pittsburgh Pirate losing seasons, they are becoming too ridiculous to count!

Last night’s statement included the following (via the Post Gazette):

Beginning Monday, university personnel will begin to check all buildings before allowing anyone inside. Once a building is cleared, only one entrance will be open in each building and no one will be allowed in without a Pitt photo identification card.

The university also announced that book bags, backpacks and packages will not be allowed in the buildings.

University officials also warned that these measures will create long lines and urged students to arrive earlier than usual for class.

So even MORE inconvenience caused by this/these Jagoffs.  You know the details of the situation so let’s get straight to the punishment that we suggest.

Hey bomb-threaters (or the singular form bomb-threater if it applies) you think this is fun and entertaining.  In the meantime, 1,000′s continue to be inconvenienced at a high level.  The only punishment we can suggest, for when you’re caught, is to be sure that you feel the MISERY that you have caused everyone else so your punishment will start off with 10 straight hours of watching Pirates baseball games of the last 19 years, during which time you will be force fed a Taco Bell taco or a full order of PNC Park nachos with double jalapeno peppers every time the Pirates make an out OR have a run scored on them.

However, prior to that, our favorite gastroenterologist from UPMC, Dr. Lou Stool, will sew your colon shut so that you will be able to sense the kind of pressure your Jagoffery has caused.

In the meantime, since you seem to like the excitement of a big explosion, we will hook you up with the Zambelli fireworks staff.  They will see to it that you are strapped, naked, face-up on the July 4th fireworks barge in between two of the large fireworks launchers.  You will be close enough to enjoy the BLAST noise but ALSO close enough that the launch embers will be able to singe your bear skin, slooooooooowwwwwly, as you enjoy the show.  After the fireworks show, because we are nice and caring, we are going to suggest that you be whisked off to the Mercy Hospital Burn Unit and be put through the extremely painful process of soaking in burn debridement baths for your blast wounds.  The only problem is, there will suddenly be a shortage of any pain or sedation medication.

When you’re done soaking and screaming, you will enjoy being hoisted on to a post that says, “I love Coach Graham,” in front of Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning, where everyone who has been inconvenienced by this will be permitted to stick twigs, Popsicles, salt, Red Devil Hot Sauce or samples of the infamous MRSA infection into your open wounds for a number of hours equal to the lost class time at Pitt due to your actions, Ya Jagoff(s)!

NOTE: Comment below on what additional punishment these (this) Jagoff(s) should get.

This Car SUCKS On Gas Mileage!

 

Not much to say about this one.  Other than, probably most of our readers HAVE done this before…. just not in view of a Jagoff Catcher!!  We’ve done it….but never caught.  So before you laugh at this one, remember, this could have easily been you OR us.  And now that we’ve acknowledged THAT, let’s laugh!!

There we were cruising thru Oakland and there was this poor SOB…. gas cap laying on his trunk.  Of course, we were VERY nice and told him about it…. AFTER WE TOOK THE PHOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, you probably remembered your lottery ticket, 4 packs of smokes, some Funyuns, 2 SlimJims and a huge Turner’s Iced Tea while you were getting gas.  On the other hand, the stuff that’s vaporizing out of your gas tank at $3.99 a gallon is called gasoline.  And the reason why you’re currently getting .2345 miles to the gallon is….. YOUR GAS CAP IS ON YOUR TRUNK, Ya Jagoff!!!!

Who Designed The Fast Food Drive Thru?

A guest blog today from Eric Carroll, of the music group Ernie and The Berts!!

This is one of those things that leaves me to ponder “why has no one ever thought of that?” Much like restroom faucets where you can’t get your hand under the water without touching the side of the sink basin, or the how the lanes merge on the Fort Pitt bridge, this is just incredibly poor planning.

I’ve seen this sign (above) at many drive-through locations but this just happened to be one where I could grab a good photo. You can see how ridiculous it is.

It’s asking you to have your order ready when you pull up to the speaker. Buuuuuuuut only someone with vision like Superman would be able to see the menu before they’re actually at the speaker. You may argue that this an extremely familiar menu that we’ve all seen a countless number of times… so we should know it by now. Be that as it may, the thing is always changing… and you might want to see the menu before you order.

What if something strikes you as good after you see it on the menu even though you had planned on ordering something else? What if you have $5 in your wallet and want to make the best of that dollar menu and get the most meal for your money? What if your incredibly indecisive friend is in the passengers seat forcing you to try & recite the entire menu from memory?

When it comes down to it, the sign is requesting the impossible. You’d think it would fit perfectly… right beside a menu, so you could peruse at your leisure before pulling up to the magic little box to hear the garbled message asking if you’d like to try a value meal or whatever other promotion they’re pushing. (Again, peeing in the face of progress by having you make a decision on a new option after you’re supposed to have gotten your order all ready.)  They’re contradicting themselves at every car length!

Dear fast-food drive-thru engineers, did you guys FAIL your how-tangents-and-cotangents-meet-real-life exam… Ya Jagoffs?

Since you’re reading, this, check out our previous post about signs in the Heidelberg McDonald’s Drive Thru HERE!

Thanks again to Eric Carroll of the music group Ernie and The Berts for today’s post!!

School Bus Driver – Two DUI’s in 17 Hours?? He Ain’t Miss Frizzle!

OK, so this is the story that got bumped by Mike Milbury yesterday.  The whole story is explained by the Washington Observer-Reporter here.

The “deets” are, some parents realized, just before a school field trip that school bus driver, Miguel Rivera smelled like alcohol.  He was tested and blew “a good bingo” on the breathalyzer.

What was Miss Frizzle’s students say on her Magic School Bus?

Miss Frizzle: Seatbelts, everyone!
Arnold: Please let this be a normal field trip.
All: With the Frizz? No way!

In case you don’t know about the kids’ animated show, The Magic School Bus featured the exploits of Ms. Frizzle and her class of eight children who boarded a magical school bus which took them on field trips into the solar system, inside the Earth, and into the human body, or to other such impossible locations. (www.wikia.com). See, you remembered!

We’re not quite sure where Mr. Miguel Frizzle was going to take HIS kids on the “Magic Hat” school bus but thank God the parents to stop him.

But wait, there’s more.  Mr. Miss-Frizzle-Wanna-be goes, home, and we’re guessing he had to relax from such a stressful day at work, being charged with a DUI, and all, and possibly losing his job over it, so he…. yep, DRANK!

Not only did he drink, but he went out for….yep, A DRIVE!!!!

DING!  DUI number 2!

One of the national blog stories about this even mentioned that Miguel posted on his Facebook page a few expletives stating he had consumed beer and wings the night before and that the parents/school officials were just trying to ruin him.

Miguel-my-bell, there’s nothing funny about drinking and driving and nothing funny about  alcoholism.  But there IS something funny about your beer and wings excuse.  If THAT’S the case, lucky that the parents DID stop the field trip, cuz  if your drinking didn’t kill someone, we’re thinking your Miguel’s-famous-beer-and-wing farts would have, Ya Jagoff!!

 

Thanks to Twitter follower and Draw Something player, Moering, for sending us this story and being our

Honorary Jagoff Catcher!
