Bizarre News - February 4, 2015

Greetings fellow Bizarros:

What did you serve at your Super Bowl party? Pizzas? Hot wings? Italian sausage? Amateur. This Florida man served gator tail at his tailgate Super Bowl party. The only problem is he didn't have a license to kill the reptiles.

30-year-old Richard Nixie chose the wrong menu item for a Super Bowl meal when he decided to kill five small alligators for a gator tail dinner, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials said.

Nixie was arrested and charged with possession and taking alligators without a proper tag.

According to a report from the wildlife commission, Nixie caught five small alligators -- less than 5 feet in length.

Nixie admitted trapping the alligators and then cutting off their tails for "Super Bowl Dinner" at his home the report states.

Nixie was released after posting $500 bail but will have to appear before a judge. All in all a small price to pay for an epic Super Bowl dinner. A small price for him, anyway.

The alligators had a somewhat greater commitment.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Texas boy suspended for 'Hobbit' ring threat --*
KERMIT, Texas (UPI) - A Texan boy's fascination with The Hobbit has gotten him in trouble with school officials. Jason Steward, of Kermit, Texas, said it's "unbelievable" that his 9-year-old son was suspended from school for threatening to make another student disappear. Steward's son, Aiden, recently brought a ring to Kermit Elementary School after seeing The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, in which Bilbo Baggins carries a magic invisibility ring. Jason told the Odessa American that the school suspended Aiden when he said he could make a classmate invisible with the ring. "I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend's existence," Jason told the school in an email. "If he did, I'm sure he'd bring him right back." Kermit Elementary School Principal Roxanne Greer said she could not discuss the incident because student affairs are "confidential."


*-- Police: Drug dealer dialed wrong number, got detective --*
ALBUQUERQUE (UPI) - Police in New Mexico said they arrested a woman who dialed the wrong number and offered to sell drugs to the wrong person -- a police detective. Albuquerque police said Renea Lucero, 30, apparently dialed the wrong number Wednesday afternoon when she called a police detective and asked if he was interested in buying any cocaine or heroin. The detective, who was familiar with Lucero from a previous case, arranged to meet Lucero at a location in the city to purchase drugs. Police said the detective called for backup, and officers met with Lucero, who was observed removing heroin from her bra and handing it off to Luciano Navarro, her driver. Navarro sold the heroin to the undercover detective for $30, police said. Lucero, Navarro and another woman who was in the car were arrested, police said. Lucero allegedly admitted to officers that she had accidentally called the detective, thinking it was the phone number of her boyfriend's friend. She said she was trying to raise gas money for a trip to Los Lunas. Jail records show Lucero was released from custody Thursday.

Lewis; Hey, I totally support the rights of Americans to participate in whatever consensual sexual acts they enjoy regardless of how deranged or perverted such acts may be perceived by others. However recording such acts for anything other than legally produced porn is just stupid so I've no sympathy for anyone who is prosecuted for participating in such stupidity although I'm sure there are lawyers who will defend the rights of such morons to do so. -R.S.
[There is nothing wrong with two consensual adults recording a little kinky fun. The stupid part is putting it on the Internets.]

People need to be aware that any time an under-18 kid appears naked on a publicized video due to "sexting" or amateur porn, it's considered child porn and the FBI is likely to knocking on some doors. They take this stuff seriously.

You put out a story about a college coed posting a homemade porn video on the internet, and you didn't post a link to it? What the hell is wrong with you?
[Hey! You have to do your own research.]

It should come as no surprise that a sh!tty customer service rep from a sh!tty company like Comcast would change a customer's name to A$$hole. -Ted
[I wish my cable company would call me some dirty names and give me two years of free cable.]
