Wednesday, July 6, 2011Greetings fellow Bizarros:Did everyone enjoy their Fourth of July holiday? Our little barbecue went off almost without a hitch.
I barbecued for my family and a few friends. I might have been a little overly generous when I let my son bring a few of his friends over. I didn't even disapprove when they started shooting off bottle rockets at dusk. But when a roman candle ended up in my wife's Azalea bushes I kicked them all out.
But other than that it was as typical an all-American barbecue as you could get. We even had corn on the cob and potato salad. Of course, I had a huge tray of my special lamb-ka-bobs a-la Lewis which I marinated in lemon juice and olive oil overnight.
If you've never tried these I pretty much guarantee you'll love them. I usually rub them with a combination of ground sea salt and lemon pepper before skewering them and then I brush them with a little more olive oil when they're on the grill to keep them moist.
Plus, the wife prepared an absolutely fabulous wild rice dish which is similar to a rice pilaf. And for those who wanted a change of pace from the lamb we also had a few pounds worth of sirloin burgers. But believe me, the lamb-ka-bobs were the star of the show.
And it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Mid to upper 80s and sunny. For once I didn't mind a little global warming.
Bizarrely,

+-- Man sues over jail's porn ban --+MT. CLEMENS, Mich. - A Michigan man who pleaded guilty to bank robbery filed a lawsuit against Gov. Rick Snyder alleging a jail's pornography ban is cruel and unusual punishment. Kyle Richards, 21, of Fraser, who has been in the Macomb County Jail since his bank robbery arrest in January and pleaded guilty to the crime Thursday, filed a five-page handwritten lawsuit June 10 in U.S. District Court in Detroit asking a judge to rule for jail inmates to be allowed to possess pornography as well as TVs, radios and video games, The Detroit News reported Monday. "Such living conditions have been used as a method of 'psychological warfare' against prisoners, in order to both destroy the morale of inmates and break the spirit of individuals," Richards wrote in the suit. John Cordell said state prisons allow inmates to possess pornographic materials including Playboy and Penthouse magazines. The pornography ban at the Macomb County Jail is a county policy, officials said. Richards has filed several lawsuits in federal court since last year, including at least three tossed by judges who called them frivolous.
+-- Stuntman breaks forward jump flip record --+DAVIE, Fla. - A Florida stuntman set a Guinness World Record in Florida for the longest forward jump flip with a flip spanning a distance of 19 feet, 6 inches. Robert Souris, 28, performed the stunt on his 13th try at the Florida Triple Threat All Stars cheerleading gym in Davie, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Tuesday. Souris set his record while wearing the blue costume of Zero G, a comic book super hero he created when he was 11. "Zero G defies gravity and that's what I try to do," said Souris, who set the record at 16 feet last year before a Texan beat him with a 19-foot, 2-inch jump.

Hi Lewis, I have always gotten a kick out of your column, but I get really tired of all the nasty politics.. I'm fed up with all the nasty mean spirited comments. I like fun stuff. I feel folks should have to have some basis in fact before inflicting their opnions on us. Can we get rid of all the negativity and get back to fun? -dori
[
I can appreciate a woman who likes the fun stuff, but sometimes politics is inevitable when you pursue the bizarre.]
Lewis...You just HAD to print that article about the guy with the fish hook in his ass... now every nutsack out there is going to try to one up each other.. first it's the guy in Seattle with the iron fence in his ass... next.... someone in Boise impaling themselves on a flag pole? Someone in New York shoving the Empire State Building antenna up their arse? It's NEVER going to end! -BB
[
Probably not. Not as long as there are new and exciting things people are willing to put up their asses.]
