Greetings fellow Bizarros:If you have nothing else to be thankful for this holiday season, at least you can thank God you don't live next to this asshole.
An Australian man and his family has set the Guinness World Record - again - for the most Christmas lights on a residential home.
It took 502,165 lights and 31 miles of wire, but David Richards and his family have done it again.
The family set the record in 2011 with over 331,000 lights, but lost the title to a New York family with more than 346,000 lights in 2012.
Each month's electric bill for this holiday spectacle tops $2,345. Lucky for the Richards family, a local power company has offered to foot most of it.
The Richards say most of their neighbors support the display, but there are a few who haven't spoken to them since they set the first record.
"I have always loved Christmas. Having the Christmas lights with the community coming in and sharing it is a time when you get to know people you probably should know better, I guess," Richards said.
Bizarrely,

Email Lewis*-- UPS probing pictures of delivery truck sex --*OKLAHOMA CITY - A UPS spokeswoman said the company is investigating photographs appearing to depict a sexual encounter in the back of an Oklahoma delivery truck. Susan Rosenberg, a spokeswoman for the delivery company's corporate office, said officials were investigating after an Oklahoma City-area woman who identifies herself as a "happiness consultant" named "Mary Ann" posted pictures of herself in the back of a UPS truck on her website, KXTV, Oklahoma City, reported Tuesday. The pictures depict Mary Ann with her breasts exposed while wearing an open UPS shirt. "Look at my naughty time from yesterday," a caption on the pictures reads. The pictures were brought to the company's attention by Brian Bates, who uses his JohnTV.com website to expose prostitution in Oklahoma City. "What really shocked me is that a driver would put himself in this position, no pun intended, and then allow the pictures to be posted publicly," Bates said. Bates said the post also included graphic details of Mary Ann's sexual encounter with the driver of the UPS truck. Rosenberg said UPS officials are outraged about the use of company property for the encounter. "It disrespects UPS drivers and customers. This is not behavior we would ever condone for anyone, let alone for our company. We want to assure other drivers and our customers that this will be fully investigated," Rosenberg said.
*-- Welsh bar's 'divorce' sign now says 'keeping the dog' --*UPLANDS, Wales - A Welsh bar that posted a sign on behalf of a woman who wanted to tell her husband she was divorcing him changed the sign again to say she is "keeping the dog." Noah's Yard in Uplands, which has a history of changing its sign to give special messages, put up the words "Paul... I am divorcing you" on the exterior of the building during the weekend and the sign was changed Tuesday to read "BTW I am keeping the dog," using the "BTW" text-speak for "by the way," the South Wales Evening Post reported Tuesday. The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she asked Noah's Yard to change the sign during the weekend to publicly shame her husband for his alleged infidelity. "I was angry and upset so wanted a sign to go up for everyone to see," she said. "When I found out I went through a mixture of emotions but felt angry and wanted him to pay. I had a drink in the bar on Tuesday and decided to get my own back. We have been married for years and it is so sad it has come to this. I am absolutely devastated and going through a really tough time at the moment. A lot of my friends and family have seen it and have been supporting me. I did feel a bit better once the sign went up. I wanted to name and shame him." It was not certain Tuesday that the dog-themed sign was a request from the same woman, the Evening Post said.
*-- READER COMMENTS --*Lewis, obviously the guy got more love and affection from his cats than from his family. Bet the kids are regretting missing all those Father's Day visits now!

Yeah, if you want to inherit a house soaked in cat piss.]
I feel for Ms. Happy Thanksgiving. I was born on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in 1972. My father is Japanese. One small misinterpretation filling out my birth certificate...and my name is Erection Day! -Erect

Could be worse. If you were born on December 25 you might have been named Clitmas. Which would you rather be; Erection or Clit?]
