READING HEADLINES WRONG
Not that anyone gives a crap about this post but when I first read this headline I thought that the woman had divorced a midget. Oregon Woman Gets 140-Pound Tumor Removed
"Honey there is a dead body in the front yard"
Those of us in JOCO (especially SOJOCO) will probably never utter that phrase at 8am while going out front to pick up the front paper. It is something that you will probably say at least once if you live in the East Side.
I like how witnesses heard shots at aprox 3am BUT are so use to gunshots that they didn't bother to call the police. MAYBE, just a maybe, if they would of called 911 the guy could of been saved. What a freaking crap hole.
QUICK HITS
1. If carjacking were an Olympic Game Kansas City would be well represented.
2. 54th & Prospect, do I even need to tell you what happened after I type that address?
3. KCK makes up for slow weekend with a twofer.
4. What are the odds that these river racers will find at least one floater?
5. Gay & Lesbian group booted from Jackson County Park campground for drinking and unleashed dogs. This brings up an important topic worthy of discussion, do gay people own gay pets?
6. NOTE TO THE MIDDLE CLASS: DO NOT DONATE TO CHARITY, SAVE IT FOR YOURSELF OR THIS COULD BE YOU...
7. A school administration guilty of wasting money? Nahhhh.
8. "there is a rat in my soup"...
9. This guy would of been better of taking a multivitamin.
10. Booze and zoo's seem to be a problem in Europe. At least the Bears got a nice treat.
SHOOTING ODDS IN THE METRO
After 10 months of tracking metro crime I feel that I am qualified to start putting up some vegas style odds for shootings on a nightly basis in the metro area. Some of you might think that it is just a random number thrown out by me, but you are wrong. You have to study the "game", understand the players and the conditions.
Here are some(but not all) factors that I will be utilizing to create these odds.
1. Temperature - This is a nobrainer. The hotter it gets the more violent it gets.
2. Time of the Month - The further away from the 1st or 15th you are the more likely there is to be an armed robbery.
3. The headlines - If there is a drive by one night there is a good chance for retaliation the next night.
4. Concerts - If there is a Bay Area rapper having a concert in town, there will be a shooting.
5. Arrest made - Anytime the local police take down an alleged kinpin there will be a battle for that top spot.
TODAYS LINE IS : 2
AND OF COURSE THE MEDIA STILL IGNORES THE GANG PROBLEM IN KC.

SORRY HATERS
Does it get any worst for Missouri dwellers? Money magazine ranks the KANSAS suburb of OP as the 9th best place to live and Olathe the 11th best place. Lees Summit..........#79.
In other rankings Gangbanger Illustrated has ranked KCMO #4 in the nation, KCK finished #15.

UPDATE ON BLIGHT PHOTOS
Just an fyi.. I am still working on getting this done but as you can imagine it is difficult to get out and get all of these photos. I should have it done by Next Friday.
KANSAS CITY CRIMINALS CUTTING COSTS
Duct tape has long been none as a fix all tool for all do it yourselfers so it should be no surprise that KC criminals have started incorporating this into their robbery attempts. The only surprise is that criminals in this town were smart enough to think of duct tape instead of SCOTCH.
UNREADABLE ONCE AGAIN
I don't know why I keep going to the Sun publications website. It may be for the same reason people stop and look at car wrecks but I still venture to their crappy site once a week. This week Katrina Segers thought it would be topical to ask "what if an earthquake hit Kansas". Seriously. I can't wait for her follow up columns.
What if an asteroid where to hit Kansas?
What if dogs were called cats and cats were called dogs?
What if aliens attacked Kansas?
TOP 10 OBSERVATIONS ABOUT SOJOCO
Ever since moving into SOJOCO I have noticed that life out here is a bit different than the rest of JOCO. I am thinking about calling National Geographic and having them do a documentry based on suburb life in the SOJOCO( I am not kidding). There are things that go on out here that need to be documented and studied that are beyond my grasp and therefore need an expert analysis.
1. Play Dates- What the hell are these things? What ever happened to kids simply playing together? Now it is a big production requiring an invite AND they have to be with the right kids, your children can be social outcasts by the age 6 if you are not careful.
2. Where do you live? - This question is asked all the time when out and about in SOJOCO. This is a status test, because you can't answer Overland Park or Leawood, no no, they want a specific subdivision to see if you are worthy enough to associate with them.
3. HOA - These things are more restrictive and full of backstabbing than the Stalin regime. We got lucky and missed the civil war in our development but the drama is still there under the surface.
4. Mom Identifiers - Mothers in SOJOCO feel that the must call themselves "working mom" or "stay at home mom" as if that is their only identification in life. Do these women have no self esteem? Do they live to do what there husbands and kids demand? Get your own identity ladies and stop kissing the ass's of your husbands. MOM isn't your only label.
5. Live through their kids - I think that some of these parents were losers in High School and are trying to be what they weren't through their kids. I have witnessed people with no athletic ability whatsoever scream at their 9 year old for not putting enough break on the curve ball. I have heard about parents holding kids back a year in order for them to be the biggest kid on the team. Parents have even move their kids out of an one elementary school and into another because their was a kid that was better than them at their position.
6. OBX Stickers - If you have one of these on the back of your ride OR a similar sticker with your "subdivision" in initials you need to go F yourself. I don't care where you live or where you vacation.
7. Kids Cars - The site of a 16 year old in a 60k Lexus makes me want to puke. Whatever happened to getting a job and earning money for your own car? Some parents are passing off these cars to their kids for "good grades" or because they don't have TIME to work. THEY ARE IN HIGHSCHOOL, THEY CAN FIND THE TIME.
8. Retail - Who the hell can afford to shop at the stores that are going up in SOJOCO? Are people putting all this crap on credit cards? I would have to cash in my 401k just to buy a T-Shirt at some of these stores.
9. Restaurants are all the same - These place have no identity other than a sign out front. Where the hell are the locals? How about a nice Mom & Pop place with a unique menu?
10. 119TH STREET - This seems to be the great divide. If you ask anyone is SOJOCO if they have been some place on the other side of 119th street they look at you as if you are speaking a foreign language. It is almost as if 119th street is some man made river with no bridge. Of course the same can be said for people that live in NKC (never go south of the river) and Lees Summit(Grandview Triangle)
QUICK HITS
To say that it was an interesting news weekend in the metro would be an under statement.
1. KSHB news crew gets run over by man in wheelchair...... Right now KCTV 5) is kicking himself for not thinking of it first..
2. 40 shots fired into Grandview IHOP, 4 hit.....Gang Violence is becoming more common in the Missouri burb.
3. KCK residents die trying to install TV antenna....
4. Independence continues to produce more dumped dead bodies....Their dead body output may surpass their meth output by years end.
5. Scooter takes on bus...Bus wins in Lawrence. On a side note the only thing more annoying than cyclist guy is scooter guy. These idiots are not required to have a motorcycle license and have no idea how to ride them.
6. I hate St. Louis so this is good news in my opinion even if it is bad for America.
SHOOTING ODDS
If you took the under(the number was set at 6 by Vegas) going into this weekend then you are a winner. Who would of thought that out of 5 shootings NONE of them happened in KCMO or KCK. Was there a full moon out this weekend? Something is wrong here....
