The Barrel Monster

A North Carolina man is facing criminal charges for creating an amusing piece of public art from construction barrels.

Joseph Carnevale, 21, was nabbed Wednesday after a Raleigh Police Department investigation determined that he was responsible for the “monster” constructed May 31 on a roadway adjacent to North Carolina State University.

Carnevale was charged with misdemeanor larceny for allegedly building his orange monster from materials pilfered from a construction site. According to an arrest warrant, Carnevale “destroyed three road blocking barrels by cutting and screwing them together to form a statue.”

Police estimated that Carnevale’s artwork caused $360 in damages to Hamlett Associates, the North Carolina construction company that owned the barrels.

Hot Fudge Cake

The other day Sayra and I were talking about our favorite desserts.  After thinking about it for a few minutes, I remembered something that I hadn’t thought of in years, the Hot Fudge Cake @ Big Boy’s.

I remember this thing like it was just yesterday, even though it’s probably been over 20 years since I’ve been in a Big Boy’s restaurant.

The dessert was very simple – 2 pieces of chocolate cake with ice cream as the middle layer.  It then had hot fudge poured all over it and was the topped off with a little whipped cream and a cherry.

What made the dessert so good was the hot fudge.  This wasn’t some thin chocolate syrup poured out of a bottle.  This was the real stuff.  The best part would be the contrasting temperatures between the cold ice cream and the warm hot fudge. So good!!!

Unfortunately I haven’t even seen a Big Boy’s in decades. The ones that I remember most was the one in Gettysburg (Shoney’s) and the ones on our way to Florida (Elby’s and Bob’s).

Here’s a few pics of me from the 70’s posing with the Big Boy.  Check out my outfits. I can’t believe my mother actually dressed me like that.

So, You Think Obama is a Socialist?

The hot-pink portion of this pie chart is the percentage of listed American business assets that have recently been nationalized by the American government (ie, General Motors). Obama’s version of socialism is so sneaky you can hardly see it!

Pick The Perp

PickThePerp.com is a great way to kill time. They give you 5 different mugshots and you have to pick which one was guilty of the listed crime. I got about 20% of them correct.

I never knew that Vince Scaccio was charged with Giving a False Name to a Law Enforcement Officer.
