“Oh Jesus fuckme Christ, I so need a shot of scotch. This little bastard is driving me up the wall. Too bad they don’t have those drive-up margarita stands here in Clermont, Florida, like they do in Louisiana. I really need to move my drunk ass to Louisiana.
“Hey…there’s a bar. Fuck! If I didn’t […]

As busy as Trench is with CrimeNe.ws and The Trenchcoat Chronicles, I’m elated that he still looks out for the little guy. He sent me this tip today about 35-year-old Australian dad Thomas Graham Towle, who has turned being a destructive bastard into some sort of extreme sport. Towle, drunk and reaking of alcohol, went […]

Hot tipper and good friend Genuine has sent me what may be the saddest, most disturbing story I’ve ever read. Savarin Dejesus of Harlem will have to live out the rest of her days knowing she’s responsible for her daughter Niah Ford’s death. What’s most disturbing, though, is how the tot died. DeJesus, who’s 18, […]

Three-quarters of the way through, a car barreled through the audience, sending at least one spectator flying through the air. What had happened? A teenage girl (pre-driving age) had taken her parents’ keys and turned on the vehicle to sit […]

I don’t know if you can classify this as parents behaving badly; it all depends on who gets the blame for letting Juan Reyes babysit two toddlers while their mom gave birth at a nearby hospital. From what the article says, both Reyes and the family lived in the same house, so I can’t imagine […]

Stephen Swarbrick’s children will finish up their childhoods without a father. The 41-year-old Brit lost his keys after getting drunk on Christmas Eve, then tried to scale a drain pipe at his house (presumably to climb in through a window). He was found alive the next morning, but later died.
Hey parents, if you want to […]

After reading this story, I came to a few conclusions. Well, that’s not entirely true. First I threw up in my trash can, THEN I came to a few conclusions.
One: there’s nothing wrong with these two parents that I couldn’t fix - with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

I bought Smashed by Koren Zailckas earlier this year, when it was shaping up to be the Next Big Thing in the personal memoir book market. I never finished it. I got about 10 pages into it and tossed it aside. The writing had a certain beauty, but also came off as pompous and overwrought. […]
