On April 7, 2012, a an Oklahoma City apartment fire prompted a local news channel to do a story. Their newscast featured Sweet Brown, an excited apartment resident who was forced to relocate after the apartment fire, which she mistook for barbequein’, broke out. She recounts the events: “Well, I woke up to go get me a cold pop. And then I thought somebody was barbequein’. I said, ‘Oh, Lord Jesus, it’s a fire!’ Then I ran out. I didn’t grab no shoes or nothin’, Jesus. I ran for my life. And then the smoke got me. I got bronchitis! Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

In Boaz, Alabama, a maintenance worker at Walmart made a startling discovery.
While inside the women's rest room he discovered pseudoephedrine pills and a plastic water bottle with residue in the bottom.
The police were contacted and Chief Terry Davis called it a one-pot 'shake and bake' type of lab.
Davis told WHNT news that he had never heard of a shake and bake meth lab inside a business before.
Police said it takes 15 to 30 minutes to make a low-caliber methamphetamine, but believed the pills were not from Walmart, but another pharmacy.

WISCONSIN  — A Portage woman has apparently won a seat on the City Council even though she received only two votes — hers and her husband's.

There were no candidates for the City Council's 7th District seat. So on a whim, Carolyn Hamre wrote in her own name in Tuesday's election. She asked her husband to do the same.

A Portage Daily Register report says there were 11 other write-in votes but each only got one vote. So Hamre won, at least according to unofficial results. The election won't be official until the city holds its canvass Monday.

Hamre says it was mostly a joke. She says she plans to talk with others in town to help her decide whether to accept the position or to defer to another write-in candidate.

There's no way this guy saw this coming.

One person, or possibly several people, decided to show their dislike for a n Greek journalist in unique fashion. They pelted a news anchor with a barrage of eggs while he was on the air a few days ago.

He then goes off camera, cleans up and comes back to say something, most likely to offer some kind of explanation.

None of us here at Burd Droppings speak Greek, so we don't know why this happened or what anyone says. Found on this blog, it also offers little clarification other than what we can see.

If anyone who reads this does speak Greek and could translate it for us, email me.
