Walmart movie

Bad Walmart, No! It costs $12.95 for the DVD-I'll wait 'till Walmart has it at half price. Just kidding. You can find free screenings so, there's no reason to complain. For me, I could still complain if the only screenings were all the way in St. Louis, which I often refer to as St. Pewis, but there are actually two screenings in Bellevile next week-Go Belleville!

Don't feel bad my St. Pewis readers, I can often be heard calling Belleville-Hellville or better Smellville. Don't take offense-That's just how I roll. :)

News of the weird...

KLS News

Police now say an argument caused a 21-year-old man to jump from a moving truck in South Jordan.

Tyler Poulson was riding with his brothers last night when he became offended by one of them using profanity. Poulson, who recently returned from an LDS mission, threatened to get out of the truck if he continued.

One of the men, not thinking he would, told Poulson to.

Earlier police said the car was going about 35 miles an hour when Poulson opened the door and jumped. He was pronounced dead on scene.

Erick had to tell me that LDS means- Latter Day Saints. I thought it meant he as doing acid.
