Omaha dad finds pot brownies, eats 4 of them, says mean things to cat

An Omaha dad who mistakenly ate some marijuana brownies didn’t enjoy the experience.

Omaha police officers were called to a house near 90th and Maple Streets about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday to investigate an accidental overdose. They learned that a 53-year-old man had been unloading groceries and found some brownies in the backseat of a car that his adult children had used earlier in the day.

The man ate four of the brownies.

The man’s wife told police that as she and her husband were watching TV, he noted that he was getting “bad anxiety.” She tried to call their children to ask them what was in the brownies but couldn’t reach them. (The woman told officers that she would rather not provide her children's names because she thought they could get in trouble. An Omaha police spokesman said the investigation into the matter has concluded.)

As police were at the house, one of the couple’s sons arrived and told officers the brownies belonged to his siblings. He told them he was “pretty sure it was just marijuana in the brownies,” according to a police report.

Paramedics called to the scene who checked the man found his vital signs to be normal. But they noted he was displaying odd behavior — crawling around on the floor, randomly using profanities and calling the family cat “a bitch.”

The man told paramedics he felt like “he’s trippin’.” He declined their offer to be taken to the hospital.

The paramedics helped the man to his bedroom and he got into bed. The man and his wife were told to call 911 again if his situation worsened.

If you aren't used to the herb, then edibles can mess your day up. At least the worst thing that happened is that some feline feelings got offended. If they were flakka brownies he would have fed his wife's face to the cat.

An oldie but goodie-

"I wanna make sure it goes through on the first whack!"

Meet Paul Morgan, aka "Freck." He wants to do something very out of the ordinary. "We could make money, chop your feet off with a train over the internet." Luckily, Paul didn't take his friend's advice, but he is going to cut his feet off. For $20, he'll let you watch him do it "live" on the internet.


"The feet have to come off anyway to have the amputation. I'm going to take my feet off this way to raise the money I need to get the prosthetics."

Yes, you heard right. Paul is going to chop his feet with a homemade guillotine. Paul injured his legs in a car crash back in 1986. He can walk but barely. He says his insurance company won't pay for an operation. That's why he's selling internet subscription for $20, so people can watch him amputate his feet. "They regard this as unnecessary surgery, because even though my feet and my lower legs are total debilitated, they're not a danger to my health."

Paul says he needs to raise over $100,000 to pay for the prosthetics and future surgeries. You have to admit, Paul seems a little crazy. Especially since the Attorney General's office offered to get him some help. "They offered a surgeon in Jackson, who would cut off my legs for free. Now, they didn't offer any kind of rehab or amputation or prosthetics." Paul says he needs extra money for post-surgery procedures.

The AG's office could stop Paul's plans. Officials refused to comment on camera, but they told us Paul might be violating the state's Mayhem Statute. The one passage that pertains to Paul: "Mutilating or destroying a limb." If convicted, a person could face jail time. The law aside, what about the safety issue? Paul says he'll receive a sedative and wear tourniquet on his legs, "I've already secured the efforts of EMT's locally as well as around the country who will be there on site." Paul will to go the hospital immediately after the cut.

As morbid as it sounds, Paul is looking forward to dropping the blade. "To me, this is going to be much more of a celebration. People say, 'you seem too much excited.' For me, it's going to be a celebration. This is beginning of a whole new way of life for me." Paul is scheduled to chop off his feet on November 30th. If he doesn't raise enough money, he says he'll give his voyeuristic fan club members a rebate.

This just in, it looks like Paul's fans will have to wait another month to see Paul do "his duty." Because of construction and web delays, the event is now scheduled for January 5 at an undisclosed location on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Overdosed? He was just high. Four brownies will get you lit, if they are made with good stuff.

My drummer, bowling teammate, and soul brother Eddie, blames me for almost killing him one day after he ate some cookies I made. Shortly after eating the cookies, he passed out on the couch, and our practice had no drummer. He doesn't smoke much, and he ate more than he should have. The bong hits probably didn't help.

I think another missile is about to be launched.

I'm really confused....though, sure, I would support this....I'm lucky people tolerate me....but I'm really confused.

Johnnie Walker Releases ‘Jane Walker’ Whisky To Celebrate Women’s Rights

“With every step, we all move forward,” says the brand’s new campaign.


To coincide with women’s history month, Johnnie Walker has announced a new limited U.S. edition with a feminine twist on their iconic logo, part of an attempt to garner more female whisky drinkers.


Jane Walker dons the label of the new bottles in a move that brand owner Diageo Plc hopes will widen the appeal of the product while celebrating women, Johnnie Walker Vice President Stephanie Jacoby told Bloomberg.

“Scotch as a category is seen as particularly intimidating by women,” Jacoby said. “It’s a really exciting opportunity to invite women into the brand.”

In 2016, the company launched “Keep Walking America” ― a campaign designed to broaden its audience and target groups like Latinos and veterans. Jane Walker is acting as an extension of that campaign and will appear on 250,000 bottles nationwide starting in March.

For each bottle made, Diageo will donate a dollar to organizations that promote women, including Monumental Women and She Should Run.

Additionally, the London-based company said it is making strides internally to boost its female representation and is actively “calling on advertising agencies to put forward one female director as part of any work pitch,” according to Bloomberg.



I thought the Dick’s virtue signaling was comical but this is just great.

Hey, that's not what I meant!

Let's assume it was.

I know this is a legitimate condition, and it must be horrible to be a woman with a facial hair problem, but I think this might be a guy.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/beauty- ... 34111.html

After years of shaving, a woman has turned the excess body hair triggered by her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) into inspiration for a beauty vlog.

Nova Galaxia’s Bearded Babe YouTube channel features makeup and glitter beard tutorials from the perspective of — in her words — a “simple bearded lady new to the #beardlife.”

In a recent essay for Graceless, Galaxia, 26, opened up about her decision in the fall of 2017 to stop shaving.

“After 14 years of shaving every single day, avoiding sleepovers as a teen, panicking if I forgot my razor when I went out of town, dreading if I ever ended up in the hospital where I’d be unable to shave, and not allowing my partner to touch my face, I put the razor down,” she wrote.

“Jump forward two and a half months, and here I am, fully bearded, at least two inches of growth. Hair all over my chest, breasts, and stomach. I went from living a daily nightmare to being incredibly in love with my hair in just that short amount of time. I no longer recoil in fear when my partner reaches out to touch my cheek. My confidence has spiked, and with it came some much-needed self-love.”

Since then, Galaxia has been using her YouTube platform to raise awareness and offer support to other women affected by PCOS. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health, PCOS affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age and can result in hormonal imbalances, acne, weight gain, infertility, and, as with Galaxia, hirsutism.

Those with PCOS-related excessive body hair continue to experience shame and social awkwardness. In a new interview with Metro, Galaxia, who is a cisgender female, said she is often mistaken for a man or trans woman.

“People have accused me of pretending to be a woman, or they think I’m transgender, but I don’t care,” she told the paper. “It’s not an insult to be trans, I’m just not — I’m a gay woman.”

She credited her partner Ash for helping her feel more confident about her bearded look.

“With my hipster beard, I feel happier now than I have ever been,” Galaxia said. “I am with someone I love, who supports my decision and loves me for me and my beard. I have no idea when I am going to stop growing it. It’s a part of me now, and I love it.”
