Shame on me! I just spent $3 on the current issue of Weekly World News (kind of like the National Enquirer, but worse). If you haven't seen it yet, its hilarious. On the cover is a picture of "Bat Boy" screaming down the interstate in a stolen Mini Cooper with the cops in hot pursuit. The subtitle reads "Mutant steals Mini Cooper car for a joy ride". I'm gonna frame this one to go in my office.

I hope the alarm systems come in soon. The ultrasonic motion detector should keep him and his kind away.

I love the Weekly World News! Ed Anger, Dear Dotti, Serena....what a riot! You know, it was the newspaper of choice for Fox Mulder. Where else can you get all the latest news on Bat Boy, aliens, chupacabra, and Elvis?

I'll try to get a copy this weekend. If no one beats me to it, I'll try to post a pic.

Be on the look out for a red Mini Cooper being driven by a strange, bat-like creature!

Hey Davebret, did you read your whole Weekly World News? They offer a free Bat Boy T-shirt if you buy a year's subscription. Maybe this is the first of many Bat Boy / Mini Cooper stories.

Oh man, this gets even better! Due to my British heritage, many of my friends use the nickname Britboy when referring to me....I sent that cover out to a bunch of people, and one of my wiseass buddies sent it back like this!!!
