Ricky New, Criminal Mastermind

This guy is awesome...
Robber's lawn mower getaway
A US man was arrested after he held up a convenience store with a stick - then tried to make his getaway on a lawn mower. Police say Ricky New, 45, of Aiken, South Carolina, has been charged with assault and armed robbery following the "stick up".

He is accused of walking into the Kent's Korner store where he ordered the clerks to "give me your damn money", reports the Aiken Standard. He began to hit one of the clerks with the stick, said sheriff's office spokesman Capt Elwell. She threw her arm up to protect herself from the attack and was struck on the arm several times. "She was bruised, but she is OK," Capt Elwell added.

"He received an undisclosed amount of money and fled the scene on his getaway vehicle - a Craftsman riding lawn mower." Sheriff's deputies caught up with Wood, who had disguised his identity but putting a white tower over his head, a short time later.
I'm sure it was a hide speed chase. And, wait, he tried to disguise himself as a Klansman during the escape? Oh this guy is epic.

The Redskins were down to their 5th strong RB yesterday, and they were out of O-lineman if anyone else was injured after the half.

"Logan Paulsen was our next offensive lineman set to go into the game," Cooley said, speaking of the team's third tight end. "I said have you ever played guard before? Have you went over it? He said 'No. But I think it's pretty easy. You just run what way they call the hole.' "

Coaches admitted they began talking to Mike Sellers and "a couple defensive players" about playing some offensive line in an emergency as well.

5th "String" RB...though he does look quite strong.

i want to know if ricky's "stick up" pun was intentional or just a by-product of his idiocy.

Zman, what's up with the Kanye album? Pitchfork, the hipsters, gave it a 10 and Wash Post called him a genius and basically eclipsing the Beatles. Can it be that good?

T.J. said...

Geoff, did you see Fat Al's reply when he was approached about playing o-line possibly?

zman said...

As I posted here a few days ago, Kanye's new album gets it done. I plan to download it tonight. Check out some tracks at rcrdlbl.com.

TJ--In did. But I gave him a pass as I'm pretty sure he was being facetious.
