Foxpress, hmm.. some names...hope you get not headache thinking of them hehe..sound like sour grapes, but I has other grapes for you... 1992 -- THE WEIRDO-AMERICAN COMMUNITY A 40-year-old woman, unidentified in news stories, was arrested in San Antonio in April after she caused a commotion at a Bank One office. According to a bank spokesperson, when the woman was informed that her loan application was not approved, the woman stripped off her clothes and quacked like a duck. When police arrived, the woman answered questions by quacking and then caused $1,000 damage to a squad car by kicking it, while making 'vroom, vroom' sounds. A certain Ms Foxpress has been 'billed' for damages and faces charges of public nuisance, and driving without a car.

The Secret Life of DSGumby, Blue Flame Tutu Dancer John John, a troubleshooter for the Travis County, Texas, sewage treatment plant, who might be the nation's only professional sewage diver, has been revealed to really be DSGumby. JohnJohn, aka Gumby, dons a diving suit, mask, breathing tube, and air-powered tools to perform repairs on the 60,000-gallon, 16-by-40-foot containment vat. Said Gumby, "It's just a job to me that requires a lot of skill that not everybody has." A typical repair job requires Gumby to be submerged for four hours or more, in zero visibility. Gumby likens this to trading. Gumby describes the job as "very quiet and peaceful" and says that, at the end of a shift, the thing usually on his mind is food: "I'm usually starved when I get through. And Nasty has a powerful lot of vittles waiting on the crate."
