Congratulations, everybody! A credit card company has dubbed the Old Pueblo the City Where the Most People Try to Buy Love Most Romantic City. Are you blushing?

Apparently, in the first two weeks of February, spending jumps 68 percent in our city—making us way more romantic than those inconsiderate jerks in Portland whose spending only jumps 15 percent. What are they even thinking?

Here's how Valentine's Day spending breaks down, nationwide.
Biggest spending on Valentine's Gifts:

$52.2 million - flowers
$50 million - jewelry
$38.3 million - apparel
$18.6 million - specialty gifts
$7.2 million - movies
$7.1 million - restaurants
$1.2 million - salons and spas
So, go spend a billion or two on flowers—but don't forget to share your tips on how we can blow more money this week and really secure our place as #1 in America's heart.

I received this email today, and I don't have to say much else, except that there are some spelling and probably factual errors. I would email back but it might lead to my identity being stolen. 
To whom it Concerns

I'm a high level Washington insider who has the meat or big stick on Obama's secret and sorid life of Crystal Meth Abuse, shemale porn, and a secret lover shemale named Sabrina Suzuki who can be found on the Los Angeles Backpage website. Her secret Service code name is, "big stick."

Obama disclosures of Sabrina Suzuki and their myriad of sexual encounters that is well known to secret service and others as are his frenzied crystal meth shemale porn filled nites!

Ms. Suzuki is likely of Peruvian or S. American or Puerto Rican decent and She is quite willing to give an expose and I look forward to an Enquirer Front Page pic of both in their carnal sweaty and sticky boom
Boom game of catcher and reciever!

As discussed in Miami with Suzuki in 2013 she bravely and proudly spoke of her sex with Obama and at White house this quite a hard subject to dismiss!

Please contact me for more big ticket related details of this love affair.

Looks like Tucson got a visit from Adam Sandler last night. The Silver Saddle Steakhouse, a super delicious option for when you find yourself hungry on the Southside, posted the above picture to their Facebook wall last night. No word on whether Sandler is sticking around, or if he was eating off Benson Highway on his way out of town. Someone did comment on the photo that he was also seen at a Wendy's, so I guess your best option for a chance encounter is hanging out at restaurants.

I love the fine people of the Church of God in Christ, who had their 107th Holy Convocation in St. Louis over the weekend, and I hope the best for the young man in this video, but I'm not sure his newfound dedication to the "womens" is going to take.

I try not to fault people for how they spend their time...live your life, I say. However, the idea that people would want to use their fleeting moments here on earth pretending to work in an office seems, well, totally insane:

You're stuck at an office all day, deleting all-staff emails and futzing with the office printer. But imagine if you were also part of an online group, pretending that you were in an office all day.

That's what's happening at one of the latest cult Facebook Groups, Generic Office Roleplay. Over 2,500 members from around the world fill its virtual pages with posts that mimic office-wide emails. There are passive aggressive notes about food stolen out of the fridge, mandates about office dress and office supplies, and tips for improving synergy. Think TV's The Office meets David Rees’s clip Art cartoons, My New Filing Technique is Unstoppable meets live action role play (LARP), all happening on Facebook.

The term of choice for its practitioners is BLARPing—business live action role-play.

Yes, it's suppose to be an acted out version of satire, I guess, but still YOU'RE SPENDING ACTUAL TIME PRETENDING TO BE IN AN OFFICE.

It can be almost therapeutic. David Baker, who is the "facilities manager" at Stackswell online, and at one of the biggest buildings in Dubai in real life, goes so far as to make the analogy to combat vets who play Call of Duty to deal with post-traumatic stress. “Odd but it seems to work,” he says. “For me it’s an escape,” says Baker, who often checks the page while at work even during conference calls. “You get to be creative in your replies rather than ‘yes of course we are actioning, thank you for taking the time to inform us’ stuff.”

“It’s the opportunity to respond the way you would love to at meetings in real life. Instead of flipping out at work, they write about it on (Generic Office Roleplay). Super effective,” says Thomas, an “executive leadership team” in Melbourne (who didn’t want his last name used.) Thomas spends about 15 to 20 minutes a day posting and reading the page, time he considers mental health breaks. “There are some funny people out there and they are tired, frustrated, and caught from, by and in corporate. This is a genuine escape and an opportunity to empathize with people from around the world,” he adds.


In what seems like a bit of poetic justice, the fake office people have stupid drama just like actual office people:

A feud has broken out, and many of the original members are rebelling, lashing out, and leaving the group. It’s been taken over by the people who they were making fun of, who they say, are ruining the fun. A new CEO, David Frew, a real-life lawyer, has replaced Oscar.

And the adults are continuing with their office world—IRL and on Facebook.

So this morning, the weather people came clean ... On KVOA New 4 Tucson's Facebook page, Jeff Beamish tried to explain it all away with science:

Meteorologist Jeff Beamish here. Yep, we were wrong Tucson & we're not afraid to admit it. For transparency's sake, here's an explanation of what happened...

Odile's remnants took an unexpected 70 mile shift southeast, putting the 2-5" rainfall amounts over Santa Cruz & Cochise Counties.

All those very important Pima County public information media alerts and planning, and those sandbags. Frankly, I think the county lucked out so it wouldn't have to explain drainage and infrastructure issues not far from Tucson's own potholes and river streets.

But seriously, Beamish. Science?

If Tucson really wants to examine what happened to our rain-loving city, maybe we need to collectively ask ourselves, "What would Pat Robertson say?"

God didn't want Tucson to have all that rain because it's that liberal lower half?

OK, science wins.

Yo-Yo is one of the very few sports that Americans have stolen, and damn near perfected it. Take 18-year-old Gentry Stein from Chico, CA., for example. He won the 2014 World Yo-Yo Championship over the weekend. No one — not even Japanese world Champ Takeshi Matsuura — could handle the heat Stein was dishing out. 

Check out his Stein's performance, but I suggest you mute the audio, and play music of your choice. Unless you like video game-dubstep:


Thanks for making us proud, son.

Hardcore rapper DMX doesn't get scared, he just acts like it. TMZ intercepted a video of DMX on the ride of his life at an amusement park in Orlando, FL. The celebrity news site edited the all the profanity, but there's enough classic DMX barking to make up for it. I wonder if this increases or decreases his street cred.

These weren't Talking Tina dolls, or Mrs. Beasley, like we had in my day (OK, who else put on her glasses and thought it was cool and not freakly?)—nope, porcelain dolls left on the doorsteps of homes in an Orange County neighborhood. The woman who left the dolls thought she was doing something nice and cool, but her super-tight OC neighbors are freaks and called the police.

OK, so by definition, I agree that porcelain dolls are creepy, but geesh, in this day and age, seems like you can't do anything nice anymore.

From Channel 7 San Diego:

A Southern California woman who attends her Orange County community's church decided to clear out her doll collection and surprise her neighbors with the dolls, leaving some residents stumped and "disturbed" by a resemblance to some neighborhood children.

The slew of deliveries began July 16 with at least eight San Clemente families finding porcelain dolls on their doorsteps.

While residents said they felt creeped out and "disturbed" over fears someone was trying to scare the Talega neighborhood of San Clemente, investigators learned Thursday night that the woman's intentions were pure.
"The woman attended church with many of the impacted families," Orange County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock said.

The woman said she was clearing out an old doll collection and thought of some young girls in the neighborhood who might enjoy them, Hallock said.

It was not clear why the woman did not leave a note or tell the residents about the dolls.
Earlier Thursday, residents said they were afraid of the reason behind the toys.

"I'm actually thinking the worst, like someone creepy watching our children and I'm actually pretty scared about it," resident Mary Robin Baziak said. "(Someone) found a China doll on her stop that looked like her daughter."

"It's really creepy and disturbing. As a mom with a daughter, it freaks me out," another neighbor said. "Hopefully it's a prank and not someone with very bad motives."

A PR agency in London launched a press release into space as a publicity stunt. The paper stops flapping at about 40,000 feet and gets very still when it reaches 27 miles.
