Man Accidentally Shoots Wife During Standard Gun to the Head Sex Act


(CNN) -- Arthur Sedille was up-front with police: He would often put a gun to his wife's head during fantasy sex play at their Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, home. But Sedille said he didn't know the gun was loaded when he pressed it to his wife's head and pulled the handgun's slide back during sex on the night of December 21. Now Sedille, 23, is facing the possibility of a murder charge in Canadian County, Oklahoma, in the death of his wife, 50-year-old Rebecca Sedille -- who died when the handgun went off in their bedroom.

Ahh, the old accident during a sex act defense, usually reserved for asphyxiation or a heart attack, but that's beside the point.  Dude, no one is going to buy this.  The jury is going to take one look at the facts of the case and convict your ass. 

They're going to see a 23 year old kid who in the haze of cougar sex realized that he'd married a woman 27 years older than him.  Everything was probably fine during the honeymoon faze but after a while everything just fizzled out.  Bored with the standard run of the mill unloaded gun to the head sex, feeling trapped and wanting something different in a passionless marriage you foolishly chose the most convenient escape, you loaded the gun.  No one is going to buy that it was loaded by accident, that was as premeditated of an act as they come.  

And I'm sure your defense to that is the "look at me I'm ugly, who else am I going to find to marry me" defense but that's bullshit.  Even if you do look like The Bearded Lady from the Circus there are always plenty of uggo's closer in age to you, someone who's sexual tendencies won't leave you bored and longing for more.   

You're going to be lucky to avoid the chair kid.

Indoor Soccer Wrap Up: A tie? That sucks.


Yep, regular season ended in a tie, which doesn't please me at all. I'll say it again, we're all adults, we can handle winning and losing.  I need a goddamn result. None of this tie crap, I need to know if we're better than you or not.  Also in a more real sense we needed a win to gain entrance into the winners bracket, but a las. 


All in all B8 (or what was left of us) played very well.  Playing so short handed we not only didn't have subs but had to recruit a replacement player I think a tie is more than we could have hoped for, especially given the early 2-0 deficit we faced. 


Using good ball movement and stalling/slow down tactics due to exhaustion we plugged our way along to net a 3-3 draw.  Scoring was led by Super Sub replacement player Kate, who coincidentally is awarded the game ball for this week.  Though there were many chances, the scoring opps were routinely stopped by the other teams keeper, including a save on a penalty kick against Mazz.  Just our luck that the one week we're short handed we face a team with an actual goalie and not some shmuck who got stuck back there because he can't play anywhere else. 

Depsite missing out on the real playoffs, B8 will now take their talents to the losers bracket (yea its B league soccer, everyone gets a playoff game, its like Tee Ball in that regard) where presumably we'll run through all remaining teams in preparation for next session.  Nothing short of complete domination will be accepted.

See you all next week...Ross send out a damn team e-mail.

Southie Snow Storm Parking Story: A Boston Media Tradition



SOUTH BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - It’s a battle every year in Southie after a big snow storm: people shovel out a parking space and then try to save it. South Boston residents do it after every storm. They mark their parking spaces after they shovel them out and claim them with chairs, cones, trash barrels and Christmas trees. Some save spots by not shoveling at all. Mayor Menino reminded parking spot savers earlier this week that lawn chairs or other items should be removed 48 hours after a storm. But not wanting to start a battle, the city now says it will only collect those items if a complaint is called in or when trash day rolls around.

Its finally here!  I was seriously getting nervous waiting for this story to make its first appearance of the year, but in the end the Boston news outlets just couldn't help themselves, and I'm glad. I wouldn't want to live in a world where Boston's 3 annual stories aren't reported on. What are those three you ask?  Why, I'll tell you!

First, in the Spring, there is the annual coverage of the Boston Red Sox equipment truck packing up and heading south to Florida for spring training.  I have no idea how this first became a news worthy story, presumably there were a few very slow spring news days way back when, but its become Boston's unofficial first day of Spring each year. 

The second arrives in the Fall, and it is Moving Day for all the Boston colleges.  Typically in the first week of September news crews rush out to take pictures of double parked cars, students carrying futons up stoops, and moving trucks illegally parked on sidewalks.  The hard hitting coverage occasionally touches on raw human emotions as overly saddened parents weep as they drop off their freshman kids for the first time, knowing that in the first two months in school that kid is going to do everything they could never get away with while living at home. 

And finally there is the Southie Snow Storm parking story (video below).  An annual collage of various unwanted house hold items cast out into the cold, but given new life and value as they defend peoples most valued real estate after a snow storm, their shoveled out parking spot. 

I'd say its a truly sad state of affairs that people have to save a spot they've just shoveled out.  I'd like to think people would have the decency not to steal a freshly shoveled spot someone else worked for.  But then again I'd be a hypocrite.  A few times during my street parking days I'd literally barrel out of my snowed in parking spot and move up two spots into a freshly abandoned clean spot.  Sure this led to uneasy stares from neighbors and a couple of notes draw into my car in the snow but my feeling is if you didn't take the time to drop a household plant or desk chair into the spot it obviously didn't mean that much to you.  Don't bitch at me for being resourceful. 


Craigslist Killer Movie Coming To Lifetime



How awesome is this going to be?  I typically hate Lifetime originals, just blatant sexist smear campaigns against the male gender, but I make an  exception in cases where the topic is a fairly recent current event (think the Pregnancy Pact from last year). Safe to say you all know what I'll be doing this coming Monday at 9pm.

I have no idea where they found the lead actor for the killer role but he is a straight doppelganger for the real killer, and the inclusion of a Baldwin brother always raises the quality of a film. 

Rate This Live Puppet Dancers Career



Wide range of thoughts here, just an up and down roller coaster of emotions trying to judge if this guy is happy with where his career is.

 At first depressed for the guy, clearly when you spend 4 years at the Berkley School for the Arts your first plan isn't "The Village People Puppet Dancer." At the same time how many of his classmates are playing for sold out stadiums? The majority are probably just playing clarinets or saxophones on subway platforms or street corners for spare change, because lets be honest, artists make less money than this blog.  Then I came to the realization that this wasn't at a pro arena, this was a Uconn basketball game, so clearly he hasn't made the big time as a professional puppet dancer just yet.  

And was anyone else a little too excited when he finally switched from Macho Man to the 90's compilation?  I was bordering on depression myself watching this guy perform to the same lame half time song that's been used for 30 years, was good to see a fresh performance.  Then what does he do? He goes right back to the Village People and finishes with YMCA. Damnit dude, I wanted to like you, I really did.  But no, you had to finish with a cliche.  What would your uppity performing art school classmates think of you now? Sell out.
