Neer-do-well Hall of Infamy: History
http://neer-do-well-hall-of-infamey.blogspot.com/p/history.html
Mugshot of the Day. Bob Tait was a black ex-soldier from Detroit. On the evening of March 20, 1917, he initiated a shoot-out with the police that ended as a murder-suicide that left Chief Constable MacLennan, Tait, and an eight year-old boy dead and a police detective blinded in one eye. Unfortunately Mr. Fergoso is not what he pretends to be. He lives in his mother's basement in Abbotsford and by all accounts is unemployable. A very sad example. The Pirated boat "Kaloni".

Mugshot of the Day. Brand spanking new inductee in this space comes bearing the name of a race horse. Grrrr. Yes indeed many moons of watching this grotesque offense fall in value after multiple dusters from a confirmed securities bow wowser doggie. Flavour of the week is graphite apparently. Pffft my disbelieving doodle.

Mugshot of the Day. Mugshot of the Day. Daniel Wood was sniffing on some spray cans when cops tasered him. The taser set him on fire.

Tuesday, January 31, 2017. Dodge's 2018 Challenger SRT Demon. As the Dodge Research Lab gets ready to unleash the Hellcat on the streets, a little promotional fuel kicks the intensity up a notch. Now that the Hellcat is a bona fide hit — nearly 12,000 sold in 2016 — Dodge is just about ready to drop the next. Say howdy to the new Dodge Demon. In late 2014 Dodge introduced the Hellcat, exploding the notion that 700-plus horsepower was reserved for supercars. Labels: Dodges 2018 Challenger SRT Demon. The n...
