Cleveland woman gets stabbed in the face for laughing at her drunk friend

fight

From Cleveland.com:

“A woman slashed her roommate’s face after the roommate laughed at the woman’s drunkenness, Cleveland police said.

The incident happened about 3 p.m. Monday at an apartment on the 7900 block of Korman Avenue on the city’s East Side.”

“Recha Spencer, 36, had been drinking since the night before when her roommate, another 36-year-old woman, began laughing at Spencer’s drunkenness.

Spencer became enraged, grabbed her roommate by the shirt and shoved her. Spencer then grabbed a knife and slashed a three-inch gash on her roommate’s forehead. 

Spencer fled the apartment, but officers called to the scene found her nearby. She was arrested and charged with felonious assault.”

Now THAT’S a girl I’d like to party with.

Couple things here though. First and foremost, 3 PM? Recha Spencer was drunk enough at 3 in the afternoon to slash her now ex friend in the goddamn forehead? I mean that’s just flat out fucking impressive. You can’t deny the stamina required to turn a girls night out into an assault charge the following day. Rech rode after hours right into mimosas. She was prob just popping home for a quick nap to recharge the batts before the Lorde concert and her trick ass roomie had to go and give her lip. What was she doing all day? Probably working? Get turn’t, hoe.

Lorde fans sing “Royals”, look exactly what you think Lorde fans would look like

ABC's "Good Morning America" - 2013

From Cleveland.com:

“Indie-pop singer Lorde made a tour stop into Cleveland Wednesday night where she performed in front thousands at Jacobs Pavilion. The 17-year-old is known for her unique voice and in the video above, concertgoers take a shot at singing along to the song, “Royals.”

Lorde is traveling across North America to promote her debut studio album, “Pure Heroine,” which was nominated for a Grammy Award in Best Pop Vocal Album.”

So Lorde was in town last night…

Thnx, Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor. More syllables in her real name or number of years she’s been alive? Answer: push, if you count the stutters. I find it difficult to wrap my head around the fact that I’m sitting here as a 23 year old in my cube eating a party size bag of Skittles that I’ve categorized by color, one at a time, like they’re the nectar of life, and Lorde is leading her own band of hippies and getting Grammy nominations as a 17 year old. But that’s neither here nor there.

Do yourself a favor and click the link so you can watch the video I couldn’t figure out how to embed in this blog. Couple takeaways from it:

1. Good or bad when the only word your fans can come up with when asked why they like you is “weird”?

2. lorde1

 

 

3. If you were the father of one of the two 5th grade girls wearing glorified sports bras and headbands, how many consecutive days would your daughter be wearing turtlenecks and snow pants in public?

4. What a fun album name for a 17 year old. “Pure Heroine”.

5. She probably outdrew the Indians game.

 

So pissed I missed the tailgate

Twins pitcher Phil Hughes was one out away from a $500,000 bonus, then it rained

MLB: Minnesota Twins-Photo Day

From Hardball Talk

“Phil Hughes has had a fantastic season for the Twins, potentially setting the all-time strikeout-to-walk ratio record, and entered his final start today needing to throw 8.1 innings to reach 210 for the year and trigger a $500,000 bonus in his contract.”

“Hughes has cruised through eight innings against the Diamondbacks, allowing just one run, but now it’s raining heavy in Minnesota and the tarp is on at Target Field.

Hughes needs one more out to get an extra $500,000.”

UPDATE: After an hour-plus rain delay Hughes did not come back into the game, which means he’s officially one out short of reaching 210 innings for his $500,000 bonus.”

What a kick in the dick that is. The Twins took their fair share of flak this winter for throwing $24 million over three years at a pitcher coming off a 4-14 walk year. Yankees fans practically pushed him out the door that Ruth built. He comes to the AL Central, goes 15-10 with a 3.61 ERA and has the best singe-season strikeout-to-walk ratio of all time. Then today he’s absolutely dealing through eight innings, the smell of that fat stack of cash getting more and more pungent with every out. Just cruising. One more out to pay dirt.

You would hope the Twins would either let him throw an inning out of the bullpen at the end of this week, or just give him the damn bonus because of the year he’s had, but you never know with these professional sports teams. And I’ve seen Fargo, I don’t trust anything from the state of Minnesota.
