Yeah, when he was at Florida, then he threw it out the window when he was about to get caught lol. He transferred right before they were gonna expel him I think.

They let Cam Newton and Tyrell Pryor play in the BCS championship and Sugarbowl games in the middle of their pay for play and jersey selling scandals.

Reply to TIL Anvil firing is the practice of exploding an anvil into the air. Anvils are typically fired as a celebration, be it to honor St. Clement's (the Patron Saint of blacksmiths) or in a 21 anvil salut as found in New Westminster, British Columbia. by jamescookenotthatone
A family friend of ours was into collecting anvils, for whatever reason. I remember one visit we all went to a vineyard where they had a demonstration of anvil firing.
They placed gunpowder between two playing cards between two anvils. It was pretty amazing, the shock wave would sting your shins, the top anvil would go straight up and come straight down hitting the bottom anvil with a satisfying clang, and all the kids would look around and for the burnt halves of playing cards.

Reply to comment by MoneyBags5200 in Texas homeowner faces fines after suspected DWI driver damages house by SarcasticGamer
Faces fines.
He wasn't fined.
It's click bate because it could just as easily been written "faces potential fines" or something.
"Hey, we're just letting you know that you're technically in violation, you have 30 days to fix it, but if you need more time just let us know."
Honestly the city seems the most reasonable of all involved here, but I get that an NOV letter might hurt the homeowners feelings.

They did this on purpose. Leak the stricter rules, so that when they release the less strict rules, everyone says, well, it could have been worse!
